Yeah nah, I'll just book my own flights on the net like everyone else. Travel agents are a dying breed.

to say when you're not losing money on cancelled flights mate. Peace of mind is worth something.

Honestly after the whole covid mess, I'd rather have someone else deal with the insurance drama. Might be worth it.

Tom Harris2026-07-10T02:51:00.000Z

Morgan Lee2026-07-10T03:34:00.000Z

AI can't handle the cluster that is travel insurance right now. agents might actually have a comeback

Drew Parker2026-07-10T04:35:00.000Z

Jamie Fox2026-07-10T04:18:00.000Z

Good on her for staying positive. Small business owners have it tough enough without whingers.

Casey Adams2026-07-10T04:37:00.000Z

Finn Walker2026-07-10T05:05:00.000Z

Used a travel agent for our big OE back in the day. Nothing beats local knowledge honestly.
