I've removed my e-dress from the e-mail lists of Travelocity and
Expedia for that reason.

I use both these providers, and overall I'm happy with them. But the
low fares usually turn out to be non-existent or require some entirely
strange routing that doubles the travel time.

What I find frustrating is when the fare changes *while* I'm booking a
flight.
