Question: How much of a discount do you get with a travel agent?
This June, a group of students and I are planning to fly to Russia from Washington DC. I’ve been looking at ticket prices online, and they are quite expensive (about $ 2200 to the city where we will be going). I’ve heard that it is usually much cheaper to get international tickets through a travel agent. What percentage of discount could we expect? Thanks!

Travel agents usually can’t give that much of a discount because there is not much margin on airfares these days. but a travel agent can usually get the ticket for you for the same price that you found on the net, but you have the peace of mind of knowing that you have a human to contact if something goes wrong or if you need to make any changes.

Hollerado grew up on the same street in a small town in Ontario. There is one bar in the town and on Friday nights the jukebox plays Roy Orbison, and John Prine. One day, while riding the bus, a man in an exquisitely tailored suit said to them it is not nearly as fun to reminisce about the times you didnt spend your life savings on four one-way tickets to Japan. With that in mind they got jobs doing construction. When they were tearing down the old walls they listened to The Who. When they built new walls they talked about time travel. Soon they bought an old van and started a moving company (Haulerado). The van had a tape player and they listened exclusively to the Traveling Wilburys.

Question: What kind of jobs are there where you can Travel?
I want a job where I can travel around the world and be there for weeks. What jobs are there where you get paid to go some where and you get to travel at the same time? Beside a travel agent and a flight attendent.

no idea – but I would choose someone local to you so you can go visit them if they are not giving you good service.

it is harder to ignore someone sitting in your businness office than one you are talking to over the phone
