The best of your letters, comments and social media this week Airlines: Delay fare payments
Story: ‘Trade should change the way it pays airlines’ We need to question why airlines are paid months in advance, when most of their operating costs are post- take-off. Airlines’ salaries are paid in arrears, as are fuel, taxes and, presumably, leases. Weaning the travel industry off pipeline money won’t happen overnight, but it starts with all accepting clients’ money is not working capital. Iata’s BSP is the right place to start. Eventually, an airline might receive half its fare when the outbound flight departs and half with the return flight. A similar transition approach could work with Atol licences. Toby Kelly, chief executive, Trailfinders
Reps: Come and see us
Come on, tour operators and cruise lines, stop putting all your eggs in one basket. Independent agents would like a visit from your reps, plus some of the extra commission and onboard spend you are offering. I know it’s cheap and easy to have one distribution point but the thing to remember is, who are the better upsellers? Be fair!

Gemma Antrobus @LuxuryTravelGem Haslemere Travel It’s amazing how we adapt. I’m now getting asked by clients how they can travel against FCO advice. They’re not asking ‘where can I go to?’, they’re asking ‘how can you make it possible for me to travel to the destination of my choice?’
