can you really trust those cheap flight websites?

So, I’ve been itching to visit my grandkids on the West Coast, but every time I check flight prices, my jaw just about hits the floor. Last night, while scrolling through Facebook, I stumbled on one of those sites—Scott’s Cheap Flights—promising unbelievably low fares. You know the ones: “Fly to Europe for $200!” It almost sounds too good to be true, right? I remember the last time I tried to save a few bucks on a hotel booking site, I ended up in a room that smelled like someone’s old gym bag. My husband still teases me about it! Now, I’m a bit skeptical. Are these cheap flight websites really legit, or is there always some catch—like a 12-hour layover in the middle of nowhere or hidden fees that pop up at checkout? Has anyone here actually booked a flight through one of these sites and felt like they got a real deal? Did you run into any surprises or was it smooth sailing? I’d love to hear your stories—good or bad. I just want to see my family without breaking the bank, but I don’t want to end up stranded in some airport with no help. #travelquestions #cheapflights #familytrips #seniortravel #savemoney #Travel
