Why Sky Bird?
Select Sky Bird
Sky Bird Travel is one of the most sought after
travel consolidators worldwide for a number of reasons:
We offer a tremendous amount of benefits to our customers
and clients. We provide services unlike any other US
consolidators. Here are just some of the reasons why
Sky Bird is the most preferred consolidator.
Commission Caps
No Commission Caps. No middle men. No extra
charges.
You are free to add on the amount of money you wish
to make onto our net airfares. At the same time you
are able to offer your client a discount over and above
the normal “published” airfares. Everybody
truly wins.
Privacy is a priority
When dealing with us, you can be assured that
your personal identity is guarded. Our tickets only
say, “Travel Agency”, thus your identity
is secure and protected. What’s more? When you
are using a client’s charge card, the terms “Travel
Agency” are displayed in the statement.
Cost Cutting reimbursement
Sky Bird is here to offer you exclusive rates
and therefore keeping with our word, we will not charge
an additional fee for credit card transactions unless
the respective airline drawn is not accepting credit
cards for our net fares.
We will only charge you when the airlines charge us,
not across the board. Should you use a client’s
credit card to charge a ticket, Sky Bird charges only
the gross amount on the client’s card including
your mark up for your commission. All your payments
are subsequently mailed to you with your commission
check the following week. It’s that simple! We
offer our travel agent the following exclusive benefits:
Sky Bird System
You may bridge your system with our system,
make your booking and transfer the PNR to us for dispensation
and ticketing. This feature provides you to make most
of our Quality Control System. Our QC is a software
that inspects each PNR residing in our system.

software that assists you to verify factors that include:

Sky Bird Plus
Our services don’t end here. With Sky
Bird, you can take benefit of the latest and advanced
technology by means of ConProbe. ConProbe enables travel
agencies to advertise NET fares from their own website.
Take a look at all the benefits that Sky Bird plus has
to offer.
More about Con Probe
When the passenger enters your web site, they
can proceed to check fares by entering the origin, destination,
dates of travel, and making a one-way/roundtrip selection.
This immediately registers them to the Sky Bird database.
Now, the Sky Bird servers perform the price check, carry
out the booking process and complete the transaction.
With the passenger unaware of their presence on Sky
Bird Servers, this needs no additional technology infrastructure
for the travel agency.
Search results
The system searches in our database, adds your
markup and responds with a list of fares sorted by the
best price. Only the fares that qualify for all the
fare rules are shown. We check for validity and blackout
dates, minimum/maximum stay, etc. For example, if a
fare does not meet minimum stay requirements, it is
shown in red and indicates why the fare cannot be booked.
Weekend surcharges, if applicable, are also shown to
a passenger. Thus, we offer services showing all possible
choices for a passenger and help him pick the special
fare for his journey.
Fares. Secure payments.
Once the passenger sees a fare they like, they
then check seat availability. On this, the user can
choose from the various flight options available and
enter passenger information. The passenger enters credit
card and billing information on our secured site and
a PNR is created and displayed on the screen. Since
a majority of passengers are price shopping at first,
prices are separated by quote from the seat availability.
This allows the travel agent to offer services through
your own web site to those passengers that like to “do
it themselves”. They do all of the work and searching
instead of you. You inturn take home more profits while
dropping your efforts in giving the passenger what they
want.
Instamange Fares
We offer unrestricted and unlimited access
to fares through our website www.skybirdtravel.com.
You can have access to the complete fare list by just
going through a simple registration process.
You can register, have multiple passwords and change
or update your profile at anytime.
After which, you will be able to view a listing of all
of your past and current bookings through our “Instamanage”
program. This program makes it easy to track their status,
especially if you have had to make changes during the
course of a record.
Group booking assistance
Call us for help with any group requests you
may have. Many times, we are able to provide you with
the advantage of our buying power with various carriers
that will allow us to quote you some very competitive
group fares.
As an agent, you may only do 3 or 4 groups a year, and
maybe they are on 3 or 4 different carriers. You may
be perceived by them as a once a year group booking,
with little history of completion of your group bookings.
Sky Bird can help you here as we are booking numerous
groups during the course of the year.
We bring the record strength of a proven booking history
and a cordial relationship with group desks. We also
have a working knowledge of each airlines group policies,
which can differ with each airline.
Our written group agreements are trouble-free, uncomplicated
and easy to understand. Sky Bird is free from deposit
requirements, time limits, and cancellation penalty
deadlines.
Our promise
Sky Bird is at your beck and call whenever
you need our services, advise, consultation or information.
Feel free to interact with our trained and courteous
customer executives who will assist you all through
your dealings with us.
Call us for help with any group requests you may have
for international or domestic travel or contact
us. Of course, you can always call us toll free
