A travel reservation portal could allow the traveller to spend the commission in a goodgifts.org-like shop with the [[Special Laptop Program]] as one choice.{{IntRef|Semipostal stamp for email|Semipostal stamp}}

The travel industry may dislike when the traveller is attracted through an immediate personal advantage financed with commission, so this variant of the shop shouldn't be able to send gift vouchers
or cards the way goodgifts.org does. (It could be seen as a personal advantage)

One could form a non-profit organization to operate a travel reservation portal to provide funding for the associated charities. The portal could make use of Opodo and Pegasus, to allow travellers the full convenience of Opodo while allowing hotel-only reservations to provide more funding.

and can reserve holiday packages, rail + hotel etc.
