Oftentimes, people who book reservations directly with a travel supplier discover they would get better service with a travel agency. These travelers can easily transfer direct reservations to a travel agency without being charged a penalty to cancel and rebook. It is more complicated to transfer a reservation from one travel agency to another, because the original travel agency would have to approve the transfer. When transferring a direct booking, however, there shouldn't be any issues with making the transfer.
