our rule of getting to the airport 2 hours before our flights....always have and always will....just in case.
I dont think travel agents make much (if any significant) commission on flights now days, its the accommodation and cruises etc which bring in the $$ and bonuses.
I have booked our seats too on AA in advance.......would hate to get to the airport to have the checkin guys say "Sorry no room, come back tomorrow".
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Looking forward to hearing some feedback re the Bali flights as I have only heard this from a friends mate -
"I just got home from Thailand flying Air Asia- and so you still love them when you get home, make sure you double check your flight again and again as 2 of our 4 flights got changed twice!! Oh and don't bother with the seat selection coz we paid for it and didn't get it. And if you want food you should book ahead as they serve that first and we waited 3 hours to get a bottle of water! Knowing all this you should have a good experience!!"
As I said this is 3rd hand so put your flames out.
Cheers
