Best Online Travel Agencies

Booking.com is our top choice for making your trip arrangements

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Planning a trip can be easier through an online travel agency than if you handle each aspect of the planning separately. You can book hotels, air travel, rental cars, and more through a single site, and booking everything together sometimes results in discounts. By inputting a destination, a range of dates, and other preferences, you will see a list of options for each aspect of travel.

The best online travel agencies offer options from the largest number of airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and more. Look for sites that offer discounts for combining reservations for different aspects of your trip. For example, the best sites will have lower rates if you book both plane tickets and a hotel through their services. The best sites also provide reviews from customers who actually have booked through the service. These are our top picks.

Final Verdict

Frequently asked questions, methodology, best overall : booking.com.

 Booking.com

This industry leader offers one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms on the Internet.

Lots of options to choose from

Interface is easy to use

Numerous filters to customize your search

Tricky to tell whether changes/cancellations can be made with Booking.com or the vendor directly

Booking.com was founded in 1996 and has grown into an industry leader that stands out for being one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms out there. From one website, you can compare and book accommodations, flights (including one-way and multi-city flights), sightseeing activities, and even airport taxis. The website lists more than 28 million accommodation options, from hotels, hostels, and B&Bs to vacation homes and luxury resorts—you can browse more choices per destination on Booking.com than other online travel agencies. The website also performs well on cost and typically returns lower-than-average prices for flights and hotels. 

Booking.com's interface is also easy to use. On the home page, search for a hotel by entering your chosen destination and dates. Then, use the extensive list of filters—such as price range and distance from the city center—to narrow the results down and find the best fit. You can also search for a specific hotel, or seek inspiration by clicking through options grouped by destination or property type or by topic such as the country’s best Michelin-starred hotel restaurants or the top cities for vegan travelers. The flights, car rental, and other tabs are just as intuitive. 

Best Budget : Skyscanner

 Skyscanner

You can compare prices across airlines, hotels, and car rentals.

Simple interface

Option to toggle searches between specific dates or by monthly calendars

Search Everywhere button is great for spontaneous planners

Extra clicks are required to make a final purchase

Must read fine print for changes/cancellations—may need to deal directly with the vendor

Ads on the sidebar can be distracting

Find deals on airfare, hotels, and car rentals with an aggregator site like Skyscanner , which uses a metasearch engine to compare prices from all online travel agencies and the airline, hotel, or car rental company in question. Run searches with fixed dates, opt to compare airfare prices month to month, or click “Cheapest Month.” Searches also include options for nearby airports or non-stop flights only. With hotel searches, you can choose to select only from properties with free cancellation, a cleanliness rating of 4.5/5 or higher, or 3- or 4-starred hotels only. Car rental searches include an option to select “return car to different location.”

Once you’ve found the best rate, click on the link to be redirected to the third-party site to make your booking. Feeling spontaneous? The Search Everywhere button on the homepage offers a list of the cheapest flight deals for destinations both locally and across the world—just plug in your departure airport first.

Best Price Predictor : Hopper

The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting when flights and hotel rates will be cheapest.

Color-coded system makes it easy to determine cheapest days to buy

App is easy to use

Option to track flights and receive alerts when the best time to buy arises

Some have mentioned the app functions better as a research tool than a booking tool

Unclear whether Hopper will price match if you find a cheaper flight elsewhere

Hopper is a travel app available on iOS and Android that aims to help travelers save on airfare by usng historical data and their own algorithm to predict when flights will be cheapest. Just type in where and when you’d like to fly and Hopper will present you with a color-coded pricing calendar indicating how much tickets are likely to cost. (Green is the least expensive, then yellow, orange, and red for most expensive.) Hopper will also recommend you either buy now or wait, or you can choose to watch a trip and receive notifications on the best time to buy. In addition, the app has expanded to offer hotel and car rental price predictions, too.

Some newer features since the app’s inception in 2009 include an option to freeze a price for a limited time—for an extra fee—as well as exclusive app-only discounts. Hopper is free to download, and you can choose to book directly through the app, though some users mentioned they use Hopper as more of a research tool before booking directly with the airline or hotel. The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting flight rates up to a year ahead.

Most Innovative : Kiwi.com

This metasearch engine scours the web to piece together the ideal itinerary using planes, trains, buses, and more.

Creative itineraries get you where you need to go, especially if you’ve got a multi-stop trip

Kiwi Guarantee offers rebooking or cancellation protections

Nomad option appeals to travelers with a lot of flexibility

Creative itineraries mean you may not fly out of the same airport you flew into

Kiwi Guarantee has an additional fee

Charges all-in-one fee for booking flights, trains, buses (though you can always purchase a la carte)

Travelers planning multi-city destinations and seeking a bargain, as well as those looking to take planes, trains, and automobiles to get there, might consider Kiwi . Kiwi is a metasearch engine that scours and pieces together itineraries from various airlines (even if they don’t have a codeshare agreement), considers multiple airports (even if your arrival airport is different from departure), and offers booking options, whether you’re looking at very specific dates or more general ones (up to 60 nights).

Some will find the ability to make multiple bookings for a particular trip more convenient than going at it manually several different times, though note that you must opt into the Kiwi Guarantee program to access rebooking and refund protections should your reservation change or be canceled. Kiwi’s Nomad option allows you to plug in a bunch of destinations you’d like to visit and the length of your intended stay, and the website will churn out the most affordable itineraries for review.

Best for Eco-Conscious : Kind Traveler

A give-and-get business model means booking accommodations with exclusive perks, a donation to environmental organizations, and more.

All participating hotels include a local give-back component

Exclusive savings and perks

Participating hotels are located in some of the most beautiful places in the world

Inventory is much smaller compared to other booking platforms

Some of the amenities mentioned are based on availability only

In 2022, Kind Traveler (an online trave agency focused on hotel bookings) announced an increase in environmentally and socially conscious hotels, charity donations, voluntourism opportunities, and additional perks like waived resort fees or a welcome amenity.

