Reserving flights through Road Scholar

Doing it on your own works great. Wouldn't have it any other way.

RS may not always be the cheapest. In addition, if you do it on your own, you know what you are getting. Who wants 2-3 stops going international.

Much better to do on your own.

It is very easy to do it on your own. Global Entry - the airline website tells you where it needs to be entered. Easy - Do it on your own then you know what you are getting. RS does not let you know until just prior to departure. Who wants to stop 2-3 times

This is the first time I booked through RS, but I had already researched flights. I knew the few that would work for me in terms of getting to the program on time. I used RS because they advertised as being able to book for cheaper rates. RS booked me for the flight I had already spotted as "best" and charged me more than I would have paid had I booked it myself.

Lucky you. We are still waiting for RS to process a refund for a taxi voucher that the driver in Quebec could not scan. We have emailed, called, submitted receipts etc. No response other than automated emails.

Booking your own flight often provides much better connection time as well as seating options. I'm traveling to Israel from the Washington DC area and taking Air Canada - great connections and security as well as price considering the exchange rate!
