Booking Flights
Adventure Fares recommends starting your fare search with easy-to-use search engines (like Google Flights) to locate the flight you’re wanting, dates and details. Then, after finding the flight details, we recommend booking the actual flights direct with the airlines. We also sometimes use travel services like Momondo.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com - and others. Booking with airlines directly is typically preferable, especially when problems occur (such as flight changes, delays, booking problems, etc).
