Speaking of Travel Agents, I forgot to post the results to my challenge a few weeks back. The challenge was eve to see if one could even find an online service that would BOOK the routing in question. In summary, the routing was YVR-ATL, stay for four days, ATL-TAB-ATL over the weekend, start for four days in ATL and back home to YVR. The CLOSEST I managed was using Air Canada's PTO product, that depending when I tried it complained and said I should call an agent for pricing. One web site got it all (Travelocity), but gave me routing choices that were simply not realistic. It also had a price of $3400USD. My travel agent booked it all on one ticket, (three paper booklets!) for $1000USD. My agent, once again, earned EVERY cent of the fee that pays the bills.
