Anyone Have Experience of Kiwi.com for Flights
Discussion
So, I was on google flights the other day trying to book some flights for Turkey next year and the cheapest option was to buy 'split tickets'. No problem I thought as I have done this before but usually with the airlines direct.
In this case I can fly out with Pegasus a Turkish airline and the return flight is Easyjet for £34. Now here it gets confusing, when you try to buy through Easyjet via the Google Flights link you encounter the 'wheel of death' before the link crashes. However if you go through their afiliated partner link, in this case Kiwi.com you can indeed book the flight with them for £34 receiving confirmation of booking and e-ticket. Boarding passes etc will follow in the usual manner a few days before I'm told. Pegasus was no problem straight to their site and having contacted them over an email issue I'm happy this is above board.
As I didn't get a Easyjet booking reference number I thought I'd try to book a flight via Easyjet same day/time but the costs comes out to over £100. I'm not aware that a budget airline would offer discounted tickets via a third party re-seller so what am I missing other than smelling something fishy?
If it was on the way out I'd be tempted to take the gamble but being at a Turkish airport late in the evening to be told the e-ticket or whatever is invalid and then try to book another flight likely the next day does not appeal. Happily I can move/cancel Pegasus flights but not Easyjet.
Anyone any experience of Kiwi.com? The reviews don't fill me with confidence!
