Me and my fiancé are looking up different airlines and their prices for her trip out here in the next coming months. We go directly to the airline website. We're now considering going through some travel agencies mentioned in this forum before. Can you guys share any of your experiences especially if you've used one of these agencies below:

What I am worried of is if they are legit and if there won't be any issues if we do book with them. I hear they also give good discounts to first time immigrants. Is this true?

Thanks for your replies!

Ema tried talking to a girl at Reliable last week and then on the yahoo chat last night. The girl said she had sent an email to her last week, but never did. The girl then logged off while Ema was talking to her.

I sent St Raphaels a email last night using their feedback form, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Talked to both of them, but ended up working with St. Raphael's. This one I can speak for as being legit and we got the deal on 1st time immigrant as advertised. They worked with us as our process getting through the sputum and waiver issues caused delays, the St. Raph was as flexible as possible and took out much stress from the process. Two thumbs up on them!! :thumbs::thumbs:

I talked to Reliable Services as well but the price they quoted me is almost the same as if I booked it directly on the airline website. I have also sent an email at St. Raphael's but has not gotten a response yet. St. Raphael's seems to have great prices on their homepage.
