There are entire websites and forums dedicated to maximizing your travel miles and getting the best bang for your buck when it comes to purchasing airline tickets. But rarely do we hear from those behind the reservations desk ... until now.
Over on Reddit there's an ongoing Q A with " TravelAuthority ," a reservations agent for airlines like Delta, Air France and KLM. We're sharing some of our favorite questions and answers from the thread. airline ticket wholesalers He shares that his Twitter handle is @Jackson_Dai and identifies himself there as the "world's best Delta Skymiles airline ticket wholesalers booking agent." He says he flies 200,000+ miles per year.
"Ask me anything about working for an airline, the flight benefits, using miles, earning miles, avoiding stupid airline fees, low fares, partner airlines, Skyteam vs Oneworld vs Star Alliance or anything really," he challenged readers. So far, the thread has more than 1,300 comments.
A. Best website: Bing.com/travel - the fare predictor is pure genius. Not even Delta agents have access to that information. A close second would be Skyscanner. airline ticket wholesalers In general you want to book 6 weeks to 12 weeks in advance. Any earlier and the flights won't be on sale, any later and the others will have already snapped up all the low fares. Award tickets are another animal though.
A. Credit Cards are the best. Some people run their businesses off their credit cards and rack up millions of miles pretty easily. Suntrust Bank also has a checking account with a Skymiles debit card. That account is nice because the electronic bill pay also earns miles. So you can pay your rent/mortgage via bill pay and get miles for it. And if the person or org you're paying doesn't accept electronic payments it mails them a check.
Q. I'm 6'6". I'm flying back from Shanghai to DTW in a few weeks. Can you help me figure out the best way to get a seat with legroom? In general I arrive at the gate early to see if I can find my way into a better seat. Is there anything else I could do?
A. Go with Economy airline ticket wholesalers Comfort or Exit Row. That may cost you a bit though. Also take a look on Seatguru.com to determine witch seats have the most legroom. Unethically, you could call the reservations agents and say you have a medical disability that requires a bulkhead seat (you don't have to state exactly what it is and Delta agents are forbidden to ask).
A. Yes, after your flight you should call or email (preferably the later) airline ticket wholesalers and let them know about every single airline ticket wholesalers thing you didn't enjoy about your flight (food, movie selection, rude flight attendant, tray table didn't work, Wi-Fi didn't airline ticket wholesalers work etc.). The airlines have a specific department to deal with complaints and they'll give you tens of thousands of miles, free business lounge passes, travel vouchers, drink tickets, etc. Q. ... any special "tips" for international flights and getting the lowest fare? Does it even help if you book super far in advance? (+6 months)
A. Unless you're booking business/first class, booking super far in advance is always a bad move. Airlines charge higher fares for those reservations. It's just like in the tech world where the early adopters pay more. What kind of "tips"? Ethical or Unethical? I have lots of both. There are lots of unethical ones like booking child fares for adults to get 10-20% off or using bereavement/medical exemptions to get cheaper last minute fares or to get agents to waive change fees. Delta/AirFrance/KLM require a bit of info such as a hospital name, address, and phone number for a medical fare but they NEVER call to check up on it so I'm surprised more people don't just lie about it.
A. Yes, definitely. The average age of the reservations agents and flight attendants in pre-merger Northwest airline ticket wholesalers cities (Minneapolis, Detroit, Seattle etc.) is probably 45 or higher so most of them have families. The hours are super flexible, the health benefits are decent, the pay is solid, and your spouse, parents, and kids fly free.
A. If you're in the US it's Southwest Airlines. No Question. Highest pay, best benefits, best management. Delta or United/Continental will offer better flight benefits because of their larger network but that's about it.
A. Flights on other airlines are heavily discounted (75-90%+) but not free. Actually, most airlines extend those heavily discounted travel tickets to employees of competing airlines too. For instance, Delta employees get 90% off tickets airline ticket wholesalers on United, British Airlines, Finnair, JetBlue, US Air, Alaska, Hawaiian, Japan Airlines, Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Korean Airlines etc.
