MILWAUKEE, WI – March 1, 2007 – VAX VacationAccess® Air Only now offers ARC-accredited travel agencies the ability to add service fees to airline reservations by issuing Miscellaneous Charges Orders (MCOs). The air-only booking engine of Trisept Solutions and G2 SwitchWorks launched in April 2006, and the momentum continues to increase across the travel agent community. Within only days of release of the ARC agency booking feature, more than one hundred agencies upgraded to ARC status.
In addition to the ability to add service fees to airline reservations, ARC-accredited travel agencies now receive airline volume recognition for all issued tickets, ARC agency reports, manual price options to adjust ticket prices for carrier waivers or private negotiated fares, and airline-direct assistance regarding client special needs and seat assignment changes. Agencies that are interested in upgrading to ARC status should visit the VAX VacationAccess Agent Center and select Updates.
VAX VacationAccess Air Only, powered by G2 SwitchWorks, offers agents the ability to search for and book air-only vacations on leading air carriers including AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways. Free training and 24/7 online support are available.
"We are proud to be 'The Travel Pro’s Best Friend,' and will continue to enhance our products to meet the needs of the agent community," said John Ische, president and CEO of Trisept Solutions. "Each day, more and more agents are registering on the platform to access fares from industry-leading carriers through easy to use searching and booking functionality and capabilities," Ische continued.
