The technology of Victor is a fun toy when you're trying to figure out how much a trip from _____ to _____ costs.. but once you get past that, they're a typical broker.

You're going to pay the operator price plus a mark-up.

I used them for quotes and comparisons (see above in this thread) and the price was a higher than a broker without the up to the minute updates that I prefer when spending that kind of $ on a charter. I hear they're a lot better in Europe than here in the US where they just hire call-center types to deal with customers.

I have been offered a new membership program that has no mark up from the wholesale price and lets me book direct with the operator. A real broker does the annoying shopping for me and puts together a comprehensive list... i think this is the best product ive seen so far. The guys who started it gave me a test run and say it's launching soon so I agreed to not pass on the name until they give me the green light. It's making brokering obsolete and is very little $ to join.
