Reasons to Use a Travel Agent

Since starting with Betty Maclean Travel there has been one question that I have been asked over and over again, "Why should I use a travel agent when I can book my own travel online?"  Well I want to clarify and give you reasons why and when a travel agent is a godsend to assist with your travel plans. 
The First misconception, atleast for my office, is that it Costs More...  Actually when booking Cruises and some other varied travel the price is the exact same!!  Your travel agent is your advocate who you get to tell what you desire for your vacation and they make it happen.  What do you get?  The Best Stateroom on the cruise ship, OnBoard Ship Credits, and so much more.  You never know what you are missing out on when you book it online!! 
HERE ARE SOME OTHER REASONS TO USE A TRAVEL AGENT: (LIST IS FROM TRIPOLOGY)
1.CONVENIENT ONE STOP SHOPPING: We can handle every aspect of your trip form airline ticket, hotel, transportation, activities, tours and so much more.
2.GUARDIAN ANGEL: if you should have a problem during your trip, we can act on your behalf to see that things are rectified to your liking
3.EXPERT GUIDANCE: travel agents are experts in helping travelers get where they need to go and in helping to create possibilities most people never would have dreamed possible or affordable.
4.UPDATED INFORMATION: travel agents are constantly communicating with the travel community, thus giving you the most up to date information on airlines, hotels, car rentals, travel visas, and other travel services to consider as you plan your trip.
5.USING CLOUT IN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION:  whether it is airline seats, cruise reservation, or overbooked activities travel experts have more buying power than the average customer.
6.GENERAL IDEAS ON WHERE TO GO: a travel expert can offer excellent trip advice based on details of what type of trip you want to take.  Internet booking sites tend to require a destination up front.
7.A TRIP TO NOWHERE...SORT OF: want to get away to somewhere that is not normally a vacation hot spot?  Your travel specialist can help you find that perfect place.
8.YOU GET TO BE THE BOSS: you get to tell someone what to do for a change.
9.LOST BAGGAGE: if the airline should lose your baggage,  your travel agent can get on the phone and make sure the airline works as quickly as they can to solve the problem allow YOU to at least go relax at the hotel.
10.BECAUSE IT IS THE SMART THING TO DO...THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN IS A GREAT VACATION!!!
