Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

Air Portugal issues these tickets in booking class J. This is a rather attractive business class fare, leading to a credit of at least 100%, but often up to 200%. Even without any further tier bonuses, you can expect the following mileage for a Lisbon-Toronto roundtrip:

Hotels

Hotel prices in Toronto usually start at roughly €105, depending on the hotel category. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:

Information & Tips for Toronto

Toronto is known for its iconic CN Tower, diverse neighbourhoods like Kensington Market, and attractions such as the Royal Ontario Museum and nearby Niagara Falls. The currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), and credit cards are widely accepted. The price level can be high, especially in terms of accommodation and dining in central areas, but there are budget options available. Toronto experiences cold winters with snow and mild, humid summers, making the best times to visit spring and fall when temperatures are more moderate.
