If all you need to do is book a quick airline ticket, a short stay or rental car, booking online is the fastest and most convenient way to do it.
An online agency allows you to work with a system that eliminates the need to speak with a live agent, thereby reducing costs.
Booking online is designed for the individual traveler or small group that prefers speed and flexibility. Sites typically allow input of up to six travelers, flexible departure and return dates, and "add-ons."
Online websites sometimes offer discounts that are not commonly available, often called "Internet Specials."
Travel sites offer quick links to get passports, travel insurance, weather reports, online check-ins, "last minute" deals and trip planners for free. Some have also integrated social networking.
