I’ve never used a travel agent before and feel it might be a better option for booking a vacation instead of negotiating on my own. Looking for recommendations based on personal experience preferably. Any help would be appreciated.

if you go to a travel agent, is there any obligation? or can you just call a bunch of different places and get prices? AAA wasnt giving me any good deals when i went a couple years ago. like nothing at all. and they were pushing disney like crazy…yeh i was like 26, i dont care about disney.

Thanks for the responses. I’m also curious in the answer to this ^^^. Am I obligated to anything by going to a travel agent and seeing what they have to offer? I’m not really big on paperwork or signing something obligatory before I hear what can be done for me.

We are using a lady my fiance works with to get our honeymoon set up. She has been a travel agent for years and still does it part time. She knows lots of tricks to get you the most for your money. Send me a PM if you want her info.

I’m going [here](http://www.eldoradosparesorts.com/hotels/el_dorado_maroma/). I talked to an in house rep and got the price dropped 1k from the website quote and she tossed in transfers to and from the airport. Online websites were the same price or a bit more than the website quite which seemed weird to me.

Depends. If it’s just a jaunt down to the caribean or something call around, check orbitz, etc. If it’s like over $5k and you’ve got a specific place in mind, start reading on the trip advisor boards. There will likely be one agency that everyone finds the best rates through. When I went [here](http://www.qamea.com/) for my honeymoon I ended up booking through some “South Seas Adventures” or something like that. Based out of Colorado. 😛

We’re planning to stay here: [http://www.konavillage.com/](http://www.konavillage.com/) However, I already booked a reservation online and put down the deposit. Probably a mistake on my part, since it would be nice to negotiate on the price and I’m not sure if that’s possible anymore. However, if I could still save some on the travel expenses by going through an agent, it would be worth it.

I got a excellent deal on our honeymoon, 2 week: one week in oahu,HI and another week in Maui,HI for $4500. On all the travel site it ranged from $6000-9000 for the same options.
That included everything from all the flights to car rental to condo. Excellent deal in my eyes.
We went with soem travel agency on transit in depew.

For just regular hotel stays, if you read some of the priceline forums you can do very well with bidding strategies.
I stayed at a Westin in Fort Lauderdale last week for $31 per night… I have story after story of getting really good deals on priceline.
