At Airline Ticket Centre.ca, our journey began with a seamless booking process that impressed us. The user-friendly website made it easy to navigate, and the booking system was efficient, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Upon arrival at our destination, the quality of service provided by Airline Ticket Centre.ca stood out. The attentive and knowledgeable staff exhibited a commitment to customer satisfaction. Their assistance not only met but exceeded our expectations, adding a positive touch to our travel experience.

2. Boulevard Travel

Services: Corporate, team, vacation, and wedding travel

Website: https://boulevardtravel.com/           

Address: 5124-7005 Fairmount Drive SE, Calgary, AB T2H 0K4 Canada

Contact Details:  (403) 237-6233; [email protected]            

Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• No online booking
• Some reports of travel itinerary issues

Boulevard Travel has been providing travel management services for over 30 years, from corporate to leisure and wedding travels.

Their travel agents can design personalised leisure trips based on your destination, vision, and budget to guide you through your weekend getaway or cultural adventure.

You can give them a call or send an email to discuss the planning of your trip. However, it is unfortunate that they don’t have an online booking feature for faster transactions.

We also learned that they offer event management services where their agents coordinate with you to plan out the details of your entire trip. This includes inspection, transportation, catering, accommodation, and scheduling for each guest.

For instance, they were able to get 70 guests out to Costa Rica and were in constant contact with both the client and hotel to ensure everything was going smoothly.

Although, we are a bit concerned about reports of travel itinerary issues, like having plane tickets rebooked without extra luggage, hotel quality concerns, and other booking errors.

In case you get caught up in this situation, you can call them any time since they provide travel emergency services. But we suggest asking for a line that directly contacts your agent for faster responses. 

3. TierOne Travel Calgary

Services: Vacation and business travel services

Website: https://tieronetravel.com/             

Address: 8835 Macleod Trail SW #210, Calgary, AB T2H 0M2

Contact Details: (403) 216-2450; [email protected]           

Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Large team of travel specialists
• More than 20 years of experience
• Customised travel plans
• No emergency helpline
• Instant flight bookings aren’t available

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, TierOne Travel Calgary continues to offer vacation and business travel management for groups, families, or solo travellers.

Their expertise mainly focuses on customised travel plans to meet your specific needs and budget.

We are impressed with their large team of travel specialists that are experts on specific travel plans, from simple getaways to arts and culture trips. 

Having assigned specialists for different travel experiences allows clients to have better options and deals. You just have to fill out their forms to select a specialist, or you could simply make a phone call.

However, it’s unfortunate that they don’t have online flight bookings since we believe this is useful for clients to look out for cheap flights before they decide to book a specialist.

In terms of being on top of things, they are quick to address any concerns even though they don’t have a 24/7 helpline.

For instance, the assigned specialist was able to resolve a cancelled flight and got the client home on time, even after hours. So rest assured that their specialists are committed to looking after you from your first contact until you return home. 

Overall, they’re a solid choice for personalised trips with a strict budget.

4. Marlin Travel

Services: Flights, car rentals, hotels, cruises

Website: https://www.marlintravel.ca/          

Address: 251 Midpark Blvd SE #218, Calgary, AB T2X 1S3

Contact Details: (403) 201-5490; [email protected]   

Operating Hours: Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Has online booking system
• Package vacation deals
• Solo travel deals
• Closed Fridays to Sundays
• No travel emergency line
• Some complaints on customer service

Marlin Travel is one of the largest retail travel chains in Canada, offering convenient bookings and planning for flights, car rentals, hotels, and cruises for your trips.

For first-timers, you can scan through their package vacation deals for both domestic and international trips. This also helps you search for the best choice that matches your budget.

If you prefer travelling alone, they also have solo travel deals, providing you with a selection of packages, tours, cruises, and tailored itineraries. They have exclusive promos and communication, thanks to their travel affiliates and partners.

Their offices are only open on Mondays to Thursdays, so it may be difficult to do a personal consultation, especially for working clients.

In the meantime, you can search for flights, cruises, car rentals and more through their online booking system, and relay any other concerns to one of their agents through email or phone.

But we did hear some problems regarding their customer service, such as being unresponsive to emails and calls from clients to follow up on their booking status.

We also found out that they don’t have an established travel emergency line, so it’s best to discuss a plan B with your agent for any unexpected issues during your trip.

5. Trips Booker Canada 

Services: Flights, hotel, cruise, vacation 

Website: http://www.tripsbooker.ca/          

Address: 105, 3650 Westwinds Dr NE Suite # 1, Calgary, AB T3J 0W9

Contact Details: (403) 668-4800; [email protected]         

Operating Hours: Monday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM; Sunday: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Open 7 days a week
• 24/7 helpline
• Payment plans available
• Instant flight booking
• Slow refund processing
• Some complaints on poor customer service

Trips Booker Canada offers deals on flight booking for domestic and international destinations along with hotel, cruise, and vacation packages.

You can search and book for the best prices on flights through their online booking after a few clicks.

As for vacation or cruise packages, these are not readily available online, so you’ll have to get in touch with them to discuss your options.

It’s a good thing that they are open 7 days a week since it’ll give some clients a chance to consult about their trip over the weekends.

