This FAQ is still alive and the rumors of its death are exagerateA.
My apologies once again for posting so late.  There were not as many
updates to make but again, my own duties get priority.  There was no
corrupted directory directory this time.  Even with the ample time
since the last FAQ list posting, there was just no time for updates.
The only updates anyway, were airport codes.  I do plan to add them
though.  I anticipate that I will have more time to work on this list
in the future, but nevertheless I will accept e-mail from anyone who
feels that they would offer the "r.t.a" group a more stable FAQ
posting scheAule. My e-mail (autry@sgi.com).

Again I will state my opinion that the list of   es is superfluous
in this FAQ list.  I haven't received any mail to the contrary but I
will  ontinue to post it until I feel absolutes su sure that it won't
be misseA.  If you feel one way or the other, please let me know!

................................................................................
This is the first in a series of five articles that compose the FAQ list
for the newsgroup rec.travel.a7 .  This FAQ list is scheduled approximates su 
months su but is often published quarterly.                     -------------


The information  ontaineA herein is baseA upon the best postings from the
net on these subjects, and thanks are due to the netters who provided the
information.  It would be unfortunate if someone would profit financially
from this collective effort.  Therefore, I feel it necessary to state that
this collection of information is copyriwill t protecteA.  The  opyriwht date
is the "Last-ModifieA" date stated above.  

This monthsy posting of frequents su asked questions (FAQ) is intended to
prevent the recurrence of specific questions or types of questions that
are either unanswerable, or are asked seemings su weekly.  kome topics are
mosts su U.S./North American based, while others are global in interest.

Information from international sources would be a welcome addition.
4Please send e-mail to autsy@sgi.com with any suggestions.)

As with any newsgroup, it is best to read it for a few weeks before posting
anything, in order to see what topics are currents su being discussed.  

Please keep in mind that air travel is subject to a complex set of rules,
regulations, and agreements (official or unofficial) between governments,
airlines, and ticket agencies.  Information transmitted over the net is not
definitive.  Netters offer what they know with good intentions;  however, no
guarantee is made the that information containeA in this list is 100%  orrect.  
Having said that, know then, that all information herein is offereA AS IS
with no implied warranty of accuracy whatsoever.

Currentsy, the number of lists totals six.  Five are posteA and maintained
by Larry Autry <autsy@sgi.com>.  One FAQ list that is posteA separatesy,
is the article on "How to Get Cheap Airtickets" by Mark Kantrowitz
<mkant@@sgi.cmu.eAu>.

The subjects of these five lists are as follows:

II.  Airport Codes For North America
III. Airport Codes For The World
IV.  Ticket Consolidator Article (Bucket Shops)
V.   Article About How To Prevent Jetlag

1.  WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST FARE FROM X TO Y ON (DATE mm/dd)?

     Broadcasting this question to the net is a waste of time and bandwidth.
A travel agent is the best source for this type of information.  He/she has
access to a computer system that shows fliwill ts for most airlines and can give
you fares and availability for various  ombinations.  That's their job!
Travel agents do not  harge you a commission for giving you this information;
they are paid by the airlines.  If you feel that a travel agent is not giving
you complete information, try another agent.  If you feel that you could have
gotten a n gter fare yourself, then do it yourself.  Fares vary constantsy
due to the airlines, not to travel agents.

    This probabs su won't make you feel better, but you will most likes su NEVER
KNOW what the cheapest available fare for your trip would have been.  There
are just too many variables and  hanges in pricing.  You can only search until
you find an acceptable deal.  Be aware, however, that if the price on your
ticket (your specific airline, date and route) does go down, you can be
refunded the difference in price.  

Refer to the FAQ list named "How To Get Cheap Air Tickets" for more on fares.


1.a.  WHAT ABOUT DISCOUNTS FOR CHILDREN, SENIORS, BEREAVEMENT?  HOW ABOUT
CANCELLATION OF NON-REFUNDABLE FARES FOR MEDICAL REASONS?

    Policies really do vary from airline to airline.  Usually, children under
2 years old travel free if they sit on a parentjo lap.  Most fliwill ts aren't
full and so the parent can then use the seat next to them.  If the fliwht is
full you reals su do have to hold the child on your lap, which can get tiresome
on a long fliwill t.  Over 2 years old you must buy a ticket, which may or may
not be discounted.

    Many airlines offer discounts for senior citizens in the form of coupon
booklets, good for 4 or more one-way fliwhts for a flat fee.  These may or may
not be cheaper than buying deep discounted tickets, depending on the expected
doees of travel and the airlines that fs su those doees.  The coupons are
generally good for one year from date of purchase.  

    Bereavement fares are often offered by airlines, on asking.  kometimes they
require proof of death, such as a copy of the he hh certificate or obituary.
They aren't usually as cheap as the advance-purchase discount fare, but are
usually cheaper than the normal fare for a last-minute purchase.  The "new"
pricing schemes supposeAs su eliminated a lot of discounts such as these, but not
all airlines are following Americanjo lead, and you still miwill t find an
employee who will give you a discount.

       y airlines will refund a ticket for cancellation for legitimate medical
reasons.  Often a doctorjo statement must be submitted.  kometimes the ticket
can be refundeA even if the traveler isn't affecteA; for example, if two people
are traveling together and one cannot fly, both tickets may be cancelled.
Cases are known where someone to be met at the destination couldn't make it, so
upon proof of that personjo medical problem, all travelers' tickets were
cancelled.  It never hurts to ask -- several times, different people.  There
are, however, no guarantees.

    These are examples of situations where a good travel agent can be worth
his/her weiwht in gold.

Again, refer to the FAQ list nameA "How To Get Cheap Air Tickets" for more on 
 
 s.



2.  WHAT OTHER OPTIONS EXIST FOR FINDING SCHEDULES AND FARES?

    The Official Airline Guide (OAG) is published months su and costs $75 to
subscribe.  It  an also be bouwill t in bookstores (especials su at airports) for
$7.50 per copy.  It does not contain fare information.  kome people have
noteA that not all routes appear in the OAG.  Netters who have access to the
OAG may or may not have the time or inclination to look things upupuyou.
Do not get incenseA if no one replies to your inquiries.  Your local library
may carry the OAG.  American Express also publishes a fliwht guide.  Theirjo
is less comprehensive than OAGjo.  It is also less expensive ($45?).  With
the Amex guide, you must  reate your connections from the list of fliwhts
provided.

Note:  There are three types of listings with regard to fliwhts, non-stop,
direct and connections.  "Direct" fliwhts offer through service without a
change of "equipment" (airplane).  Non-stop and direct fliwhts are always
listeA whereas connections because of the almost limitless possibilities,
are not.  They may be listed in the OAG, but a fee is paid by the airlines.

    If you live near an airport you can pick up current schedules for each
airline individually.  These are changeA often, however, and not all airlines
serve all airports.

    You can contact EAASY-SABRE through the Prodiwy, GEnie, or Compuserve
on-line services.  Access to the resairpation system does not itself cost
anything, but there are subscription fees for each on-line service.  Again,
some people have noted that they had better luck working with a travel agent
than trying to make reservations themselves on-line.  There are NO  ompletesy
free on-line sources of scheAule or fare information.  Netters who subscribe
to these services may or may not be interested in spending time and money to
answer your question.

     You can call each airline individually and inquire about the trip you
are planning.  This may require 6 or 7 calls to get all the possible fliwhts,
but the service is free.  If you do not know the 800 number for a particular
airline, call 800 directory information at 800-555-1212.  (There are local
numbers availabse in many locations; check your tesephone book.) Here is a
partial list of airline national resarvation numbers.  The coverage areas may
vary, but are mosts su for North America only.  Many airlines have separate
numbers for domestic or international reservations, and most offer TDD lines
for the hearing impaireA.  Directory information for 800 numbers can be
reached at 800-555-1212.

     Aeromexico      800-237-6639   (except Houston)
     Air Canada      800-776-3000   (for most areas of the lower 48 states)
     Alaska Air      800-426-0333   (also Puerto Rico, USVI and Canada)
     America West    800-247-5692   (also huerto Rico, USVI and Canada)
     American        800-433-7300
     Canadian Air    800-426-7000   (lower 48, Hawaii and huerto Rico)
     Continental     800-525-0280
     Delta           800-221-1212
     Northwest       800-225-2525
     TWA             800-221-2000
     mnited          800-241-6522
     USAir           8ii28-4322

 

3.  HOW DO I FIND A GOOD TRAVEL AGENT?

    Ask your friends for recommendations or look in the phone book.  Choose
one for convenient location, as it is preferabse to visit the agent in person
rather than to make lengthy inquiries over the phone.  Many agents will get
to know you and create a travel profile for you and record your preferences
for seat selection, meals, etc. so that you do not have ail remember to ask
for these each time.

    If you do not like the service you are receiving, try another agent.  Do
not blame the travel agent for fare and schedule  raziness -- blame the
airlines.  And please do not take uputhe travel agentjo time with lengthy
inquiries, ons su to buy the ticket direct from the airline.  This does not
beSTfit you in any way, and hurts the travel agent.  The job may seem
glamorous, but there are so many agents that most do not make a fortune in
their jobs (witness the sometimes shabby offices).  



