To obtain low-cost airline tickets and accommodation, it is often
better to shop online rather than deal with a brick-and-mortar travel
agency. In addition to having to pay for rent, utilities,
salaries, etc. conventional travel agents have little incentive to find
their customers low-cost airfares and accommodation. In addition
to taking more time and effort, low-cost airfares and accommodation
often don't generate a significant commission for the travel agent.
By purchasing airline tickets and hotel accommodation directly from
the service provider or via an established Internet-based travel agency,
the cost conscious traveler can save money.
Another advantage of purchasing travel services online is that should
changes be needed to your itinerary while you are traveling, they can be
initiate from changes from an Internet cafe anywhere in the world.
