Hi all - just wondering if anyone knows of a Travel Agent who assist with booking flights but looks at reward flights as well as paying flights. It's quite a length investigation doing it on my own.
I'm not aware of a travel agent who'll do both but there are several services online that will provide reward flight searches for a fee. These are typically flat fee services that are around $100-200 per search (paid upfront). There are also community-based approaches like Australian Frequent Flyer but they also ask that you pay at least $29 when someone assists you.
You'll find travel agents, on the other hand, will often do the initial searches/booking for "free" but then will charge a commission at the end of the process instead of upfront.

Have a look at Award Nexus, it is a useful tool in searching for award seating.
