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.[Semipostal stamp]

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.


Opodo pays

  • up to 1% for flights
  • up to 5% for hotels
  • up to 5% for cars

and can reserve holiday packages, rail + hotel etc.

Pegasus

  • allows to collect the full commission of 8% (to 12%) for hotels.
