Can anyone recommend a travel agent?

I live in North Bellmore. I need a travel agent. I usually book online so I have never used one before. How does it work? Do you pay them? How Much? Are they worth it? Can you get better deals online?

I really want to use one so I get a good deal with air and hotel. Any thoughts?

I used one once. She was terrific. They didn't charge anything, they get paid from resorts, airlines etc. I used Austen Travel and her name was Jennifer Roschetta. 631-673-6333. Give her a call.

oh okay.. cuz I just called this one lady and stupidly told her I was totally clueless as to how travel agents worked and what they cost and she told me she would call me back with a quote and we would discuss that later??? Oh well... I may have just dug myself a hole...
I will try your person though.. Thanks

As far as I know, you shouldn't be getting charged so don't go with them if they try! This woman I dealt with was great.

We're using Tropical Travelers and her name is Jennifer. 800-479-0949. website is www.tropicaltravelers.com

Oh, if you have AAA, try them. But I think someone told me that they charge a $25 service fee. I'm not sure though.

Oh My god.. I just called on that Somethingblu recommended... I just got the best quote from her... 2930$ for seven nights eight days at the El Dorado Royale in Rivera Maya.... SO PSYCHED!!! We but a 4 day hold on it so FH doesn't think I planned it without him... We are looking at the ocean front junior suite but the casita is 3700$ not too bad but a little more than we wanted to spend.
