Lively pronounciation
Main Post:
I've always heard it as lively, beggining with the same sounds as lie, but my english teacher, that has a pretty good accent says he thinks it sounds better(to him) starting with the sound of to "live", like leavely
I know mine is the most common, at least in standart american and SSB, but is there any accent where it's pronounced in my teacher's way?
Edit: his accent is more or less SSB/RP, the standart accents for english schools here. Edit 2: I am not asking for the correct one, i know mine is correct in the accents I'm familiar with. I just want to know if there is some accent where it's leavely
Top Comment: British here - your teacher is wrong, and I would worry about any accent he is teaching when he is this wrong
Ly.com - documenting my experience and how to book with them in the future
Main Post:
Like several others on here I booked with Ly.com because it was way cheaper than everywhere else before reading up on what kind of company they are, it ended up working out but I figured I should write down the whole process because there seems to be a lack of follow-ups on previous customer experiences.
I booked a Canada -> US flight with Westjet through Google Flights, and I was redirected to travelgo.com even though the banner says ly.com. Making the reservation and paying for it are two separate actions so if you get sketched out after the reservation part you haven't paid yet so it'll cancel on its own.
After reserving, I received an email from [email protected] with a temporary password to set up my account. After doing that and paying, I received an email from [email protected] with the booking information with a Flight Reservation Form that contains my order number, flights, passenger details, and some policy stuff. Note: at this point they will have charged your card but the flights are not yet booked.
At this point it did feel pretty sketchy but here is my experience with their live chat (they operate on Beijing hours so keep that in mind):

As you can see the live chat is ESL so keep the words easy to translate
About 20 hours later I received an email from [email protected] titled ITINERARY containing this info:
- Booking reference
- PNR
- E-ticket number
- Issuing airline
- IATA code registered to TONGCHENG NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. in China
- Passenger info
- Flight info
- Payment amount
I was able to verify my itinerary on the Westjet website and all the details are correct although my name is formatted in a pretty janky way that apparently is common for travel agent bookings.
So overall they are legit despite the sketchiness and you have to weigh the savings against giving your data to China and whether you will need customer support for your flight. If you're in a rush or need to book for multiple people it's probably best to go direct or at least with a more reliable service but if you're a solo traveler planning weeks or months ahead then I can see this being worth it.
I don't know what will happen if you don't receive your ticket or any communication after 48 hours but at that point you're probably safe to do a chargeback. And remember if you get lost on the Chinese portion of their website, just go back to https://www.travelgo.com/en-us
Top Comment: When’s your flight for boss? I got the exact same response when I called. Booked it 2 hours ago and haven’t received anything but a reservation confirmation without a PNR. Seems legit but super sketch