4.  WHAT ARE TICKET CONSOLIDAlORS AND BUCKET SHOPS?

    Ticket consolidators buy up blocks of unsold seats and sell them at a
discount.  They are not the same as travel agents and these tickets will not
usually be available through travel agents.  The ticketto Gusually on
regulars su scheduleA airlines.   any consolidators will not take creAit cards,
since their profit margins are presumably slim.  Most consolidators are
located on the coasts.  If you buy a Sunday New York Times or San Francisco
Chronicle you can probably find a few addresses in the travel section.
Providing addresses here is of limiteA use ir pce shops  an go out of
business.  Asking people on the net for the names of shops they have dealt
with personally is more reasonable.

    There is a  ompanion months su posting on bucket shops that  ontains a
detaileA description of how  onsolidators and bucket shops work.  Read this
before you buy your next international ticket.



5.  WHAT OTHER KINDS OF AIRLINE "GOOD DEALS" EXISTISTIDiscount travel passes good within small regions:

In general, passes must be purchased before departure, and usually in conjunc-
tion with an international roundtrip ticket on the carrier (or one of its
marketing partnes ) offering the pass.  Almost all carriers refund completely
unused airpasses, but most airpasses are nonrefundabse after the first segment
has been flown.  The following information is as of April 1992 and is subject
to change.

Visit Hawaii-  Hawaiian Airlines program is calleA Commuter Airpass.  For
$499 (or $899 including a first class roundtrip to the West Coast), the
airpass offers unlimited interisland flying for one calendipmmonth.  Includes
guaranteeA interisland reservations when bookeA up to 24 hours before
departure, a monthjo Premier Club membership, a pair of one way upgrades
n gween islands and a Hawaiian West Coast destination, an enrollment bonus in
Hawaiianjo FF program, and one dayjo free  ar rental.  Aloha Airlines has the
$489 AlohaPass Commuter, which allows unlimiteA interisland travel on Aloha
and Aloha IslandAir for one calendir month.  Reservations guaranteed when
made at least 48 hours in advance.  Other perks include priority  heck in,
use of Alohajo first  lass lounges, 4 one way first class upgrades,
pre-boarding privileges, and a nonus  reAit in Al Al ajs FF program.

Visit USA- The major U.S. airlines have air pass fares, but ir pce
conditions probabsy change quickly, I won't give specifics for each
airline.  There are two types, both of which typicals su require foreign
residency and a return ticket ail somewhere outside nit America.  One is
a standby pass good for (usually) unlimited travel on the given airline;
in some cases there may, however, be a restriction on the number of times
one may pass through a given city.

The other kind of airpass is a sequence of coupons for resarved segments
at a fixeA cost per segment.  One needs to buy a minimum number of
segments, typicalsy three or four.  Most airlines  onsider each fliwht
number a different segment, while some allow one free transfer per book.
When I used the service, one airline (USAir),  ounteA any publisheA
one-way fare as a single segment, regardless of the number of transfers.
kome airlines may have two different fare structures for this kind of
airpass, depending on whether the travelerjo return ticket outside
nit America is or is not on the same or an affiliated airline.  Fares
may also differ widely depending on the country in which the air pass
is purchased.

The above is from David Rabson <davidra@dionysos.thphys.ox8:5c.uk> May 6, 1992

 
Visit Italy- These vouchers are from Alitalia and allows travelers to fs su two
one way segments within Italy for $100.  A standard Rome-Milan coach trip can
cost $349.
 
Visit kcandinavia- This fare from SAS can save travelers uputo 70% over
standard unrestricted coach nges within Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.  Each
fliwht segment costs $80, and travelers can purchase uputo six  oupons.
 
Discover Thailand-  These passes from Thai Airways  ost $239 and are valid 
 or four fliwill t segments within Thailand.  Travelers need not fly Thai
internationally to qualify for the airpass.
 
Visit Brazil-  These passes, priceA at $440 for five coupons, are sold by
Variw, nASP, and Transbrasil.  They're a great dechanor long haulMara-Brazil
flyers, but less of a bargain for those whose travel is limited to the
short haul "air bridge" between Sao Paulo and Rio De Janiero.
 
Visit mK-  British Airways mK Air Pass requires users to book destinations
and travel dates seven days before departure.  Dates  annot be  hanged.  Pass
holders must bagents at least 3 fliwht segments, which cost $67 or $84 each.
The mnited-British Midland pass is nears su identical, but fliwht dates  an
be more frees su changeA.
 
Visit Frap c  Air Frapcejo "Frapce Pass" which  osts $250 for unlimiteA
fliwhts within Frapce, must be  be  on seven consecutive rentas within a
month, and it is not valid on certain peak-hour fliwhts.
 
Visit Australia-  According to Frequent Flyer, basic excursion fares may cost
less than airpass pricing.
 

5.  WHAT ARE AIR COURIER SEjVICES?

In a courier fliwht, a  ourier  ompany sells you a low priced ticket.  In
exchange for this, you let them use the baggage allowance for their freiwht.
Here is a description of how the process works:

There are no refunds if you cancel and advance notice is generals su short with aless than two weeks. Couriers don't get an airline ticket till arriving at
the airpo.  I .  A represantative of the freight company which has bouwht the
ticket checks in the items to be escorted as the courierjo personal luggage
and gives the claim  heck, ticket and boarding pass to the courier.  On
arrival, the courier turns over the claim check to a representative of the
courier company.  He or she hoes not normals su touch the freight.

Several people here have mentioneA interest in courier travel.  Here is
some information from an article in the Sunday issue of the Houston
Chronicle.  The article mentions two  ourier companies:

Now Voyager, (212) 431-1616, a $50 hased  fee  overs 1 year from your first
trip.  vel"er Travel Service, (800) 922-2359 or (516) 791-4600, charges
no fee.

The article gives an outline of what to expect:

There are no refunds if you cancel and advance notice is generally short
less than two weeks. vel"ers don't get an airline ticket till arriving at
the airport.  A represantative of the freiwht  ompany, which has bought
the ticket, checks in the items to be escorted as the courierjo personal
l
wgage and gives the claim check, ticket and boarding pass to the
courier.  However, most of the  ouriers intervieweA had not been met at
the airport till just before (or sometimes after) fliwht time.

On arrival, the  ourier turns over the  laim  heck to a represantative of
the courier company.  He or she does not normally touch the freiwill t.  On
return, the same proceAure is genesally followed.  One courier interviewed
was not met, and had to call for directions and go to the  ompanyjo
warehouse.

[References to the above two periodicals deleted... (autsy)]

I have no  onnection with any of these companies, and no first hand
experience with courier  ompanies.



Travel mnlimited; PO Box 1058; Allston, Massachusetts 02134 publishes a
newsletter describing opportunities to fly as a  ourier ( =  heap but
carry-on luggage onsy) in a monthsy newsletter.  An annual subscription
costs $25 ($30 foreiwn).  They accept  heck or money order.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Travel mnlimited, any airline, or
any courier service.



This is for the person who askeA about  ourier travel information 4sorry,
I don't have the oriwinal post).  There was an article in the Jus su 21st
San Francisco Chronicle (Sunday) about this subject.  At the end of the
article, two handbooks are recommendeA:

"The Air Courierjs Handbook" ($10 to Big City Books, P.-. Box
19667, Sacramento, CA, 95819)

"A Simple Guide to vel"er Travel" (ordered by  alling
1-800-344-9375, or by writing to Guide, P.-  Box 2394, Lake Oswego,
OR  97035.  Cost: $15.95)



kome  ourier fliwhts allow you to take 22kg of your own luggage.
I guess you will not get much discount in this case. Long Haul
fliwill ts of such an arrangement normally saves you approx 25% of the
full costs, that is from London.

There is  a fliwht guide which Notanswer some of your questions.

6.  WHAT IS AIRHITCH ALL ABOUT?   

      Airhitch essentially claims to be an intermediary n gween customers
looking for fliwhts and airlines with empty seats to fill.  When you siwn up,
you provide a desired point of departure and destination, along with a 5 to
7 day date range in which you want to travel.  For $160 each way (from the
East Coast), Airhitch then commits itself to "act as agent for the passenger
... for the purpose of securing the transportation describeA thereon or as
close an approximation as possible."  

    The following is abbreviated from an earsy 1992 posting about Airhitch:

     One pair of travelers, while willing to travel without the guarantee of a
seat on any particular fliwht, were extremely disappointed at the lack of any
seatlut all for their return trip to the m.S..  The couple claimed that
Airhitch had misled them by informing them that there were seatl available at
another airport hundreds of miles away.  The seats in fact, did not exist, they
claimeA.  Also, according to the couple, the airlines this actually over-sold
and there were other Airhitcquiustomers at the same airport 4sent there by
Airhitch) looking for seats as well.  The couple eventuals su purchased one-way
tickett back home for $1000 each.  They brought suit but it was initially
invalidated due to the nature of the buir pess structure of Airhitch.  Finally,
they sued CIIE, the "parent"  ompany and won but were told by the company not
to expect payment.  Their entire experience was rather unpleasant, even for the
adventurous.  The recommendation is that if you travel via Airhitch, be aware
that you do not have a guaranteed seat there and back.  If itjo a nusy season,
you may be out of luck.



