From: Mike Payne Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 00:37:02 CDT Subject: [ILF] UPDATE AIRFARE Hello again FRIENDS, I spoke to the company (travel agy) again tonight and they gave me their direct number for YOU to call...I thought that was very nice! She said that anybody can use this service for any event we have planned. AutoEurope (for USA/Canada/Mexico/PR only) 1-800-359-3876 ask for x1193 (Karly) or x1197 (Alisa) I must advise that these agencies are consolidators. That means that they buy BULK space and routes on several airlines and can re-sell (legally) to any consumer under their own fare rules and regs. Working in the travel field, the airlines will always advise you that consolidation tickets are not good (I had to say that when I worked for American Airlines) but they are legimate tickets and most agencies have very good records with the Better Business Bureau. It is just that the airlines would rather pocket the money directly as opposed to a wholesaler. BTW, if you get a ticket on US Airways (or any other carrier) through this agency, you can still get your frequent flyer miles with the perspective airline. Just think of these as "Sam's Club tickets!" Other consolidators that I recommend: For travel to: EU/AISA/AFRICA/AUS/NZ 1-800-305-6536 WITHIN N. AMER and some INTL 1-800-527-2589 For those outside of N. America, you should check for these types of agencies in your own country, sorry that I couldn't find or have access to any foreign companies. The agencies above are strictly for N. Amer originations! I hope that I have explained this clearly, but I felt that this might help some of my fellow fans come to Levelfest and MK gigs, let me know if I can help you further! Watch for tomorrow's lesson on Currency Exchanges 101 (When and When not to!) :) All the best and kind regards, and hope to see many more of you in the coming months!
