☠ Travel Agencies — don't use them!

I always book flights directly with the airlines, but my mom went through a travel agency this time because flights were cheaper. Well, I'm having to change my flight because I need to come home earlier than originally planned and, oh, guess what? The travel agency wants to charge us not only the difference in price between flights, but $220 just to make the changes. It ends up being cheaper to just book a new one-way trip on my own and not even cancel my old flight.

Yes, that's right. It's cheaper to not cancel my flight. So why they hell would I cancel it? I just booked a flight for $295 because it was cheaper than the $356 it would have cost me to make changes through the travel agency. So now I have two return flights.

WHAT THE HELL?

How do they get off on charging such ridiculous fees? Why would anyone put up with that? Oh, and not to mention the $60 they charge upfront just for you to talk to them on the phone. What an effing rip off.
