Reserving flights through Road Scholar

It is much easier to let RS do the booking and then be on the hook to get you there, provide transfers, etc. I do book myself but am a very experienced travel planner and wish to get the flights I want with convenient routing and times on my preferred airlines where I have executive status and can usually get some sort of upgrade. I do end up paying more than I would with RS, but to me it is worth the extra expense not to always be in economy with some unusual flight routes and times that RS chooses.

I had RS book a flight from Portland Oregon to LAX to connect with their flight to French Polynesia. I assumed it was a good price. Turned out to be over $300. I later priced it on Alaska airlines at. $199. I book my own flights now.
