It may seem a little surprising that one of the most technologically-focused generations prefer a traditional method of booking vacations, but when you consider the characteristics that make up many millennials, it’s actually not that surprising. Being a Millennial myself I can vouch for the many good and not so good characteristics we have been labeled with.
First of all, we don’t like wasting our time. We’ve got friends to catch up with, avocado brunches to get to and the world to see. We’re not keen on spending hours doing research when we could easily turn to a professional to do it for us.
Second, we prefer to take the easy route. Not to say we aren’t hard workers (I, a millennial, consider myself to be a very hard worker), but simplicity goes a long way with this generation and what’s more simple than getting someone else to plan and secure an adventure of the life time!.
Intelligent but a little insecure about our international abilities, a Travel Agent provide us with the safety and confidence we need to go on a holiday.
Easy, time saving and confidence – 3 basic millennial characteristics that equate to the three reasons why millennial’s love using Travel Shack.
Here’s a few more reasons why booking flights through Travel Shack will benefit you!
Unlike a standard booking website, we can actually hold a reservation into our ‘GDS’ and babysit that potential booking while our clients get their sh*t together – or manage to get that time off work. Online booking websites give customers no such option, forcing them to book then and there. Advantage, Travel Shack.
We have access to some pretty awesome industry rates and are privy to a bunch of airfares that just aren’t available online in addition to a whole slew of negotiated fares with some of the best airlines in the biz.
Have you ever been stuck in a sticky situation? Or have you accidentally cancelled a reservation? No sweat – if you’ve booked with Travel Shack. We have contact details to some of the big wings of the travel industry.
Often those big wings can throw their weight around and help our customers get what they need. Customers booking online have no such recourse. But of course, you already knew that.Have you ever tried to book a Round the World (RTW) ticket online? It’s pretty hard, even for a seasoned travel agent or traveller alike. But it’s not that difficult at all to do on a GDS.
Constructing an RTW ticket is only a matter of finding the correct booking class and then charging our clients accordingly.Can you make sense of all that fine print? “How much does it cost to change my flight?” “Can I reroute?” “Can I cancel my ticket?” If you’re booking online you’ll have to read all that complicated mumbo jumbo on your ticket and make sense of it all by yourself… Good luck!
The team at Travel Shack, the intelligent folk that we are, are well versed in decoding all that fine-print down there and making it simple for our customers to understand.
