Q I want to go to New Zealand via Singapore in business class in January.

What tips do you have for choosing a travel agent?

How can I choose a good travel agent that will recommend flights and be able to book first-night hotels, etc, without ripping me off? I am quite prepared to pay for this expertise, but my experience so far has been poor, with agents simply seeming to push whatever earns them the highest commission.
