Who charges for bags?How much?Weight limit?Allowance policies?

4” more leg room?6” more leg room?50% more recline?30% more recline?

I get confused if an agent can’t see what I see from the .com

When I use an agency they

should recognise me as a FF

I expect to be offered the same

fares and products however I choose

to book

I want all airline products to be

available through my agency

Needs of Passenger

Improving customer loyalty is

the single most important priority

for me

Productivity is essential as

profits continue to be squeezed

I need the ability to upsell through easy access to detailed product and fare

information

I must have access all airline

content to remain competitive

Help me manage complexity

caused by airline unbundling

Needs of TMC

Communicating key product benefits outside my home

base is challenging and expensive

I am growing my indirect channel

capabilities through mobile, kiosk and

social media

I want deeper technology integration across all channels

I need to ensure the agency community

understand my products to sell on

my behalf

I want to attract the business

traveller segment
