Easing the Burden of Booking with CTS Fares

Cosmopoliton Travel Service (CTS Fares) has been consolidating the details of getaways for over 50 years. They work closely with airlines, and hotels to help the travel consultant and their clients save money. Their goal is to do good business, and help agents do good business in return; meaning that, not only do they provide some of the best discounts in the travel industry, the complete process of booking through CTS is transparent: mark-ups, net rates, and commission levels are all visible…even through the booking engine.

CTS Fares is always on the case when there are issues, questions, or scheduling changes. PictureWith support available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, there isn’t a moment where they aren’t ready to help out with a problem that arises. They are are always looking to what comes next in the growing field of travel technology to assist their customers in any way they can. Their next leap of innovation involves immediate ticketing, interactive personalized proposals with multiple fares, and easy to use fare shopping. In addition to these new features we also continue to provide schedule change notifications as well as checking for lower fares consistently and seat assignment preferences.

The booking engine that CTS has created, which utilizes contracts with over 100 major airlines for exclusive discounts, is only for travel agents. The agent can book private and published commissionable fares, using a number of available options to customize the process to fit their agency branding. A white label B2B2C option, which combines the forces of both CTS Fares and the agent, creates a powerhouse model of sales. CTS allows the agent to send itineraries to their customers with their branding, such as the logo of their agency. The booking engine is even mobile friendly, for complete convenience.

CTS Fares is always looking to what comes next in the growing field of technology, and always working with suppliers to improve the discounts agents receive for their clients. As the fastest growing consolidator in the United States, CTS Fares maintains one philosophy in doing business: you grow, they grow.
