when traveling to asia i use this agency. I have booked on my own, but dont try that if you travel internationally, unless you live in a city with a direct flight to another country. Most flights to asia originate out of LAX, San Francisco or Seattle. If you dont book with an agent, and say you live in Dallas, you may not be able to carry the same amount of luggage for free, if you book wih an agent then they have partner airlines in the US that allows the luggage limit for international flights. Also if you need to change your departure flight home when in asia, much easier to do it through the travel agent. I have changed flights home on 2 trips using ABC travel and they dont charge extra and have booked my return flights with no problems. I tried booking the domestic flight and international flight myself, got a good deal, but not worth it if you bring lots of things back, or want to change flights.......you have to contact 2 airlines, instead of just a call to your travel agent
Pros: works with you
Cons: only for asia travel, not domestic travel
