I was in seventh heaven last week when Yapta notified me about a price change to Bonaire, to the tune of a $800 refund on my credit card.

Mary, glad you got refunded. You sure must have paid big bucks for the original set of tickets as to get an $1800 refund.

They were very pricey-we had to cancel our original trip in November due to my husband's work, and got Delta tickets at 1400/apiece. Needless to say, this is a happy surprise.

I checked out Yapta last night but it doesn't look as if I can download it to my MacBook, using Safari as my browser --- I'm new to the non-PC world. Anybody have more information. I travel a fair amount, and this would be a great service.

Mary, That's fabulous!

No kidding-I know my experience is pretty unusual, since we paid premium prices for the tickets. Still, what a nice service-and we've benefited greatly from it.

Josie, you should check out Momondo.com, it was recently reviewed as the cheapest flight search engine by the Houston chronicle...

Yapta works fine on a Mac, you just need to use the Firefox web browser instead of Safari.

I am new to Yapta and am trying to figure out how to use it. Do you have to do the download first to try Yapta? I tried to plug my flight in on the home page and it said my info didn't match. Is your record locator number the same as confirmation number? What else am I doing wrong? Sometimes I feel like the dimmest bulb in the package. ;{

No you're not-I had the same problems. You do have to do the download. I used the confirmation number, not the record locator. It depends on the airlines if they're the same.

Unless I did something wrong, you can only use Yapta if you have purchased directly from an airline.

F. I purchased my tickets directly from Continental and received a full refund of the difference in the prices.
|
By F. Keaton (BonaireTalker - Post #23) on Wednesday, February 6, 2008 - 6:29 pm: |
No, you pay Orbitz, Expedia and Cheap Tickets for the airline tickets and they apparently make the arrangements with the airlines.
