Having only looked at IFLY's interactive website at www.lowairfare.com - I just did my first transaction.
Newark to LAX over the New Year - we got the times we wanted at the cheapest price $730 for tickets - nearest was around $800 for more difficult times from Preview Travel - or around $4000(!) at Travelocity.

Most impressive was they handled a credit card with a French billing address and the tickets were to be shipped to upstate NY!
I still have to fax over some ID - but this difference in billing address and shipping address has caused me endless problems....
This was quite impressive....
And when you are spending this sort of money on the Internet it really does feel good to have a human being on the other end of the transaction.... - we arranged the vegetarian meals and window seats etc....

All this booking at the highest volume travel time ever....

I still hold out that IFLY does have a future - IF they get more update management team and backing.

The concept DOES work.
