You don't use a travel agent to get a better fare or more perks (although that might be the case). You use one because he or she is knowledgeable about travel. Also, if you are in a foreign country and you have a problem do you want to try calling that online discount agency or your local Costco travel center for assistance? How do you think that will work out for you? Most agents nowadays are home-based and will give you their cell number "just in case" ...
