Book directly. Most of the airlines will also let you buy a ticket through their websites. The only problem with direct purchase is that you will not be able to run a side-by-side comparison with the competing airlines. Buy your ticket through an online travel agency. Online agencies such as Expedia give you a chance to access different air tickets and compare them.
