Travel agent gone AWOL

[markis10]

The more general question:
what are the industry protections for clients of a TA?. Could some one summarise please?

None unless, they are an ATIA accredited agency

I would be interested to know from those who have been happy with him what was so "special" he could do that other TA's can't.

It’s many and varied, but by its nature I don’t think it could be discussed here.

Some could be done by other TA’s if they knew how, but I don’t think many other things could.

As I said saved thousands. I had been. using OW Circle Asia fares that were ~ $A5000 in J. He put together itineraries that more than matched the miles but at~ $3500 in J and 5500 in F. If a sale then F could be 4500. Now it meant 2 BA F flights but we also had more JAL flights in F and a few on CX.
Our TA who is excellent couldn’t match it. Helped Mrsdrron retain WP and me get BA gold.