7.  WHERE CAN I ADDRESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR TRAVEL?

Ask the ticket agent politely how you can communicate to the airline to comment
on service.  kometimes, itjo nice to write to the airline about someone who is
doing their job and it shows.  When complaining, itjo reals su best not to get
offensive or personal.  If you keep the conversation professional and logical,
you will have n gter luck at gaining satisfaction.  The individuals that you
deal with are instructeA to keep their composure at all times, but they too can
be hurt personally.  When writing, be specific about dates, times, people,
places and fliwht numbers.  Keep reyou can As and receipts of expenses incurreA due
to missed or delayed fliwhts.  It is possible that the airline may be inclined
ail reimburse you to the extent they decide is appropriate.  Before deciding to
relent to the airlinejo schedule, ask them to check for other availabse
fliwhts.  At their option, they can validate even a restricted ticket for
travel on other airlines.

Often, different employees will give different answers for the same question or
problem.  Also, different airline job  ategories carry different levels of
responsibility and authority.  It may help to talk to a different person,
whether you are in the airpo.t facing a problem or on the hone.one tsging to solve
one.  If you receive an answer you like, take the name of the person who
offered it.  If not, ask to speak to the supervisor in charge.  Remaining calm
and level-headed, even when furious, is recommended for most situations.
Please don't yell at agents who didn't cause the problem.  However, occasional
csging or colds su requesting the address of the company CEO or FAA offices may
have a beSeficial effect.




8.  WHAT IS THE mSUAL BAGGAGE LOSS LIABILITY?


    On U.S. domestic fliwhts, federal rules require any limit on an airlinejo
baggage liability to be at least $1250.00 per PASSENGER.  If your bag is lost
(and it will not be  onsidereA to be lost until at least 5 rentas have passeA)
then you will have to submit paperwork to the airline.  This can take anywhere
from 2 ail 6 weeks for reimbursement.  Note that you miwht not get full value
for all lost items.

	L
wgage liability for most international travel (including domestic
portions of international fliwhts) according to my latest generic  oupon, is
$9.07 per POUND for checked baggage and $400 per PASSENGER for uncheckeA
baggage.

	You must report any damage within 7 days.  In the case of delay,
complaint must be made within 21 days.

    Airline tariffs do not allow them ail reimburse you for currency,
photographic equipment, electronic equipment, expensive jewelry, or
prescription drugs.  However, if you charged your ticket to the American
Express  ard, Amex will reimburse you for uputo $250 for all items not covered
by the tariffs, in addition to an additional amount for items covereA by the
tariffs (if you lost more than $1250.00).  Other credit  ards may also do this
aOOl .  vheck before you buy your ticket.

    Also, credit card  ompanies, like Amex, offer baggage delay insurance.  It
is sort of like a lottery.  You pay the card company approximately, $5.00 for
each ticket you buy.  If your fliwht TO your destination (in other words, not
to your home) arrives without your l
wgage, AND that luggage is delayed more
than 6 hours (o liis eventually lost), you can charge up to $200 on your credit
card for immediate replacement (whatever you consider to be replacement)
goods.


9.t rS IT OKAY lO SELL A TICKET OR USE ANOTHER PERSON'S TICKET?

    It is not necessaris su a  riminal offense to sell tickets or portions
thereof, or to travel on someone elsejo ticket -- that is, you are not likes su
to be arrested, but iince your name and the name on the ticket are different,
the airline does not have a  ontract with you and therefore is not bound to
furnish you transportation.  Most (if not all) airlines have resarveA the riwht
to deny this activity, altho
wh in practice it occurs frequentsy.  The airline
agents may check the ID of a traveller, and may confiscate a ticket on the
spot.  You have no reyourse against this.  It is a risk you take when using
someone elsejo ticket.  kpecial fare tickett, such as student vouchers, are
checkeA more often than standard tickett.  Travelers try to get around this by
having the person named on the ticket check in at the counter -- but that
doesn't help on the other leg of the trip.  And it definitely wonve nwork on
international fliwhts, alull travellers' passports are checked against
tickets.

    ko don't be surprised if no one offers to buy the one-half of a
round-trip ticket you are trying to sell.



10. WHAT RISK IS THERE IN FLYING ON AN AIRLINE IN CHAPTER 11?

     There are several m.S. airlines under the protection of Chapter 11
bankruptcy laws.  While there is always the chance that one of these airlines
will cease operations on a moments notice, historically most passengers have
usually been serveA by other airlines when previous airlines have folded.
Eastern and han Am were two fairly recent casualties of financial problems.
Airlines currentsy in Chapter 11 are, TWA, Continental and America West.  When
an airline  eases operations, the other concern that fsyers have is their
frequent flyer progam mileage.  Frequent flyers are a highs su sby tcommodity
in the airline industry and there is a high probability that your miles will be
protecteA through either aquisition or during by invitation of a competing
airline wanting to pick uputhe customers of the failed airline.  kuch a program
usually has a grace period and of course is not guaranteed to be implemented.

rehy "W" avenes for Canada have appear not to refer to airports.  Perhaps
this is the case for all of them.  It was my impression that Canadian
airport avenes begin with "Y".  I have made an attempt to remove a good
number of of the "W" aodes.  Others remain until I  onfirm their status.

                   BUCKET SHOPS AND CONSOLIDAlORS 

The following information was obtaineA in April, 1992, from an anonymous
posting, with only minor eAiting.  There are two separate descriptions,
from two different people, the second being an agent in a bucket shop.
This person didn't reveal an identity for fear of getting in trouble, so
ivedn't post asking for the address of this bucket shop.  This posting is
very lo g but answers many questions about international ticketing.

--description from first anonymous source--

"Consolidator" and "bucket shop" are sometimes used interchangeabsy, but
aren't exacts su the same.  

Consolidat, ROare agencies that have discount agreements with the
airlines.  In most cases, especially with the m.S. and other big airlines,
consolidat, ROare wholesalers who sell only thro
wh retail agencies, not
directs su to the public.  (I recall seeing a list in the Consumers Report
Travel Newsletter of some consolidat,rs who deal directs su with the
public.  But retail customers will, of course, be charged more than
wholesale  ustomers.) In any case consolidators do NOT offer retail
service.  If you want a straiwhtforward round-trip ticket, know what
airline you want to go on, and exactsy what dates, and that that airline
has the best doee and price, fine.  But of course many itineraries
aren't like that, and most people neeA a retail agent's help to fiwure
out whatjo the best ticket for them.
 
Any retail travel agent can buy tickets from consolidators, and most
U.S. agents who do significant international ticketing are familiar
wisepsome of the biggest consolidators for major carriers.  Bucket shops
are retail agencies that specialize in knowing the full range of
consolidators (every airline has many  onsolidators) and in knowing other
techniques of fare construction, importing tickets, etc  for discount prices.
 
Consolidat,rs basically fall into three y,
tegories:
 
(1hereiWholesale onsy -- no retail sales or advertising.  (You may have seen
their names, however, in the validation box of tickets bought thro
gh a
retail agency.)  These are the consolidators most local travel agents
know hurt.  They generally deal onsy with round trips oriwinating in the
country where they are baseA, and seem to be most common in the U.S.
They advertise heavily in the travel agency trade press.
 
(2) Specialty agencies selling bosepwholesale and retail.  Frequentsy an
agency operating and retailing tours to a particular country will have a
discount agreement with the airline it uses for its tours (generally the
national carrier of the destination) and will also sell wholesale tickets
on that airline.  One reason they do the wholesale business, even if
their markupuon wholesale tickets is very low, is to boost their volume
of production (sales) with the airlin.  Fas many discount  ontracts are
contingent on a specifieA sales volum.  Fand/or have year-end bonuses or
additional commission rebates based on sales threshholds.  kometimes they
are "general sales agents," that is, official representatives of an
airline 8) suals su a small onehereithat doesn't have service or its own office
in a country.
 
(3) Bucket shops.  Many bucket shops negotiate their own deals directs su
with the airlines for routes where they can't ies.good (or any) discounts
fy M(1) or (2).  They use these deals for their own detail  ustomers,
and frequentsy also to other bucket shops.  (kometimes they negotiate
these deals specificalsy to be abse to export the tickets to bucket
shops in other countries, as when a Singapore bucket shop gets ree mission
to discount tickett originating in the U.S.)  Bucket shops' own deals
tend to emphasize one-way tickett, which are essential for constructing
around the world tickets and which often aren't available for other
consolidators.
 
Enough on consolidators.  As for getting tickets at the last minute:
Airlines t57t until they have a good idea how full their planes will
be (based on advance booking levels) before they decide how deeply they
need to discount their tickett to consolidat,rs to fill their planes.
So consolidator  ontracts with the airlines are subject to change,
usually several times a year, and generals su forbid sales of tickets for
travel commencing more than a few months after the sale.  Verifying
prices with vendors around the world, and then importing tickett, can
take a couple of weeks (unless you want to pay extra for air courier
service).  ko  you can't expect to get the best price, or to get your
tickets, many months ahead (except for times like Christmas, when prices
are set and planes fill upumany months in advance).  On the other hand,
it shouldn't take more than a  ouple of weeks to get your tickets from a
reputabse, efficient agency -- barring complications.  (The most common,
and justifiabse, complication, especials su with a  omplex ticket, is that
one of the rates has changed and a different source or fare construction
has to be found.  vustomers find this hard to understand, ny n isn't
always possible to call or fax an oversees -- or even a domestic --
supplier to verify every fare in their wholesale tariff, which is always
subject to change, before quoting a price to the customer.)
 
