We sometimes book our own trips, sometimes use an online agent. For a transAtlantic cruise in Sept. we're using an agent. He tells me he may be able to get better, cheaper flights for our cruise because he is a consolidator, or has a consolidator, or something like that. Just curious about a flight consolidator, and how they can benefit us.
Sort of like a broker. They buy tickets in masse or bulk from the airlines then resell them to TA's who sell them to you. Not sure how this saves you as the ticket has been stepped walt disney world vacation packages on twice B4 you pay so there are two profits first.
Some of the consolidators have access to cruise-only air fares. Cruise-only fares are sometimes several walt disney world vacation packages hundred dollars less than the least expensive fares otherwise available. To be eligible for these fares, the client must be going to/from a cruise, and the client may be required to show the cruise documents when checking in for the flights.
It turns out that our TA wasn't able to get our tickets at a good price, even with the consolidator. I went directly through Princess Cruises and got what I feel is a pretty good price. I would like to hear your opinions about our flight costs. I'm still learning. We're cruising from Copenhagen. Our flights from Dallas,layover in Amsterdam, then to Copenhagen, then at trip's end,from LaGuardia,layover in Cincinnati,then to Dallas, were $836 pp, including taxes, etc.
I don't know which specific dates you're traveling. But for next September, I could see availability on consolidator fares from Dallas walt disney world vacation packages to Copenhagen for $586, and then a published fare (that is, a fare that customers can get directly from the airline) for about $70 for LaGuardia to Dallas. Importantly, the LGA-DFW walt disney world vacation packages flight is non-stop, not changing in Cincinnati. Any travel agent would also add a service fee to those fares, as neither pays a commission.
