Southwest Airlines is shifting to assigned seats for the first time in its history, a change that will allow the low-fare carrier to charge a premium for some of the seats on its planes.

🚩 Red Flags to Watch Out for When Booking with a Travel Agent

Planning a trip can be exciting, but it's essential to ensure you're working with a reputable travel agent to make your journey smooth and hassle-free. Here are some red flags to be aware of when booking with a potentially bad travel agent:

🚩 Taking Cash Payments:

Be cautious if a travel agent insists on accepting only cash payments or sending money directly to them via cash app. Reputable agents offers multiple payment options, including credit cards and require your signature when making payments, to provide transparency and security for their clients.

🚩 Unbelievably Low Prices:

If the offered prices seem too good to be true, they probably are. Unscrupulous agents may lure customers with exceptionally low prices but fail to deliver on promised services or accommodations.

🚩 Limited or Vague Contact Information:

Ensure that the travel agent provides clear and accessible contact information. Lack of proper contact details may indicate a lack of professionalism or credibility.

🚩 Lack of Transparency:

A trustworthy travel agent should provide detailed information about the trip, including flight details, accommodation options, and any additional fees or charges. If an agent is vague or unwilling to answer your questions, it may be a red flag.

🚩 Poor Communication:

If the travel agent is unresponsive or takes an excessively long time to answer your queries, it may indicate a lack of professionalism and dedication to customer service.

🚩Poor Reviews or Lack of Reputation:

Before booking with a travel agent, check reviews and ratings from previous customers. Pay attention to any negative feedback or warnings about their services.

Remember, whether you book with our agency or another, the purpose is to make your vacation memorable and stress-free. Always do thorough research, read reviews, and trust your instincts when making your selection.

Happy travels!
