Beware of the ever changing airline fees. 

Now let's talk about the airline fees.  Airlines are charging for bags, some are charging for carry on (word to the wise be far warned it will be a matter of time before the other airlines decide they too can charge for carry on), fees for extra leg room, fees for seat assignments (this is wrong, you purchased a seat and now some airlines are charging you extra to get a seat assignment at time of booking, fees for food, fees to speak to a real human that is a reservation agent at the airline and before long (you know they will try it) they will charge to use the laboratory.

Travel consultants that sell air have to keep all of this straight because after all there are several hundred airlines out there that service this planet.  A Travel Consultant will CONSULT you on all the ins/outs of whatever airline or airlines service the market you wish to travel.  When you do it yourself, you have to make sure you READ every page of that airline website or on line travel site to make sure you fully understand what you are purchasing, the rule for that airfare you are purchasing, the added FEES the airline will charge you and so on.

Beware that airline prices for tickets are going up by the second.  You see the car fuel going up, up,up which is the same thing happening with jet fuel. Use a travel consultant, pay our small fee to allow a professional (or shall I say a real human not a computer screen) do all the work, provide you with the details of what the airline price and fees you will be hit with when you go to check in.

Use a travel consultant, we have knowledge, experience and wisdom. Travel consultants do all the work, present you the rules, details and restrictions. Airline tickets are a huge part of the vacation process and beginning to become the most expensive aspect of the vacation package.
