When you book through Travelocity, you are Travelocity's customer not the airlines. When we travel we either book directly, Club members with most major hotel chains, or though my company travel site.Still the direct customer.
You're right, when you book with the airline you are their direct customer and not a customer of a travel agency. You know what wonderful benifit that gets you? NONE!!!! We're talking about the same wonderful people that cancelled your flight on short notice. Do you honestly think that THEY would go out of their way to book you on a competing airline? At least a travel agent has the goal of getting you there and not just keeping your money. They have no problem moving you to another airline.
Actually when things go wrong or you need to reschedule it makes a big difference. When you book through one of the discount travel sites it is not easy to make changes.
Through a discount travel agent it is NOT EASY to make changes. When you book through an airline it is IMPOSSIBLE to change carriers. Travel agents (discount or not) have the option of booking on a different carrier. An airline IS NOT going to book you on a different carrier just because they don't have a flight until the next afternoon. They have your money and your convenience is of no concern to them. They'd leave you in a plane on the tarmac until the next morning if it weren't illegal.
