"Travel + Leisure"A seat on a sold-out flight. A beachfront room at a hot new resort. That elusive cabin upgrade (at no extra charge). These are a few of the things that a great travel agent can secure for a client. In this easy-to-use pullout guide, you’ll find T+L’s 2006 A-List: 125 travel super-agents the best of the best—specialists who always deliver. In the past year, we’ve interviewed hundreds of agents to find out which ones provide unparalleled service and essential advice. Each is listed by area of specialization, with his or her dream holiday included to inspire a trip that may even change your life. We also added five young agents we have our eye on, and surveyed all the A-List agents on their picks for up-and-coming destinations, exciting hotel openings, and new cruise ports, for insights into where you’ll be heading in the months ahead. So get ready to book your next trip.