Unlock exclusive hotel rates and perks from participating Kind Traveler hotels with a minimum $10/night minimum donation to a local charity. For example, stay at the Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives and receive up to $33 off the nightly rate and perks such as a food and beverage credit and an Earth Lab or Alchemy Bar workshop when you make a donation to Manta Trust. The organization funds coastal research to protect the island nation’s large yet fragile population of reef mantas.

Select from more than 140 participating hotels from the Hawaiian Islands to Bozeman, Montana, and the Maldives. Charities include wildlife, human rights, arts, education, and environmental preservation organizations.

Best for Social Impact : I Like Local

Choose from a host of travel experiences with the peace of mind that 100 percent of the cost goes directly to local partners.

Social impact mission woven into organization’s business model

Immersive experiences led by local guides

Range of experiences offered

May not be best fit for those seeking upscale, luxury experiences and stays

Can’t sort experiences by a list of countries (though an interactive map is available)

No experiences outside of Africa and Asia

For an online travel agency with a booking platform designed to route dollars spent directly to the communities travelers intend to visit, consider I Like Local . Visit the website to browse a host of travel experiences in countries including Indonesia, Kenya, and Cambodia. Experiences include homestays and farmstays as well as wellness and culturally oriented experiences—from cooking and cycling tours to weaving classes.

To search for an experience, select from drop-down items like travel dates and experience categories, or view a global map and click on a country to view experiences that way.

The platform got its start in 2014 and has grown to 4,000 local hosts across nearly 20 countries. As a social impact organization, 100 percent of each booking fee goes to local hosts. To date, 16,000 travelers have booked with I Like Local.

Best for Design-Forward Homestays : Plum Guide

Browse and book seriously vetted, design-forward vacation homes.

Highly curated inventory of vacation rentals across the world

Design-forward

Thorough vetting process

Does not publish guest reviews

Other platforms have homes available across more destinations

When it comes to booking a vacation home, serviced apartment, or condo, travelers are spoiled for choice. Plum Guide is an online travel agency that specializes in accommodations—though not just any home makes its directory. The company claims that each potential home listed on its site must jump through 150 hoops to be included, from internet speed and mattress and pillow quality to the showers’ water pressure and the home’s proximity to dining, shopping, and attractions.

Search by a featured collection on the website such as “ pet-friendly homes ” or “one-of-a-kind homes in Palm Springs.” Scroll to the bottom of its homepage to view its top destinations, as well as a list of all destinations where Plum Guide homes are available, including Barbados, Mexico, Portugal, Switzerland, the U.S., and Turkey. Note: From the top right-hand corner of the site, use the dropdown menu to select currency of choice.

As long as you know what you value most out of your travel experience—such as affordability, social impact, or luxe accommodations—there’s an online travel agency to help plan your next trip. Be sure to read the fine print, as some agencies are third-party websites and not direct vendors. If you're not sure where to start, Booking.com is your best bet for a smooth user experience and hard-to-beat offers on flights, hotels, and other travel arrangements.

What Is the Biggest Travel Agency?

Our choice for best overall, Booking.com, is known as an industry leader with listings for all major hotels, airlines, car rental companies, and more. It boasts more choices for accommodations per destination than any other site, and we found its interface to be user-friendly.

Are Online Travel Agencies Worth It?

This depends on your needs and priorities. The best online travel agencies certainly can save time by booking everything all at once. However, if you're someone who is good at haggling and enjoys the details of planning a trip, you might be able to find better deals by reaching out to hotels or other destinations and speaking to someone personally.

Is It Cheaper to Book Online Than With a Travel Agent?

Not always. A travel agent you know and trust should have the experience and connections to find deals that can match or surpass what you'll find online. Additionally, if something goes wrong, travel agents provide you with an actual person you can use as an advocate to correct the problem . But if you don't have access to a good travel agent, online sites still provide plenty of ways to streamline planning and save money .

We considered dozens of online travel agencies and narrowed down the options based on user experience, volume and quality of inventory, unique offerings and specials, and customer reviews. We also assessed travel companies’ environmentally and socially conscious policies.

KAYAK Trips creates a travel itinerary for you that will give you flight status alerts, can be shared with friends and more. Simply forward your booking confirmations to [email protected] or use the KAYAK app and sync your email account to keep all your travel plans organized in one app, even if you didn’t book with KAYAK. You can share your holiday plans with friends and family and also check out your travel stats for past vacations, like how far you’ve traveled, your most popular cities and how many times you’ve traveled around the world.

Once you’ve saved your search, our data will determine how the price will rise or fluctuate over the coming days. You’ll then get a push notification letting you know when’s the perfect time to book.

Turn it into a dream job. We'll show you the ropes and make you look great. Work from anywhere, flexible or full-time — the best gig you didn't know existed.

Still have questions? We got you.

What is a travel agency.

A travel agency supports a team of travel advisors who sell, curate and book travel. Travel advisors consult with clients on where to go, what to do and where to stay. In addition to planning and booking trips, advisors communicate with hotels and other partners (tour companies, cruises, etc.) to ensure each trip goes smoothly.

What is the difference between a travel advisor and a travel agent?

The terms travel agent and travel advisor are used interchangeably. The original term was ‘travel agent,’ but the industry has gone through a bit of a rebrand to showcase the breadth of work that a travel advisor does. We use both, but typically refer to our network of travel advisors simply as Fora Advisors.  

Fora Advisors (a.k.a. travel advisors / agents) work with clients to understand their travel needs and handle all the travel arrangements, from booking a hotel for a long weekend to planning a honeymoon to securing a room block for a corporate conference. 

What are the benefits of being a travel agent?

Working with a travel agent helps you level up your travel experience. A travel agent handles all the logistics — on-the-ground transfers, hotel and tour bookings, itinerary planning — so you can get the most out of your trip, without any of the stress. 

