I had some friends -- an Australian/Japanese couple -- who used Expedia
quite a bit for their international travels. I don't recall hearing
about any problems, though that was a few years ago. Still, I often
find that I get cheaper prices by going directly to the airlines. Last
year I wanted to go from Sapporo to Hobart (Tasmania) and got a great
deal from Quantas... less than half the price that Expedia wanted. So
check around.
