Does anyone use travel agents anymore? I'm trying to schedule flights for my daughter and am having a really hard time finding flights with arrival and departure times that we need. Right now I'm looking at a flight that's almost $900 from Houston to Dulles and am wondering if a travel agent might be able to help me out.  4951

With so much info abound travel agents are a thing of the past...other than trip arranging.
 
Try priceline, kayak and trivago for last minute fares....may find a snap deal. Keep in mind, however that of you have a problem (like a missed connection) the airport counters won't deal with your 3rd party ticket; you'll have to call and sort it out with the source you purchased it from. 4951

Does it have to be Dulles?  Reagan National and Baltimore might be good less expensive options. 4951

They will look at the same information you have and you'll have to pay them for their time. You have to have a 4-6 week advance and travel day flexibility to find a good fare. You ought to be able to do way better than that rate, even around a holiday. 4951

@Camelot:
 
Pretty sure that stopped a while back. At least it did with our Corporate travel group.
 
"Supplier types that as a general practice pay commission include hotels and hotel chains, cruise lines, tour operators, car rental companies, travel insurance providers, airport transfer companies, shore excursion companies, tour guides and some European rail lines. The big supplier type missing from this list is airlines. The airlines stopped paying travel agency commissions in early 2000’s." 4951

I haven't used a travel agent since the late 90s. With all the internet stuff now, not sure why you would need one. 4951

I think American Express still does this as a courtesy. Priceline does too. Good luck. 4951
