Again, this answer does not account for provisions of any corporate contract out there.
I was thinking of AMEX and their ilk. I haven't used any travel agent for many years, so perhaps the "regular" ones get no cut at all. I do recall that airlines drastically reduced the % a few years back; did it go to zero?
