What are the benefits of using a travel agent? Is it cost effective? Can they help me with details?
I am planning a trip to Jamaica & was considering using a travel agent. I have heard both that they are free because they get throw backs form the places they promote, and that they are not free and you have to pay booking fees. I was surfing expedia.com & priceline.com, but fear that I am not going to get what I am looking for if I buy a vacation package online. Can a travel agent help me secure vacation details & extras, particular suites, & first class tickets?
I have travel both using travel agencies and booking online, and I guess none of them is better than the other, it all depends on your expectations, for example travel agencies have special offers to certain places, that will be cost effective and some of them are pretty cool, but you need to fly with certain airline, made the reservation with certain hotel etc, and if you want to have something different, then it begins to be expensive, for example they offer you a fave trip to cancun, but if you want to travel to panama city instead, staying in the same resort chain, the same amount of days, etc, it is far more expensive.
Now booking online offers you the possibility to select the hotel, the airline etc, etc, and you can save some money, but you need to book with a lil bit of anticipation time, and although you can book online a lot of services, you can have made a more detailed trip with the help of a good travel agent, as you wish with particular suites & first class tickets, of course it will cost a lil bit more, but you can see it as an investment, because you can travel with the security that you have a well planed trip.
