With online services such as Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz available to the everyday traveler why is a travel agent still needed to make my reservations?

In a perfect world, these programs work well. But, when is the last time you had to make changes to a reservation made by such services? Who do you call? Where do you start? One call to your travel agent still does it all including additional changes for your rent car and lodging. RELAX! You are in the care of a professional travel agent that truly appreciates being of service to you. 

And, when flights are cancelled due to weather, equipment or extraordinary events we are as close as a phone call away. While the rest of the population is standing in long lines just to re-schedule or secure alternate flights you can work out all of the details with your travel agent and head straight to the gate.

Have you ever lost the value of a ticket due to rescheduling or cancellation? Not only do we keep score for you on those occassions but, in many cases, we are knowledgeable enough to re-utiliuze it for future travel. In today's ticketless society who keeps track? We do. Every one of your travel dollars count here. We know what the carriers would rather you did not know.

Access, print or email your itinerary to your associates or clients that you will be visiting. 
 

Do We Have the Low Internet Fares? YOU BET!

We can locate, access and ticket most of these type fares just as we would any of the published fares listed throughout our reservations system. Many of these fares offer optimal savings over published fares. Of course, these type fares are usually more restrictive and, as such, you will receive an objective presentation from your travel counselor as to whether, or not, this type of fare truly fits your needs. The carriers have their own agenda. Our primary concern is to look out for you.
 

Our THOR Worldwide Negotiated Hotel Rates are second to none...

This program alone will save you substantial dollars from your trip budget. These are bona fide discounts provided by the world leader of corporate hotel discounting. Savings of anywhere from 10% to 50% can be obtained with each and every stay when you make your lodging arrangements through us. Select your property with confidence using THOR, the largest and best hotel consolidator in the world. These rates are also auto-loaded in our Sabre Connected automated reservation program.
