I am thinking of going to Europe next spring and am looking for advise on buying my airline tickets on-line. Do you think it is less expensive to buying on-line rather than using a travel agent? And more importantly is it safe? I understand you don't get a paper ticket and I am a little worried about showing up in Europe looking to fly home without any paper confirmation.

Thanks so much, I really enjoying reading all your postings.
