If All Your Friends Jumped Off A Cliff
Would You? Or Yes, You Can Do It On The Internet, But Why Would You? |
Remember when you were a kid and you told your mom you did it because all your friends did it, so, you did to. And your mom would say those familiar words " If all your friends jumped off a cliff......".
This brings us to the point of this article. Just because other people do it, and you can do it to, does not mean you should.
I am the first person to shout out the values of the net. You can do almost anything on it. I am also one of the cheapest, penny pinching etc.... individuals you will ever meet. If there is a way to save a buck on something I know how. But even in my penny pinching ways I just cant understand one thing.
Why would anyone buy airline tickets online when they can use a Travel Agent?
I just dont get it. Even if you can find the absolute best deal in the world online in only five minutes why do it! If you know a good Travel Agent call them.
- Instead of five minutes online you only need a minute or two with the Travel Agent.
- If you can find the worlds best deal online, any good travel agent will be able to find it.
- If things go wrong, the Travel Agent is on the "hook". And is there to help you.
- The Travel Agent may find you an even better deal just by making very small changes in your travel plans.
- If there are travel advisories in effect or other things you should know about, a Travel Agent can advise you.
- The Travel Agent can also get you the rental car and your hotel room, saving you more time.
- The Travel Agent can help you get special trip insurance.
- The Travel Agent can help you with any "special" needs you may have.
- The Travel Agents services are free or very low cost $10.00 to $20.00.
Like I said, I just dont get it. Even for a fee of $20.00 it is worth your time, effort, etc... to just use the Travel Agent.
That is unless you just dont even have the $20.00. and in that case you should be looking for a job, not taking a trip!
