FILE - A Delta Air Lines plane takes off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Nov. 22, 2022, in Atlanta. "If you want to book something for summer, I'd do it now. It's not going to get cheaper, just more expensive," said Gustafson, owner of SG Travel Two who has been a travel agent for over 40 years.
She is concerned because she's already booked the cruise portion of the trip, but the cost of airfare for 10 family members is hard to swallow. Online travel agencies offer convenience and the ability to quickly compare prices and find good deals. "You may have booked an ocean view but end up with a narrow view of the ocean and a bigger view of the parking lot or cars. If you don't care about that, then those could be good deals," she advised.
