Hello:

I am looking for advice on getting the best deal on flights from Minneapolis MN to San Antonio Tx end of January.

Should I just book through hotwire? If so should I do hotel/plane/car all at once through hotwire???

Any advice is appreciated.

I found a flight itinerary from ita matrix that I have to bring to a travel agency for them to produce. Any idea or other information on which travel agencies are good at fulfilling itineraries derived from ita matrix? Any other info. I should be aware of?

THANKS!
I looked at your dates using the usual flight search engines and they seemed to point to Qatar Airways. Looks like one connection in the U.S. and another in Doha each way. As of today, I get $1293 CAD return.

No need for travel agency (unless some rare conditions).
Just try to book the same flights from (one of) involved airline directly.
If not, tryu to get the same ticket from Google Flight and they will tell you
where you can find this price.
And another option is:
https://bookwithmatrix.com/
just copy-paste whole ItaMatrix result page and see the outcome.

Cheers!
