subject: Perks Of Using A Travel Agent [print this page] The upsurge of bargain travel websites seems to have no end in sight. The possibilities are endless when you search for cheap flights and airline tickets, but are you really getting the best deal and a quality product? How will you know unless you talk to an expert?
Even though you have the ability to purchase seemingly good deals online on your Europe airline tickets you may still be paying too much. This is why you should consider using a travel agent. With their close professional ties to many different airlines and many different modes and ways of travel, they have the potential to save you even more money than you thought was possible. They're experts in their field, and their field is travel. If you want the best way to get to the best places the cheapest way possible, they're who to talk to.
They're also going to be able to save you time as well as money. A travel agent has such a wealth of information at their fingertips. It can be called up and pulled out at a moment's notice. They will have more insider information than you will, even if you spend all of your free time (and probably some of your work hours) searching for the best flights.
One thing a lot of these bargain sites push is the idea that you can get a flight, a car rental, and a hotel all at the same spot at their website. Well, this might be true but can they also help you plan shuttles, activities, tours, and point out the best restaurants in town? I'm talking about those little hidden gems that only the locals (and the travel agents) know about. The answer is no. They can't. Using a travel agent is a lot like one stop shopping.
Their main goal is to get you the best value possible for your trip and to satisfy your wants and needs fully and completely. This means you'll get unbiased advice. No one is trying to sell you to a specific airline just to make a few extra dollars. A travel agent works for you, not a travel supplier. They'll be there to help you through any problems you may have along the way, too.
So get off the bargain travel site, put down the mouse, the tablet, and the smart phone, and talk to a real person with your best interests at heart!
