An unnamed source from one of the airlines named says the site should be put under the scanner, as no contractual agreement has ever been signed between the third-party travel distributor and the carrier.
"We deal with third-party travel distributors, but on a contract basis only. We have never heard of this distributor and we do not have any relationship with it. They are not permitted to sell tickets on our behalf," the top airline s source says.
After payments were made and e-tickets confirmed, travellers have been unable to confirm the booking with the respective airline and are thus not entitled to the flight they thought they had booked for.

However, upon calling hotel valencia san antonio the airliner, the bookings could not be confirmed and the ticket number was unfamiliar to them.

"Not only do I now have to pay the bank that money back and still sit without any legitimate e-tickets, but I also have to find money for other tickets. What do I do now, as I m sure that the person who received the money is also fictitious. How do I get my money back please help!" writes Elaine.
"With less money spent on their flight, our passengers will have more to spend on the ground, perfect for an impromptu trip away," said Khalid Bel Jaflah, Emirates Vice-President Commercial Sales UAE.
Available on selected return economy and business class tickets to 40 international destinations, the sale is valid for booking from today, Tuesday the February 7th, until Thursday, February 9, 2012.
According to a statement hotel valencia san antonio by Emirates, some of the most popular destinations included in this offer are expected to be: London, Dallas, Zurich, Beirut, Bangkok, Karachi, Paris and Mumbai.

"But was in two minds as the cost of four tickets – self and wife, plus two kids – was becoming substantial to justify a 10-day trip," he said. "Now, however, I've checked the prices this morning and the trip will be almost 27 per cent cheaper," he added with a twinkle in his eyes.
