Corporate travelers and managers may finally get their wish of a more streamlined travel service that incorporates the purchase of ancillary fees through their travel management companies.
USAirways is developing options to distribute ancillary services through travel intermediaries' Global Distribution Systems (GDS) bypassing the need to purchase these services separately at the airport.
GDS providers, airlines and IATA will cooperate to offer solutions for corporate travelers and managers who have complained about the ambiguity of these fees and the additional difficulties in accounting for them. A likely outcome will be a "Miscellaneous Charge Order" (MCO) that would enable agents to issue and report these sales through traditional clearing house methods electronically.
