Escape More, Book Your Trip with Five Star Travel
Domestic airfares were deregulated in 1978. Since deregulation, airlines can publish pretty much any fares they want, and change them at whim. That's why fares are not guaranteed until the ticket is paid and issued.
Surveys by journalists and consumer organizations have consistently found that good travel agents can use their expertise in finding the best fares and vacation values to save most travelers time and money.
As a consumer advocate, travel agent can offer advice and alternatives, resolve problems and provide after-sale service. "Without travel agents, you are on your own." Travel agency is the most cost efficient distribution system for providers of travel products such as airlines, tour companies and cruise lines.
