As travel begins to make a comeback, there are many questions when it comes to preparing for future air travel. Tour operators have had to face many difficult decisions and challenges while balancing staffing and planning for the future. In addition, it has become more difficult for group customers to make bookings as the airlines have implemented new policies and fees to protect against future cancellations. While tour operators and travel planners are well-versed in adapting to changing environments, lacking favorable booking terms coming out of a pandemic is a hard pill to swallow.
When you are ready to book future air travel, a few items to keep in mind:
- Tip 1: Understanding booking terms, policies, safety measures, and protocols for each airline.
- Tip 2: Knowing the fee structure, penalties, and timeline each airline has implemented for future bookings.
- Tip 3: Working with an air partner to gain access to favorable terms and net (discounted) fares to provide your customers with the best pricing and itinerary options available on the market.
