As an Ex-Luxury Travel Advisor, Here's Why I'd Use a Travel Agent for My Next Complex Solo Vacation

After spending years as a Travel + Leisure A-list advisor, I've come to a surprising realization: if I were planning a complex solo vacation today I wouldn't book it myself.

A reputable travel agent doesn't just book your flights - they build in contingencies, have relationships that get you rebooked faster, and become your advocate when everything goes wrong. As a solo traveler, you don't just need someone to book your trip - you need someone to have your back.
