Online Travel Companies

I hear about it from past travel clients, I hear it from new clients that swear they will not book another flight or package online, even if their life depended on it! I get asked on many occasions by potential clients why they should book through a travel agent versus booking their travel online. A Man Walked In to My Wife's Travel Office At The Airport, Claiming He Missed His Flight!

My wife asked him where he booked his flight, and he said online through one of those travel websites.

When Maria proceeded to take a look at the print out copy of his flight itinerary, she quickly asked him, what time did you check in for his flight? This client assumed it was 1:00 pm and proceeded to take his flight.

You see, at one time he may have booked all his flights and vacations through a travel agent, and when he did, the travel agent took the liberty to explain all the rules and conditions, and go over the Itinerary with him to make sure he fully understood what he booked.

When this gentleman booked his flight online through the travel website, he assumed that he was booking the 1pm flight. However, because he didn't understand military time, he booked the 1am flight.

Even if this guy was a veteran traveller and booked all his flights online, this could have been a simple oversight that he missed, but without a little bit of checking and consulting, this man was destine to pay the price.

He Paid The Price For Booking Online, Alright!

Maria asked this upset man if he called the online travel company, and he said he did not, and this is where he received more valuable advice that more than likely saved this man thousands of dollars.

The moral of this unfortunate story is that even though you think you're getting the best deal booking your travel online, if you don't fully understand the fine print, or may be slightly confused on the details listed on many of the online travel companies, we always recommend that you call or visit a travel professional to assist you.
