    How about asking if they could work on a weekend? I don’t know about a list of high street travel agents as I don’t know where abouts your friend is. Use (Yellow Pages online) and do a search.

    don’t stare directly at the sun and ALWAYS use sunscreen

    Have them apply at AAA. That’s a great place to get experience and learn the business. They take people with no experience and they have a great training program.

    Thomas Cook it on line or write to head office as regards her availability.

    Why doesn’t she just go to her local high street and walk into the branches of the travel agents? They can tell her what she needs to do.

    Find a travel agent who wants more staff,then apply

    The most important thing about being a travel agent is an ability to survive on very low pay.

    This is the website of the International Air Transport Association. Ask your friend to visit the Training section of this website and enrol for the Foundation Course, which is home-study course and costs abouut US$ 300. A certification from IATA after passing the Foundation Course successfully will launch your friend in the travel agency/ airline career.