Plus, our Fora travel agents have insider access to over 5,000 preferred partnerships, meaning you get complimentary perks, priority upgrades and so much more at thousands of locations around the globe. We put serious time and airline mileage into visiting these properties in person so we can give you the up-to-date intel on your destination. We also maintain close relationships with hotel management so you’re treated like the VIP you are from the moment you arrive.

In other words, working with a travel agent unlocks a secret travel world you need to be a part of. But don’t just take our word for it… we have tons of 5-star reviews from happy clients.

Will I get perks & benefits when I work with a Fora Advisor?

Yes — big time. Our travel advisors have access to upgrades & perks at over 5,000 partners around the world. Plus, our partnerships with brands like Virtuoso , Four Seasons , Rosewood and beyond — as well as with smaller, independent boutique hotels — ensure you get treated like a VIP wherever you travel to next.

What types of travel can I book with Fora?

You name it, we book it: resort vacations, , city breaks, vacation home rentals, once-in-a-lifetime adventures, weekend escapes… We do it all.

Do Fora Advisors count as Disney travel agents? What about cruise travel agents?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive training on just about everything in the travel industry, so our advisors are well equipped to curate any client’s dream trip. (Read more about the benefits of booking with a cruise travel agent .)

I’m planning a group trip. Can Fora Advisors help?

Of course! The more the merrier. Whether you’re organizing a family reunion, , bachelorette party or company-wide retreat, we’re happy to help. Just get in touch with your Fora Advisor to begin the process.

How do I make the most of my experience when planning a trip with Fora?

Tell us everything. Let us know if you love golf, must have access to a kids’ club or have a soft spot for off-the-beaten-path travel . Serious allergies or dietary restrictions are also very helpful information to share. That way, we’ll only show you options that fit your wants and needs. We also love to hear about your favorite hotels and trips you’ve enjoyed in the past, because that clues us in to your travel style.

If you’ve never worked with a travel advisor before, get our guide on what to expect when booking with a travel agent .

Wait, I kind of want to be a Fora Advisor myself. How can I join?

We love to hear it! We have a guide on how to become a travel agent . Then, when you’re interested in transforming your passion for travel into a meaningful career, apply to become a Fora Advisor today .

How To Choose A Travel Agency

Published: November 29, 2023

Modified: December 28, 2023

by Valerie Renfrow

• Plan Your Trip

Introduction

Planning a trip can be both exciting and overwhelming. With so many destinations to choose from, flights to book, and accommodations to arrange, it can be a time-consuming and daunting task. This is where a travel agency can be your saving grace. A travel agency can help simplify the planning process, offer expert advice, and ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel experience.

However, with numerous travel agencies to choose from, it is essential to find one that best aligns with your needs and preferences. This article will guide you through the process of choosing a travel agency, from researching and evaluating options to considering location and reputation.

Before diving into the details of selecting a travel agency, it is important to have a clear understanding of your travel requirements. Consider factors such as your budget, preferred travel dates, destination, and any specific activities or accommodations you desire. This will help you make a more informed decision when evaluating travel agencies.

So, let’s embark on this journey of finding the perfect travel agency to make your dream vacation a reality!

Researching Travel Agencies

When it comes to choosing a travel agency, conducting thorough research is crucial. With the advent of technology, it has become easier to access information and reviews about different travel agencies. Here are a few steps to help you in your research:

• Start by seeking recommendations from family, friends, and colleagues who have used travel agencies in the past. Their experiences and insights can be invaluable in guiding your decision.
• Utilize online travel forums and review websites to gather information and read reviews about various travel agencies. Pay attention to both positive and negative reviews, and look for common themes or recurring issues.
• Visit the websites of multiple travel agencies to get a sense of their expertise and the types of services they offer. Look for a well-designed website that is easy to navigate and provides comprehensive information about their destinations, packages, and contact details.
• Check if the travel agencies are affiliated with reputable industry organizations, such as the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) or International Air Transport Association (IATA). These affiliations can provide assurance of their professionalism and adherence to industry standards.
• Consider the experience and expertise of the travel agencies. Look for agencies that have been operating for a significant period and have a solid track record in organizing trips to your desired destination. Experienced agencies are likely to have established relationships with airlines, hotels, and local tour operators, enhancing the quality of your travel experience.

By conducting thorough research, you can narrow down your options and create a shortlist of potential travel agencies. This will lay the foundation for evaluating and making your final decision, ensuring you choose an agency that meets your specific travel needs and expectations.

Evaluating Travel Agency Services

Once you have your shortlist of potential travel agencies, the next step is to evaluate the services they offer. Consider the following factors to assess the quality and suitability of their services:

• Range of Services: Review the types of travel services provided by each agency. Do they specialize in specific destinations or types of trips? Look for agencies that offer a diverse range of services, including flights, accommodations, transportation, and activities.
• Customization Options: Determine if the agency offers customizable itineraries based on your preferences and needs. A good travel agency should be able to tailor the travel experience to suit your interests and requirements.
• Expertise and Knowledge: Assess the knowledge and expertise of the travel agents. Do they have first-hand experience of the destinations they promote? Do they provide relevant and up-to-date information about the attractions, local customs, and important travel tips?
• Customer Support: Consider the level of customer support provided by the agency. Are they responsive to inquiries and concerns? Do they have a dedicated customer service team available during your trip in case of emergencies or last-minute changes?
• Additional Services: Look for any additional services offered by the agency, such as travel insurance, visa assistance, or 24/7 emergency support. These supplementary services can add value and peace of mind to your travel experience.

It is also worth noting the agency’s communication style and responsiveness. A good travel agency should communicate clearly and promptly, keeping you informed throughout the planning and booking process.

By carefully evaluating the services offered by each travel agency, you can determine which ones align with your travel preferences and priorities. This will ensure that you choose an agency that can cater to your specific needs and provide a seamless travel experience.

