based on my experiance...Travel agent always cheaper than airline website. Many a times a i get flyer from airlines with cheapest price but when i calculate the total price after adding the surcharges and than call my travel agent. To my surprise, he is always cheaper. And in any case, if he is expensive, he always explains that the ticket offered by him is all inclusive and no hidden charges. Wheres as airline website offers comes with restriction such as fixed date, high fee for changing the booking etc.
So for me...so far tracvel agent has always offered me cheaper price.
