Travel Agents Can Score You Hotel Upgrades, Better Flights, and Free Beer — and They're Surprisingly Inexpensive - Money
Confession: I’ve got wanderlust. I feel like every single person on my Instagram feed is winding down the summer in an exotic locale, and I’m so jealous I refuse to give even a halfhearted “like.” I can’t stop daydreaming about planning a leaf-peeping trip to Maine or a bucket-list sojourn to Italy. I’d even settle for spending a gameday at my alma mater in Gainesville, Florida. (Go Gators!)
While fantasizing about these hypothetical vacations, I’ve been reading about travel agents. I’ve always assumed they’re only for rich people — that the services are way too expensive for my budget, so I shouldn’t even bother — but now I’m reconsidering. Can someone like me, who’s not rich and relies largely on Google Flights to plan trips, use a travel agent?