Considering Location and Accessibility

The location of a travel agency may not initially seem like a crucial factor, but it can significantly impact your overall experience. Here are some points to consider when evaluating the location and accessibility of a travel agency:

• Physical Location: Determine whether the travel agency has a physical office that you can visit. Having a physical presence can indicate that the agency is established and trustworthy. It also allows for face-to-face meetings if necessary.
• Proximity: Consider the proximity of the travel agency’s location to your home or workplace. Choosing an agency that is conveniently located can save you time and effort when dropping off documents, discussing travel details, or picking up travel materials.
• Accessibility: Assess the accessibility of the travel agency, both in terms of physical accessibility (is it located in a wheelchair-accessible building?) and communication accessibility (do they offer options for communication such as phone, email, or online chat?). A travel agency that is easily accessible will ensure a smoother and more efficient process for you.
• Local Connections: If you are planning a trip to a specific destination, consider whether the travel agency has local connections or partnerships in that area. Local expertise and connections can provide valuable insights, assistance, and support during your trip.

Furthermore, in today’s digital age, the location of a travel agency is not a primary determining factor. Many agencies operate entirely online, allowing you to access their services from anywhere in the world. Virtual meetings and communication via email or video calls can bridge the gap and provide a convenient and accessible experience.

Ultimately, the choice between a physical location or online agency depends on your personal preferences and convenience. Assess your needs and consider the factors mentioned above when deciding on the importance of location and accessibility in your selection process.

Examining Travel Agency Reputation

The reputation of a travel agency plays a crucial role in determining the quality of their services. You want to choose an agency that has a solid reputation and a track record of providing excellent customer experiences. Here are some steps to help you examine a travel agency’s reputation:

• Online Reviews: Read online reviews and testimonials from past clients. Look for positive feedback about their services, responsiveness, professionalism, and overall satisfaction. Conversely, take note of any negative reviews that highlight consistent issues or customer complaints.
• Experience and Longevity: Consider the agency’s experience and how long they have been in operation. A travel agency that has been around for several years is more likely to have established a strong reputation and gained valuable industry knowledge.
• Industry Awards and Recognition: Check if the travel agency has received any industry awards or recognition. These accolades are a testament to their commitment to excellence and can provide reassurance of their reputation.
• Referrals and Recommendations: Seek referrals and recommendations from trusted sources such as friends, family, or colleagues who have used the services of the travel agency. Hearing about positive experiences firsthand can give you confidence in their reputation.
• Social Media Presence: Evaluate the travel agency’s presence on social media platforms. Active engagement, positive interactions, and a substantial following can indicate a reputable and trusted agency that values customer satisfaction.

It’s important to note that no travel agency will have a flawless reputation as there will always be a few negative reviews. However, pay attention to the overall sentiment and patterns in feedback to get a sense of the agency’s reputation.

By examining the reputation of a travel agency, you can gain insights into their reliability, credibility, and the level of customer satisfaction they provide. This will help you make an informed decision and choose a reputable agency that delivers on their promises.

Comparing Prices and Packages

One crucial aspect of choosing a travel agency is comparing the prices and packages they offer. Here are some factors to consider when comparing prices and packages:

• Price Transparency: Look for a travel agency that provides transparent pricing. Ensure they clearly outline what is included in the package and if there are any hidden costs or additional fees. Read the fine print and ask questions to avoid any surprises later.
• Package Inclusions: Assess the inclusions of each package. Compare what is offered in terms of flights, accommodations, activities, transportation, meals, and any additional services. Make sure the package aligns with your preferences and budget.
• Flexibility: Consider the flexibility offered by the travel agency in terms of customizing packages. Can they accommodate specific requests or preferences? The ability to tailor the package to suit your needs can enhance your overall travel experience.
• Value for Money: It’s not just about the price but what you get for the price. Consider the overall value for money that each agency provides. Compare the quality of accommodations, transportation options, and included activities to ensure you are getting the best deal.
• Special Promotions or Discounts: Check if the travel agency offers any special promotions, discounts, or loyalty programs. These can significantly reduce the overall cost of your trip.

Remember that the cheapest price may not always be the best option. Consider the overall quality of the services, the reliability of the agency, and the inclusions of the package when comparing prices.

It’s also worth mentioning a potential tradeoff between budget and quality. While it’s important to find affordable options, excessively low prices may indicate compromises in terms of service quality or reliability. Strike a balance between budget and value to ensure the best possible travel experience.

By carefully comparing the prices and packages offered by different travel agencies, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your budget and provides the best value for your money.

Assessing Customer Reviews and Feedback

Customer reviews and feedback provide valuable insights into the experiences of past travelers with a particular travel agency. Assessing these reviews can help you gauge the level of customer satisfaction and make an informed decision. Here’s how to assess customer reviews and feedback effectively:

• Read Multiple Reviews: Look for a variety of reviews from different sources. Read reviews on travel agency websites, review platforms, social media, and online forums. Consider both positive and negative reviews to get a balanced perspective.
• Look for Consistent Feedback: Pay attention to common themes or recurring comments in the reviews. Are there consistent positive remarks about prompt customer service, knowledgeable agents, or smooth travel experiences? Conversely, are there consistent complaints about issues such as poor communication or unexpected fees?
• Consider the Context: Understand that not all negative reviews are the fault of the travel agency. Some issues may be beyond their control, such as weather delays, airline cancellations, or hotel maintenance problems. Evaluate the context and discern if the complaints are specific to the agency’s service or due to external factors.
• Response to Reviews: Observe how the travel agency responds to both positive and negative reviews. A proactive and professional response to negative feedback shows that they value customer satisfaction and are willing to address any concerns.
• Referral Programs: If possible, seek direct feedback from friends, family, or acquaintances who have used the services of the travel agency. Personal recommendations can provide valuable insights and help you make a more informed decision.

Keep in mind that everyone’s travel experience is unique, and reviews are subjective. Use customer reviews as a guide rather than the sole determining factor in your decision-making process.

