Why Choose Huntington?

posted by Jessica Lewis

Huntington offers Canadian Travel Agents many benefits!

Price Match
Huntington is committed to providing travel agents with the best prices for airfare, which they achieve with their initial pricing. However, the net fare industry is complex and fares are constantly changing. To keep up with some of these changes they compare their prices with their competitors daily to over 50 destinations with all their airlines. If any of their prices do match their national competitors they adjust them instantly.

Service
10 years average experience for their travel consultants. This is extremely beneficial when it comes to knowledge about complex net fares, airline contracts, GDS features, airline alliances, ticketing and specialized knowledge of all major destinations.

AIRLINE BAGGAGE FEES-Breakdown…

posted by Champion Trips

 AIRLINE BAGGAGE FEES-Breakdown:


Hello PTN Partners!

When booking a clients airfare or package, you may find similar pricing amongst 2 or 3 airlines with similar times.  Before choosing one, make sure to take into consideration the “BAGGAGE FEES”.  This can make a huge difference in the total pricing!

I found this and hope this helps.  As always, this may not be up-to-date.  Use this as a quick reference guide and then go to the airlines website directly to check the exact “Baggage Fees”.

Some airlines allow for one baggage to be checked in, but then charge for the 2nd baggage.  (Weight must be under 50 lbs).

One hand helping the other…

posted by Jason Ross

Have any of you considered booking an affordable group cruise at a near-by port for the purpose of recruiting? Market the cruise to those who you think would like to see what PTN has to offer. Those who go will be those who are interested in travel, obviously. Use your amenity points to block out the meeting area to do the presentation. The tour conductor rate will often allow you to cruise for free. That is the best way to prove it to them. “I’m getting paid to be on this cruise with you…” This will also help you achieve both your IATAN and CLIA card, you’ll get paid to do the presentations that you’re going to do anyway, you’ll get a lot of new recruits, you’ll develop a great client base, and most of all… you’ll make a believer of the skeptics! If you do not understand how simple this is to do, you need to call me! Jason, Mentor, PTN.
