I have the same view as Singersmom and others - I’ve flown Delta internationally and booked directly with them. I’ve always booked directly with the airline. I usually check the other sites like Orbitz, Expedia, etc. but the prices are usually the same, but are often higher, than directly with the airline. Most airlines also state that their own website has the lowest fare.

I feel more comfortable that there’ll be no issues if I book directly with the airline (or rental car company) but then I’ve never booked on one of the other sites to test whether there’s any validity to my better comfort factor.
