This is the first time I booked with CheapoAir.com
Its $1 cheaper than Orbitz and much cheaper than Travelocity and Kayak.
I've tried Orbitz before, and it was plenty of FAIL, and so because of price. (And saving up for that stupid lens) I've decided to try CHEAP, and fly this stupid airlines.
Initially, when I saw the above ad, I was pretty happy, but when there is no way of entering the "coupon" during checkout, I realized that it was a FAIL and a ploy again.
Then checking on AsiaTravels.com and Zuji.com.sg, the prices are $120 higher, and I decided that since it was the same flight, I'll trust the Kayak Price comparison, and go with CheapoAir.
By The Way, Singaporeans without a US Credit need not even try as they need a US / Canada Billing address. So go pay your $120 more with AsiaTravels.
I am going to earn some miles, and get lots of pain! (I've got China Air miles eligible for upgrade!)
I booked the tickets and got this reply.

I have a feeling that this service may suck as well, and there may be verification calls to add on the pain. Nonetheless, I hope that returning to Boston to meet my friends for the holidays will make it all worth while!

Out of curiosity, how did this end up going? I would like to buy tickets from the site, but they have sooooo many negative reviews that it is scary.
