Would you fly on a "consolidator" flight? I'm not sure how they work, but they appear cheaper than the general flight search engines. Does anybody have personal expeirence with them?

as far as i know its like bulk fares - nothing different than priceline or hotwire or sta - they give you a cheap fare with restrictions

whats the big deal? just read what the restrictions are - i flew once one-way for a great price (1/2 the round trip price) on a consolidator fare
