The travel chaos caused by Iceland’s volcano shows why travel agents are still the best way to book an overseas trip. As millions of people are stuck where they do not want to be and are struggling to sort out their plans, those with a travel agent only have to make one call. Travel agents provide that human connection you need in a crisis - you will not receive that type of service from a Web Site or an overloaded gate agent.

Booking via the Internet is not always the best option for travel, particularly to foreign destinations. Things can—and do—go wrong, and having an experienced professional to speak with is critical to giving you peace of mind as well as offering solutions. This is especially true if you are disabled, have a chronic illness or are a mature traveler. An experienced travel agent that specializes in accessible travel understands your unique travel requirements and can be there for you in arrange accommodations and travel that meets your needs.

Certainly the fallout from the volcano shows the limitations of online booking. With disruptions caused by the ash cloud creating havoc in Europe and jamming travel Web Sites and call centers, it is extremely difficult for many travelers who have to do all the running around themselves. But those who book through a travel agent are able to make one call and have their agent sort out everything for them—or at least explain the options. That is something you can never get online.
