Expedia pricing literally went up $300 between starting checkout and finalizing, within 10-12 minutes.

God damn predatory horseshit.

That may be because they don't check the tickets every minute. Once they check it, they get the current price. You should use the airline or hotel site anyway. It's usually cheaper.

And then you don't have to deal with Expedia when something goes wrong, you can just deal directly with the company whose lobby you are standing in.

I'm sad to say that Costco travel did the same thing to me and my wife. We cancelled our plans. Homey don't play that.

Just gotta say, I'm real happy I'm not the only one that still drops Homey D. Clown references.

That's the first time I've thought of it in years, but it fits my sentiment perfectly.
