Jet2 deal for Worldchoice and TTA
Worldchoice and TTA have signed a deal with Jet2holidays.com and Jet2.com.
The deal will allow member agents to earn commission on ATOL bonded Jet2holidays.com, and charge booking fees or mark-ups on Jet2.com flight sales.
Worldchoice and TTA said the move will strengthen their regional proposition because Jet2 is strong in northern UK airports.
As part of the deal, agents will have access to the new trade website for Jet2holidays.com, offering pricing parity with its consumer-facing website.
Helen Talbot, commercial director at Worldchoice and TTA, said: “We have sought opportunities for our members to differentiate themselves from their competitors in the peak period this year.
“In particular we have paid attention to where we can give members further clout by increasing the opportunities for flying from regional airports and improving the capacity.â€
