Travel Itinerary
There are benefits and drawbacks to using ITA to book your trip.
Pro's:
Easy to use web site.
Great deals can be found.
Con's:
The trips it finds are sometimes impossible to book.
That having been said, the cheapest fare I could from from Atlanta to Berlin flying business class or better was around $4,500 dollars using traditional sites like Expedia, Orbitz, etc.. ITA was able to find me a fare for $2,335.00.
Ultimately I had to book the first leg of the fare myself, first through Orbitz, and then through Icelandair's website.
