POLL:
WHAT SHOULD A TRAVELER EXPECT FROM THEIR AGENT?
#1. The value in peace of mind
"I don't know what I'd do without our agent - he keeps me updated on payment deadlines, transfer times, Tourist Visa deadlines, air schedules, they choose the best accommodation, he makes sure I get all the points from all the programs and gets me all the necessary documentation I need before we travel - all so I can focus on the bigger picture - my clients needs"
- Amanda Freeman, Corporate Clients
