*BUMP*

Alright so let's talk booking sites, specifically some of the more "obscure" ones that come up on sites like Kayak & Trivago. It is safe to assume any sites being "scraped" by the aforementioned sites are safe to book through?

Basically I had put together an itinerary through Expedia earlier this week, but since then the hotel I picked is no longer showing as available on Expedia's site... but it comes up on some others.

I also discovered booking the flight through one site (flighthub) and the hotel through another (otels.com) ends up being about $200 cheaper than the original itinerary.

But, I've never heard of otels.com, and never used flighthub, is there any reason to worry about either site if they are coming up on some of the bigger "scraping" sites?
