I don't understand....Are you looking for a travel agent who will initially bear the expenses of your travel and then you can pay back that amount monthly?

Typically a travel agent will only help in getting your tickets, hotel accomodations, event tickets etc. With in the last decade such travel agents are declining as everything can be done and found online.

Travel Agents are still available in force. The problem is...people contacting them for help only to turn around and book the travel themselves. Most charge to help you look up your trip to ensure that they also can survive and run a business.

I think that's called Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. I have never heard of a travel agent that will book a trip on "lay away" and if you could find one, they would charge you a huge fee and the only fares you could get would be the refundable and expensive kinds.

We left a deposit when we booked a trip through the American Express Travel office on Northpoint Pkwy. They don't charge for their services if you are using AmEx, and I guess you could pay it off before you go if you don't mind the finance charges that will accrue.
