TA: Gets you the same price, but better OBC and options like free gratuities. Usually much more attentive to what you want to do or suggestions on things to do or avoid.

 

They actually don't 'get you free gratuities or better OBC.' Most of the time they take it out of their commission and roll it back to you. Another advantage to allowing one TA to handle all of your travel needs. The more you book with them, the more they will offer you savings by doing things like that for their clients.
