Re: Sick of earning a pittance on flights?
Hi KGP
It is illegal to cross border selling currently – flight.co.uk are a UK company set up under IATA licence (International Air Transport Association)
IATA
The purpose of Accreditation is to formally recognise travel agents that are authorised to sell and issue international airline tickets ex- UK.
Various responsibilities are involved. Primarily, Accredited agents are accepting payments from customers on behalf of the airlines whose tickets are issued. It is essential that customers and airlines can rely on those agents for tickets to be issued according to the required standards, and for payments to reach the airlines in a timely manner.
The market may change in the future & allow cross border selling but there are currently no definite timelines.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Rachel
