Flying to Asia? Best prices and service here!

by davidzziemba

I've used this company 3-4 time now to fly Seattle to Bangkok, and each time, I've gotten far better prices than on the airline and travel websites. Furthermore, the agent named Hong is very knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. Most recently, flights on the exact dates that I wanted were booked, but she put us on the waiting list and we got on the flights anyway. Try *that* with a airline website! :)

• Pros: better prices than airline and travel websites, good service
• Cons: none

Saved me over $400!! Extremely helpful!

I had never used a travel agency before because I usually book myself online, but this time I decided to because my trip was more complicated (Seattle to Beijing, then flying home Shanghai to Seattle with a 4 day layover in Tokyo). I talked to many travel agents as well as the airline directly and every price I got was well over $1400. Robert at Asia Travel was able to get me the trick for $1070 (that is the TOTAL price including taxes and everything). He also went out of his way to work with me to make sure I could be on the same flight and sit next to my friend who was buying his tickets with frequent flyer miles.

Additionally, he was very upfront and told me when I could find tickets cheaper elsewhere (for the domestic China flights he told me to try to get them in the country because they will be cheaper). I'm sure many travel agents would just try to get your business no matter what, so that was really nice.

From now on I will be using Asia Travel to book all my travels in Asia!

Oh, and they will also get your VISA for you!

• Pros: Very cheap prices, very helpful, honest
