Honestly, I don't know what people are talking about that trip.com is a scam. I booked a flight on trip.com to Chicago, IL round trip for $206. And everything went smoothly. But one thing I have to say tho. I was on their $#*! a lot. I call them twice a week just to check if my ticket is still there. And the day before my flight I called them and got my confirmation number and check-in at the airline website. Went to Chicago and back home with no problem! I had a great experience with trip.com!
