Booking International Flights at Rates often Cheaper
than the Internet - Using Deeply Discounted "Consolidators"


Unlike Southwest, Travelocity and/or the others, the name of this company may be unfamiliar to you.
It is a high volume travel agency offering deeply discounted rates to most overseas destinations.

Much like a missionary fare, this student consolidator offers a waiver of the maximum stay
restrictions. This means that travelers taking part in semester or year abroad programs receive
access to discounted fares that would normally not be available.

Please note the following:
  1. The initial confirmation you receive is not itself a ticket and will not be sufficient for you to
    board the airplane. It is simply a statement by the consolidator saying that all of the segments
    of the flight that you have requested are available for the price that has been quoted.

  2. At this point, your credit card payment will be accepted.

  3. Once your credit card payment has been accepted, you will receive either an email or letter
    that restates your itinerary and price and includes a ticket number. This should occur within
    24 hours after payment is accepted.

  4. The telephone help desk number that is listed is ours. In the event any assistance is necessary
    to complete your transaction, we should be the one to contact.

  5. If you do not receive your tickets within a week after the follow-up confirmation, contact CTM.
    Please do not wait until the last minute to call us.

  6. To protect yourself against the unexpected, CTM strongly recommends reconfirmation of
    reservations, seat assignments and meals 24 hours after receiving an electronic or paper
    ticket confirmation and, once again, 24 hours prior to departure for last minute schedule or flight
    time changes.

  7. Personal credit cards are accepted. Third-party University Purchasing or Ghost cards may not be
    accepted without CTM assistance.

  8. CTM assistance is available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm
    Eastern time. CTM assistance is not a 24/7 helpline.
