Then I’m positively prehistoric. I’d rather book flights with a travel agent.

People question you but there's actually some good reasons. My first international flight as a teen was via travel agent and they managed to get me a $300 promotional ticket to Japan (usual price $800 at that time). They even hooked me up with a train pass, too.

That, and I read that any multi-destination trip can benefit from an agent, usually saving more than you spent on the agent. My guess is the train passes and things like that can also help a ton.

When I had to book flights, car rentals, and hotels at my last job, I did anything I could to just do it straight through the Delta or Hilton apps. Trying to use Concur was a nightmare. I could be done in a couple minutes and it isn't like I don't already have the corporate codes added to the respective apps. Saves the same amount of money and cuts out the shitty "travel agency". As a millennial, the more I can do on my phone in the least amount of time the better. There are always exceptions, but booking travel is something I would rather do on my phone.

The amount of bribe money that must be going to various leadership teams at large corporations to get them to pick Concur must be insane. It's such a terrible system, no one would willingly select it.

This guy travels for business. I think the worst thing about having to go through apps is if you need to send a travel request it's nearly impossible on an app. Otherwise apps the way to go

Look, zoomers are watching porn in their phones. I think our millenial quirky traits are just plain better.

I know better than to use a phone with any card input. Phones are the tool of the NSA. They might watch what I watched once but I'll pirate that shit on my comp ty.

I don't think it's age. I think it doesn't matter how old you are. There are plenty of suckers on all generations.

Laptop? No way. Desktop for big spends, with a minimum of two monitors 🙂

yall are using phones?

Me, I'm like, well, I could buy the train tickets on the app. But that'd require opening the bank app simultaneously to authorise the payment, and it's a bit fiddly (it didn't work reliably on my shitty phone a decade ago, it does work these days). Soooo I'll buy the tickets on laptop and run the bank app on the phone.

Millennials claiming to be “old” is exactly the same as a preteen being eight and a half!

Also, Android are more vulnerable to malware and viruses. I make purchases on Linux.
