We have always focused our website on airfares because we know that our clients would like a rough idea of the cost of their trip. We also like to indicate with our fares when the low, mid and high seasons begin and end to benefit you, our customer. In early 2012, Department of Transportation put in effect a regulations which now requires agencies and tour companies to display the full and final price to be paid by the customers, including all fees, charges, and taxes. This new rule especially affects agencies that specialize in international airfares because it is virtually impossible to advertise or list an exact fare from the United States to a foreign country. The all-inclusive airfare will depend on the carrier (different fuel surcharges per airline), the countries visited (different foreign taxes based on currencies other than US dollars, therefore dependent on the rate of exchange on date of purchase) and different routing through the US (connecting airports have passenger facility charges). Now, these changes in fare may only be a couple of dollars more or less but it still can’t be exact.
So after putting our heads together we have decided to give you a few airfares for each country we put on our website, and quote a couple of different seasons. It is important to us that we keep up our business model to keep you well informed. We are intelligent agents, we have the ability to be very innovative with our routes and fares as many of you well know. We are consolidators and also, because or our high volume with international carriers we can offer price breaks to our clients no matter how they travel, coach, coach plus, business or first class. So onward we go, in a slightly different format!
Regards to all and thank you,
