WHY SHOULD I USE A TRAVEL AGENT WHEN I CAN JUST BOOK ON MY OWN?

One of the first questions people seeking travel ask themselves is why they should use a travel agent. Did you know that when you book a vacation directly with a vendor, you are paying for a service that you are not getting? What the WHAT?!?

Here’s the scoop:

🤯 All suppliers -Disney, Universal, cruise lines, all-Inclusive resorts, etc. build into their pricing a commission to pay travel agents. All of them! This means when you book on your own, you are paying for a service that you are not getting. The supplier keeps that commission while you plan your vacation on your own!

🤩 Best pricing-There are no fees or up-charges in utilizing my services. Better yet, we have relationships with several vendors that partner with certain resorts or airlines to bundle together packages or offer bulk pricing to get you a better deal then you will find yourself. Sometimes comes with perks/extras that no one else can offer and I don’t mean a gift card for booking which comes out of our pockets anyway!! I mean real/special perks

💲 Best pricing goes hand in hand with adding current promotions when applicable. I constantly monitor promotions and if eligible, I will automatically try to apply it to your current vacation package saving you money. That’s right! It’s my personal Oprah moment when I get to email guests with their unexpected savings.

☎️ When you book through me you have someone to make calls (and wait on hold) on your behalf, whether to apply a promotion, make changes or in case of an emergency. It is not uncommon for me to spend hours on the phone to help my guests, while they can relax and know that I am taking care of them. 3 hrs on one call just today!

🚢 🏰🎢🏝 Booking with a certified travel agent means you are getting advice from an expert, someone who specializes in your destination and can provide you with personalized recommendations, answer your questions AND will be your support during an emergency. Travel agents go through extensive training with EACH vendor that we book with, and most of the time we have first-hand experience and/or contacts at these destinations. I would say that’s better than information from a web search or a blog.

🤗 It’s personal! Booking through a travel agent means that you have an advocate on your behalf who cares about you and your family! You don’t have to call a vendor and explain yourself each time. I get to know you and your family and what it is you are looking for in a vacation and am here to help you have the most magical vacation possible.

🥰 When you book with a travel agent, you are supporting a small business...my small business.

As travel agents we don’t get a regular salary or pay check, we work only on commission and only get paid AFTER clients travel. (Which means we don’t get paid for any of work done when someone has to cancel their booking)

Anyone who is considering travel either domestically or internationally, please support your local travel agency, even if that isn’t me.

But I would very much appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your vacation plans! If you’re ready…let's get started!

✈️✈️✈️ Copied ✈️✈️✈️✈️

Flying this summer is ROUGH!!! I feel like as a Flight Attendant I should attempt to share some tips to get you through airline travel for the foreseeable future. ✈️✈️

1. Things are not good..... if its less than 7 hours - DRIVE! I'm not kidding. There is nothing enjoyable about flying right now. On any airline. If you must fly, keep reading. 🚗

2. Download and use the app of the airline you are flying. You can do everything on it - get your boarding pass, track your bags, see your incoming plane, and change a flight. It sure beats waiting in the long line to talk to an agent! Trust me - Usually these apps will tell you a flight is cancelled before the crew even knows! 📲

3. Fly MUCH earlier than you need to - a whole day early if its important!! This week I saw many people miss important things like weddings, funerals, cruises, international connections, and graduations. The tears were very real, for very real reasons, and there was nothing I could do! If you have to be somewhere, spend the extra money, go a day early. Have a glass of wine and stay in a hotel, enjoy your night not being stressed while everyone else misses their events. 🍷

4. ALWAYS fly the first flight in the morning so you have all day to be rebooked if the s**t hits the fan. Yes, that means it might be a 3:00 alarm, but morning flights don't cancel nearly as often.⏰

5. This is not unique to this year, but keep in mind summer is thunderstorm season. A single storm can shut down a whole airport. We can't fly through them. Storms usually build as the day gets later. Book early flights! ⛈

6. Schedule long layovers - Your 1 hour layover is NOT enough anymore. 30 minutes, not a chance. 3 hours minimum. 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

7. What you see on the news is an understatement. We are short staffed and overworked. Not just pilots and flight attendants, but also ground crews. Without ground crews there is no one to park the planes, drive jetways, get your bags on/off planes, or scan boarding passes. This causes many delays that snowball throughout the day. Sometimes HOURS.(Another reason morning flights are best!) 👀

8. When flight crews get delayed we time out. We can NOT fly longer than 16 hours. Its illegal. So it doesn't matter if you have a wedding to get to, when we are done we are done. The way things are now, there are no back up crews, so when this happens your flight cancels. (Now you are starting to see why those morning flights are best!) 😴

9. Avoid connecting in Newark (Or any New York airport for that matter). It is literal hell. You have a 50/50 chance your flight will cancel or missing your connection. They have been cancelling flights at their starting points just to keep the planes out, because there just aren't enough people to manage the planes, so the gates stay full. Also the restaurants are expensive, it is not a great place to be stuck. 💩

10. Be nice. As stated above, we are overworked and tired. We will not help you if you are mean. No one cares that you are going to miss your cruise if you are an as***le. So even if we can help, we will save our help for someone nice. Tensions are high. Our patience is gone. If you make us mad - you will not be flying on our planes. We will leave you behind without a second thought, and laugh about you later. 🥰

11. Being drunk on an airplane is a federal offense, so don't overdo it. If you drink too much at the bar waiting for your delayed flight you risk not being allowed to fly at all. We are too tired to deal with your drunk ass when we have legitimate issues to deal with. 🍻

12. Get trip insurance if you have a lot of money invested. I hate the whole idea of this, but I also hate the idea of losing money. Example: I was working a flight yesterday that waited over an hour for a gate. A family of 8 missed their flight to Rome. The only flight of the day. They were going to a cruise which they would now miss. They were all crying, there was nothing I could do. (Also a reason to fly a day early!) 🛳

13. Flights are FULL. If you buy the cheap seats you will not be able to sit with your family. It says so when you purchase your ticket!! Flight Attendants aren't there to rearrange the whole plane just so you can sit with your family because you tried to save $100 on a third party website. 💸

14. Speaking of third party websites and saving money..... Like I said flights are FULL. If a flight is oversold, and no one volunteers to give up their seats, who do you think is the first to be bumped? You guessed it, the family that saved a few $$ by using sites like Expedia, Kayak, Hotwire etc. 🤷‍♀️

15. Pack smart. Don't be "That guy" Don't hold up boarding because you have your extenders open till they are busting and you can't figure out how to make it fit in the overhead. (Passengers are stressed too, they can be aggressive when boarding a delayed flight) 🛍

16. Take showers, brush your teeth, leave the perfume off, don't eat stinky food (caesar salad and tuna fish I'm talking to you!), and bring headphones. Trust me. These things sound basic, but add to stress on crowded planes. If you are stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours after a 4 hour flight, you will thank me for this. 💜

17. Bring a sweater if you tend to be cold. So tired of half naked girls asking me to turn the heat up. NO. Wear clothes!! Side note: If you dress like this and ask for heat, there's a chance I will turn the AC up. 🥶

18. Thats not water on the bathroom floor. For the love of God wear shoes to the bathroom!!! 🤮

19. Don't tell a Flight Attendant they look tired. We are and we know. You may cause us to ugly cry right there in galley. 😭

20. Happy Travels!
