A travel reservation portal could allow the traveller to spend the commission in a goodgifts.org-like shop (See: Semipostal stamp for email) The travel industry may dislike when the traveller receives a personal advantage, 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.


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 10%) for hotels.
