US Travel Agents

[partyanimal 0]

Anyone know of any US travel agents that specialize in the LOS?

 

How do I know if I'm dealing with a teravel agent or a consolidator?

 

On Thai Airways there's a 75 buck cancelation fee, on China Air 100 bucks, and United is 150. All these are reasonable. But I don't want to be in a use it or lose it if I have to cancel. With consolidators is really non-refundable.

they have great rates for the bigger hotels, especially the Amari's

this trip will stay at Amari in bkk, then Marriott in Ptty for 2 days

will spend 2 days shopping for the "right" spot for the rest of my holiday

I've really never had a problem with consolidators and I've bought a flock of tickets.

Actually that's not quite true as most consolidator tickets are refundable and changeable. I've changed departure dates a few times without problems although I had to pay the 150 change fee. Same fee for a cancellation.

I use : http://www.justholiday.com/ based in San Francisco but there are many out there.
