Fixed Departure Flights Portal for Travel Agents

A fixed departure flights portal gives travel agents one place to find pre-purchased series seats on set dates, see how many seats are left and book them at a net fare for their own customers. JourneyDeal runs a free agent portal on the same Special Fixed Departure inventory that travellers see on our website, so an agency in any Indian city can sell confirmed seats without buying blocks of its own.

Series fare portals exist because block seats behave differently from live airline fares. The price is fixed for each date, the PNR is already confirmed with the airline, and once the seats on a date are sold that date simply closes. An agent needs to see all of this clearly before quoting a customer, and that is what a good offline series fare portal should put on one screen.

What a series fare portal should offer

• Search by route and travel date, with the available departure dates shown together so you can give the customer a choice
• Seats left on each date, so you never promise a seat that has already gone
• Your net fare, with flight timings, baggage and fare rules visible before you book
• Your own markup on top of the net fare, so the price you share is the price you decided
• A prepaid wallet, so bookings are paid from your balance without entering card details every time
• The confirmed airline PNR and an e-ticket you can download or forward to the traveller
• A real support desk for reissues, cancellations and name corrections, handled according to the airline's fare rules

How the JourneyDeal agent portal works

Once your agency is registered and activated, you log in and search much as a customer would, but the fares you see are net fares for agents. Each fixed departure row shows the airline, departure and arrival times, the baggage included, seats left and the fare rules. Airlines whose series seats can appear include IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air, SpiceJet and Flydubai, but only when that airline has seats on the route and date you searched.

You add your markup, enter passenger names exactly as they appear on the passport or government ID, and pay from your wallet. The ticket is issued against the confirmed PNR and emailed, and the booking stays in your account so you can find it quickly when the customer calls back. Normal published fares are shown alongside the fixed departure rows too, so you can compare and pick the better option for each customer instead of selling a series seat every time.

Who the portal suits

• Small and mid-sized agencies that want series seats without the risk of buying blocks themselves
• Agents selling Gulf routes such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi or Hyderabad to Dubai, where peak-season prices climb quickly
• Agencies handling holiday, family and pilgrimage travel on fixed dates
• Corporate and student travel desks that need confirmed seats on a known date
• Home-based agents and freelancers who want a professional booking tool with their own markup

Registering your agency

1. Open the travel agency registration page and fill in your agency name, contact person, mobile number, email address and city.
2. Upload the business and identity documents requested for the KYC check.
3. Our team verifies the details, and your account is activated once the check is complete.
4. Log in on the agent login page, top up your wallet and start searching fixed departure dates.

Registration is free and there is no joining fee to see the fixed departure inventory. If your agency also wants fares inside its own website or app, ask our team about the flight booking API. For groups of 10 or more passengers, request a separate negotiated group fare rather than booking series seats one by one.

Checks to make before every booking

Series fares are usually non-refundable, and name changes or date changes are usually not allowed or are limited. Read the fare rules shown on the row before you pay and share them with your customer in writing, so there is no surprise later. Check the baggage shown on that fare, because it varies by airline and by fare. Confirm that every name matches the travel document, since a correction may not be possible after ticketing. For international trips, remind the traveller that visas, passport validity and transit rules are their responsibility to check.

When the airline changes the schedule

Airlines can retime or cancel a flight even when the seats were bought in advance. When that happens on a booking made through the portal, we inform you and help you rebook or refund according to the airline's rules, so you can give your customer a clear answer quickly. Keeping your customer's mobile number and email correct in the booking makes this much easier.
