Vacation Travel

In the world of Online Booking, it's important to know that you still have someone in the real world to help you in many ways. As an American Express Representative, we also bring to you a host reliable, added-value products and services, simply not available online, as we have been since 1953.

Booking travel online is very convenient, but not always the most effective, safe or economical option. See what else a certified travel agent offers you, even after you find your perfect vacation online.

Before you book it online, ask yourself the following questions:
Do you want nonstop flights, or are you prepared to accept one (maybe even two or more) stopovers if it will save you money?

How much time do you have between layovers, and how large is the airport?

Can you make it there on time?

What happens if you miss your layover, is there someone you can call and instantly get you on another flight?

Traveling with children, what special help can you expect from your airline, cruise or hotel?

Which area airport is most convenient for you to travel from, and which other ones would you also consider using?

Would you be prepared to fly to an airport close to your destination as to save money?

At  what time of day do you want to leave and, more importantly, when do you want to arrive?

To save a few dollars many connecting flights have you arriving in the dead of night, with no ground transportation or services available in smaller airports.

What  about  excursions that you would like to attend, and if so, when is that event? Maybe we will recommend you to change your travel plans and travel earlier, or choose a flight that is more reliable for ontime arrivals.

Are you able to travel a day earlier or later if it will save you money - and maybe enjoy a relaxing day beforehand to prepare?

Do you know exactly what is a "restricted fare"?

Are you able to accept a restricted fare or might you need to buy a more expensive fare so as to be able to more easily make changes later?

What is your preferred airline, what other airlines will you also consider, and are there any airlines you refuse to travel on?

What are your frequent flier numbers, and, if there is a choice, which airline programs do you prefer to use to get credit first?

Do you have any seating preferences? Do you have any dietary needs?

Are there any other factors that someone needs to know in order to best arrange your travels?

Online booking simply can not offer solutions to the many problems that arise with worldwide travel, complicated vacation plans or even basic vacation demands. Your vacation deserves the support of a Travel Agent, to take the worry out of vacationing.

Because that what a vacation is suppose to do, help you relax!
