Why can a travel agency issue a cheaper airfare than the same ticket price online?
I searched the international airfare online. Some websites show the cheap airfare. But, the total price after adding the tax and fees will have no much difference on all websites. I called a local travel agency for the same ticket. It can be lower than about $150. Why can the travel agency issue the cheaper airfare than the same ticket price online? Is it possible to know the invoice airline ticket price?
We don’t know what country you’re in, so it’s difficult to know how travel agencies operate in all the different countries in the world.
In the USA, this does not happen with US domestic flights. But for international flights originating in the USA, what you described does happen with foreign carriers. They operate differently and they maintain more control of their ticket inventory. Their reservation system is under their own control, with the main office in the foreign country. These airlines make deals with the travel agents to book tours, and in turn the agents can deal with the airlines on your behalf.
If this is your situation in the USA, you might even shop around different agencies because some are cheaper than others.
By the way, one time on an EVA Air ticket, the travel agency invoice showed the fare at about $2,000. But I only paid about $1,000
