We are here to help!

Over the last several years, airline contracts have become increasingly complex, with numerous special rules and exceptions depending on the ticketing parameters. McAbee Travel wants to make the missionary trip booking process as easy as possible for you by delivering a fast and straightforward booking process.

Our missionary airfare booking engine is already very easy to understand, but we wanted to point out a few key features that may help you have an even better experience while using it. We utilize colored images to draw attention to special circumstances and/or rules with certain fares. Following is an explanation of the images you will see next to certain fares when logged in to our booking engine.

NetFare

This image indicates a net fare, which means no airline commission is earned on that fare. Instead, you simply tell McAbee Travel what commission you want to charge to your client and we will do the rest.

Commission

If you are booking an airline published fare it may be commissionable. Your commission earned amount will computed on the right side of the fare image below. Where the "NetFare" icon is, instead there will be a commissionable amount. In those cases, we must follow the published fare rules.

Maximum Markup

If you see this icon there may be a maximum amount you can mark up the fare. Please ask one of our agents to review your reservation to give you the exact amount.

In most cases, the payment will end up incurring a merchant fee because the airline's maximum markup percentage is so low.
