I must say that I tend to disagree with some of the answers given here.
Booking online versus travel agent
1. Most consolidators will not book with a consumer, only with travel agents, so you would still have to use a travel agent.
2. Unless you have lots of spare time to spend on the internet, and you travel to these destinations on a regular basis, you would be better off going to a travel agent. A travel agent deals with flights all of the time and would know when and where to find the best deals. Being a travel agent, I receive tons of promotions from tour companies and airlines regarding the specials and air fare pricing daily. So i must say that you are definately better off working with a travel agent.
3. When you use places on the internet to get your deals, and something goes wrong you have limited options of what you can do and who to talk to. Using a travel agent, most are available at all hours and will help you if you have a problem when your on your trip.
4. Booking online is not going to recommend places to visit, must sees, best hotels and restaurants in the area, or advise you what documents you will need to carry.
Large travel agency vs Small agency
I am a home based agent and I have been doing this for a total of 14 years. I choose to work from home versus a store front becuase i have children at home and I like being at home with them. I can however handle any problem or situation that may arise.
Just wanted to give my opinion on these answers.
Thank you,
