I gave up online vacation reservations this year.
This is the second time I wasted hours on several portals before I've found one that worked in a decent way and had a useful choice. When I've finally found a destination, I tried to book the trips I've found and they all have been "sold out". When I tried the same criteria again, I got the same results but more expensive. Again sold out when I clicked any of them. Did it one more time, same results.
Went to a travel agency in a mall nearby. Got a better price and even some useful hints as where to go to when I'm there.
I'll be back when you have that AI travel agent...

- amag 9y agoGiven the state of affairs with online reservations, going to your local travel agency is is undeniably the future. Oh the irony.
- preinheimer 9y agoI tried to book my honeymoon with a travel agent. We figured we could use some good advice, and (at least in canada) when you book with them you get some bonus insurance. They basically told me it wasn't worth their time unless we were booking a cruise.
- aluhut 9y ago> They basically told me it wasn't worth their time unless we were booking a cruise. How is this even possible? Did you take away their time? Were there people waiting who would book a cruise? My experience above is from Germany.
