Startup Idea - Outsource Travel planning ?
jm4: Umm... Like a travel agent? Anyone under 30 might not have ever had to use one. I don't even know how people made travel plans at all without an agent before all these travel sites existed. I think you had to show up at the ticket counter at the airport or something to buy a ticket. The alternative was to go to an agent's office where they were hooked into some system that let them sell you all kinds of tickets. I never had to deal with that mess, but my parents still use agents from time to time.I agree that travel planning is a drag, but there are a couple reasons people hardly use agents anymore. They're expensive and most travelers want things fast and cheap. It's how airlines like Spirit (who I like to refer to as the "Greyhound of the Skies") manage to stay in business.You've got your work cut out for you. There's already a solution to this problem. The only real opening you've got is the ability to provide something comparable at a very low cost.
