How can I safely book flights through an online travel agent and verify the airline reservation?

When booking with Ticketix or Aerotur through Aviasales, request the PNR and open it on the airline’s own website or app. A confirmed itinerary should be visible in the carrier’s system after ticketing.

A lower agency fare is not automatically a red flag: one reported booking was unavailable at that price on the airline website, but the reservation and itinerary appeared after purchase through an intermediary.

Before transferring the full amount to an agency, request the booking details and verify them directly with the airline. A ticket visible in the carrier’s system is more useful confirmation than an email from the seller alone.
