Hey guys,
I just wanted to pass on some info that might prove to be helpful. I having been talking to a guy here in Tulsa who has his own travel agency. The interesting part is that this guy is from BAQ! We do have a lot of Mexicans here in Oklahoma these days, but I have never met a Colombian that lived here, until now. He told me that he has been here for 7 years. Anyhow, the reason I am mentioning this is he told me that if any of the posters on this board wanted to call him, he is very competitive; and he can work nationwide. I will tell you what he did for me,and then you can decide if you are interested. I will fly out on May 24 to Houston, then Panama, and then Cali. I am taking Continental in the States, and flying Copa from Panama to Cali. I am returning on June 2. I paid $640 roundtrip. What do you guys think about that price? Last year, I took AA, and I paid around $680-$700. I realize that the many posters here are scattered across the country. So, naturally, you will have to deal with that. But, I just thought that if you were not happy or comfortable with who you are using now, you might want to give this guy a call. Here is his info:
Atlas Travel

Let me know if anyone calls him, and especially if you use his agency. I don't make any claims, other than my own experience. But, since he is actually from Colombia, I felt he would understand the travel arrangements better than your garden variety anglo/gringo.
Oh, by the way, he is also active in booking tours, etc. And he does a lot of bookings to Peru and Argentina. Apparently, there are a lot of guys dating or married to Peruvian girls here in Tulsa. There used to be an agency based from here named Christina's that specialized in Peruvian girls. But, they are now out of business. I met the owner and his wife several years ago. He had a bad reputation, but I digress. This travel agency could possibly save some of you some money. That is all I was trying to say.
