Travel Agents, which is why 'no longer necessary' 's why ', slowly, they are doing "harakiri".
job in the IT field for many years now, but still I never made a purchase with "credit card". Anyways
', I made many small purchases online with the paper "poste pay" I feel safe and I have no problems. So far, however, 'for our travels we have always chosen to buy ticket agency, to be "more 'protected' (boh?) and get some advice and assistance in piu '... even if there 's never been a need and we were often more' informed us of them. Moreover, figures for non-small ", I always preferred the agency not to buy tickets online and enter the codes of my paper.
"What do you expect, of course this has a cost," you say: the agency took only 10% of the sales transaction of the ticket. Yeah, 'cause the "dirty" work of the search company - date - time - the price I have always done. Not a little, 200 € (on an intercontinental flight from 2000) to do almost nothing are many. But until now was the right thing '.
But now ' exaggerated.
The other day I went by our agency to "trust", working for years, and I asked for a quote for our next trip: not a small estimate, 6 flights (2 intercontinental) for two people. Balances in hand, the estimate was increased by 20% on the price that I would have bought online. Ergo, nearly 500 euro in piu '. All this is to purchase 6 tickets, with the list of flights to reach me, then no effort to research and organization of the dates / times.
At this point, the blow if the travel agencies are working alone, because of greed or do not know what else is not applied the "fair price" for their services. I could accept 10%, but an increase of 20% and 'absurd.
I do not think that it will accept 'the agency's budget, save' my € 500 and will try 'to buy the tickets yourself, online, as is already' do my friends and family and many of you who read this blog .
And everything will be fine.
why I will not need multiple agencies.
