Using the brokers is good for checking flight options and prices. After that go directly to the airline if there is ANY possibility of changes. The brokers charge so much for changes you are looking at losing the entire $$ and starting over.

The airlines will be more flexible and charge less for changes.

You got it, good for making comparisons in price and that is it. Better to do a direct purchease via the airline and also you can see a image of the seats and make a choice where you will sit.