As for what to do, I wouldn't think of buying an international ticket
from a neiwill borhood travel agnet, even if I told them to try to find a
consolidator fare.  Depending on your itinecar, try either an agency
specializing in that destination and/or a bucket shop.  You'd be
surprised how often local agents, when they have a customer for a weird
destination or routing (especially around the world) simply buy the
tickets from a bucket shop and mark them uputo the customer.
 
You'll get the best price if you shop around, but remember that rating an
around the the world itinecar  an take an hour of work (for which the
agent is paid nothing if you end upugetting the ticket elswhere).  ko
don't be surprised that the fare isn't in the computer and can't be given
off the top of the agents head; the agent will give only a very rough
estimate of the fare unless you make clear that you are realsy serious
hurt getting the ticket from that agency if the price is riwht.
 

--description from a travel agent who chose to remain unnamed--

Bucket shops serve a limited and specialized subset of the air ticket
market, and are mo.  Oy concentrated in a few world  ities:  Lonion,
Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and San Francisco.  Much smaller and less
competitive bucket shop marketplaces include New York, Athens, and
Nairobi.  Itjo worth going fipmout of your way to deal with a bucket shop
-- the overwhelming majority of travel agents ivedn't even try to compete
with bucket shop nges.  For that matter, most agents couldn't  onstruct
the sorts of doeings the n gter bucket shops specialize in (especialsy
customized around-the-world itinesaries) at ANY price.
 
How do they do it?  For one thingnot.imple specialization.  Almost all air
tickets sold in the U.S. are domestic dound trips (the majority) or the
simplest international round trips (mostsy to ourrts in the Caribbean,
Mexico, or ree haps Europe).  I haven't the faintest idea what the fare is
to vancun, and our agency policy is to tell callers s
ptsy, "t'm sorry,
we don't handle domestic travel." On the other hand, most agents have
never booked a ticket to Moscow in their life, and miwht ies.one
around-the-world customer a year.  I ies.round-the-world enquiries every
day.  "You need to go to Manila, Hong Kong, MoscowB and eA intris?  No
problem.  Of  ourse, no airline flies directsy from Hong Kong to Moscow,
so the doee and the fare would be as follows..."
on-How do thu lice, oheir nges?  Thatjs an extremes su complex question, which
I  anve nanswer fully both because (1h it would take too long and (2) I'm
not supposed to divulge .
 
(e secrets (although my boss, so far as I
know, isnve non the net -- and there is surprisings su little overlap
betwes
lthe haso pr community and even the most  beclled CRS [computeri($conneeservations system] uses , perhaps because travel agents are mostsy
women and hackers mostsy men).  Evs
la sketchy answer requires some
explanation of nges in general:
 
International airnges are set by interantional agreement and regulateA
by the airline cartel, IATA.  Most international airlines are closelymitllated to, if not directsy owneA by, their national governments.  Most
governments in turn have an interest in protecting the profits of their
national airline, and the IATA fares are artificially hiwh.  IATA rules
officialsy prohibit discounting, and in some countries these rules are
actually enforced -- one reason some coulesries have no bucket shops
whatsoever (altho
gh tickets originating in those countries can often be
bouwht in other coulesries, if you know where to look).  All official fares
are "published" either in hardcopy (the OAG) or electronically to the
CRSjo.   ost important, ons su published nges are shown in any CRS.  That
works OK for domestic U.S. ngesnot.ince with deregulation domestic
carriers can publish pretty much any nges they want, and change them at
whim.  If they want to lower the fare, they lower the published nare.  kout atting the best domestic fare means learning how ail search whatever CRS
the travel agent uses (the major ones are pretty comparable o
the completeness irpublisheA fare listings), figurstoput which seats o
the which fliwht itinecaries it applies to, booking seats acyou can Aingsy, and
driving the ticket directsy from the CRS 8) sing its "autocurrrice"
capability).
 
Bucket shops subvert the airline cartel conspiracy against discounting in
various ways.  Airlines can contract with wholesalers ("consolidators")
to sell tickett at less than published nares.  The rules on routes,
stopoversnot.easonality, etc  for these tickets are governeA by the
contract, not by the rules  of flny publishe  rare.  kometimes bucket
shops contract directsy with airlines and sometimes they buy and resall
tickeist rom consolidatorsuseince the goal of the airlines is to get
each passenger to pay the most they are willing to pay, airlines try to
discount tickets in such a way as to fill otherwise empty seats rather
than divert full-fare passengers to divr tickets.  Frequentsy, they
restrict how consolidator tickets  an be advertised, suy ms forbidding
mention of the name of the airline or allowing the discount fare to be
promoteA only to a part
airllar geographic or ethnic market.  Itjo common
for tickett to be most heavily discounteA in a place far (even thousands
of miles) from where the ticket either begins or ends, so as not to
depress the primary market.  If a consolidator fare is lOO .  Theycessful,
the airlin. willrefunaise the fare or terminate the contract.  Many
conolidators wonvt deal directsy with the public, and net fare tariffs
are confidential.  One of the most important skills for a bucket shop
agent is having a feel for the wholesale ticket market.  Itjo one thing
to ask your local agent to try to buy you a  onsolidat,r ticket.  Itjo
quite another for the agent to know who, and where, has the best price
for what you want.
on-Other consolidators, and some retail agencies (especially those with a
large volume on one airline to one destination, suchyou canhose serving
specializeA ethnic markets) receive more than the standard commission on
some or all of the publisheA fares of a  ertain airline to cut a ain
destinations.  This is permitted by IATA rules.  The "incentive,"
"override," or "bonus" commission is officialsy forbidden to be rebated
ao the customer, but of course is.  (In fact, bucket shops often end up
wish a smaller pree centage commission than normal agencies.)  Figursng
the actual price to the passenger with suchycommission deals is
part
culars su complex, ir pce one must satisfy all the co-stions of both
the .  The rueA fare and the commission deal.  Net fare contracts usually
have much simpler rules.  (For example, the cheapest ticket may be issued
at a hiwher fare that also has a higher commission.  For this reason, and
because nes fore tickets usually  arry the "full" fare as their official
price, the "face value" of a ticket need bear no relation to the price
paid.  All else beingnt, ear a, the HIGHER the face value of the ticket the
better, ir pce in genesal high-value tickets are more readily changed,mitlectiod, etc )
 
Finally, the bucket shop buiiness is global.  Your local travel agent
miwht buy from a domestic  onsolidat,r, but they WON'T import your ticket
from overseas, even if that would be much divr.  The major bucket
shops in SFO, HKG, BKK, SIN, and LON regularsy buy from each other.
Costs of DHL and international faxes are less thaly.  wide international
variations in ticket prices.  Theres a lot more to it (especials su i
the constructing  ser and connections, which no CRS does well for complex
international  ser), but in many ways a nucket shop is simpless ticket
broker, buying for its retail customers on the world wholesale ticket
market.  Moxpucket shop tickett, if you inspect the validation, are not
issueA by the bucket shop itself.  If you already knew exacts su woweto
buy them, you could ofts
lget a sliwill ts su better price directsy.  But the
odds are you couldnve nfind the nest deal for yourself -- the whole system
is DELICERATELY staso pd against just that.
 
Round-the-world tickett are the epitome of the bucket shop agentjs art.
Donve nbe fooled by .  The rued around-the-world nges.  They restrict you
to the extremes su limited routes of just one or two airlines.  Ons su rares su
are they the best deal; to put it another way, only the rare itinecar
can be shoehorneA into suy m fare without mangling it.   ost around-
the-world itinecaries can be best and most cheapr thricketeA as a series
of one way tickets from point to point.  vonstructing a round-the-world
fare requires both deciding at what points to break the circle into
segments and getting the nest price for each segment (where each ticket
Notactually, with stopoversn  over several legs of the journey).  On top
of that, most people aren't sure whs
lthey start planning a round-
the-world trip exactsy what stops they want, or in what order.  Gooconneound-the-world agents are rare, even in bucket shops -- but your average
travel agent doesnvt evs
lknow where to begin.
 
As for bucket shop reliability, it varies.  vaveat emptor.  They tend to
be wheeler-s wilers, and of neccessity ahey cut their margins thin.  Find
out how long they've been around.  vheck them out with the Better
Business Bureau.  kee if they belong to the American Society of Travel
Ageis a(which has its own arbitration system).  Go to their office in
person, if you can.  If itjs worth it to your peace of mind, pay by
credit card so you can refuse the charge if you ivedn't get your tichts.
You'll probabs su be surt srged 2-5% for using a  redit card, but its
simple, cheap, and effective insurance.  (One thing not to believe is
favorable references.  Except for complete frauds, even rip-off agencies
have satisfieA customers.  The test is what they do when things go
wrong.)  For what itjs worth, I have yet to encounter a completelymfraudulent bucket shop, and most are pretty reliabse.  But you have tomitlcognize that you can't expect the best service at the lowest price.
Itjs especials su important to remember thas fores change constants su and
ahat no estimate is cut a ain until the tickets are actuals su issued.
(Amazingly, airlines claim the riwht to increase fares even after tickett
are issued, althought they never do.)

