Cheap airline tickets, family vacations and last minute deals found on major search engines like Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline, and many other highly advertised websites don't save you much, though it appears to be cheaper by about 5-$10 dollars. If you aren't saving at least $50-$100s of dollars per hotel, per vacation package, then you really aren't getting the best vacation deal.
Did you know that cheaptickets.com and expedia.com is owned by the same company? You are still getting sold by the same company. The travel deals, vacation and family package you thought were money savers really aren't. They're all selling commercial rates. Travel agents and travel agency will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on your typical Disney and ski vacation, last minute vacation, hotels and major airline tickets if you find a good one.

Travel agents generally get all the specials first hand that the travel industry releases before they reach the general public. Generally we get wholesale rates on major international travel that's never released to the public, only travel agents. I saved one customer $300+ dollars on a flight within 2 weeks notice and many other clients that personally book travel through me. Cheap airline tickets and guaranteed cheap hotels rates are always within grasp by a travel professional. With the internet being the number one source for travel bookings(82 percent of all travel) it's best to work with an online travel agent that has their own travel business because of the savings you'll always receive if their true professionals of travel. Three good reasons to book family vacations and more through travel agents are:
#1. Hotel discounts: Right now, my personal website http://fortunestravel.com/ which is a complete online travel agency that guarantees the best rate 110 percent, all the time. And it's easy to navigate through. Plus I have immediate access to unpublished hotel discount rates only available to agents. Exclusive travel agents can have access to this information that always saves you money.
#2. International travel: Airline consolidators only work with travel agents. They publish international and some domestic unpublished airline fares to travel agents only and sometimes at $thousands below commercial rates. And you thought you were saving money.
#3. Promotional Rates. Last month I ran a special at http://justflyfree.com/ where 2 people could travel free for one entire year across the globe as many times you wanted. It's over now, but its countless promotions like these that you will receive if you work closely with a travel agent. Right now I was sent a special on an all-inclusive honeymoon vacation for 5 days at $409. Talk about travel deals.
Yes, it's true the old travel agency days are gone, but the use of having your personal travel agent, priceless! If the agent has their own online travel business and sounds professional, use them for all travel business, they'll really save you thousands.
