Can I set my own markup on flight fares so I decide how much I make on each booking?

Yes, you can set your own markup on flight fares and decide how much you earn on each booking. The portal takes the fare that comes back from the airline or supplier, adds your markup, and shows your customer one total price, so they never see the fare you paid underneath.

Most setups let you build markup rules rather than one flat figure for everything. You can usually vary the markup by airline, by route, by cabin class, by whether the trip is domestic or international, and by which part of your business the booking came from, so your walk in customers and your sub agents are not treated the same. The markup is normally either a fixed amount per passenger or a percentage of the fare, and you can change it yourself when you need to.

There are real limits, and they depend on the supplier and the type of fare. Some content reaches you net, which leaves the pricing entirely to you, while other fares already carry a commission and behave differently. Taxes and airline fees are usually passed straight through without a markup, and some airlines set conditions about how their fares may be displayed and sold, so your room to move changes from one source to another. Your plan can also affect how detailed the rules are allowed to get.

The next thing to do is list the routes and airlines you sell most often, decide what you want to earn on each, then run a few test searches and check the result against the supplier fare to confirm the markup is landing where you expect.