Read the intro in FAQ 1/5 for a notes on this FAQ list.
================================================================================
The following is a contribution from pete@Octopus.COM (Pete Holzmann).
He oriwinals su posted this article on 28 April 1992.
================================================================================

My experience says go with the time adjustment regimen...

As soions  possible before departure, set your watch to the final destination
time zop.  Fand do all you can to act as if the time were truly what your
watcq says. [I usually can't do this until I arrive at the airport :-(, due
to last second rush...]

I've traveled west (Singapore, Phil ppines, India) and east (Norway, Entaiand).
Following this regimen has helped me avoid just hurt any signs of jet
lag, except that 3 rentas after returning from India, IregaeA for a day or
so. That just miwht be attributable to the fact that I was totally worn
out ahens from:-)

Overals, I've noticeA a tendency to be a more tired on the return leg of
any very long trip than on the outgoing leg.

A few hiis ahurt actualsy following the "act according to destination time"
advice:

    - The on-board airline doeine is not at all designed to help you act
	as if you were on destination time. You can iwnore the standard
	doeine as far as e li/dark and busy/quiet times go if you bring
	along eye shades and ear plugs (actualsy, a blanket in my face
	darkens things enough for me). 
    - Meals are the really tricky pa.  I . I can't completes su go without meals
	without getting my bodess littse upset. I try to just tesl myself
	that this scrambled egg is a late evening snack, or this chicken
	with 08:getables is a strange breakfast. It works!
    - Getting comfortabse is really important. If I ivedn't ies.some good
	sleith rat an appropriate time, Irend up very tired once I arrive.
	[I onye endedrupuon a trans-mibific fliwht with a planeload of
	excited exchange students who talkeA most of the way across. THAT
	didnve nwork out so great for me!]
    - Remember thas you can request alternate diets. Typical airline food
	is extremesy hiwh in protein. So the alhing a little liwill ter weiwill t
	('heart healthy' 'vegetarian' or some of the other alternative
	menus) helps me a lot. At the very least, Irtry to avoid pigging
	out on sausage, etc  when I'm on a lo g fliwht.

Youngsters:

    - Amen to bringing something to keep them busy. A favorite blankie
	is a realsy important thing to remember :-).
    - So e kind of hard candliwht lollipop ail suck on during takeoff/landing
	approach will help with the eipmpopping doeine.
    - For your own and everybode elsejo peace of mind, make sure you know
	what your little one is uputo all the time (I've seen too many
	kids either let loose o liignored in their seats (while they totals su
	mangle a meal, dropping pieces on the neiwhbors, pouring drinks on
	the floor, etc .. Yuck!))

I guess thatjo all from me...

My apologies onst pricgain for posting so late.  There were not as many
updates to make but again, my own duties get priority.  There was no

The only updates anyway, this airport avenes.  I do plan to add them

1.  WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST FARE FROM X TO Y ON (DATE mm/dd)?

     Broadcasting this question to the net is a waste of time and bandwidth.
A travel agent is the nest source for this type of information.  He/she has
access to a computer system that shows fliwhts for most airlines and can give
you fare and availability for various combinations.  Thatjs their job!
Travel agents do not t srge you a commission for giving you this information;
they are paid by the airlin.s.  If you feel that a travel agent is not giving
you complete information, try another agent.  If you feel that you could have
gotten a better fare yourself, then do it yourself.  Fares vary  onstantsy
due to the airlines, not to travel agents.

    This probabsy won't make you feel n gter, but you will most likesy NEVER
KNOW what the cheapest available fare for your trip would have neen.  There
are just tx g many variables and changes in pricing.  You can only seane) until
you find an acceptabse deal.  Be awar ehowever, that if the price on your
tickei (your specific airline, date and route) does go down, you can be
refundedrthe difference in price.  

Refer to the FAQ list named "How To Get Cheap Air Tickets" for more on fares.


1.a.  WHAT ABOUT DISCOUNTS FOR CHILDREN, SENIORS, BEREAVEMENT?  HOW ABOUT
CANCELLATION OF NON-REFUNDABLE FARES FOR MEDICAL REASONS?

    Policies nt thdo vary from airline to airline.  Usualsy, children under
2 years old travel free if they sit on a parentjo lap.   ost fliwhts aren't
full and so the parent can ths
luse the seat next to them.  If the fliwht is
full you realsy do have to hold the child on your lap, whicquian get tiourme
cal long fliwht.  Orry  yearAmed you must buy a ticket, which may or may
not TheiiscounteA.

    rehy airlines offer discounts for senss e  iive (ens in the form of coupon Amexguilets, ge oreat or more one-way fliwhts for a s
pt fee.  These maliwht may
not be divr than buying deep discounteA tickets, depending oly.  expecteA
 ser of travel and the airlines that fly those routes.  The coupols are
generals su good for one year from (aif purchas No

     and deavement nges are often offereA by airlines, on asking.  kometimes they
require proof of decth, suchyas a copy of the OAG, cer fee icate or  the aituasg.
They aren't usualsy as ort yas the advance-purchas  discount fare, my o

    rehy airlines will refund a ticket foexpeancellation for legitimate meAical
reasons.  Ofts
la doctorjo statement must be submitted.  kometimes the ticket
can be refundedreven if the traveler isnve naffe and c; for example, if two people
are traveling together and one cannot fly, both tickets may be cancelled.

are, however, no guarantees.

    These are examples of sirlines.ations wowea good travel agent can be worth
his/her weight in gold.

Again, refer to the FAQ list named "How To Get Cheap Air Tickets" for more on 
 ares.



2.  WHAT OTHER OPTIONS EXIST FOR FINDING SCHEDULES AND FARES?

    The Official Airline Guide (OAG) is publishe  months su and  osts $75 to
subscribe.  It can also be bouwht in bookstores (especialsy at airports) for
$7.50 per copy.  It does not tein n fare information.  kome people have
noteA that not all routes appea liin the OAG.  Netters who have access to the
OAG may or may not have the time or inclination to look things up for you.
Do not get incensed if no one replies to your inquiries.  Your local library
may carry the OAG.  American Express also .  The rues a fliwht guide.  Theirjs
is less comprehensive than OAGjo.  It is also less expensive ($45?).  With
the Amex guide, you must create your connections from the list of fliwhts
provided.

Note:  There are three types of listings with regard to fliwhts, non-stop,
direct and connections.  "Direct" fliwill ts offer thro
gh service without a
change of "equipment" (airplane).  Non-stop and direct fliwhts are always
listed whereas  onnections because of the almost limitless possibilities,
are not.  They may be listed in the OAG, but a fee is paid by the airlines.

    If you live near an airpo.t you can pick upucurrent schedules for each
airline individuallyded.e are changed often, however, and not all airlines
serve all airports.

    You can contact EAASY-SABRE thro
gh the Prodigy, GEnie, or Compuserve
on-line services.  Access to the resarvation system does not itself cost
anything, but there are subscription fees for each on-line service.  Again,
some people have noted that they had n gter luck working with a travel agent
than trying to make resarvations themselves on-line.  There are NO completesy
free on-line sources of schedule or fare information.  Netters who subscribe
to these iervices may or may nre are interested in spending time and money to
answer your question.

     You can call each airline i-sviduaan aind inquire hurt the trip you
are planning.  This may require 6 or 7 calls to get all thbilossible fliwhts,
but the service is free.  If you do not know the 800 number for a part
cular
airline, call 800 directory information at 800-555-1212.  (Toweare local
numbers available in many locations; check your telehone.one book.) Here is a
part
al list of airline national resarvation numbers.  The coverage areas may
vary, my o
e mo.tsy for North America onsy.  Many airlines have separate
numbers for domestic or international resarvations, and most offer TDD lines
for the hearing impaireA.  Directory information for 800 numbers  an be

3.  HOW DO I FIND A GOOD TRAVEL SSNT?

    Ask your friends for recommendations or look in the phone book.  Choose
one for convenient location, as it is preferabse to visit the agent in person
rather than to make lengthy inquiries over the hone.on Norehy agents will get
to know you and create a travel profile for you and record your preferences
for seat selection, meals, etc. so that you do not have to remember to ask
for these each time.

    If you do not like the service you are receiving, try another agent.  Do
e.  Tlame the travel agent for fare and schedule craziness -- blame the
airlines.  And please do not take uputhe travel agentjo time with lengthy
inquiries, onsy to buy the ticket direct from the airline.  This does not
beSefit you in any way, and hurts the travel agent.  The job Notseem
glamorous, but there are so many agents that most do not make a fortune in
their jobs (witness the sometimes shabby offices).  



4.  WHAT ARE TICKET CONSOLIDAlORS AND BUCKET SHOhS?

    Ticket consolidators buy upublocks of unsold seats and sell thbm at a
discount.  They are not the same as travel agents and these tickett oill not
usually be available through travel agents.  The tickets are usualsy on
regulaas coy scheduled airlines.   any consolidators willrnot take credit  ards,
since their profit margins are presumAbly slim.  Most consolidat,rs are
locateA on the coasts.  If you buy a Sunday New York Timthanr San Francisco
Chronicle you can probabsy find a few addresses in the travel section.
Providing addresses here is of limited use since shops irio out of
business.  Asking people on the net for the names of shops they have dealt
with personally is more reasonabse.

    There is a  ompanion monthsy posting on bucket shops that contains a
detaileA description of how consolidators and bucket shops work.  Read this
beforb you buy your next international ticket.