By assessing customer reviews and feedback, you can gain a better understanding of the quality of service provided by the travel agency. Use these insights to make an informed decision and choose an agency that prioritizes customer satisfaction.

Checking for Accreditation and Certifications

Accreditation and certifications are indicators of a travel agency’s professionalism, adherence to industry standards, and commitment to delivering quality services. When evaluating travel agencies, be sure to check for the following:

• Industry Memberships: Look for travel agencies that are members of reputable industry organizations such as the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), International Air Transport Association (IATA), or Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Membership in these organizations demonstrates that the agency has met certain standards and undergone vetting processes.
• Accreditations: Check if the travel agency is accredited by recognized bodies such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB). This accreditation signifies that the agency operates with integrity and meets the standards set forth by the BBB.
• Government Certifications: In some countries, travel agencies must obtain government certifications or licenses to operate legally. These certifications ensure that the agency follows regulations and provides reliable services. Verify if the travel agency holds the necessary government certifications for your region.
• Specialized Certifications: Consider if the travel agency holds any specialized certifications relevant to the type of travel you are planning. For example, if you are booking an adventure or eco-tourism trip, look for certifications such as Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) or Sustainable Travel International (STI).
• Supplier Partnerships: Assess if the travel agency has established partnerships with reputable suppliers such as airlines, hotels, and tour operators. These partnerships can be a testament to the agency’s reliability and the quality of their connections in the travel industry.

Checking for accreditation and certifications helps ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate and trustworthy travel agency. It provides an added layer of confidence in their expertise and ability to deliver a high-quality travel experience.

Remember, however, that while accreditation and certifications are important, they should not be the sole factor in your decision-making process. Consider them along with other aspects such as customer reviews, services offered, and pricing when choosing the right travel agency for your needs.

Reviewing Terms and Conditions

Before finalizing your decision and booking with a travel agency, it is essential to review their terms and conditions. The terms and conditions outline the contractual agreement between you and the agency. It is crucial to thoroughly understand these terms to avoid any misunderstandings or surprises during your travel experience. Here’s what to look for when reviewing the terms and conditions:

• Payment and Cancellation Policies: Understand the agency’s policies regarding payment methods, deposit requirements, and cancellation fees. Ensure you are comfortable with the payment schedule and cancellation terms in case unforeseen circumstances arise.
• Refund and Change Policies: Familiarize yourself with the agency’s policies regarding refunds and changes to your travel plans. Understand if there are any penalties or restrictions associated with modifying your itinerary or seeking a refund.
• Travel Insurance Requirements: Determine if the agency requires you to purchase travel insurance and what the coverage entails. Even if travel insurance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to protect yourself against unforeseen events or emergencies.
• Responsibilities and Liability: Review the agency’s responsibilities and liabilities concerning issues such as flight delays, accommodation changes, or tour cancellations. Understand the extent of their liability and what recourse is available to you in case of problems.
• Documentation and Visa Requirements: Ensure that the terms and conditions specify the necessary documentation and visa requirements for your trip. Clarify who is responsible for obtaining and verifying these documents, such as passports, visas, or travel permits.
• Dispute Resolution: Take note of the agency’s dispute resolution process in case any conflicts or issues arise during your travel experience. It is helpful to know the steps to follow and the avenues available for resolving disputes.

Reading and understanding the terms and conditions is crucial to protect yourself and to set realistic expectations. If any aspects of the terms and conditions are unclear, be sure to ask the travel agency for clarification before making your final decision.

By reviewing the terms and conditions, you can ensure that you are comfortable with the agency’s policies and procedures, mitigating the risk of any unpleasant surprises or misunderstandings throughout your travel journey.

Contacting and Communicating with Travel Agencies

Effective communication with a travel agency is crucial for a smooth planning process and a successful trip. Here are some tips for contacting and communicating with travel agencies:

• Preferred Communication Channels: Determine the communication channels the travel agency prefers, such as phone, email, or online chat. Use the contact method specified by the agency for smooth and timely communication.
• Clear Communication: When reaching out to the agency, clearly articulate your travel needs, including your preferred destination, travel dates, budget, and any specific requirements. Clear communication will help the travel agent better understand your expectations and provide more accurate recommendations.
• Response Time: Observe how promptly the travel agency responds to your inquiries. A timely response is an indicator of their professionalism and commitment to customer service. If the agency takes a long time to reply or does not respond at all, it may be a red flag indicating potential communication or customer service issues.
• Ask Questions: Do not hesitate to ask questions and seek clarification on any concerns or uncertainties. A reliable travel agency will be patient and informative in addressing your queries, ensuring that you are well-informed and confident about booking with them.
• Flexibility: Assess the agency’s flexibility in accommodating your requests or making changes to your itinerary. A good travel agency will work with you to create a customized travel plan that meets your needs and preferences.
• Document Everything: Keep a record of your communications with the travel agency, including emails, chat transcripts, and any agreements or promises made. This documentation can be useful for reference and dispute resolution, if necessary.

Remember, communication is a two-way process, and being an active and engaged participant will help you establish a good working relationship with the travel agency. Maintain open and respectful communication throughout the planning process to ensure a seamless experience.

When you have multiple inquiries or need further discussions, consider scheduling a phone call or video meeting with the travel agency. Direct communication can often expedite the process and help address complex travel arrangements more easily.

By effectively contacting and communicating with the travel agency, you can ensure that you receive the necessary information, have your questions answered, and feel confident about the services being provided. Good communication paves the way for a successful and enjoyable travel experience.

