Travel agent commissions are dictated by the travel suppliers. In most cases the
higher volume of business that is done with a supplier, the higher the commissions.
Commissions
vary by supplier, and with Atlas are generally higher but as an industry standard
you will normally get :
HOTELS 10% - 20% CAR RENTALS 10% - 20% CRUISES 10% - 20% TOURS 14% - 20% INTERNATIONAL AIR 10% - 40% TRAVEL INSURANCE 20% - 40%
Since most airlines no longer pay a commission to travel agents it has become necessary to implement service fees on airline tickets issued through Atlas. Atlas requires that an independent contractor charge a minimum of $10.00 per airline ticket issued. We believe this fee to be very low and will only cover the expenses associated with issuing airline tickets. We know that if you check around with other travel agencies in your home area you will find that they charge much higher fees for issuing airline tickets. Most travel agencies charge between $20 and $35 per airline ticket. You are allowed to set your service fees as you see fit but they must be a minimum of $10.00 per ticket. This service fee is then split between you and Atlas as a commission.
We deal with every major travel supplier in the world but just to
name a few :
Carnival Cruise Lines America West Vacations Auto Europe WindJammer Cruises United Vacations Norwegian Cruise Lines Apple/Sunbird Tours AERO Mexico Vacations Fun Jet Vacations Royal Caribbean Cruises Princess Cruises American Express Vacations Delta Dream Vacations Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays GOGO Tours New York Hit Show Tours Celebrity Cruises Club Med Resort & Cruises
