    I’m here for the details on how this trip turns out! I thought it’s interesting to note that there’s no guarantee you will depart out of your actual local airport, because there’s multiple airports for the category you choose (Gate A, B, C).

      Also just wanted to add that I love how positive Stef is despite some set backs! I hope you have a great trip!

      • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

    I really wanted to buy this but the only good reviews are from people who booked but have not actually traveled yet. The people who traveled with them have nothing but bad things to say. Even for cheap I don’t want a crabby vacation.

      I was intrigued until I started reading the reviews on Groupon.
      Most of the 5 star reviews I read sounded like bot reviews to me. Real reviews have more details than just so-and-so was helpful. The reviews with actual details sounded like horror stories, from delayed or canceled flights, long lay-overs to filthy hotels that weren’t even close to 3 stars.
