Here are some of the reasons why it makes sense to rely on a Travel Agent during these times.

Let me give you the list of reasons why if you're not booking trips with a travel agent, you're missing out on the life-saving, hair-saving (because you've been pulling out strands due to travel stress), sensational deal-sniffing, time-travel heroes.

1. Saving Infinity Time Stones Trust me, you don’t want to be haunted by the Ghost of Wasted Hours, diving into the black abyss of the internet, comparing hotel reviews or flight schedules when you could be doing fun stuff instead. Like, I don't know, rocking out to your 80's guilty pleasure playlist while making that Banana Bread that's been trending during lockdown.

2. The Stress-Busting Superheroes Travel planning can turn your brain into scrambled eggs on a rough sea (without the toast). Where's the self-care and relaxation in that? Let the travel agents wade through the mad river of travel chaos for you, and spare yourself from stress-induced silver hair.

3. The League of Extraordinary Jetsetters Who needs Batman when you have a travel agent on speed dial? These caped crusaders know a thing or two (or three... or a hundred) about globe-trotting. And on top of that, they're like the walking Wikipedia of travel news, staying ahead of Covid-induced updates and restrictions.

4. The Never-Ending Maze of Changing Travel Landscape Cruise ships are retiring. Hotels require Covid test results. Pilot's dogs now need passports. Keeping up with the latest trends and requirements is a full-time job. After all, deciphering travel jargon is much less fun than deciphering a crossword puzzle on a lazy Sunday, right?

5. The Dynamic Duo of You and Your Travel Agent In this twisted treasure hunt for travel deals, your trusty sidekick, aka Travel Agent, ensures that you get the best gem amongst the rubble. They're not just insightful, they're intuition ninjas, focused on bringing your vacation dreams to life.

6. Captain Save-A-Business Is your spider-sense tingling to support local small businesses? Travel agencies have taken a "Thanos Snap", hurting from the pandemic, and need your superhero support. By choosing a travel agent, you're helping to revive your local economy.

7. Privilege Unleashed Travel agents have secret, bottomless Mary Poppins-style bag, full of perks and benefits to sprinkle on your journey. Who knows, you might find a surprise bottle of champagne pop up at your honeymoon suite or an unexpected room upgrade!

8. Hermione's Time-Turner Travel agents are more than just travel agents. Whether it's overcoming the 9/11 aftermath or the Great Recession, these folks are tougher than a phoenix rising from ashes. They live and breathe travel, even during a pandemic. They can plan for the future and keep you excited, long before you are ready to dust off your suitcase.

9. The Fellowship of the Travel Agents With a travel agent, you're entering a magic circle. A fellowship of travel wizards, each with a unique set of skills, acquired on their own adventures, aka familiarization trips. Your personal planning becomes a group effort, drenched in worldly experience from the travel agent's network.

10. Your Personal T.A.R.D.I.S Travel agents. They're not just engines, they're part human, part R2-D2. They are in it with you, long after that click of 'Book Now', and long into the moonlight of your trip. A flight cancellation may seem like Voldemort getting the Elder Wand, but your agent is the Harry to your rescue!

11. The Midas Touch Your money? Travel agents turn it into gold. They have access to the industry’s Pandora’s Box of upgrades, perks, the best rooms, and special features. Who wouldn't want more bang for their buck? So, while those pesky online databases might promise you the world, when it comes to planning a trip, it’s all fun and games, till it isn’t. Best to leave it with the jesters of jet-setting - Travel Agents!
