Cunha, my travel agent from Iguatemi Turismo

My travel agent is Cunha, from Iguatemi Turismo (tel. 3450-0200). One day I walked into his agency in Shopping Iguatemi, and got my tickets to the U.S. through him. I am pretty sure I am his best customer - I am Executive Platinum in the American Airlines AAdvantage frequent flier program, and I fly internationally almost every month. I wouldn't say that Cunha is the best travel agent, but he is reasonably reliable. I don't feel he calls me back quickly enough, but I still stick with him because he is a known quantity.

For domestic travel I sometimes use Kontik at the Salvador airport. They will check in for you, so you don't have to stand in line. They will also hold your reservation until the last minute, until you call and request that they e-ticket it. This is useful if you are not sure when you'll be able to get out of a meeting and go to the airport. Unfortunately the Kontik agency at the airport does not handle international travel.

Antonieta, my wife's personal organizer, told me that her daughter is the best travel agent in Salvador, and I should start using her. If I ever do, I will write about it here.
