Same here. My travel agent can always find me cheaper international tickets than what I could find on the internet. Does anyone know exactly how this works?
The best part is they can put me on a wait list for cheap tickets!
- JoshTriplett 14y ago> Same here. My travel agent can always find me cheaper international tickets than what I could find on the internet. Funny, I've always had the opposite experience: every time I've used a travel agent, they always found more expensive flights with worse timings (time of day, layover, etc), and I end up requesting specific flights based on what I've found online.
- jff 14y agoI've used a travel agent once; she found me a trans-continental flight for about $200 less than I could find anywhere else, but for some reason I've never tried calling again.
- ajays 14y ago> Does anyone know exactly how this works? Most travel agents on long-distance, well travelled routes work through consolidators. These consolidators buy tickets (or promise to buy tickets) in bulk far in advance, and then re-sell them later. This is what I've heard about segments like USA <-> India.
