Airfare benchmarking

Insight into market conformity in the purchase of airline tickets by your TMC and market conformity of your airline contracts


Your challenge as Travel Manager & Buyer


  • Our travelers sometimes find a better fare on the internet than our TMC offers.

  • Our BoM sees ticket costs rising significantly and asks me what I am doing to control these costs.

  • I know that more and more fares are only bookable outside the GDSs. Does our TMC always manage to find the lowest available airfare in the jungle of fares on the various distribution channels?


  • We have negotiated contract fares with various airlines on various routes. It is unclear how our contract fares compare to those of other companies.


Our benchmark solution


  1. You provide an overview (xlsx) of booked flights (anonymized without personal data)
  2. To make a proper comparison, we use a standard format for this (at segment level)
  3. We upload your data into our dashboard
  4. You will get the results in an interactive dashboard




Air ticket procurement by your TMC

Does your TMC offer competitive airfares? Rest assured, we compare like with like, meticulously considering factors such as identical fare basis codes at the segment level.

What we hear from Travel- and Procurement Managers

Is your airline contract in line with market standards?

Do you believe you've negotiated strong pricing agreements with various airlines? But how confident are you? With our benchmark, you can compare your airfare rates—down to the fare basis per segment—with those of other companies. All data is fully anonymized, with no personal information involved..

Fee



 Fee is based on the volume of benchmarkable ticket spend


  • - Fee: 0.15% of benchmarkable volume
  • - Maximum fee: €4,700
  • - Condition: at least 3 tickets per OD
  • - POS countries: NL & UK

Example:

 A client with €3 million in benchmarkable volume would normally pay €6,000. However, since this exceeds the cap, the fee is limited to €4,700.



For a comprehensive view of your TMC's price/performance, in addition to conducting the 'benchmarking air tickets', performing a 'Benchmark TMC Contract' is also essential.
