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
These tickets are issued in booking class O, meaning that for a trip via London, you can roughly expect:
- 3,722 Miles on Alaska Mileage Plan
- 2,872 Avios + 65 Tier Credits on Aer Lingus AerClub
- 2,862 Avios + 36 Qpoints on Qatar Privilege Club
- 2,862 Points on Finnair Plus
- 2,862 Miles on Japan Airlines Mileage Bank
- 2,862 Award Miles on LATAM Pass
- 2,862 Points + 14 Elite Points on Malaysia Airlines Enrich
- 2,862 Miles on Royal Air Maroc Safar Flyer
- 2,862 Miles on Royal Jordanian Royal Club
- 2,862 Miles on SriLankan FlySmiLes
- 1,316 Miles on American AAdvantage
- 1,178 Avios + 196 Tier Points on The British Airways Club
- 1,178 Avios + 226 Elite Points on Iberia Plus 2025

If you’re flying before January 14, you can get double the amount of Avios at the British Airways Executive Club:

Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
