Do we earn up to 30% on commissions? Rarely. Our usual bonus on true premium fares is in the 18% range, but it could be 8-20% depending on a multitude of factors. On anything under near-full economy, we earn anywhere from 0-3%, which is why a booking fee is needed.
I have a variety of net fares which pay 0 commission, so I need to mark them up to my customers, but even with the markup, they are cheaper than any other agent who does not have our contract (and 99.9% of agents do not have our special contracts).

It looks like the site removed the information from their website, but I've reported them nonetheless. The material looks like stolen air contract data from other agencies.

I reported this company as they posted stolen data from our organization and action is being taken. I don't know what the fallout will be, but I wouldn't be rushing to do business with them.