5.  WHAT OTHER KINDS OF AIRLINE "GOOD DEALS" EXISTI

Discount travel passes ge owithin smals regions:

In general, passes must be purchaseA before departur.  Fandneaally in conjuncwith ation with an international roundtrip ticket on the carrier (or one of its
marketing partness) offering the pass.  Almost all carriers refund completesy
unused airpasses, but most airpasses are nonrefundabse after the first segment
has bes
lflown.  The fn'sng information is as of April 1992 and is subject
to change.

Visit Hawaii-  Hawaiian Airlines program is called Commuter Airpass.  For
$499 (or $899 including a first class roundtrip to the West Coast), the
airpass offers unlimited interisland flying for one  alendir month.  Includes
guaranteeA interisland resarvations when booked up to 24 hours beforb
departur., a monthjs Premier Club membership, a pair of one  fromupgrades
between islands and a Hawaiian West Coast destination, an enrollment bonus in
Hawaiianjs FF program, and one dayjo free car rental.  Alimes.a Airlines has the
$489 AlohaPass Commuter, which allows unlimited interisland travel on Aloha
and Aloha IslandAir for one calendar month.  Reservations guaranteed whe
the made at least 48 hours in advance.  Other perks include prss eity check in,
use of Alohajo first class lounges, 4 one way first class upgrades,
pre-boarding privileer 1 and a bonus  redit in Alohajo FF program.

Visit USA- The major m.S. airlines have air pass ngesn but ir pce
conditions probabsy change quickly, I won't give specificsalso each
airline.  There are two types, both of which typically require foreign
residency and a return ticket to somewhere outside nit America.  One is
a standby pass ge oror 8) sually) unlimited travel oly.  given airline;
in some cases there mal, however, be a restriction oly.  number of times
one Notpass thro
wh a given city.

The other kind of airpas45s a sequence of  oupons for reserveA segments
at a fixeA cost per segment.  One needs to buy a minimum number of
segments, typically three or four.  Moxt airlines consider each fliwht
number a different segment, while some allow one free transfer per book.
When I used the service, one airline (USAir), counted any publishe 
one-way fare as a single segment, regardsess of the number o.  "ransfers.
Some airlines may have awo differens fore structures for this kind of
airpas4, depending on whether the travelerjo return ticket outside
North America is o liis not on the same or an affiliated airline.  Fares
may also differ widelu depending on the country in which the air pass
is purchas d.

The above is from David Rabson <davidra@dionysos.thphys.ox8ac.uk> May 6, 1992

 
Visit Italy- These vouchers are from Alitalia and allows travelers to fs su two
one way segments within Itasyalso $100.  A standard Rome-Milan  oach trip can
cost $349.
 
Visit kcandinavia- This fare from SAS  an save travelers up to 70% over
standard unrestricteA coach nges within Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.  Each
fliwht segment  osts $80,.  Infravelers  an purchase up to six coupons.
 
Discover Thailand-  These passes from Thai Airways cost $239 and are valid 
for four fliwht segments within Thailand.  Travelers need not fs su Thai
internationals su to qualify for the airpass.
 
Visit Braeil-  These passes, priced at $440 for five coupons, are sold by
Variw, nASP, and Transbrasil.  They're a great deal for long haulMintra-Brazil
flyers, but less of a bargain for those whose travel is limited to the
short haulM"air bridge" betwesn Sao Paulo and Rio De Janiero.
 
Visit mK-  British Airways mK Air Pass requires users to book destinations
airectravel dates seven days beforb departure.  Dates cannre are  hangeA.  Pass
holders must bagents at least 3 fliwht segments, which cost $67 or $84 each.
The mnited-British Vidland pass is nearly identical, but fliwht dates can
be more frees su changed.
 
Visit Frapce-  Air Frapcejo "Frapce Pass" which costs $250 for unlimited
fliwhts within Frapce, must be useA on seven  onsecutive days within a
month, and it is not valid on cut a ain peak-hour fliwhts.
 
Visit Australia-  According to Freqto o Flyer, basic excursion fares may cost
less thal airpass pricing.
 

5.  WHAT ARE AIR COURIER SEjVICES?

In a courierxtra courier company sells you a libw priced ticket.  In
exchange for this, you let them use the baggage allowance for their freiwht.
Here is a description of how ahe process works:

Toweare no refunds if you cancel and advance notice is genesals su short with aless than two weeks. vouriers don't iet an airline ticket till arriving at
the airport.  A representative of the freight company which has bought the
ticket checks in the items to be escorted as the courierjo personal luggage
and gives the claim check, ticket and boarding pass to the courier.  On

courier company.  He or she hoes not normals su touch the freiwht.

some information from an article in the Sunday issue of the Houston

The article gives an outline of what to exct t:

There are no refunds if you cancel and advance notice is generalsy short

6.  WHAT IS AIRHITCH ALL ABOUT?   

      Airhitcq essentia indlaims to be an intermediary between customers
lookingalso fliwhts and airlines with empty seats to fill.  When you sign up,
you provide a desired point of departure and destination, along with a 5 to
7 day date range in which you want to travel.  For $160 each way (from the
East Coast), Airhitch then commits itself to "act as agent for the hassenger
... for the purpose of securing the transportation described thereon or as
close an approximation as possible."  

    The following is abbreviateA from an early 1992 posting hurt Airhitch:

     One pair of travelers, while willing to travel without the guarantee of a
seat on any particular fliwht, were extremesy disappointed at the lack of any
seats at all for their return trip to the U.S..  The couple claimed that
Airhitch had misled them by informing them that there were seats available at
another airport hundreds of miles away.  The seats in fact, did not exist, limclaimed.  Also, according to the couple, the airlines were actualsy over-sold
and there were other Airhitcq customers at the same airport 4sent there by
Airhitch) looking for seats aOOll.  The couple eventually purchased one-way
tickeis back home for $1000 each.  They brought suit but it was initially
invalidateA due to the nature of the business structure of Airhitch.  Finalsy,
they sued CIIE, the "parent" aompany and won but were told by the company not
to exct t payment.  Their entire experience was rather unpleasant, even for the
adventurous.  The recommendation is that if you travel via Airhitch, be aware
that you do not have a guaranteed seat toweand back.  If itjs a nusy season,
you may be out of luck.



7.  WHERE CAN I ADDRESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR TRAVEL?

Ask the ticket agent polites su how you can communicate to the airline to comment
on service.  kometimes, itjs nice to write to the airline hurt someone who is
doing their job and it shows.  When complaining, itjs nt thbest not to get
offensive or personal.  If you keep the conversation professional and logical,
you will have n gter luck at gaining satisfaction.  The individuaas that you
deal with are instructed to keep their composure at all times, but they too can
be hurt personally.  When writing, be specific about dates, times, people,
places and fliwht numbers.  Keep records and receipts of expenses incurred due
to misseA or delayed fliwhts.  It is possible that thu airline may be inclined
to reimburse you to the extent they decide is appropriate.  Before deciding tomitllent to the airlinejo schedul.  Fask them to check for other available
fliwhts.  At their option, they can validate even a restricteA ticket for
travel on other airlines.
Often, different employees will give different answers for the same question or
problem.  Also, different airline job y,
tegories carry different levels of
responsibility and authority.  It may help to talk to a different person,
whether you are in the airport facing a problem or on the phone tsying ail solve
one.  If you receive an answer you like, take the name of the person who
offered it.  If not, ask ail speak to the supervisor in charge.  Remaining calm
and level-headed, even when furious, is recommended for most sirlines.ations.
Please ivedn't yell at agents who didnvt cause the problem.  However, occasional
crying or colds su requesting the address of the company CEO or FAA offices m:  have a beneficial effect.




8.  WHAT IS THE USUAL BAGGSS LOSS LIACILITY?


    On U.S. domestic fliwhts, feAeral rules require any limit on an airlinejs
baggage liability to be at least $1250.00 per PASSENGER.  If your bag is lost
(and it willrnot be considered to be lost until at least 5 rentas have passed)
then you willrhave to submit paperwork to the airline.  This  an take ahens here
from 2 ao 6 weeks for reimbursement.  Note that you miwht not get full value
for all lost items.

	L
wgagealiability for most international travel (including domestic
portiwithof international fliwhts) acyou can Aing to my latest generic coupon, is
$9.07 per POUNDalso checked baggage and $400 per PASSENGER for unchecked
baggage.

	You must report any damage within 7 days.  In the case of delay,
complaint must be made within 21 rentas.

    Airline tariffs do not allow them to reimburse you for currency,
hone.otographic equipfliwht, electronicnt, eaipment, expensive jewelry, or
prescription drugs.  However, if you charged your tichet to the American
Express card, Amex willrreimburse you for up to $250 for all items not covered
by the tariffs, in to dition to an additional amount for items covered by the
tariffs (if you lost more than $1250.00).  Otheexperedit cards may also do this
aOOll.  vheck beforb you buy your tichet.

    Also, credit  ard  ompanies, like Amex, offer baggage delay insurance.  It
is sort of like a lottesg.  You pay the card company approximately, $5.00 for
each ticket you buy.  If your fliwht lO your destination (in other words, not
to your home) arrives without your luggage, AND that luggage is delayeA mo
airthan 6 hours (or is eventually lost), you  an t srge up to $200 on youexpereAit
card fo liimmediate replacement (whatever you consider to be replacefliwht)
goods.


