travel agent

[SAMG]

Just a quick question for anyone who knows anything about travel agents? Any recommended programs to join to become one? Any info?

Are you talking about a Franchise you can join or ... Make your post a little more informative and people may be able to help you cause.

A cheap travel agency franchise is "Carlson Wagonlit". Very popular and been around for some time. http://www.carlsontravel.com
Some of the franchise info websites have details and specs.

No I'm talking about starting my own travel agency. But if you search up on how to get the discounts and deals that will allow you to compete with other travel agencys, you have to purchase some type of program to get those same deals. Like $495, with $195 recurring every year to continue to get discounts on air travel, car rentals and so on. Im asking has anyone done this? Anyone used one of these programs before, know of one that they dont charge you to get discounts?

I currently work at a help desk for a program call sabre

I think its pretty good as a program from what customers tell me. I dont use it, just fix it.

But have a look anyway
