 Whatever travel product you sell -
with ancillary revenues you can earn more
Airlines are raising their revenues at
little extra cost by unbundling their fares
and selling additional products on their
websites. The impact on their bottom
line is massive and now hotels, car hire,
cruises, ferries, tour operators and OTAs
are all moving into this lucrative money
earner.
The message is simple: if you are in the
business of selling travel online – your
revenues could be higher! With more and
more customers buying direct from the
supplier the opportunities for growing your
revenues by unbundling, up-selling and
cross-selling are enormous.
The conclusion is clear: ancillary revenue
works and now it’s your turn to take a cut
of the profits. Growing ancillary revenue
as part of your business model is essential
to the survival of your company, especially
during a weak economy. But making This year, for the first time in North

Your Ancillary Revenue
Objectives?

products – and are the GDSs actually capable

How Do You Make Your
Ancillary Revenue Program
Consistent with Your Brand?
Southwest started to issue seat numbers in a pre-
flight email – creating an ideal ancillary revenue
opportunity. But to do this, they had to stop young
families boarding first. Does it really pay to alienate
certain customer segments in favor of generating
additional revenues?
• Airlines are experimenting with services
and products that were once free. To what
extent does this alienate customers – and
does it matter?
• Are ancillary programs inconsistent with a
legacy carrier brand – or not?
• North American travelers and their sensitivities
to hidden/additional costs: Which products and
add-ons will flight passengers willingly pay for?
• Can US airlines copy the European LCC model
that often includes travel insurance by default,
forcing an opt-out policy on customers? Would
this work? And is it legal?
