		<description><![CDATA[There are things that travel agents have access to that can really make travel more affordable. At the very least, they can more easily tell whether a flight is simply expensive because it&#039;s selling out or because there&#039;s no sale going on. They can book consolidated fares, which really help for international flights. 

I miss having access to that information. I hate to say this, but I&#039;ve tried to use a good travel agent (in other jobs where I had to use a TA) and they&#039;re really hard to find. When they&#039;re relying on the same information that anyone can find using expedia, they aren&#039;t going to last long. When they actually work and find deals (even on flights!) they&#039;re worth their fee and more. 

And, of course, it&#039;s more than just flights. I wouldn&#039;t really use them to book my hotels or car rentals because I haven&#039;t found there to be much of an advantage. (An exception is probably travel agents who specialize in all-inclusives, but I don&#039;t go to all-inclusives.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is so interesting to me, because I would never use a travel agent but I can see why people may, if they aren&#039;t seasoned travelers. I do often wonder how travel agents stay in business though :)]]></description>
