Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.  They know who's going to spend more.  Last year, U. S travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. Turns out that on average, Mac users lay out US $20~30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.  Their software doesn't always link to the hotel's system.  A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere 一 but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middleman's software isn't immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.  You could miss out on loyalty points.  Third party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programs don't recognize external sites, others award only minimum points without special offers, like double points on hotel stays.  Don, t be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.  Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click. These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers Check the fine print.  Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.  An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.