Making Your Final Decision

After conducting thorough research, evaluating services, considering various factors, and communicating with different travel agencies, it’s time to make your final decision. Here are some key steps to help you make an informed choice:

• Summarize Your Findings: Review the information you have gathered about each travel agency, including their services, reputation, customer reviews, pricing, and terms and conditions. Consider creating a summary or comparison chart to have a clear visual representation of each agency’s strengths and weaknesses.
• Weigh Your Priorities: Reflect on your own travel priorities and preferences. Consider factors such as budget, destination, level of customization, customer support, and flexibility. Determine which travel agency aligns most closely with your needs and priorities.
• Trust Your Instincts: Gut feelings can often guide us in making decisions. If you felt more comfortable, confident, and satisfied with the responses and interactions from a particular travel agency, trust your instincts and give it more weight in your decision-making process.
• Consider Value for Money: While budget is important, also consider the value for money you will receive from each travel agency. Evaluate the overall quality of their services, included amenities, level of personalized attention, and customer support to determine which agency offers the best value for your investment.
• Ask for Recommendations: Seek recommendations from trusted sources who have experience with the travel agencies you are considering. Personal referrals can provide valuable insights and firsthand experiences that can help you make a more informed decision.
• Take Your Time: Making a final decision is an important step, so don’t rush it. Take the time to consider all factors, review your options, and weigh the pros and cons. Be patient and give yourself the space to make the right choice for your travel needs.

Ultimately, the travel agency that best meets your needs and aligns with your travel preferences should be your final choice. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you.

Once you have made your decision, confidently proceed with booking your travel arrangements with the chosen agency. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have selected a travel agency that will help create unforgettable experiences and ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.

Choosing the right travel agency is an essential step in ensuring a memorable and stress-free travel experience. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can make an informed decision and select a travel agency that aligns with your needs, preferences, and budget.

Researching travel agencies, evaluating their services, considering location and reputation, comparing prices and packages, assessing customer reviews, checking for accreditation, and reviewing their terms and conditions are all crucial factors in the decision-making process. Additionally, effective communication with the travel agency and considering personal recommendations further contributes to making the right choice.

Remember that travel agencies differ in their expertise, offerings, and approach. There is no one “best” agency for everyone, as the ideal one depends on your specific requirements and travel goals. Consider your priorities, price points, flexibility, and the value for money offered by each agency to find the perfect fit.

Ultimately, a well-chosen travel agency can expertly handle the logistics, provide local knowledge and insider tips, and ensure a seamless travel experience from start to finish. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with entrusting your travel plans to a reputable and reliable agency.

So, whether you’re planning a relaxing beach vacation, an adventurous trek, or a cultural immersion in a new city, take the time to research, evaluate, and choose a travel agency that will turn your dream trip into a reality.

26 Best Trip-Planning Hacks Straight From Travel Agents

Posted: September 14, 2023 | Last updated: September 14, 2023

If you've ever had to plan a vacation, you know the responsibility—and pressure—of the task. There's browsing endlessly for affordable airfare (that seems to fluctuate every hour), finding a central hotel with all the amenities, and spending hours booking restaurant reservations. Thankfully, travel agents are here to help. Below, we've compiled their best trip-planning hacks, so your next getaway will be seamless.

RELATED: 8 Airport Security Secrets TSA Doesn't Want You to Know .

1 Look at the hotel's fine print.

Once you've found your dream hotel, be sure to read the fine print. From booking fees to daily hotel resort fees to cancellation fees, there are many hidden costs that can leave you paying more than you bargained for.

"These hidden hotel resort fees are designed to confuse consumers and distort the actual price," says Erika Richter , spokeswoman for the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA). "Sometimes they're called 'facility fees;' make sure you ask before you book."

2 Create a detailed itinerary.

Nothing is worse than arriving at your destination and feeling overwhelmed by all the things to do and places to see. So, James Ian , travel expert and founder of the online travel publications Travel Collecting and Parks Collecting , recommends making a detailed itinerary.

"When creating an itinerary, I always create a Google Doc that I can share with my travel companion(s). I create a table/ calendar with the dates of travel," he shares. "Then I research all the things to do… noting opening hours and days, travel times, locations, websites with links, etc."

"I then move these activities and places into the calendar. I cross reference locations so that I'm not jumping around the city or country, but instead am spending each day in the same area," he adds. "This has an additional advantage that I can access it on my phone during the trip if necessary."

Another way to figure out which stops make sense for which days is to pin the locations on Google Maps, suggests Kelsea O'Donnell , co-owner and chief travel planner of Out of Office Mindset . Then, you can see them all in one place to easily know distances.

3 But also leave yourself some wiggle room.

Itineraries are great, but there's only so much we can account for in advance, which is why you'll want to leave at least a little bit of room to readjust.

"As a Type-A person myself, I find that I always want to have everything planned out to the minute, but over the years I've learned that this just isn't the way to go with trip-planning," shares Brittany Mendez ,  travel expert  and chief marketing officer of FloridaPanhandle.com.

"You never know when something is going to happen that will throw a wrench in your plans—maybe a sudden storm will appear, you'll wake up with a migraine one morning, a location you'd planned on visiting is temporarily closed for a few hours, etc.," she points out. "And if you haven't allowed any wiggle-room in your plans, that will throw everything off."

4 Bring a spare outfit in your carry-on.

If you're checking luggage, be sure to pack a change of clothes or a versatile outfit in your carry-on (including undergarments and socks). "If your luggage gets lost and takes a while to get to you, you'll be so grateful that you've got a change of clothes ready to go," says travel agent Kalyn Franke .

5 Keep a pair of slippers in your carry-on.

Whether it's an amenity pair from a previous hotel stay or a cheap pair from the drugstore, Betsy Ball , co-founder of Euro Travel Coach , recommends wearing slippers on the plane for comfort and sanitation.

"If your feet swell during the flight, you'll still be comfortable, and you can walk down the aisle of the plane with something on your feet," she says.

6 Save a copy of your itinerary in your checked bag.

On the topic of lost luggage — no one ever thinks it will happen to them. But even if you don't have a tight connection, a number of factors can cause your bag to get delayed. This is why  Amina Dearmon , owner and travel advisor at Perspectives Travel , suggests printing a copy of your itinerary and packing it on top of your checked luggage, so airlines can easily return it to you.

