Reserving flights through Road Scholar

I booked my own it was $200 less than what RS quoted me. I do think the one reply below made sense though, do your own research, then tell RS exactly what you want and you should get a price you are willing to pay.

This was 2 years ago. We're going to Scotland 17 Apr 2019 and RS travel was almost twice the price of Aer Lingus, plus return departure time was 6:30am. I called and they were not flexible on time or price. I booked my own flight departing at 11:45am.

How did that work out for you? I've always used RS for international because it was cost effective, especially because the transfers were a distance. I am planning a Scotland trip July 2020 and the difference between RS cost for the flight and if I book it myself (same flights) is $430. I figure I wouldn't spend more than $100 for a transfer from Glasgow airport to the city center (bus) and then from Edinburgh out to the airport. Edinburgh flight is in the morning but not too early that I couldn't find a cab.
