BOOKING THE HONEYMOON

·         High-street Travel Agent: Still by far the most common way to book a Honeymoon is via a high street Travel Agent. Many well established and household name companies can be found down your local town centre and you not only get the chance to speak to someone face-to-face, but you also get the added benefit of friendly, free expert advice. Increased competition from other sources has led to a lowering of prices and improved customer service, not to mention the peace of mind available by booking with a well-known organisation. Many high-street Travel Agents also have an internet site that process bookings, usually with a small discount thrown in. If what you are after is relatively straight forward, you may wish to go back home and book online to obtain this discount or alternatively ask the person in the shop if they will price match with their website figure.

·         Tailor Made high-street Travel Agents: If what you want from your holiday is a little more than boarding a plane, spending two weeks in a beachfront condo then flying back home, then you may wish (or even need) to use a Travel Agent who tailor makes every part of your holiday around your needs. Your run of the mill booking agent may be able to butcher something together, and it is possible you could do so yourself with a lot of planning and heavy use of the internet and telephone, but for peace of mind, a specialist Travel Shop me be your best bet. Discounts are difficult but they can be obtained if you haggle hard enough.
