Flights are probably one of the most personal aspect of travel. Most of you will have your airline preferences, loyalty programs, class of service and even preferred seating. Probably you will be surprised to hear a travel agency say this, but we really do not like to book them!
If we book your flights and something arises during your travel, the airline may refuse to work with you because technically they would need to be dealing with us, as your agents. You can imagine the issues that could arise from this, so please, book your own flights!
How, you ask? Well, firstly, we are of course glad to answer any questions that may arise along the way, but we recommend you use Google Flights. This website lists all the flights, not just the ones who pay them referral fees. And once you have decided upon your perfect routing, you will be given the option to book directly on the airline’s website. What could be better?
What could actually be better is when we are working with you for a cruise or a tour. The larger cruise and tour companies have contracts with the airlines and an Air Department, whose job it is to ensure that you are well taken care of during every aspect of your trip. In this case, it makes good sense to allow us to include the flights in your itinerary, because everything is packaged together with one company to contact should any changes be needed.
These companies in this category include most of the major cruise lines as well as most of our tour companies, including Brendan Vacations, Trafalgar, Globus and others.
This also includes Delta Vacations, a “secret weapon” we now almost always call upon during our trip planning. Delta Vacations can consolidate your hotels, rental cars and even some activities along with discounted airfare. Almost every trip we have checked has resulted in savings. They also add some Frequent Flyer goodies as an extra perk and only require an up front booking fee (plus insurance, if purchased) with the balance being due a month prior to departure.
So don’t pass up an opportunity to save! Ask us to check with Delta Vacations whenever you are flying and need 1) either 5 rental car nights or 2 hotel nights domestically, or 2) at least 3 hotel nights if traveling in Europe.
Need transportation after your flight? Our partner, Project Expedition, provides quick and easy airport transfers to almost any airport, cruise port, or hotel worldwide.
