A travel agent can be an incredibly useful business tool, and your best resource for
vacation planning. We know you can walk into a bookstore and buy a travel guide,
or pull up information on the Internet, but we are more than just an
easy alternative to booking it yourself. A travel agency is a collection of people who are passionate
about travel. We
are specialists in making your travel plans a reality. Here are some reasons to turn to us first when you're ready to hit
the road.
10. We have access to all airfares for all airlines on one screen, so you don't have to
make a dozen
phone calls or visit a dozen web sites to get a fare comparison.
9. We are totally familiar with the arcane and confusing rules of airline faring. We
know how to make
them work to your advantage.
8. We watch out for our clients. If there's a schedule change, a cancellation, a pilots'
strike, or other
emergencies we call and let you know so you can rearrange your schedule.
7. If you buy a ticket from an airline and an hour later change your mind, you are absolutely, positively
stuck with your ticket.
6. Travel agents love to travel, and do so at the drop of a hat, so we are familiar with destinations
around the world from the mundane to the exotic. We can help you plan a vacation anywhere, and
chances are we've been there ourselves.
5. We know what visas you need to go to another country, what vaccinations are currently
required,
which airports do not meet FAA safety standards, and what the political situation is in unstable areas of
the world. We will give you all the options and let you weigh the risks.
4. A travel agent knows what questions to ask. We can save you money, headaches, and time. We can
tell you when there's a cheaper option, whether saving a few dollars will cost you too much in travel
time, why it makes more sense to take cabs instead of renting a car in New York City, and how to
choose a hotel for your big sales meeting or your honeymoon.
3. Through our membership with travel consortiums we are able to get special rates on hotels
throughout the world.
2. You can purchase airline tickets, hotel reservations, car rentals, cruises, tours, rail passes, and
certain theatre and show tickets through your travel agency. We offer the ultimate in one stop shopping.
1. We are the traveler's advocate. If something goes wrong, we are on your side, not
theirs.
