TFC Travel Tips

There are several major differences between using a travel agency and using the airport (airline) ticket agents:

A travel agent can look at all the airline fares, not just those of a single carrier. A good travel agent will check fares on at least three carriers. Airlines can only give you their own best fares. Then again, you can always call up three (or more) airlines yourself to discover the best fares on each.

A travel agent can check for special deals with consolidators. Airline ticket agents can’t. Airlines sell heavily discounted tickets only through consolidators, not direct to the passenger.
Given the frequency of fare changes these days, a good travel agent can often find you some real bargains. A bad travel agent, on the other hand, may miss getting you the lowest possible fare. So it is best to find yourself a good travel agent.

If you don’t care for consolidator tickets, the travel agents get the same pricing information as is available from most of the on-line reservation services and the airlines themselves. So you can do your own legwork if you wish by calling the airlines themselves.

TFC say why do it when a good travel agent can do it for you? After all, when you buy a ticket direct from the airline the airline still keeps the commission, so why not give the commission to a travel agent, who’ll do a little leg work to make sure you get the cheapest fare?
