its true. oya oya okkoma airline wala ganan pennana site walin giyama ehema wenawa but
- direct sites also have charges. it mostly shows the final fee at the beginning
- but depending on airport some taxes are added at the end
- also, if you keep checking the same flight from google, it mostly increases the price and show you more adds. i suggest using incognito mode
- even after you get the final price adding name + passport info, at the final payment stage, depening on the credit card you use, you again have to pay an additional convenience fee for the bank
- also, this price vary from currency. some airlines does not have lkr as a currency so you have to select between different currency eg: INR and USD. prices depends on INR and USD rates. usually USD is higher. if you select USD as currency, you will be paying from USD from credit card which is issued from a local bank. this again have a higher rate eg: HSBC USD rate is about 10,15 rupees higher than normal USD rate in SL
- this become a problem in some airlines since they do not allow you to pay from lkr though it shows the rate from lkr depending on card you select, things may not work
but still its worth booking online so i book my own tickets. last minute deals are fantastic. booked a ticket to australia for 15000 one way few months back with 8hr transit in KL added meals and extra luggage which cost me around another 5000 more. but still worth.
you wont get those offers going through agents
