What is an Airfare Consolidator?
Consolidators sell a
tremendous amount of plane tickets. Through their volume they obtain highly
discounted contracted rates directly from the airlines. These rates are
negotiated usually 1 year in advance and may change slightly within that time
based competitive factors. We purchase these tickets for our clients because
they are cheaper and we make more money than buying directly from the airline.
Consolidators will only deal with Travel
Agents If you have not already

Why do the
Airlines Sell
to Consolidators?
By selling excess capacity
at reduced prices to wholesale air consolidators, an airline
can sell tickets that otherwise might not be sold. Wholesale
consolidators then resell these consolidated tickets to
retail consolidators and to approved travel agencies. This
results in cheap airfares for you.
The Consolidated airfares change
from minute to minute and are based upon demand. Its like an
"Airfare Stock Market"
Very few companies take the time
to up date the Consolidated Airfares online through out the day.
Its just too time consuming. So many times unless the
fares are in the consolidators database, we must call the
consolidator directly. This process can take a half a day to complete. Most consumers
want their Tickets NOW. When dealing with Consolidated Airfares,
patients can be a virtue. And Booking 4 to 8 months prior to
your departure can save you up to 40% on your airfares! Click here for
