This is one of the most common questions.
Travel Advisors get paid commission by suppliers such as cruise lines, resorts, tour companies, car rental, entertainment tickets and airlines. This amount is built into the total package price. If you book on your own whether directly through the resort/airline or a booking agent such as Expedia, you are paying that amount to them. This is why there is no difference in price using an advisor or not. When you don't use a travel advisor, you are paying for a service that you are not receiving.
~Always obtain travel insurance.
~Insurance covers much more than just lost baggage. It also covers medical and other emergencies while traveling.
~Emergencies while traveling outside of The US can be extremely costly.
~If you are checking bags, be sure to pack at least 2 days worth of clothing/other needs in your carry on or personal item - just in case your luggage gets lost/ separated from you.
TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR AIRPORT EXPERIENCE EASIER
~ Check in online: most airlines allow you to check in online up to 24 hours before your flight.
~Arrive early: plan to arrive at the airport 1 hour before a domestic flight and 2 hours before an international flight. If you're checking luggage, add 30 minutes to your arrival time.
~Bring an empty water bottle: you can fill it after passing through security, which won't allow more than 100 ml of liquid.
-Consider traveling with a carry-on: this can save you time.
~Check your flight status: you can check the flight status online in real time to see if your flight is on time, delayed, or early.
~Pack snacks: you can bring your own snacks to keep your energy levels up, especially if you have a short layover or are traveling with children.
~Slip loose items into your bag: you can empty your pockets into your carry-on bag while waiting in line to avoid having to put loose items in a bin.
Research: use vendor contacts to find travel options that meet your needs with flights, hotels, tours etc.
Plan: create itineraries, tour packages, excursions and day trips that fit your budget
Book: make reservations for travel, hotels, rental cars and special events such as sporting events including tickets
Advise: offer guidance on local customs, attractions, required documents and cross-border entry requirements
Handle issues: assist you with travel problems before and during trip