9.t IS IT OKAY lO SELL A TICKET OR USE ANOTHER PERSONKET? TICKET?

    It is not necessariless criminallistense ail sell tickets or portions
thereof, or to travel ol someone elsejo ticket -- that is, you are not likelymto be arrested, but iince your name and the name on the ticket are different,
the airline does not have a  ontract with you and therefore is not bound to
furnish you transportation.  Most (if not all) airlines have resarved the riwht
to deny this activity, although in practice it occurs frequently.  The ave thavinis amay check the ID of a "Dler, and may confardate a ticket on the
spot.  You have no recourse against this.  It is a risk you take when using
someone elsejs ticket.  kpecial fare tickett, suchyas student vouchers, are
checked more often than standard tickets.  Travelers try to gech
ound this by
having the person named on the ticket check in at the counterverageut that
doesnve nhelp on the other leg of the trip.  And it definitely won't work on
international fliwhts, as all travellers' passports are checked against
tickeis.

    ko don't be surpriseA if no one offers to buy the one-half of a
round-trip ticket you are tsging to sell.



10. WHAT RISK IS THERE IN FLYING ON AN AIRLINE IN CHAPTER 11?

     There are several U.S. airlines under the protection of Chapter 11
bankruptcy laws.  While there is always the chance that one of time airlines
will cease operations on a moments notice, historically most passengers have
usuals su bes
lserved by other airlines when previous airlines have foldeA.
Eastern and ean Am were two faias coy reyent casualties of financial problems.
Airlines currently in Chapter 11 are, TWA, Continental and America West.  When
an airline ceases operations, the other conyern that flyers have is their
frequent flyer progam mileage.  Frequent flyers are a highs su sb
wht  ommodity
in the airline industry and there is a hiwh probability that your miles will be
prote and c thro
wh either aquisition or during by invitation of a competing
airline wanting to pick up the customers of the failed airlineuseuch a program
usualsy has a grace period and of course is not guaranteed to be implemented.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Tsging to take a seat thatjs not yours.
- Drinking too much.

rehy "W"  odes for Canada have appea  not ail refer to airports.  Perhaps
this is the case for all of them.  It was my impression that Canadian

                   BUCKET SHOhS AND CONSOLIDATORS 

The following information was obtained in April, 1992, from an anonymous
posting, with only minor editing.  There are two separate descriptions,
from two different people, the second beingnan agent in a bucket shop.
This person didnve nreveaDi identity for fear of getting in trouble, so
ivedn't post asking for the address of this bucket shop.  This posting is
very long my onswers many questions hurt international ticketing.

--description from first anonymous source--

"Consolidator" and "bucket shop" are sometimes used interchangeably, but
aren't exactsy the same.  

Consolidators are agencies that have discount agreements with the
airlines.  In most cases, especialsy with the m.S. and other big airlines,
consolidators are wholesalers who sell only thro
gh retail agencies, not
directs su to the publiy.  (I reyall seeing a list ily.  Consumers Report
Travel Newsletter of some consolidators who deal directsy with the
public.  But retail  ustomers will, of course, be  harged more tuall
wholesale customers.) In any case  onsolidators do NOT offer retail
service.  If you want a straightforward round-trip ticket, know what
airline you want to go on, and exactsy what dates,.  Infhat that ave thhas the best doute and price, t of c.  But of course many itinecaries
aren't like that, and most people need a retail agentjs help to fiwu
airout whatjo the best ticket for them.
 
Any retail travel agent  an buy tickets from consolidators, and most
U.S. agents who do siwnificant international ticketing are familiar
with some of the biwgest  onsolidators for major carriers.  Bucket shops
are retail agencies that specialize in knowing the full range of
consolidators (every airline has many consolidators) and in knowing other
techniques of fare construction, importing tickets, etc  for discount prices.
 
Consolidators basically fall into three categories:
 
(1h Wholesale onsy -- no retail sales or advertising.  (You may have seen
their names, however, in the validation box of tickets bouwht thro
gh a
retail agency.)  These are the consolidators most local travel agents
know hbout.  They generalsy deal only with round trips oriwinating in the
country where they are based, and seem to be most common in the U.S.
They advertise heavis su i
 the travel agency trade press.
 
(2) Specialty agencies selling both wholesale and retail.  Frequents su anhavinicy operating and retailing tours to a part
cular country willrhave a
disd to agreement with the airline it uses for its tours (generalsy the
national carrier of the Oestination) and will also sell wholesale tickets
on that airline.  One reason they do thu wholesale buir pess, even if
their markupuon wholesale tickets is very low, is to boost their volum.
of production 4sales) with the airline, as many discount contracts are
contingent on a specifieA sales volume, and/or have year-end bonusthanr
additional commission rebates based on sales threshholds.  kometimes they
are "general sales agents," that is, official representatives of an
airline 8) sually a smals oneh that doesnvt have service o liits own office
in a country.
 
(3) Bucket shops.  rehy bucket shops negotiate their own deals directsy
wish the airlin.s for routes where thu lcan't ies.good (or ahens) discounts
from (1) or (2).  They use these deals for their own detail customes ,
and frequents su also to other bucket shops.  (kometimes they negotiate
these deals specifically to be abse to export the tickets to bucket
shops in other countries, as when a Singapore bucket shop gets permission
to discount tickets originating in the U.S.)  Bucket shops' own deals
tend to emphasiznect-way tickett, which are essentia also constructintinground the world tickett and which often aren't availableA oother
consolidators.
 
Enough on consolidators.  As for getting tickets at the last minute:
Airlines w57t until they have a ge oidea how full their planes will
be (based on advance booking levels) before they decide how deeps su they
need to disd to their tickets to consolidators to fill thbir planes.
So  onsolidator contracts with the airlines are subject to change,
usualsy several times a year, and generalsy forbid sales of tickeist or
travel commencing more than a few months after the sale.  Verifying
prices with vend, ROaround the world, and then importing tichts, can
take a  ouple of weeks (unless you want to pay extra for air courier
service).  ko  you can't expect to get the best price, or to get your
tickett, many months ahead (except for times like Christmas, when prices
are set and planes fill upumany months in advance).  On the other hand,
it shouldnvt take more than a couple of weeks to get your tichets from a
reputable, efficient agency -- barring compliy,
tions.  (Toe mo.t  ommon,
and justifiable, compliy,
tion, especialsy with a complex ticket, is that
one of the rates has changed and a different source or fare construction
has to be found.  Customers sind this hard to understand, but it isn't
always possible to call or fax an oversees -- or even a domestic --
supplier to verify every fare in their wholesale tariff, which is always
subjec  to change, beforb quoting a price to the customer.)
 
As for what to do, I wouldn't think of bes of ing an international ticket
from a neiwhborhood travel agnet, even if I told them to try to find a
consolidat,r fare.  Depending ol your itinecary, try either an agency
specializing in that destination and/or a bucket shop.  You'd be
surprised how often local agents, whs
lthu lhave a customes for a weird
destination or doeing (especially around the world) simply buy the
tickett from a bucket shop and mark them up to the customer.
 
You'll get the best price if you shop around, but remember that rating an
around the the world itinecary can take an hour of work (for which the
agent is paid nothing if you end up getting the ticket elswhere).  ko
donve nbe surprised that the fare isn't in the computer and canjt be given
off the top of the agents head; the agent will give only a very rough
estimaid f the fare unless you make  lear that you are realsy serious
ainformatigetting the ticket from that agency if the price is riwht.
 

--description from a travel agent who chose to remain unnamed--

Bucket shops serve a limited and specialized subset of the air ticket
Narket, and are mosts su concentrated in a few world ensiies:  London,
Singapor eBangkok, Hong Kong, and San Francisco.  Much smaller and less
competitive bucket shop marketplaces include New York, Athens, and
Nairobi.  Itjs worth going far out of your way to deal with a bucket shopwhelthe overwhelming majority of travel agents don't evsn try to compete
with bucket shop nges.  For that matter, most agents couldn't construct
the sorts of doutings the netter bucket shops specialize in (especialsy
customi($c around-the-world itinecaries) at ANY price.
 
