<p>My son bought a ticket through an aggregator on Skiplagged. The
aggregator owns the ticket, and so when changes must be made--
especially on non-refundable flights-- should you miss a segment
for whatever reason, the rest of the ticket is binned. <br>
</p>
<p>Imagine at 0400 when he calls as he misses flight from LHR to PDX
his is cancelled. The retail same-day price was then charged, and
he was robbed of about US$1700. Why? The train from Paddington to
Heathrow was delayed an hour. <br>
</p>
<p>When things flow smoothly, there is a great price advantage. When
there's a problem, the aggregator must be contacted to approve
changes in the routing as they technically are the agent of the
ticket. If you can't contact the aggregator or the aggregator
won't/doesn't have a method to alter the ticket in your favor,
you're beat. <br>
