All Marathon Travel agents are required to utilize AgentWare. AgentWare enables travel professionals to intelligently search a growing number of vendors for the lowest airfares. Marathon Travel is able to access more than 72 vendor websites within the click of one button. This search functionality integrates into our reservation system, allowing us to access and compare real-time fares from a variety of low-cost carriers, consolidators and aggregators. Moreover, AgentWare empowers us to feel confident that we are offering our travelers the best possible price. Fare Shopping Travel Solutions Program
Low Fare Promise You can depend on Marathon Travel to find the best airfare prices. We are so confident of our ability to follow through on this guarantee that we make the following promises: When you reserve your flight with Marathon Travel, we promise that if you find a lower airfare for the same traveler, airline, date and flight, on another website, on the same day as you make your reservation, we will honor that rate and provide you with a $50 coupon per ticket toward your next purchase through Marathon Travel. Travel Solutions Program
Our Quality Control department continues to monitor the airfare after you purchase an airline ticket through Marathon Travel. If the airfare amount decreases, we capture the lower airfare, reissue the ticket, and the airline issues a voucher for the difference based on the rules and regulations of each airline. Some airlines charge reissue fees, others do not. When the savings outweigh the airline reissue fees, the traveler will be issued a voucher from the airline for the difference of the two prices. Marathon Travel will monitor future airfares booked through the airline issuing the voucher and apply it to that next purchase based on the rules and regulations of each airline.
