I always check all of these sites and play around with different dates to find the best fare before I buy my ticket. If you want to use a travel agent, I have found that Hobbitt Travel (800-916-0000) works at getting the best price. It would be worth asking them to check the fare from CCS-PMV separately from the trip to CCS.

There are direct charter flights to Margarita from Toronto and Montreal on Air Transat, from Amsterdam on Martinair and from Frankfurt on Condor. For cheap flights from the U.K. try Westernair Charters and Charter Flight Centre.  For a list of all international airlines that serve Caracas airport and info on airport taxes go to CCS Airport Info.
 

Here is a website for a travel agent in Margarita that gives online quotes L & L Tours. It appears that they only give quotes for flights up to 60 days in advance. Be sure to use the dd/mm/yyyy format (not the US format) or you will book the wrong date. For online ticketing from Caracas to Margarita, you can also try Aeropostal, Ascerca, Laser, Avior, and Avensa however their online fares are often higher than buying at the ticket counter and some of these sites have glitches. I recommend that you go by air but there is also a ferry that goes directly to Margarita that leaves from a terminal near the Caracas airport on Mondays and Fridays. They have a webpage in Spanish for ferry info at Conferry.com There are several ferries a day leaving from Puerto la Cruz but you can often find airfares that are comparable to the combined price of the ferry and bus and save a lot of complications.
