said by Mele20:A main reason I got another computer was because it is a necessity for travel.
The last time I used a Travel Agent for personal use was in 1994.
My previous large employer had a policy that all travel was to be booked through their agent. That said I, and many others, just booked everything online and got better rates. If they'd rejected my expense reports (never did) I guess I'd have used the agent.
Fortunately I no longer need to travel and unless I need to leave the US I'll go by car. The TSA can grope others.