A. Did you use the comment/complaint airline ticket wholesalers form on Delta.com? Or did you mail in a letter? If you send in an email it should have the words "Platinum" or "Diamond" in the text somewhere (e.g. "I'm not yet a Diamond Medallion but..."). The system airline ticket wholesalers will flag your email and give it higher priority because it tries to pick out the complaints from "high value" customers and move them to the front of the queue. It's unethical but it helps. If you call again make sure you talk to a supervisor. Updated: Better yet. Call the customer care dept. 404-773-0305 At the first prompt use option 1 if you have a Skymiles account and option 2 if you don't. airline ticket wholesalers At the second prompt use option #7 to get to an agent.
Good article -- a few tips that generally only us very frequent travellers know. He failed to comment on one item. The very best way to get good benefits is to have a lot of lifetime miles on one airline. I read about this 32 years ago, and have only flown on one airline since then. I'm glad I chose United, because after the UA/CO merger, I can go anywhere (pretty much) on earth. I sure wouldn't choose Jet Blue or Southwest -- I like a big airline company, one like United or Delta that has plenty of back-up reserves in case something goes wrong. All of those people stranded by JetBlue a couple of years ago were stuck because airline ticket wholesalers there is no back-up. They have just enough people to run the airline -- but when something goes wrong passengers are out-of-luck. I've found that it is better to pay a somewhat higher fare, and travel on a large airline company -- and once you choose one, then don't bother to look at fares on other airlines. As a United million mile flyer -- I can say that the benefits you get far outweigh the small amount you save by fare shopping and travel on who ever has the lowest fare.

Really don't like the part about faking a disability for a bulkhead seat. Especially today with all the disabled military members, in addition to those that were already airline ticket wholesalers qualified before war. Shame on you for making such a suggestion. Reply Marcus Jun 19th 2012 4:42PM
He did mention it was unethical. He was taking an honest approach to revealing that there a way/backdoors to many different things regarding the subject of this article.Wake up! LOL. suzie Jun 19th 2012 4:42PM
It is horrible to advise people to fake disabilities in order to get a bulkhead seat. Please never do this. It makes it harder for people who legitimately have disabilities airline ticket wholesalers and may cause those who really need those seats to not get them. People with service and guide dogs need bulkhead seats to accommodate the dog. If you don't have a disability, have some courtesy for those who do.
Also, if you fake having a loved one with a medical emergency or a death in the family, you are abusing the privilege. Airlines will likely become even more stringent with their rules or do away with it altogether if people are lying.
As helpful as this article may be, it fails to mention that the sooner you book a flight, the better chances you have of obtaining a seat and getting good prices. 6 to 12 week may not be enough time, especially when it comes to looking for flight diring airline ticket wholesalers holiday weeks. If someone waits too long to book a seat I can guarantee they will be paying a higher price and that is if they can purchase a seat at all. Reply Goose Jun 19th 2012 5:38PM
Why would they recommend a reservation agent to be a good career? My wife was one for Alaska airlines. The pay wasnt that good; you work weekends, holidays and off hours; so thats flexible? I dont think so. Then they lay you off when they have a bad quarter. That doesnt sound like a good recommendation to me. Reply Dan Jun 19th 2012 4:32PM
Not to mention that the flight benefits are almost non existant, especially if you are a new hire and low on the seniority list. Too many people flying on aircraft that are already overbooked, means that even high seniority employees can't get rides. Marcu Jun 19th 2012 4:42PM
I have a Fox Terrier, weighs airline ticket wholesalers 29 lbs. He is also a Support/Emotional dog. I have heard that to fly he does not pay. But, does he have to wear a muzzle ? Can he ride in the cabin with me? And which airline airline ticket wholesalers allows the animal to ride in the cabin ?
" THERESA IS RIGHT ABOUT DISABLED PEOPLE." airline ticket wholesalers i HAVE VASCULAR DISEASE, DIABEITIS,BAD CIRCULATION, AND ARTHRITIS OF THE KNEES, AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE. Does that make me disabled. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
You dont need to fly sister... You would be likely to cause a full flight to divert along its path to a city other than where it was indeded to go to seek medical attention for you, utimately cause you to be removed, and cause other passengers to miss their connections if the plane was headed for a hub. Greyhound, Amtrak, or rental car will be your best option. :) Nopewrong Jun 19th 2012 8:40PM
There should be a law passed to require all airliners to have at least 95% of seats filled before departing. If not, fine them. Airliners must find ways to fill up the seats by calling destination cities to help with ticket discounts or incentives. Many people would jump to attractive ticket discounts on any given date and time if given the chance. Man
