hey all have you used a travel agent for booking your honeymoon and if so who did you go through were they a good deal and good to deal with? thanks
I’m doing a HUGE assignment on Poland and this is something I need to know. I don’t know a lot about tourism and Poland, does it have a strong effect on it?
I’m curious on how people feel about this subject.
In the past it has been where several people could get last minute deals. This is somewhat the case still, except the airlines did this and to many people waited last minute thus one of the reasons most domestic carriers are in bankruptcy status.
I for one am all for the people that plan in advance getting the better prices and fortunately the travel industry is changing towards this. It is all in about re-training travelers to not wait last min. It will take some time, but eventually travelers will understand the changes.
I often get asked, wouldn’t they want to at least "fill the empty seats to get something". In the past, yes they did thats why they had the last min deals, but again it got the airlines in major financial trouble! They were/are actually losing money doing it this way.
Look forward to reading everyones thoughts/opinions on this!

Hushnow, thanks for your post.
I think you were misunderstanding what I was trying to ask.
There is not standby any longer, that is a thing of the past.
You say the airlines pay the same amount so why not make money on the unfilled seats. The problem is too many people got used to "last min cheap deals" and that is the airlines fault, yes. However they are changing this.
For flights of people who are unable to plan in advance due to a funeral those are called bereavement fares to make the ticket price reasonable for the person.
Unfortunately from your reply, it tells me just how many misunderstandings there really are out there with travel.
What I was trying to ask is how people feel about the last min. deals virtually out the window? I mean it isn’t that you won’t be able to get good prices just that planning a vacation in advance will be the better way to go for prices.
