ASTA travel agents will be aware of promotional rates and special programs that may not be advertised to the general public.
For hassle free travel planning, use a travel agent for all of your travel needs and get the best rates.

Travel Agents Care about Your Travel Experience
Professional travel agents are actively seeking ways to take the hassle out of travel. For example, they want to make sure that all of an airlinee's "hidden" fees are disclosed up front, no matter how a consumer chooses to purchase their travel. Consumers are entitled to full and honest disclosure of all fees and charges associated with air travel before they purchase a ticket, whether they choose to purchase directly from an airline or from a traditional or online travel agency.
ASTA, the American Society of Travel Agents, is also working with the Transportation Security Administration to ensure that travelers receive the highest level of security and safeguards, and supports the Department of Transportation's efforts to enhance passenger protection.
