Launch of Flightsite Agent

Flightsite, a subsidiary of Club Travel, launched Flightsite Agent at a well-attended event in Cape Town on the 13th of March 2013. Flightsite Agent offers users a web based system which, once a user has registered and been activated, gives them access to net airfares on various airlines. Once the user has loaded money onto their Flightsite Agent account, they can book flights, add a service fee and sell these to friends and family.  Registering on Flightsite Agent is free and can be done in less than a minute.

As the fares on the system are net, the Flightsite Agent user will be more competitive than any other agency in the market. Flightsite Agent allows the user to search for seats on any airline, including Low Cost Carriers, hold the seats and send quotes to potential customers via e-mail or sms directly from the system. Once the flights have been finalised the user can select to book the flights. This means that the tickets will be issued instantly by the system and can be sent directly to the traveller. Users can determine their own service fee structure by either charging a flat mark up or a percentage of the fare. They can also customise Flightsite Agent with their own logo, look and feel. Flightsite Agent is essentially a business in a box, which offers anyone the opportunity of starting their own travel business.

Small and medium businesses using Flightsite Agent can benefit from the comprehensive reporting which is available on the system. This will allow them to manage the company’s travel spend more closely. As tickets are issued instantly, bookings can be made hours before departure.

Flightsite Agent removes all of the traditional barriers to entry to selling flights. It gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a business free of charge and it gives small businesses the opportunity to manage the company’s travel costs.
