We are able to provide you with fast and accurate information if we know where you're departing from. Many times, we receive email requests with very little information. This slows the process down. If we have certain information at the outset, we can respond quickly to your requests. Secondly, we use the contact information to send you updates on travel deals and specials. We DO NOT sell or trade our mailing lists!
