Why you should use a travel agent

      The first thing I learnt is that Travel agents usually don’t charge customers for their services! Their payment actually comes from commissions through the hotels and wholesalers, meaning that they can simply tap into a free service. So using a travel agent would not necessarily be more expensive than booking by yourself online (Book online at FrankFerd Travels) We are experts, well-versed in finding the best deals. Having a top travel agent can also make you an instant VIP.

Here are some reasons as to why you should use a travel agent;

Not Sure Of Where You Want to Go

If you’re booking a getaway for either yourself or you and some friends, or you and your family, but you still don't have a destination or you have never been there before, you can find an experienced travel agent/consultant to help you look for what you want, they usually have better rates than what discount sites are offering and even on a more certain ground. Also, if you start working with the same agent over and over again, they become familiar with you and your needs, which makes it easier for them to help you. Check out some of the best places you can travel to in summer

Travel agents won't make mistakes and can solve your problems

Travel agents are good in using their booking systems to organize your trip, for example; you miss your flight or you want your date or itinerary changed, it is often tedious and sometimes you will be asked to pay outrageous amount. This situation is why you should use a travel agent, as they are recognized by airlines and as such will be able to easily cancel or change your itinerary and get a refund for you, sometimes at minimal cost or no cost at all. This is enough for you to place your dream holiday in the hands of  the staffs of Frankferd Travels and tours. Visit and like our Facebook Fan Page for more updates.

Travel agents have more experience

Whether you're looking for a tropical getaway or a cultural experience, chances are your travel agent have been there or has networks of reliable vendors in there, therefore getting their clients VIP treatment and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They may also suggest properties that they have stayed at previously as well as activities they did when they where there.

Personal Connections and Clout

Travel agents usually know (GMs and executives at top hotels, airlines, chefs, cruise lines, adventure travel outfitters, etc) personally. It is very rare for luxury hotels or the most desirable restaurants to truly be sold out; they usually have rooms/tables available in case a VIP makes a last minute visit. But when your travel agent calls the GM who he or she has known for 20 years – and sends a lot of business to, he or she will be able to get the coveted and hidden room inventory, rather than you calling-in yourself and still not get what you want. They can even help you with room upgrades, special amenities, bottles of champagne on arrival, the GM greeting you personally, all these at no extra cost to you. They also have the ability to 'hold in' seats with many airlines for a number of days - meaning that they can reserve your seat, lock in an airfare and allow you time to decide. These are reasons as to why you should use a travel agent.

Trip planning

Travel agents are experts in their field; therefore they will be able to effortlessly organize your travel plans without a hitch. They are one click away from every flight permutation, day tour or accommodation option in a given city as they are given access to booking engines for many suppliers and your agent can always book transportation to and from the airport for you sometimes at no extra cost. If you are planning complicated itineraries with multiple stops, complex airline routing, or taking any trip using guides/drivers or local experts, best places to eat and best things to see and do, these are reasons why you should use a travel agent. In fact, if you don’t use a travel agent you are likely to make a costly mistake, no matter how much you think you know.
