Need travel agent in Colombia or USA or wherever

Greetings,

I need to organise airfares for my inlaws from Bogota to Brisbane, Australia, via chile or argentina, starting early October and returning 2 and 1/2 months later. Does anyone have a good travel agent to recommend? Travel agent can be in Colombia, USA or Australia.

Hi,

I can't really recommend a travel agent in Oz or in Colombia. But for what it is worth, (coming back from Colombia to Oz) my experience was that the airfares going via Chile or Argentina were a lot more expensive than going via Miami or LAX on American Airlines or Continental, not to mention much longer delays at airports in between). American airlines have many flights from Colombia and the LAX - Sydney/Brisbane leg uses Qantas. Just book them online at www.aa.com
If there Spanish isn't good they will be glad also as the crews are usually bilingual, this may or may not be important.

may a thousand mangy wombats shit in your billabong

You have a computer, why seek a travel agent? You can do a better job yourself, with a bit of patience. Check the airlines directly, and Expedia can be a good start to see who flies where, but probably not the best deals. Many of the others don't do international.

Travelling Inter-U.S., Caribbean, South America, and Europe, I have not used a travel agent for flights, hotels, or tours for maybe 15 years.

For Chilean origins/destinations, see www.LAN.com . A great little airline (not really so little). They are an AA partner so you can get award travel from AA miles.

Sometimes looking at dates a day or two, before or after, can reveal better fares.
