There are a few places where one may go to achieve travel agency training. One can try a community college or an online course. Failing that, they can also try to learn on-the-job.
http://www.homebasedtravelagents.org/ is one of the top online programs to become a travel agent. There is no official travel agency schooling but a degree in communications might help.
There are many different ways one might find a good package for vacations in Florida. One such website is the Travelocity website, that puts in the effort a travel agent might.
If you are buying the ticket from a travel agent, it might be possible to ask the agent to reserve the seat for you.
A good travel agent must, above all, be highly knowledgeable in the workings of their field and of the travel industry. Travel agents must be able to answer any and all questions that their clients might have during the process of preparing for their trip.
The travel agencies used to make their money by selling airline tickets to a customer... and adding a commission to the price of the ticket. That was paid by the airline or the ticket-buyer. It was their payment for a service rendered to the customer (and a service for the airline since the airline wants to fill the planes). If the commissions are low, it is cheap to use a travel agent. it might save a flyer 1 hour on the phone to the airline. She just calls the travel agent to do that. If commissions are high, a buyer will avoid the travel agent. The airline will avoid the travel agent. Unless the agent does enuf extra work to justify the high commission.

There are many agents one might choose to go through when looking for a competitive rate for the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. A travel agent on the Tripadvisor website is likely one's best option.
For all practical purposes, a travel agent who works for a higher level person such as a manager or owner can succeed in obtaining a higher salary. Disregarding any incentive plans the employer might have, the travel agent is a sales person in a manner of speaking. The more clients that walk in the door, and leave with a travel package suggested by the travel agent the better the chances for higher pay. The travel agent must enjoy working with potential tourists and be knowledgeable with a variety of vacation destinations. The "ins and outs" of a travel destination is needed to help a potential tourist buy the travel packages the Agency is providing. It's always a good idea also, to have been a tourist in the places that customers frequently like to travel to. Other things such as being accurate and patient when dealing with potential customers are important.
