Part 12 Of Series: 101 Reasons To Use A Travel Agent


Part 12 Of Series: 101 Reasons To Use A Travel Agent

Everyday there are changes in the travel industry, and the most recent are several big items that should be on everyone's radar. The top two are the Continental & United merger as well as the Southwest & Airtran merger; however, there is another very large change in travel for those who travel to Mexico, and that is the usage of pesos over U.S. dollars.

Initially reading this, a lot of people may think that's not a big deal - but it is. I've been to Mexico on numerous occasions and I'm one of those people who feel it's important to have some of the money to the country you are traveling to, but there are countless people who have traveled to Mexico and never purchased a peso in their life, unless it was given as change. Well now, they really won't have a choice. In order to get more information on this, I would recommend checking out the Mexican Embassy website for any additional information prior to travel.

  • Advice on Where to Go if You Get Sick - If you happen to be unfortunate enough to get hurt or fall ill while on your trip, your travel agent can help find you somewhere clean and safe for medical attention. (Travel Insurance - just a side note from That Chick Té)
  • Trust - If you should have any questions after booking your trip you know how to reach your travel agent and can avoid the FAQ section on a website.
  • You Know How to Reach Them When You Need Them - Problems at the airport? Reservation issues at the hotel? Your travel agent is a phone call away from getting your problem solved.
  • Tips and Tricks - How early do you really need to be at the airport? What are the quickest ways to get through security? Your travel expert can advise you of the airport security levels the day of your trip and any new security checkpoints you may have to worry about.
  • Is the Upgrade Worth It? - Your travel expert can help you save money by helping you decide if certain upgrades at hotels are really worth the extra money.