"If you're only in your first destination for a day or two, the airline will know where you're headed next and [send] your bag to your new location," says Dearmon.

7 Buy a colorful passport cover.

Kim Parizek of Boutique Travel Advisors suggests getting "a very colorful and flat passport holder that is easy to find in a flash." She personally carries a pink one, which allows her to spot the passport in her carry-on amidst the chaos of customs or security.

8 Know when to book flights.

It's long been a commonly held belief that Tuesday is the cheapest day of the week to book flights. Ivan Saprov , founder and CEO of flight-booking site Voyagu , says this is true, but he adds that there are other hacks, too.

"Booking a flight in the middle of the night could also save you money," he shares. "According to our experience, airlines release better seat availability at 4-5 a.m., when there is less activity in the market. This is because airlines use a revenue management system to control how they distribute seats, and they release cheap seats during off-peak hours to attract customers."

"Also consider flying midweek for better rates, as there's a huge demand to travel out early in the week and return on Saturday or Sunday," he adds.

9 And be flexible with your airports.

Mercedes Zach , a travel expert at ASAP Tickets , says you can also potentially save money on flights by being flexible with what airports you fly out of and into. For example, she suggests looking into "open-jaw tickets," or tickets where you don't arrive and depart from the same airport.

"If a direct flight is too expensive, look into connecting flights and, where possible, check out pricing for flights to secondary airports," she notes.

10 Double- and triple-check your name details.

After booking flights, hotels, and excursions, check that your name on all the reservations and tickets correctly matches your ID or passport. "Make sure it is spelled exactly the same!" says Ball. A misspelled name on a reservation can cause delays and even cancellations depending on the airline or hotel policy.

11 Travel on shoulder season.

"After you settle on a destination, make sure you find out when it's peak season and plan your trip before or after that time," says Richter.

Peak travel times are typically predictable, like spring break, holidays, and summer months. The influx of visitors forces prices to increase during these times, thus traveling in the shoulder season allows for a cheaper and less-crowded getaway.

12 Or travel to lesser-visited destinations.

If peak travel times are your only option, you can also consider visiting a less "popular" destination, says Sarah-Leigh Shenton , director of marketing at luxury travel company Red Savannah .

"Instead of Barcelona, for example, consider San Sebastian, a beautiful Catalan town on Spain's Bay of Biscay coast, noted for its delicious food scene," she suggests. "The Amalfi Coast gets horribly crowded in the peak summer months and the coastal road becomes more stressful than scenic—head instead to the more tranquil region of Puglia where you'll discover fine beaches and fascinating villages."

13 Research holidays and open hours.

It's a no-brainer to research attractions in advance, but don't forget to look at the timing, including holiday hours.

"Take special note of days when museums are closed. Don't plan to be in a city for only one day to see a special exhibit and find out later that it is closed that day," says Ball.

She learned this the hard way when she was in Prague. "The only day we had was a Saturday," she shares. "What I really wanted to see were the Jewish sites, and they are closed on Saturday, their holy day."

14 Book online to skip admission lines.

Parizek advises paying for museum tickets in advance, particularly for any experiences that offer a 'skip-the-line' fee.

"The crowds can be overwhelming as over-tourism becomes an issue in most popular destinations. Your time is valuable and waiting in line for two hours to see the Louvre is not a good use of it," she notes.

15 Make those restaurant reservations.

There was always a good chance that highly sought-after restaurants required reservations well in advance. But after the pandemic, even more restaurants are reservation-only.

This is especially true in Europe, says Shenton: "Remember that many book several months in advance—Brett Graham's The Ledbury in London, The Waterside Inn in Bray, and Gigi Paris, with its Eiffel Tower views all require bookings well ahead."

16 Arrange airport transportation in advance.

"There is nothing worse than arriving from a long flight and having to deal with taxis and being ripped off," says Tina Dahmen , a luxury travel advisor in Bali.

Ask your hotel concierge to book a car if there's no shuttle available, or ask your Airbnb host how they recommend getting to the apartment.

17 Pack less.

This may seem self-explanatory, but the more you travel, the more you realize you don't always need everything you pack. Browse your itinerary and check the weather a week before you travel. Then make a list of essentials and outfits you can easily mix and match.

"Packing light is always a good idea to avoid last-minute, stressful stuffing situations," says Georgina Blasco of Freetour .

She adds that this also ensures you'll have extra space to bring home keepsakes: "One of my favorite parts of taking a trip is buying souvenirs for my family and friends. That is what I take into account when packing."

18 Use travel cubes.

One of the best organizing and space-saving techniques is to use packing cubes.

"If you are on a tour and moving from hotel to hotel daily, it is key to have your items packed in cubes so you're not looking for socks while mulling through sweaters, shirts, and underwear," Parizek says.

19 Bring copies of your important documents.

Make two copies of your important ID documents. Then, put your actual passport in the hotel safe, carry one copy with you at all times, and give the other to a friend or family member you're traveling with.

"You may need them at the most unexpected places to prove your credentials," says Saurabh Jindal of the Talk Travel App .

20 Make a reading list.

It goes without saying that guidebooks and travel blogs are an easy way to learn about a destination. But Shenton has other creative recommendations that might "add some deeper appreciation."

"Perhaps a novel set there— Elizabeth Gilbert's portrayal of Italy, Bali, and India in Eat, Pray, Love is compelling—a documentary or historical perspective— Mary Beard's SPQR stands out—or a biography of a well-known resident— Chanel in Paris , for example.

21 Take jet lag into account.

If you're coming off a long-haul international flight, you want to adjust to the time zone both physically and mentally. This means taking a light stroll in the sunlight and not booking any strenuous activities for the first day.

"Ease into your plans so you have more flexibility in the beginning and more tightly scheduled activities at the middle or end of your trip," says Franke.

22 Set a travel budget.

Stressing over finances can completely derail a trip, which is why Zach suggests setting a budget ahead of time.

