Where do you need to travel? (From, to, when?) Ryanair, for example, has lots of offers at €20 or less, but if you don't need to fly from secondary airports in Europe, then that wouldn't be a good suggestion.

I recommend staying at the MGM Grand, if you use MGM023 to book your room you can get rooms as cheap as $ 69 a night (room sometimes upgraded for free) at an amazing hotel. Check out KA while you're there too if you decide to. Tripadvisor is a good one.

However, I suggest you do not buy tickets until you get indication you will be approved for a visa. You will need a visa even for countries that normally do not require a visa. However, it is likely that you will never be allowed to enter any other country. Any sort of felony or sex offense pretty well means that you will never be allowed to travel internationally.

]]> Comment on How does a travel agency make money? by Monica P http://www.vireiapagina.com/blog/2011/10/31/how-does-a-travel-agency-make-money/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Monica P Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:08:55 +0000 http://vireiapagina.com/blog/2011/10/31/how-does-a-travel-agency-make-money/#comment-37 Hey Mike These days the travel industry is in a lot of flux. Traditionally, travel agents have made the majority of their money on commissions paid by airlines, hotels and tour operators. As commissions began to shrink (and traveler questions became more complicated), travel agents have had to find alternative sources of revenue. A great deal of travel agents have started to charge fees for their services, sometimes a flat fee, sometimes an hourly rate. However, there are still plenty of agents who use a more traditional model and make all their money off the commissions from the travel partners they'll book. A very few agents are making the transition to fee-based services, but are nervous about telling clients about their new fee structure, so that can sometimes (in very rare cases) make for an unpleasant surprise for the traveler. I'd recommend you be straight up, and ask them, do you charge any fees? They won't be offended by the question, and that way you'll have all the information you need up front. As for needing a travel agent, that's up to you. Many travel agents can really help augment a trip, especially if you're going to a place you've never been before or one that involves a lot of complicated details. Also the agent can save you a ton of time (most people use some 20 something websites to book one trip). Also if something goes terribly wrong (think volcanoes in Iceland or ships stranded in a foreign port), the agent can be an amazing resource in helping you take care of problems that crop up. Most importantly, travel agents almost always have better relationships with suppliers than a general traveler does. So your agent may know about upgrades or better deals that you'd never be able to find on your own. While I'm not promising you'll get an upgrade, if you and your travel agent forge a relationship, it is quite possible you'll be able to reap unexpected benefits down the line. Good luck and happy travels Monica, Online Editor www.travelagewest.com Hey Mike
