WWW.NEEDTRAVELNOW.COMA NEW ADVENTURE IN TRAVEL!!I recently became a travel agent and opened my own online travel agency that competes with agencies such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz. My rates are very competitive but of course I cannot promise they will be cheaper 100% of the time. My goal is that you will check my site as you do the others and when you get the best deal with me, then book through me. Plus I provide a large host of other services that are not provided by the other sites, such as booking tickets to concerts and shows, and a honeymoon bridal registry, to name a few.My new website is www.needtravelnow.com Here's an overview of my services:FLIGHTS Book domestic and international flights!NOTE: our quoted fares INCLUDE taxes and fees; that is not the case on other airlines unless you click on taxes and fees or go to the next screen for complete totals. Those taxes and fees can range from $40-$70 so make sure you're comparing at the actual ticket price.Two recent testimonials:I assisted a potential new client with an international flight from LAX to Rome. The best deal he could find was on Orbitz for $853 using a combination of Air India and Lufthansa with a horrible itinerary. I checked my site and found him a great itinerary using 100% American Airlines for $798!! He was thrilled and booked the trip and I have a new client. Interestingly, I went back to Orbitz to price the American Airlines itinerary and it was $1,072, which was $272 more than the one I booked. We had the best deal this time. The main point was that he CHECKED my site as one of his choices.Another example, I checked airfare for a friend from Burbank, CA to Miami, FL. It was an American Airlines itinerary and we beat American directly as well as Expedia.HOTELS, RESORTS & VACATION PACKAGES We want to be your one-stop shop for your hotel reservations.
