Top 20 Reasons You Should Use A Travel Agent!
1. Our extensive knowledge helps enormously with trip planning. We’ve got the inside knowledge on every type of holiday, ranging from European tours, bike tours, Nile River cruises and everything in between. We can guide you on how long to allow for travelling, the best way to get around once you’re there, how much time you will need in each city etc.
2. We offer valuable advice and suggestions. We have been to where you are trying to get to or we have listened to the feedback of other customers. We can provide you with plenty of ideas on where to go and many useful tips that will make your trip extra special.
3. We are often cheaper especially for complicated itineraries.
4. You have consumer protection, as we have membership in the Travel Compensation Fund. We also act as a consumer advocate, so if there is a problem during the trip, we clarify the fine print on penalties and restrictions.
5. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, simply call us and we will rebook your onward flights. This sure beats calling an airline or queuing at the check-in desk to sort it out yourself.
6. If you need to reschedule, we can ask airlines to make changes to your tickets without fees.
7. Seat assignments for VIP passengers. We call the airlines for exit row requests, otherwise pre-seating is done.