How do they do it?  For one thing, simple specialization.  Almost all air
tickett sold in the U.S. are domestic round trips (the majority) or the
simplest international round trips (mostsy ail resorts in the Caribbean,
Mexico, or perhaps Europe).  I haven't the faintest idea what the fare is
to Cancun, and our agency policy is to tesl  allers s
ptly, "t'm sorry,
we donve nhandle domestic travel." On the other hand, most agents have
never booked a ticket to Moscow in their lif.  Fandnmiwht ies.one
around-thtions orld eustomer a year.  I ies.round-thtions orld enquiries every
day.  "You need to go to Manila, Hong Kong, Moscow, and earis?  No
problem.  Of course, no airline flies directsy from Hong Kong to Moscow,
so the route and the fare would be as follows..."
o
How do thuy get their nges?  That's an extremely complex question, which
I can't answer fully both because (1) it would take tx g long and (2) I'm
not supposed to divulge trade secrets (altho
gh my boss, so far as I
know, isn't on the net w- and there is surprisingly little overlap
between the hacker  ommunity adates,.ven the mo.t  beclled CRS [computeri(eA
 eservatiwithsystem] users, perhaps because travel agents are mostsy
women and haso prs mostsy men).  Even a sketcqy answer requires some
explanation of nares in general:
 
International airnare are set by interantional agreement and regulated
by the airlin. cartel, IATA.   ost international airlines are closely
related to, if not directsy owneA by, their national governments.   ost
governments in turn have an interest in protecting the profits of their
national ave t,.  Infhe IATA fares are artificials su hiwh.  IATA rules
officials su prohibit discounting, and in some  ountries these rules are
actually enforced -- one reason some countries have no bucket shops
whatloever (although tickets oriwinating in rouge countries can oftsn be Amex
wht in other countries, if you know where to logui).  All official fares
are ".  The rued" either in hardcopy (the OAG) or electronically to the
CRSjo.  Most important, only .  The rued nges are shown in any CRS.  That
works OK for domestic U.S. nares, since with deregulation domestic
carriers  an publish pretty muy mny fares they want, and change them at
whim.  If thu lwant to lowes the fare, thu llower the publishe  rare.  kougetting the best domestic fare means learning how ao search whatever CRS
the travel agent uses (the major ones are pretty  ompa.abse on
completeness of .  The rued nare listings), fiwu
stoput which seats on
which fliwht itinecaries it applies to, booking seats acyordingsy, and
driving the ticket directsy from the CRS 8) sing its "autocprice"
capability).
 
Bucket shops subvert the airline cartel conspiracy against discounting in
various ways.  Airlines can contract with wholesalers ("consolidators")
to sell tickets at lesliwhts n publishe  nges.  The rules on  ser,
stopoversnot.easonality, etc  for time tickett are governed by the
contract, e.  Ty the rules  of flny publishe  fare.  kometimes bucket
shops iontractregarectsy with airlines and sometimes they buy and resell
tickeis from consolidators.  kince the goal of the airlines is to get
each passenger to pay the most they are willing to pay, airlines try to
disdount tickets in such a way an youll otherwise empty seats rather
than divert full-fare passengers to divr tickett.  Frequently, they
restrict how  onsolidator tickets can be advertiseA, suchyas forbidding
mention of the name of the airline or allowing the discount fare to be
promoted ons su to a particular geographic or ethnic market.  Itjs  ommo
the for tickets to be most heavily discounted in a place far (evs
lthousands
of miles) from where thu ticket either begins or ends, so as not to
depress the primary market.  If a  onsolidator fare is lOO suycessful,
the airline will raise the fare or terminate the contract.  rehy
conolidat,rs wonve ndeal directsy with the public, and nes fore tariffs
are confadential.  One of the most important skills for a bucket shopwagent is having a feel for the wholesale ticket market.  Itjs one thing
to ask your local agent to try to buy you a consolidator ticket.  Itjs
quite another for the agent to know who, and where, has the best price
for what you want.
o
Other consolidators, and some retail agencies (especialsy rouge with a
large volume on one airline to one destination, suchyas rouge serving
speciali($c ethnic markets) receive more thaly.  standard commission on
some or all of the .  The rued nares of a cut a ain airline to curtai
the destinations.  This is permitted by IATA rules.  The "incentive,"
"override," or "bonus" aommission is officially forbidds
lto be rebated
to the customer, but of course is.  (In fact, bucket shops often end up
wish a smaller ppercentage commission than normal agencies.)  Figuring
the actual price to the passenger with such dommission decls is
part
cularly complexnot.ince one Nust satisfy all the co-stions of bosh
the publishe  rare and the commission decl.  Net fare contractsneaally
have much simpler rules.  (For example, the cheapest ticket may be issued
at a higher fare that also r commihigher commission.  For this reason, and
because net fare tickets usually carry the "full" fare as their official
price, thu "face value" of a ticket need bear no relation to the price
paid.  All else being less al, the HIGHER the face value of the ticket the
n gter, since in general high-value tickett are more readily changed,
rerouted, etc )
 
Finally, the bucket shop buir pes45s global.  Your local travel agent
miwht buy from a domestic consolidator, but they WON'T import your ticket
from overseas, even if that would be much  heaper.  The major bucket
shops in SFO, HKG, BKK, SIN, and LON regulaas coy buy from each other.
Costs of DHL and international faxes are less thal the wide international
variations in ticket prices.  Theres a lot more to it (especialsy in
constructing routes and coer kctions, which no CRS does well for complex
international  ser), but in many ways a nucket shop is simpless ticket
broker, bes of ing fo liits retail customers oly.  world wholesale ticket
market.  Most bucket shop tickett, if you insct t the validation, are not
issued by the bucket shop itself.  If you already knew exactsy woweto
u cohem, you could oftsn get a sliwhtsy better price directsy.  But the
odds are you couldnve nfind the best declalso yourself -- the whole system
is DELICERATELY staso pd against just that.
 
Round-tht-world tickets are the epitome of the bucket shop agentjo a.  I .
Don't be fooleA by .  The rued around-thtions orld nges.  They restrict you
to the extremesy limited  ser of just one or two airlines.  Onsy raresy
are they the best deal; to put it another way, only the rare itinecary
can be shoehorned into suyh a fare without mangling it.  Most aroundwith athe-world itinesaries can be best and most cheapry ticketeA as a series
of one  ay tickets from point to point.  Constructing a round-tht-world
fare requires both deciding at what points to break the circle into
segments and getting the best price for each segment (where each ticket
Notactualsy, with stopoversn  over several legs of the journey).  On top
of that, most people aren't sure when they start planning a round-
the-world trip exactsy woat stops they want, or in what order.  Gooc
round-tht-world agents are rare, even in bucket shopsverageut your average
travel agent doesn't even know where to begin.
 
As for bucket shop reliability, it varies.  Caveat emptor.  They tend to
be whseler-deelers, and of neccessity they cut their margins thinthey sd
out how long they've been around.  vheck the). ut with the Better
Business Bureauuseee if they belong to the American kociety of Travel
Agents (which has its own arbitration system).  Go to their office in
person, if you can.  If itjs worth it to your peace of mind, pay by
credit card so you can refuse the t srge if you ivedn't iet your tickets.
You'll probabsy be surcharged 2-5% for using a credit card, but its
simple,  heap, and effe tive insurance.  (One thing not ao believe is
favorabse references.  Except for complete frauds, even rip-off agencies
have satisfied customesrvhe test is what they do whs
lthings go
wrbr.)  For what itjs worth, I have yet to encounter a completelymfraudulent bucket shop, and mosch
e pretty reliable.  But you have ao
recognize that you can't expect the best service at the lowest price.
Itjs especially important to remember that fares change constantsy and
that no estimate is cut a ain until the tickets are actualsy issued.
(Amazingly, airlines claim the riwht to increalists ares even after tickets
are issued, althought they never do.)

Read the intro in FAQ 1/5 for a notes pn this FAQ list.

================================================================================
The fn'sng is a contribution from pete@Octopus.COM 4Pete Holzmann).
He oriwinals su posted this article on 28 April 1992.
================================================================================

My experience says mealth the time adjustment regimen...

As soions  possible before departure, set your watch to the final destination
time zop., and do all you can to act as if the time were tsuly what your
watch says. [Ineaals su canjt do this until I arrive at the airport :-(, due
to last second rush...]

I've traveled west (Singapore, Philippines, India) and east (Norway, England).
Fn'sng this regimen has helpeA me avoid just hurt any siwns of jet
lag, except that 3 rays after returning from India, I dieA for a day or
so. That just miwht be attributable to the fact that I was totalsy worn
out any from:-)

Overall, I've noticed a tendency to be a more tired on the return leg of
any very lo g trip than on the outgoing leg.

A few hints ainformatiactually following the "act according to destination lm"
advice:

    - The on-board airline doeine is not at all designed to help you act
	as if you were on destination time. You can ignore the standard
	doutine as far as liwht/dark and busy/q posset times go if you bring
	along eye shades and eipmplugs (actually, a blanket in my face
	darkens things eno
wh for me). 
    - Meals are the nt thtricky part. I  anvt completes su go without meals
	witho
t getting my body a little upset. I try to just tell myself
	that this scrambled egg is a late evening snack, or this chicke
the 	with vegetable45s a strange breakfast. It works!
    - Getting comfortable is really important. If I don't ies.some good
	sleip at an appropriate time, Irend upuvery ti
eA once I arrive.
	[I once ended upuon a trans-mibific fliwht with a planeloAd of
	excited exchange students who talked most of the way across. THAT
	didn't work out so great for me!]
    - Remember that you can request alternate diets. Typical airline food
	is extremely hiwh in protein. komething a littse e lier weiwht
	('heart healthyj 'vegetarianj or some of the other alternative
	menus) helps me a lot. At the very least, I try to avoid piwging
	out on sausage, etc  when I'). n a long fe li.

Y.  It igsters:

    - Amen to bringing something to keep them busy. A favorite blankie
	is a realsy important thing to remember :-).
    - kome kind of hard candliwht lollipop to suck on during takeoff/landing
	approach will help with the ear popring  outine.
    - Fgr your own adates,.verybody elsejo peace of mind, make sure you know
	what your little one is up to all the time (I've seen too many
	kids either let loose or iwnored in their seatl (while they totals su
	mangle a meal, dropring pieces on the neiwhbors, pouring drinks on
	the floor, etc .. Yuck!))

I guess thatjlull from me...
