[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband and I have decided to try and spend 2-3 weeks in Hawaii in January. We are late to the game and finding rentals/airbnb very hard to find. Since we can't find any decent condo rentals, we'd like to switch to resorts, and I'd like to get some advice from a travel agent. I've contacted 2 and not even a response. We're looking at 4+ star properties and will likely island hop. I'm happy to pay a flat fee and book my own. Do travel agents not do this anymore?[/quote]

1) Thanksgiving is a significant holiday. When did you contact them? 
2) You can't find airbnb availability because it is all booked. The resorts are not going to be any different -- they are booked as well. Is there still space? Perhaps, as hotels do hold rooms back -- but those rooms are going to be given out on a VIP basis. Meaning to VIP TAs, and the TAs are only going to give it to VIP clients they have been working with for years who use them many times per year. And it is going to cost $$$$.
3) The fact that you say "4+ star properties" for a very last last minute trip to Hawaii at high season tells me that you are not the ideal TA client; you likely think you have a large budget when it is actually a tiny budget given the context (context being: very late to the game, expecting a TA to find you something in Hawaii in January).
