I planned an once-in-a-lifetime trip for my two children and me to South Africa a few months ago. I used a travel agency to book my airline tickets.

My travel agent told me the flight was made with American Airlines. As the date got closer, I called American and was told the booking was there but hadn’t been paid. I was very upset and immediately confirmed and paid for the reservation. It was start of a fiasco.
