Looking to travel ?
Is an agent worth it? That depends.
First of all, they're convenient and offer one-stop shopping. You don't have to call a dozen airlines or hotels to comparison shop. If you use agents for routine business travel, almost anyone can help you. If you travel a lot on business, build a relationship with an agency -- you may find your agent has the clout to upgrade you every now and then from coach to business at no extra charge. You should also be able to negotiate a reduction in fees -- or at least free ticket delivery -- if you're a good customer.
If you're a leisure traveler, the rules are a bit different. The agencies that are thriving are ones that have developed a specialty, whether it's cruises, mountain treks, eco-tourism, extreme sports vacations, educational holidays or travel for the disabled. If you've never been where you want to go, try to find a travel agent who has. Brochures and pretty pages on the Web rarely tell the whole story. And despite their profession, some agents don't travel that much.
