Airlines flying to India?
QPX wrote:
"Ethnic" travel agents deal mostly in one or two cheap airlines because consolidating requires large volume sales...If you want research and you want to be picky, you'll have to do it yourself or pay a full service agent a significant fee to do it. This explains why one agency deals with only or two airlines. However, it does not explain why they all deal with the same airlines! In case of India, I accept that all agents will quote Air India, because a large number of passengers are comfortable with it due to food or language or better connections back home. However, it is surprising why everybody has seemingly settled on Kuwait as the other carrier. I'd have thought that while some agents have better relations with Kuwait, others may have with Jordanian or Turkish or Alitalia. For some reason, that is not the case right now. |
