Huntington offers Canadian Travel Agents many benefits!
Price Match
Huntington is committed to providing travel agents with the best prices for airfare, which they achieve with their initial pricing. However, the net fare industry is complex and fares are constantly changing. To keep up with some of these changes they compare their prices with their competitors daily to over 50 destinations with all their airlines. If any of their prices do match their national competitors they adjust them instantly.
Service
10 years average experience for their travel consultants. This is extremely beneficial when it comes to knowledge about complex net fares, airline contracts, GDS features, airline alliances, ticketing and specialized knowledge of all major destinations.
