Complicated First and Business * Think of Airfare Brokers

[Nicholas Kontis]

Yes, Airfares are going up this year. Savvy corporate travel agent experts and corporate travelers

can save a ton of money by going through a broker. As seen in newspapers such as the New York

Times, Wall Street Journal, The Robb Report ect. Many times these brokers through years of expertise can take advantage of lower currencies or just knowing different ways to issue an airline ticket in perhaps

a more creative way to save you money. Savvy Corporate U.S. travelers have been using brokers for years to issue there tickets. Think of an example of traveling from Jfk to Stockholm to Doha to Brisbane to Jfk. I was able to save a ceo over $2,000 by creatively breaking this trip into 4 tickets. Many travel agents already buy from brokers and sell to there corporate accounts.

Watch out when there are problems. Many airlines severely restrict reticketing options and change options on the broker tickets.
