I had tickets for international travel purchased for me via Expedia, and everything went fine. I use Expedia to look for cheap flights but since most of my travel is served by Alaska and Alaska Horizon (used to be Horizon) I can always get cheaper and more direct flights directly through the Alaska Airlines website.
For hotels I often get a great deal using AAA, but I have also found deals through the official website of such hotel. For conference travel more often than not I can find a cheaper and better room on my own than for conference rates, and Alaska Airlines has often had great hotel deals through their site.
I also have a travel agent friend who helps me out.
