FlightCentre UK

I was looking for a flight tickets to go to Los Angeles for 4 people and I saw a deal in the national newspaper for £499 each, I went to book the tickets only to be told that those tickets were for fixed dates and the best price they can do the tickets for was £950 each, going with a airline I have never heard of with at least 2 stops both ways.

As I knew I could go direct to any airline and get the tickets cheaper I said no thanks and got up to leave, as I was leaving she gave me her card and said they will price match if I find it cheaper.

I left thinking why would I come back to the Flight centre if I can find the tickets cheaper by my self and they were then going to sell me the tickets for the same price I had already found.
I found the tickets for £550 each direct flight and with a airline I had heard of.
