Passport & Duffel Bag Travel Co.
A day in the life of a travel agent is consistent research, continuous training, and meticulously staying up to date on everything travel related.
- I can offer you more options than you will often find on Trivago or Booking.com. I am familiar with dozens of suppliers you may be unfamiliar with or possibly have never even heard of, so before you consider something the best deal out there you may be surprised to find there is something better!
- I am there in an Emergency to help solve your problems. The unexpected issues that can ruin a trip are a lot more manageable when you have a team of people helping resolve them. In a panic, it goes without saying that piece of mind can be priceless!
- Maybe I can save you money, or maybe I can’t get that hotel or flight cheaper this time. That doesn’t mean I can’t get you perks or upgrades. Maybe I know about an upcoming promotion that could affect what dates you choose to travel or where you decide to stay.
- You can spend weeks researching transportation, accomodations, flights, and tour prices only to discover that what you originally wanted is no longer available or double the cost! With so many booking engines, websites, and “deals” out there you constantly feel like you missed something. We save you valuable time, not to mention unnecessary stress and hassle!
Service Fees and Deposits
Don’t panic…this is rather painless!! Without a doubt you are wondering ” What’s using a travel agent really going to cost me?” Amazingly, the answer is most often absolutely nothing!! How is this possible? Its really quite simple. Travel agent incomes are predominantly commission based. They are not payed by individual clients whom they book travel for, but instead are payed by travel suppliers and providers within the industry for promoting and selling their services. In some cases travel can be non-commissionable to agents, therefore, they charge a small service fee for the time they invest. As for customized vacations, we sometimes require a deposit upfront, which will be applied in full to your trip if you book thru us. This allows our company to be compensated for our services. If your trip requires an upfront deposit we will discuss it with you before going further. Please understand we are not out to get your money! Our goal is to save you money and provide our expertise to guarantee you will want to use us again for all your future travel ventures!
Service fees are very rare. Domestic Flights booked thru Passport & Duffel Bag usually incur a small service fee, unless they are part of a complete package, due to the fact Domestic Airlines do not offer commission to travel agents any longer. Again, you will always be notified of these fees in advance of booking. Please do not hesitate to ask us if you have any questions.
