She had booked an international trip online for $1,600.

Then calendars changed and the dates had to be adjusted. Suddenly the online bargain was $2,500. She called the online company, and actually got a human being but there was no way they could offer a less expensive ticket.

Then she called TTC.

It was quickly clear to us that the new itinerary had caused the jump in price: no Saturday night stay-over. If the traveler were willing to stay one day longer, the fare would drop by $1,472, a 60 percent savings.

Since the same route is traveled regularly by this company, we advised saving the current ticket for a future credit, and buying the less expensive ticket for this trip. Since this company – now our new client – travels this route at least ten times per year, they would be saving almost $15,000.

“Thank you,” she said.
