Too weird. I sent emails to 4 travel agents I found on Dave's about getting a one-way ticket home and they've ignored me. Anyone have troubles like this with travel agents? My school said I could shop for my own ticket. They'd refund me later.

Yes. It's best to give them a call, otherwise you could have a longer wait ahead of you.
Good luck.

Always better to call Dev.

Emails tend to take longer...

Kangsan travel have always given me very quick replies to emails. So, give them a go.

I've used them three times and they've been fast and reliable.

They're one of the culprits.
I finally heard from all the travel agencies, but it took them 1 1/2 days to reply to emails. I guess this is their busy season.

Anyone needing service - my advice - forget about email unless you can wait.

I thought you were talking about waiting a week orsomething. 1.5 days is pretty good in the peak season.

I will rephrase my position here Dev.

1 and a half days wait!!! You are pretty sensitive... Laughing

Good lord...did you expect an instant email back with quotes. Agents have to work you know and you are not their sole customer. A wait of a day and a half is completely acceptable. If your needs were urgent then you should perhaps have called?
