Maxine

Noah;
Thank you for providing valuable information. It's people like you who make this forum enjoyable. Hats off to you!!

KAL

Noah, Great post and I second Maxine's comments.

I have been looking for other boards since this one is getting a bit harder to offer any advice or tips or even ask a question without getting some smug acusatory comments afterwards.

I can't wait to see how the "No Name" lynch mobs attack this one.

notravel

You mean because all the travel agents like you Kal are busily congratulating the other travel agents like Noah when they post their pitches here? What regular traveler would have the time or inclination to post ALLLLLLL this stuff here? Just more "helpful" Joe Travelers, right? No reason, just being "helpful!" In a pig's eye.

Better find a new profession...the travel agency business is no longer the easy-profit money-maker it once was for you, is it?

very

oh, christ!
Enough already-
Noah, thanks for sharing your research-
(btw, if you're collecting a salary and/or commission from ALL these sites you listed, you must be LOADED!)

Sandy

Read the travel agents article posted here on Fodor's to find out how they are paid by "preferred suppliers" to steer clients to the suppliers' businesses.

youleave

Here's an idea for all you travel agents and others with all your "useful" and "helpful" thinly disguised pitches -- you stop posting and "steering" here, and you won't be subjected to any more posts exposing you for who and what you are!

Noah

Thank you so much to all posted kind words.

As to the others, I'm not a travel agent and I'm not affiliated with any of the sites I list...but there is probably no way to convince the paranoid individual(s) here.

Fodors

Noah, if you are a travel agent, please read the fules regarding posting advertisments on this forum. If you are not a travel agent, please get a life. that is all. you are dismissed
