Nothing wrong with travel agents , I have used travel agents for 5 Round The World - Business Class trips,try doing that with the airline directly & you pay several thousand more.

With a travel agent & I am ticketed the same day,seats chosen & most importantly saved several thousand than with booking directly with airlines,

Direct bookings with airlines are ok with easy legs however once you start adding extra stopovers you get burgled by the airlines.
