Not a question you might be asked every day but a very valid one all the same 😊 Much like a travel agent, an oat latte is not for everyone, but for the right person both are a perfect solution. Oat lattes provide a creamy, rich texture that rivals traditional dairy and are a great alternative for anyone who is lactose intolerant or follows a vegan diet. While travel agents do not offer exactly the same benefits, there are several reasons they are the option of choice for many people.

‍

You will be Dealing with an Expert

If you decide to book with a travel agent, rest assured you will be dealing with an expert in their field. They will be able to take on board your requirements and preferences and tailor your dream getaway. Just like a skilled barista can make an oat latte just the way you like it – extra hot, cinnamon, no foam? You got it!! Your travel agent will also have many destination insider tips, upgrades and general advice that will all add the overall enjoyment of your holiday.

‍

Saving both Time and Money

Without doubt two of the main benefits of booking with a travel agent. As already mentioned, travel agents are experts. So instead of you spending hours trawling through the internet all you need to do is have a quick chat with your travel agent and they will do the rest. All while you pop down to local cafΓ© for a delicious oat latte.

There is often the misconception that travel agents are more expensive than going the DIY route. In a lot of cases the opposite is true, as travel agents have access to exclusive rates with preferred suppliers. By working on the frontline, agents will be the first to hear of offers and last-minute deals as well as being able to recommend the most cost-effective times of the year to visit certain destinations.

‍

Second to none Customer Service

By booking with a local (shop local!!) and reputable travel agent you will get unrivalled customer service – a service that you would certainly not get through booking with a large online travel agency. We will always be only a phone call away no matter what your issue or concern is. You won’t end up talking to an online bot or be put in a long queue on an automated telephone system. The world of travel can at times be stressful but with the peace of mind of having a dependable and responsive travel agent, this can be eased.

‍

Travel agents are Businesses Centered around People and Relationships

We are a proudly Irish owned company which has been operating in the Cork and Irish travel market for over 30 years. We, like all good travel agents, value our staff and our clients, both who have formed lasting relationships down through the years built on trust and respect. We believe these relationships add to the overall holiday experience and is a big part of the reason we have such a high level of returning clients.

‍

Flexible Payment Plans

By booking with a travel agent, you have the option of setting up a payment plan to clear the cost of your holiday. You can book your holiday by putting down a deposit and pay the rest in interest free instalments.

‍

Travel Documentation

Whether your preference is printed boarding passes, accommodation vouchers, park passes etc… or soft copies sent by email we can do it all. This takes a lot of hassle out of the travel experience and you can simply collect or be posted all of your tickets which will provide great peace of mind while you set off on your holiday.

‍

We hope the above gives a rich flavour (just like an oat latte) of some of the reasons why considering a travel agent for your next holiday might be worth it. We believe, just like the barista who prepares a perfect latte made with oat milk, a travel agent can turn your holiday from good to extraordinary with their expertise and personal touch.
