Travel Agency-The Cranky Concierge

note: all images off Cranky Concierge site



I don't know if I mentioned this, but I have recently started work as a part- time intern for a travel agency, The Cranky Concierge. I decide to do a profile on it for the readers of this blog (few in number as you are). The Cranky Concierge is a revolutionary new travel business, started by my fellow aviation enthusiast, Brett Snyder, creator of the Cranky Flier blog. The service can be had for as low as $25, and offers the most comprehensive help in the travel industry.

What makes the Cranky Concierge different from all the other travel agencies out there?
First of all, the Cranky Concierge doesn't provide traditional travel agency service. We are not going to find you a hotel room, rental car, or group discounts for tourist attractions. What we will do, however, is provide you with peace of mind as you travel. From the start, we give you discounts for other travel sites, such as expertflyer and KVS tool which allow you to check availability and airfares. From there, we search for the lowest fare possible under your conditions, and the onboard product that best suits you. We then show you where to book, and answer any questions before you fly. On the day of travel, we send you a pre-flight email with your flight info, and follow your aircraft and weather patterns in order to find any potential delays, and research other travel options. If by any chance you are stranded, we will search for alternatives to get you home, including other modes of transport. If we can't get you out quickly, we'll find restaurants and hotels for you to help pass the time. And if something does go wrong, after your trip, we'll research what the airlines owe you, and help in drafting complaints. 

How much will it cost you?
The Cranky Concierge is one of the most affordable travel services out there, with prices ranging from $25 for basic assistance, to just $100 for global assistance the day before travel!!

Emergency in Eureka

Cranky has always been our go-to guy for advice on how to travel. Never has that been more true than when my stepfather died unexpectedly while I was out of town in Eureka, California. Obviously I was online, searching through various sites looking for a reasonable way to get out of Eureka to the east coast, and then back to Los Angeles. This was complicated by the fact that I didn't know how long I'd have to be out there. Frustrated with the lack of clarity I felt about the situation, I called Cranky. He immediately suggested that instead of booking both flights I just concentrate on getting to Washington D.C. one-way. He also pointed out that if I could fly to Baltimore, I could save $300 and arrive at the same time.

This turned out to be exactly the right thing to do. I didn't have to worry about when I was coming back, or change fees, or finding one airline that both flew out of Eureka and could get me back from D.C. to Los Angeles. When the time came to fly back I was able to book another one-way flight, and the total I spent on both flights was actually lower than the cost of the flights I'd been looking at before talking to Cranky. In addition I was able to book the return flight out of Reagan National airport, which was more convenient. That wasn't even an option in the plans I had been looking at before.

In short, Cranky knew exactly the right thing to do, and helped me make a difficult situation much easier, and saved me about a hundred dollars besides. Cranky, I owe you dinner.
