Why Use a Travel Agency VS an Online Booking Website?

Why Use a Travel Agency

A travel agent can provide advice, and help you plan the best itinerary for your trip, vs when you do it online, mistakes can happen, and you can end up booking the wrong airport, connections, or even dates.

Your travel agent has tools to get you the best itinerary for the best price, vs when you are booking online, you don’t really know if you are getting the best price or route. You can just be hopeful that you got it right.

Your travel agent has access to net fares and pre-negotiated rates which can result in significant cost savings to you, vs paying high prices online. 

Your travel agent is always available to you for any reason, question or concern that you may have, and you can travel stress-free knowing that someone has your back, vs booking online, you are on your own.

If you ever have an emergency and need to cancel a last-minute reservation, your travel agent is just a call, email or text away. Your travel agent will work hard to minimize the penalties you may have to pay. Vs trying to cancel a reservation with a call center, that may not be able to help, and won’t have your best interest in mind.

If you’re at the airport and your flight gets cancelled, your travel agent can help you get re-protected with another flight in minutes, and save you hours of waiting, vs a ticket that was done online — good luck trying to get help.

Something that online booking websites cannot compete with, is with flights or hotels that are sold out. Your travel agent has direct access to the inventory, and may get you a seat in that flight that you must take to arrive on time to your meeting, or get you that room in the sold-out hotel you love so much.

Technology is great for specific things, but when it comes to dealing with sensitive decisions, no one can do it better than us. Your travel agent will always look out for you, and do everything in their power to make your trip a success. When it comes to personalized customer service, a computer will never be able to compete.
