Some food for thought this Friday 💭

That cheap flight hack? It might cost you the whole ticket.

Travel professionals are quietly cleaning up the mess while influencers go viral.

Across TikTok and Threads, so-called “travel hacks” are spreading like wildfire—promising cheap flights if you:
– Hold and cancel bookings until the price drops
– Book a return ticket and skip the second leg
– Use AI prompts to outsmart the system

Here’s the thing:
They’re not clever. They’re risky.
They break IATA rules, manipulate fare systems, and leave travellers exposed.

The consequences?
– Bookings cancelled without warning
– Loyalty miles deleted
– Travel agents fined for actions they didn’t cause
– Airlines deploying AI to hunt it all down

And when the airline clamps down, it’s not the influencer paying the price. It’s you.

If you want a real travel hack:
– Use a travel professional who knows the rules
– Be flexible with dates and routes
– Understand what you’re booking
– Value people over algorithms

Travel isn’t broken. It’s just being misused.

Travel agents on strike? Never - we care too much about our loyal clients ❤️ Some food for thought on this beautiful and sunny Tuesday ☀️

Picture this: a world where travel agents, en masse, hang up their headsets, close their booking platforms, and—dare I say it—put their “Out of Office” on for real. Not for a Maldives escape.
