I stopped using them completely after the second time buying plane tickets only to find they were unavailable in the middle of the checkout process.

I now go directly to the airline website.

Yeah, this is a thing. So many reasons but essentially the initial request returns a fare that is invalid when you try to book.

But there's also issues where the carriers play games by reserving flights for specific customers. By customer I mean the travel agent or website.