We also appreciate their 24/7 helpline with agents on standby to help you out during your trip.

However, we heard some complaints about poor customer service, particularly with lack of flight confirmations and being unresponsive with follow-ups.

On a better note, they offer 3- to 24-month easy payment plans to help you proceed with your trip.

A word of caution: for those who need to rebook or cancel their flights or plans due to unexpected reasons, we discovered that their refund processing is slow. Some clients had to wait up to 8 months to get their refund.

Finally, for clients who need extra security for their travels, you can also apply for their travel insurance, and you can also opt for a financing plan to pay off the insurance.

6. SellOffVacations

Services: Flights, hotels, cruises, travel deals

Website: https://www.selloffvacations.com/en/               

Address: 4307 130 Ave SE #72, Calgary, AB T2Z 3V8

Contact Details: (403) 277-7913; [email protected]          

Operating Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM; Thursday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM; Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Wide selection of deals
• Online bookings for different services
• Over 30 years in the industry
• Payment plant available
• Complaints on customer assistance
• Some reports of bad reception

For over 30 years, SellOffVacations has been providing Canadians with travel services across North America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe.

They have a vast selection of deals by vacation types, season, destination, and top resorts. You can easily scroll through their page to see the rates and inclusions, which is convenient.

Their last-minute inclusive deals for trips departing in 2 to 4 weeks are also posted, which can help you save up to 50% for each trip while going on a spontaneous adventure.

We also think it’s convenient that they have an all-inclusive online booking system, which includes flights, hotels, and cruises.

If you need help with your travel expenses, you can avail some of the financing options the agency offers, where you can extend your payment up to 24 months.

Considering the number of deals and packages they offer, we appreciate their user-friendly and straightforward website.

However, we’ve heard complaints about their poor customer services and non-accommodating staff, especially with clients encountering booking errors.

There are also reports about clients’ poor experience when enquiring through a phone call. So we advise clients to personally visit their office for better consultation, as mentioned by many previous clients.

Overall, this is a go-to agency for quick transactions and last-minute trips.

Compared to booking online, hiring a travel agency can save you time since they are the ones responsible and more knowledgeable in dealing with your travel matters from plane tickets, and transportation to accommodation.

Yes, travel agents are permitted to charge a counselling fee.

Travel agents usually receive exclusive daily deals that aren’t accessible to the public, and they can make calls or communicate with resorts and hotels for better deals.

Aside from their reputation, it’s ideal for you to receive complete details in writing about the trip before payment. It should include the total price breakdown, service charges, and any specific information necessary.

Whether it’s a Chinese, Indian, or multicultural travel agency, using any for your next trip has pros and cons. Here, we’ll weigh them both, so you can manage expectations.

• Another person plans your trip: Using a travel agency ensures convenience. Just let them know where you want to go and when you’re going to travel, and they’ll take care of everything on your behalf.
• Price: It’s easy for travel agencies to snag you cheaper, better-bundled deals on your trip. Letting them plan your travel usually means more savings.
• You have an ally: Travel agencies are always on your side, meaning they can help sort things fast, like when the hotel loses your reservation or an airline cancels your flight.
• Prioritizes your happiness: Airlines and hotels don’t care when you rebook or cancel, as they can always make profits from other travellers. This isn’t the case with travel agencies. They have a limited number of clients and will strive to make every client happy to earn repeat business.
• Another person plans your trip: Other travellers love the experience of planning their trips and wouldn’t want an agency to take control.
• Consider another person’s availability: When you travel by yourself, you can do anything anytime, anywhere. With a travel agent, you’ll have to consider another person’s availability. For instance, if you want to visit Hawaii at 3 PM on a Sunday and book a flight at that very moment, a travel agent can’t help you. You must wait until Monday morning to have a travel agent book your flight and accommodation.
• Find an agent: Finding a travel agent who is experienced in the kind of travel you enjoy requires patience and time — things that not all travellers have.

Is It Worth It To Use a Travel Agency?

The short answer is yes. Using a travel agency is worth it, especially if you’re planning on a complex or expensive trip, a honeymoon, or travelling in a group. Travel agencies have access to various deals and bulk-buying options, which solo travellers don’t.

Additionally, travel agencies are perfect for individuals who don’t want to stress out planning a big, complicated trip. Travel agencies guarantee peace of mind as they’ll handle everything for their customers — from spending hours researching the best flights to booking day tours.

Find The Best Travel Agency

The benefits of using a travel agency outweigh its drawbacks, so make sure to look for one when next you decide you’re travelling. By working with one of the best travel agencies in Calgary, your next trip could surely be one for the books!

Booking with travel agents is usually cheaper than booking online, as agents have access to many money-saving packages and deals.

It’s better to book with a travel agent as it ensures a better trip without the hassles of planning the trip by yourself. Travel agents can also accommodate your time frame, budget, and interests to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your trip.

The cost of using a travel agency in Calgary is marginal, and some might not even charge you at all. Most of the income of travel agencies comes from commissions the wholesalers and hotels pay them.

Yes, travel agents match online prices, and most of the time, they even beat them by offering cheaper plans!
