Travel Booking Agents how are you holding on to your jobs? Everyone is into booking Travel Online these days, Travel Agent stores are becoming a thing of the 90s many of them like me are out of a job. I ended up getting in on the Travel trend, I also hear that even Donald Trump has a Travel booking engine. If there are any Travel Agents left tell me how are you able to hold on to your job? Because I just could not do it. I know Travel is a 7 Trillion Dollar Industry worldwide and there is money to be made, but my old agency was making all the money and paying us close to nothing. Now I own a booking engine and book travel on the internet 24/7 and get paid to teach others how too.

Travel agents - circa 1990 - How did it work? Were you a travel agent around 1990? I'm hoping to understand the US travel agency business in 1990. Specifically: - When you used a service like SABRE or APOLLO to book a ticket where did the money go? Customer pays Travel Agent for Ticket and when does Travel Agent pay Airline? Does Travel Agent actually pay Airline or does Travel Agent pay SABRE or APOLLO? - When did the Travel Agent collect commission? Did Airline/SABRE reimburse the commission or did Travel Agent withhold the commission? - I presume that there were fees for having a SABRE or APOLLO machine, correct? - How about the Airlines, what was their relationship with SABRE or APOLLO? What sort of fees did they pay? To whom? I am trying to understand the cash flows and contractual relationships between: - customer (passenger) - travel agency - Reservation system (SABRE/APOLLO etc...) - Airline Thanks so much! JH

Question about Travel Agents versus buying online? I'm thinking about taking a trip with my two sisters, and we'd like an all inclusive package. Would it be cheaper to look for packages online (as we have been), or should we see a travel agent?

We are flexible as to the exact location of the trip.

Why do People not book with Travel Agents? Im a travel agent and its funny of things that I hear; Well it will cost me more using a travel agent (NOT TRUE) ; Actually you will get it cheaper except Air Since Air you dont get commission on so Agents will sometimes add commission to this; My Agency dont do that but some do. Reasons to use a Travel Agent: #1 Will save you $$$ #2 There usually protected by Insurance (E&O) Ask this before you deal with them and have them show this #3 If you have a problem with hotel,etc; you can call your agent and they will deal with the supplier since they have more power then you. #4 Most are certified in certain areas; and may know something that you dont (Hotel Renovations;Closings etc) ALSO never;ever not get Travel/Cruise Insurance Especially for a cruise alot can happen on a cruise and without insurance your stuck. I just wanted to point this out.
