Travel reservations
This page is not maintained by the OLPC team. (See: About this wiki)
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.
- allows to collect the full commission of 8% (to 12%) for hotels.
Example
- Demonstration page - the credibility of the page would obviously benefit from an official certification from the OLPC Foundation.[Certified OLPC fundraiser]

Some ideas
A travel service could operate a call center in Niamey and use the call-center to teach, among other things, the languages French and English.
