This is the latest scamster amongst the internet travel sites. They are an absolute fraud. When you punch in a requirement for flight it will show you a low option which you cannot refuse. As soon as you punch in all your details and go further, it says that availability has gone!
I understand if you take time in typing (which I did not take) in a dynamic system your seat could go but this is not the case. As soon as you re log in to their site and put the same request, it will again show the same availability. Then again you repeat the process it does the same trick over again.(it is like old wine in new bottle)
This has been happening since 5 days so I am sure it is not a tech problem as they could not survive without noticing such a problem if at all. It is all intentional. And worst of all is the thought that every time you are punching in your details they are capturing useful data base for themselves.
I prefer dealing through flesh and blood (i.e. physical travel agent) rather than such an impersonal system which is there to cheat you.
