Incorrect. Airlines no longer PAY commissions to Travel Agents, so they make
zero. Most Travel Agents charge a small fee to do air travel, since that
happened.
I would count a bad travel agent as one who does not know enough to get you
the best value for you, not limit it to whether they charge a fee for something
that they don't get a commission for.
