How much of a discount do you get with a travel agent?

Posted by admin
Lydie asked:


This June, a group of students and I are planning to fly to Russia from Washington DC. I’ve been looking at ticket prices online, and they are quite expensive (about $2200 to the city where we will be going). I’ve heard that it is usually much cheaper to get international tickets through a travel agent. What percentage of discount could we expect? Thanks!

      The peace of discount because there is not much margin on airfares these days but travel agents usually get the ticket for you for the peace of knowing that you have human to make any changes.

      Agents sometimes have access to unpublished group rates. Plus they can recommend flying times that might save some money.

      However, you will pay for their services.