"Whether you decide how much you want to spend daily or come up with the total costs you can allocate for the trip, that will help you feel less stressed about spending too much or not experiencing everything you wanted," she says. "Also, knowing at least an approximate amount of money you need on top of the flight and accommodation costs allows you to save it up in advance so that you don't end up using all your current savings."

If you're traveling to a major city or another country, it's also important to take into account how prices differ. "That is especially important when going to more expensive places where even a bottle of water can cost five times more than you are used to," Zach adds.

23 Have small cash for tipping.

To ensure you pay credit where credit is due, exchange smaller denominations and set that aside for tipping. Do this prior to arriving, Parizek recommends: "I can't tell you how many times at arrival, I am having to explain that I have no small currency for luggage porters and drivers."

If you aren't able to exchange small denominations of cash prior to your trip or from the local ATM, Jindal says supermarket self-service machines and cashiers can usually break large currency notes that small vendors typically don't accept.

24 Get a credit card with no foreign transaction fees.

Outside of small bills for tipping, it's not wise to carry around a lot of cash when traveling. But swiping your credit card over and over can incur tons of foreign transaction fees—which is why Kimberlee Evans , luxury travel advisor and owner of An Extraordinary Traveler , says it's so important to get a card without them.

25 Consider travel insurance.

Evans says she always recommends her clients purchase travel insurance, even if they're traveling domestically.

"Travel is still not quite what it was pre-Covid. There are flight cancellations and delays every single day. It's best to protect your investment," she explains. "So, although most travelers think of insurance from a medical perspective, there are so many other reasons to be protected. Baggage loss is sadly a BIG reason in today's travel climate."

26 Hire a travel advisor.

To save time and money and to gain access to exclusive experiences, this is the number one trip-planning tip from agents across the board.

"Consider working with a trusted travel advisor to book your hotel… it may lead to some free amenities," suggests Jessica Copquin , a luxury travel advisor at Tzell Travel Group . "As an advisor, we send a note to the hotel as soon as a reservation gets booked to VIP our travelers. This is another benefit of working with an advisor as you get stellar treatment while on vacation."

I know this is an exhaustive topic, but I can't seem to find the answer in a forum search. I apologize if this has ben previously covered and I missed it.

It depends on you, not on your itinerary. Anyone able to search, read and understand written text, fill a form can DIY. If the mere idea of searching, reading and filling makes you shudder, hire a helper by all means.

Of all the things you mention, the only thing you may well need some “extra help” with is getting a reasonable set of invite docs (as you correctly state, if you are not staying at a larger, regular hotel, you will be charged maybe $20), you can do this for maybe $20 on ANY reputable site...e-mailed in PDF form back within 24 hours. no need to pay a visa agency likely at least $100 extra per visa. Once you go on the site you are directed to, you will be given all details, and then a link to a web based app completion...one you can save, come back to...if you hit questions, often we can answer here...more often, the answer is here already, just need to do a quick query in the box above...

I'm in the current visa black hole that others are in after doing it myself with ILS which suddenly ceased operations, turning them over to VFS. Read some of the threads like "Another Russia Visa via Washington DC question " below in the forum. I'd pay the extra $100 in a heartbeat for the peace of mind and speed compared to what's going on (or rather NOT going on) with our applications and passports. But that's just my humble opinion.

i believe at this point both DC and NY are fully moved over to being submitted thru VFS...I would agree that indeed back when you did this, had you used an agency, they - with the fact that the larger ones are handling maybe 10s- 100 at any point in time - might have been able to intercede. BUT, if the site now points folks to VFS, less to be gained...

As always, IMHO of course

I ended up speaking to a man with ILS today, who recommended I call World Visit Center in DC to have them handle everything. Now I'm really confused, because if ILS closed, whom did I speak with???

*Edited to say I now see the disclosure on the website about VFS. Yet, the website is the same name. It's confusing!

I spent 2 hours today just trying to get an answer to the question "Do I file for a tourist or a private visa" and even the gentleman on the phone had a few questions before he could give me a final answer. The government consulate websites are incorrect, saying that the Seattle Visa Support office is still open, despite the closure of the consulate....I think I just might spring for the extra $ to save the time and headache.

I am confused...did you end up here? https://www.vfsglobal.com/Russia/USA/

IF you did, then you can simply follow the info as to which type of visa, etc.

I got there by going to the OFFICIAL site...

https://washington.mid.ru/en/consular-services/

https://washington.mid.ru/en/consular-services/citizens-usa/

https://washington.mid.ru/en/consular-services/citizens-usa/visa-to-russia/

After this last one, I chose the FIRST option...”About Russian Visa Center” (this gets you to the first link I posted above...

As for them saying Seattle and San Fran offices are open, I did not fully check, but while the CONSULATES are closed, VFS may still have local presence and office to accept apps...

Also, as to whether tourist or private, unless you have REALLY good friends or close relatives there, you should choose tourist as, which you will find by reading further on the first site, the PRIVATE route involves quite a bit more hassle, not the least of which being you will need to get a PHYSICAL copy of the invitation documents required...what BTW is the main purpose for visiting?

Your links are so much better than what I found today! Google led me on a wild goose chase, and I ended up here, https://seattle.mid.ru/web/seattle-en/russian-visa-centers and https://ils-usa.com/news/175?domain=5&language=10 telling me that Seattle is still open, but then not being able to get through on the phone or via email. I don't even know where else I looked! Like I said, it was a 2 hour affair that just left me frustrated.

I admit it can be confusing especially with a TON of sites saying they are “Russian Consulate”. I have found as the links show IF you get to the real one, you are in pretty good shape. So, in summary, ILS is no longer in play, when in doubt, call or e-mail VFS...and, also, is Bellingham in Washington (state]...if so, then as I wrote, THEY have a physical presence, office...and presumably if you submit app and paperwork thru them (in person or via mail), then they, as the fully authorized AGENT (not simply a “visa agency”) for pretty much all Russian Consulates in the US, will handle the rest!
