Airline Consolidators

Whenever using airline consolidators (a company that buys seats in bulk and sells them at a discount), please check them out carefully. This is one area of travel that has had a lot of scam artists.

Always check out the Better Business Bureau first to make sure they are legitimate!

Also be sure to check out all the restrictions and cancellation charges. These are usually steeper with consolidator tickets. You’ll want to make sure you can receive frequent flyer points on these tickets too.

Use a credit card for purchase and call the airline after you purchase the ticket to verify it is booked and ticketed properly.

Following are some consolidator sites that you should find useful:

DFW Tours DFW Tours has been providing travel services to thousands of passengers for the past 29 years.

Please compare prices with other sites, as I have found DFW Tours to sometimes show higher fares.

Their clients include Missionary Organizations, Travel Web Sites, Corporations World Wide, Travel Agencies, Tour Operators, Cruise Lines, and many others organizations seeking low cost air transportation.
