It's very common for ticketing agents of all sizes to give away part of their commission. So, if a sub-agent makes a booking with an IATA or ARC agent, he might have got six or even seven of the nine percent commission earned by the ticketing agent. Incidentally, the corporate clients could well lose out if they used to get a rebate of the commission that their business travel agents earned. -- Visit Caribbean Aviation: http://www.caribbeanaviation.com/ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GIT d?
