Carnival Cruise Line replies about payments
Letter: Carnival Cruise Line should raise its cancellation rate For guests who cancel their Carnival vacation once final payment has been made, we pay 100% of agent commission. Cancellations made prior to the final payment due date are not eligible for commission. Also, to clarify, since the letter last week mentions a 7.5% base commission, Carnival’s base commission starts at 10%.

Story: Jet2 woos agents for joint branding Jet2 are honest to say they will trade direct, as going OTT in their support for the travel trade would be foolhardy. Using the trade as a distribution channel is a very useful tool.

QUOTE OF THE
WEEK Term-time breaks OK for privately educated
Story: Court overturns council on term-time holidays from school Taking one’s child out of school may be justified on certain grounds but being able to get a cheaper holiday then are not good grounds. If the child is being educated privately and the school allows an absence, that should be the end of the matter. DAVID TARSH
In reply to David Tarsh:So what you’re saying is only parents who can afford private education for their children should be allowed to go on holiday? LUCY

Cook takeover is positive for Co-op
Story: Thomas Cook/Co-operative Travel retail joint venture to end The poor Co-op staff, who worked so hard for the Co-op. STEVE KANE
Why “poor Co-op staff”? We have been Cook’s for five years and, believe it or not, we actually like our jobs and enjoy being part of Thomas Cook. Operationally, nothing is going to change, just a few bits of new signage. REALIST
It’s positive. It could have gone the other way, with 200 store closures. CLARETY
I am led to understand Freedom and CPTA members found out from [Travel Weekly] rather than from management? BILBOBAGINS
The Freedom and CPTA businesses today are like a well-oiled machine. Profit-making, professional and with more supplier choice than ever. Absolutely no directional selling. BOBBINS
