Sorry to piggyback your thread, but I also had a related question: what are the benefits to having a travel agent? Can they get you a better/best deal on flights/hotel/etc? I suppose they can also suggest or recommend certain places to go/see, but how does that compare with the "packages" that are put together (i.e. westjet vacations, etc.)? What if you're travelling to Europe or Asia -- better to use a travel agent? Or just book online?
