Access GDS Air Commission for Travel Agencies
If your travel agency is already ARC-appointed and utilizes a Global Distribution System (GDS), you know exactly how much work goes into booking flights. Unfortunately, you also know the specific pain that comes with it: you are already fully invested in the GDS infrastructure, doing all the heavy lifting, yet making little to no margin on the airline tickets you sell.
Our travel industry professionals are here to change that. Allied Continental’s commission programs empower ARC-appointed travel agencies to keep complete control of their business while drastically improving their profit margins.
By tapping into Allied Continental’s $2 billion in collective buying power and negotiated contracts with over 140 airlines, you can start earning 6% to 20% in upfront, gross commissions on the flights you are already booking today!
When evaluating a GDS air commission for travel agencies, pay most attention to the numbers. Allied Continental empowers our network of over 600 partners to leverage our $2 billion in annual collective buying power, allowing you to easily boost your margins without leaving your preferred GDS platform. This massive scale ensures that independent advisors and smaller agencies can access the exact same tier of benefits and financial leverage as the industry's largest players.
Our travel advisors have spent years cultivating direct, negotiated contracts with more than 140 domestic and international airlines, including major carriers like Delta, American, and United. Because of these deeply rooted industry relationships, agencies utilizing our ARC Appointed GDS program can consistently secure 6% to 20% in upfront gross commissions on the flights they already book every day.
The financial impact for our partners is substantial and immediate. In 2025 alone, our travel agency customers booked more than 14,000 flights through our programs, resulting in $611,618 in total commissions paid directly to them. By partnering with Allied Continental, you ensure that your travel business never has to do the heavy lifting of booking an airline ticket for zero reward again.
