We don't charge for any of this. We also make priority seatings for you and take care of anything else that our clients need for their trips. This way they can have a stress free vacation and don't have to make multiple long distance calls.
All I can say is... I wish there were more travel agents like you, josierac
As I was reading all the replies to this post about phoning your travel agent about a code, etc. I kept thinking, "Isn't the travel agent supposed to do that?"
Once (years ago, before I had a computer) I used a travel agent for a trip to WDW. I told her I was eligible for what was then the MKC discounts. She didn't want to hear anything of it. She just wanted to push a package
I made it very clear that I was extremely budget-minded. When asking about airfare, she just quoted $200 without even checking. I've never paid anything near $200 for airfare to Florida. As a matter of fact, that one time I booked with her, was thee most expensive fare I've ever paid. I usually pay $125-$150. Oh... she also told
me to call the airline the day before the flight to confirm
Priority Seatings? She never offered
I really didn't mean for my post to become so negative. Rather, I want to applaud all the travel agents out there who do do their job well.
So, I'll say it again....I wish there were more travel agents like you, josierac
