- Registration must always be made under your client's name, and should always include a contact person at that company.
- Travel agents cannot enrol themselves for businessflyer, as the discounts being offered are for the exclusive use of registered corporate clients.
- In order to be granted access to businessflyer fares, you need to be an IATA travel agent based in Switzerland.
- When a customer registers your agency to issue their businessflyer fares, it is essential that the travel agency registration form is completely filled out, including IATA # and CRS Pseudo City Code. Without this information, the oneworld airlines cannot load the businessflyer fares into your CRS.
- businessflyer fares may only be issued for customers who have registered you as their preferred travel agency. Regular audits of businessflyer revenue will be carried out. Any travel agency found to be issuing businessflyer fares to non-registered customers will have their access to the fares removed.
