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.
Information & Tips for Madeira
Madeira offers a range of attractions, from Funchal’s botanical gardens and cable car rides to the unique network of levada walks and dramatic coastal viewpoints like Cabo Girão. The local currency is the Euro (€). Generally, the price level is moderate, offering good value compared to many Western European destinations, though it’s not a budget-only option. Thanks to its subtropical climate, Madeira enjoys mild, pleasant weather year-round, earning it the nickname ‘Island of Eternal Spring,’ with warm summers and temperate winters, although higher elevations can experience more rain.
