ONLINE BOOKING VERSUS TRAVEL AGENT BOOKING........ WHICH IS GOOD?

It all depends on the situtations. Both have Pro's and Con's. Here is what one should look at before finalising which suits you the best:

• Use online site for the following:
• When you just want a plane ticket.
• When you want a chain motel.
• If you want a last-minute travel package where you're not picky about the hotel or a basic car rental .
• You are looking for a basic trip.
• You want the cheapest price available.
• You are making a simple booking.
• You want maximum control over your itinerary.
• You don't mind spending hours on travel research.
• You are reasonably savvy about travel.
• You want to avoid paying an agent fee.

Use a travel agent for the following:
If you're looking for experience, convenience and personal service.
If you are going to off the path locals.
If you are booking a tour or a cruise.
If you have a complicated itinerary.
If you want upscale flights and lodging, special amenities or out-of-the-ordinary experiences.
If you want a customized experience.

So should you use a travel agent or use the Web? What it boils down to is this: Online, it's cheaper, but it is buyer beware. With an agent, you've got somebody on your side, but for a price.It's your call. Figure out what you want from your trip, how you want to travel and how much you want to spend, and take it from there.
