Consolidators On the Web
"Consolidators On the Web" is an up-to-date directory of airline ticket consolidators. Use this directory to find low airfares for your next international or domestic trip.
A loose definition: A consolidator is a company that buys airline tickets in bulk or holds exclusive contracts with carriers. They often secure "unpublished" fares significantly lower than retail prices. While many serve only travel agents (B2B), several firms sell directly to the public.
May 2026 Update: The travel landscape has shifted. While Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) dominate, consolidators remain the best source for international, multi-stop, and premium cabin deals.
Note for UK Travelers: Recent government measures allow airlines to "consolidate" schedules due to fuel supply issues—this is different from "ticket consolidators." For the best deals, look for agencies offering "private" or "negotiated" fares, often accessible only via phone.
