Unfortunately, in my past experience with travel agents (in the GCC) they seemed more interested in selling tickets than in helping with refunds. Twice burned now and now I triple (?) check before purchasing.
No matter, I still must plan and deal with some real uncertainties
Can you use a reputable travel agent located elsewhere? Perhaps AmEx PTS/CTS?
