Travel Firms Announce New Affiliate Program For Agents
(ContentDesk) November 2, 2005 -- Travel and vacation firms Faremax, Inc. and RHT Travel, Inc. have recently launched a new travel agents portal and affiliate program site -- http://www.agentsky.comRHT Travel and Faremax.com have one of the largest databases of consolidated airfares in the world. Consolidated fares (sometimes called NET, Private or Negotiated fares) are acquired from airlines in bulk at knock-down prices -- as much as 60 percent lower than regular airfares. The two firms have made significant profits selling consolidated fares online, and are seeking to expand their user base through the Agentsky affiliate program.It makes sense for existing travel agents, and even general entrepreneurs to sign up for our program, says Ilya Epshteyn, Faremax CEO and one of the founders of the AgentSky service.
The best thing is that very little effort is required -- customers dont even have to leave our affiliates websites. When an affiliate signs up for the AgentSky program we integrate a custom booking engine into their site. It costs nothing to start up and affiliates can start making money right away.Signing up as an AgentSky affiliate is quick, easy and free. Additionally, for affiliates that dont already have a website, Faremax and RHT are offering to build a custom website for a low fee. Although affiliates are subject to a number of conditions -- requiring them, for example, not to mimic the look or feel of http://www.faremax.com -- the terms and conditions of AgentSky allow affiliates a good deal of independence by the standards of many affiliate schemes.
As well as offering commission on sales of air tickets, the AgentSky scheme also allows affiliates to sell car rentals and hotel bookings for a commission-based fee.Were confident that this is going to be very popular with travel agents and entrepreneurs, says Ilya Epshteyn. Its a great, low-risk way of capitalizing on the huge and growing popularity of international air travel.faremax.com is a leading vendor of discounted leisure travel products, offering consumers affordable one-stop shopping for all of their travel needs.
The company offers consumers one of the largest collections of discounted airfares (more than one million unpublished fares offered on more than 600 major airlines), car rentals and hotel accommodations in the industry.
By only partnering with trusted travel brands, faremax allows budget travelers to buy higher quality travel for a lower price. Faremax matches the needs of two groups: customers who can be flexible about their choice of airline, hotel and car rental company in order to save money, and suppliers who have excess seats, rooms and cars they want to fill..

Student Discount Airfare
Most airlines offer students heavy discounts in airfare, for domestic as well as overseas flights. Some airlines have separate categories of student airfare in which the discounts could be more than 70 percent off the actual price of the ticket. So, if you are a student, a London-to-Rome flight could cost possibly you less than $30.
To be able to purchase tickets under the student airfare category, one has to provide student ID or other forms of documentation, which are then verified by the airlines or their agents. Once your student status is confirmed, you can get cheaper airfare.
These tickets can be purchased online or over the telephone. If a student has booked an e-ticket he or she should not worry about missing the flight because of an availability of seat.
Though student airfares are generally available for students of all age groups, in some cases the discounted airfare could be available only to students under a certain age. Also,...
