I have an excellent travel agent -- one who has not only found me
very, very good fares and connections, but one who understands my
travel needs.  Yes, it helps that she's a friend.  Yes, it helps
that her husband works in the computer industry (compiler,
operating system, architecture research), so she DOES understand
the foibles of trusting the computer.  Yes, it helps that I
studied the travel agent industry for two separate projects while
in school.

Indeed, there are bad travel agents (I've had terrible
experiences with agencies for some of the companies with which
I've worked).  A real key is, how much effort have YOU put into
helping your agent understand your needs?

Well, I guess you could always learn to fly.....!
