A useful starting point
Make the right choices from the start.
Net is a commercial label whose meaning must be agreed between supplier and agent. Ask whether taxes, service charges, transaction fees or other mandatory items are included, and how currency conversion is handled. A rate based on twin sharing and a minimum passenger number should not be interpreted as a universal per-person price.
Compare your options
Use these distinctions to shape the enquiry. They describe planning alternatives, rather than confirmed inventory or priced offers.
| Planning choice | What to consider | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Per person, room, vehicle or file | Avoid mixing units in comparisons |
| Validity | Dates and availability conditions | Know when reconfirmation is required |
| Payment terms | Currency, schedule and charges | Calculate the actual payable amount |
Details that make the difference
Use a quote comparison sheet with the same service scope across suppliers. Record expiry dates and any exchange-rate or availability qualifications. Clarify payment currency and the treatment of amendments before offering a client a fixed selling price. Confidential net terms belong in direct agency communication, not in public traveller content.
Trade pricing, allotments, departure status and any special operating commitments need a written agreement. Confirm the currency, validity, rooming and participant assumptions, release dates and cancellation conditions. Public planning content is not a live supplier tariff, account approval or booking confirmation.

Questions, clearly answered.
Are B2B net rates commissionable?
Do not infer commission treatment from the word net. Ask the supplier to define the commercial basis and any applicable agency remuneration in the written agreement.
What needs to be confirmed before booking?
Trade pricing, allotments, departure status and any special operating commitments need a written agreement. Confirm the currency, validity, rooming and participant assumptions, release dates and cancellation conditions. Public planning content is not a live supplier tariff, account approval or booking confirmation.
