Is It More Expensive to Book Through a Travel Agent?
It’s a question we hear often — “Am I going to pay more by using a travel agent instead of booking it all myself online?”
It’s a fair concern. After all, in the age of online deals and price comparison sites, it can feel like everything is at your fingertips. But here’s the good news…
Booking with a travel agent doesn’t mean paying more. In fact, it often means getting more for what you spend. Let us explain.
💸 So… How Are Travel Agents Paid?
We keep it simple: we’re paid a commission from the tour operators, airlines, hotels, and cruise lines we book your holiday with.
That means in most cases, you don’t pay us directly. The price you see is often the same (or better) than you’d find online.
You get expert advice, someone to
handle all the logistics, and ongoing support
— without paying extra. Not bad, right?
🏷️ When Do Travel Agents Save You Money?
Booking with us can actually help stretch your budget further. Here’s how:
- Exclusive package deals that bundle flights, accommodation, transfers and extras – often cheaper than booking them separately
- Upgrades and perks like better rooms, welcome drinks, early check-in or resort credit
- Flexible payment plans or low deposits with our suppliers
- Group discounts or multi-room savings for families and friends travelling together
- Advice that avoids costly mistakes (like picking the wrong location or forgetting a visa)
🧠 What You Actually Pay For
Even when the price is similar to what you’d find online, here’s what you really gain:
✅ Convenience - We save you time. No endless scrolling. No stress comparing 17 flight times or dodgy hotel reviews. Just clear, tailored options.
✅ Knowledge - With years of experience and real
customer feedback, we help you pick the right resort, cruise or itinerary — not just what’s trending.
✅ Security - We only book with trusted, financially protected suppliers. Your holiday will be
ATOL protected, and if something goes wrong, we’re here to sort it out — not a call centre.
🧡 In a Nutshell…
You don’t pay more to book with us — but you do get so much more: Personal service and honest advice, Great value packages and exclusive extras, Someone to call when you need help, Your time back to enjoy the excitement (and skip the hassle)
