Have Any of You Used the Travel Booking Agent Travorio?

Seems like they are a new company, but cannot find much information on them on the internet. Also, one of the very few third party agents where you can book a flight by paying Bitcoin.
Have any of you used it? I wish to support Bitcoin merchants, but afraid if it is a fraud/scamster who will just pocket the Sats and in the end I will get nada. Sorry for being cynical, but you know, it's a rough world out there.

There might be something here to look forward to- not sure of whether this is what you might be looking for?
From my experience Emirates are a decent airline and the Arab Emirates are themselves some of the most progressive in adopting Bitcoin and enabling Bitcoin MoE.

'In a bold move to modernize air travel payments, Emirates Airlines has announced plans to accept cryptocurrency payments from 2026... Under the agreement, Crypto.com Pay will be integrated into Emirates’ booking systems, enabling passengers to purchase flights, upgrades, and services using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major digital assets. Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer at Emirates, said the move reflects changing customer preferences. “This is about future-proofing the travel experience and embracing what our passengers are already asking for—safe, flexible, and fast payment solutions.”.'

Looks like a scam Most of the 12 reviews on trust pilot are concentrated on 3 or four specific days and sound fake. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/travorio.com

Then any direct bitcoin accepting (lightning or on-chain, from my wallet, not from kyc based prepaid accounts) that gives a competitive price?

None that I know of. Airline booking business is closely tied to banking and governments as airlines and highly debt leveraged and or owned by governments. How would a Bitcoin accepting business enjoy any inherent advantage in such a market?
