 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Travelocity Flight Reservations at Epinions.com
Both Travelocity and Expedia have gaps in their information base when dealing with foreign flag carriers, but it often seems to me that Travelocity is better at knowing about foreign carrier flights -- especially the bigger ones, and better about letting you actually book flights on them.
About two years ago I purchased tickets through Travelocity only to have them never arrive, get put on hold for over 30 minutes before speaking to a representative, and then finding that through some inexplicable glitch, the reservation was cancelled.
Bottom line: Travelocity might be okay on customer service if you don't ever have a problem, but if you do, you should probably expect a lower level of service than you get from local travel agents.

Travelocity's "Roaming Gnome" campaign is cute—and mildly effective, I'm guessing.
