World Travel

I am planning a trip to Asia with two friends. I called world travel to help me book our flights. After we got our flights, I was going to have the travel agent book our hotels, and get us some train tickets. I called her on a Friday with some information on a specific flight. She said she would look into it and get a hold of me the following Monday. I never heard back from her. No call no email. This was a week before Christmas, and I realize during the holidays peoples schedules change, but it is still incredibly unprofessional to just blow off a potential customer. As it turns out I did all my reservations online, and it was very easy. Which makes me realize how unnecessary travel agents are. Which is all the more reason why if I am offering them my business, I thing they would make a little bit of effort to accept my business.

It might be too soon to rave about Kris at World Travel, but holy cow! Consider this a rave! I contacted Kris early in our planning process with a rough sketch of what we were looking for and she got back to me in a flash. Rather than write us off after we changed our minds twice about our travel plans, she listened to us and let us know the minute an airfare sale appeared so we could take advantage of a great, great price that allowed us to upgrade seats. She helped us figure out a route that offered good times, easy transfers, flexibility and enough structure to give us a jump start our planning.
I’ve always liked researching destinations and travel planning, but after a flight was cancelled and were were left stranded in Italy on one trip, I’ve realized how much travel agents enhance my experience. Maybe everyone else knew that but I’ve always tried to save the money and do it myself. These days I appreciate the expertise and care a good travel agent brings to the table and frequently they are able to find deals on hotels and flights that pays for their commissions. But even if it costs a bit more it’s worth it to me to have someone to call when things go wrong. Three cheers for World Travel. I feel lucky to have you here to help me work things out.

Sharon did an amazing job working with us as «cruise newbies» for a Mediterranean Cruise this past September. She worked tirelessly to ensure «smooth sailing» for us and when we hit a snafu on the last leg of the cruise, she worked to fix the problem after we returned. I would definitely recommend her to all and we will be using her again for another upcoming trip. Thank you Sharon~~!! Jakki J.

We use this place for all of our business arrangements, and all I can say is… wow. There is definitely something to be said for hiring professionals to book arrangements.
I have a boss who is, how do I put this delicately? Manic. She changes her mind every ten seconds, and never knows what she wants, so is constantly disappointed by everything and everyone. These people seem to please her which says a whole helluva lot.
Sharon is a rock star/​god-​send/​travel vixen. Not only is she great at her job, but she is so much fun to talk to. These people really go above and beyond for their customers.
