It depends on how much time you want to put into it  I travel alot and have only used an agent  once.  I don't think you necessarily get better deals.  They are useful if you are going somewhere fairly remote or multiple destinations.  If you already know where you are going, I'd check travel deal sites and a couple agents to compare pricing.

So funny to see this post b/c FI and I were just talking about this yesterday-whether or not we want to go through a travel agent.
I think it would be helpful for us since we are having trouble deciding where to go.

We used a travel agent and it was a good decision for us. He helped us pick what resort to stay at based on our needs, most of the travel agents have traveled to a lot of these places so they know a lot of ins and outs. He also came in handy when we had issues with the airline on our honeymoon he took care of everything and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
