The question of how to manage travel came up the other day. I recommend Fabyo Brenner at North South Travel for making travel arrangements. 604-717-1739. Fabyo is efficient, and emails you the ticket and puts a copy in the mail (I heard that people are walking over to travel cuts at the moment ). I don't know whether I pay more than others on average for trips, though Fabyo knows that cost is my main criterion in choosing flights.
