American Airlines Vacations is one of the easiest ways to package and close deals fast.
Updated: Oct 5
American Airlines Vacations lets you book flights and hotels together in one reservation. For agents, that means one quote, one booking and one point of contact when something changes.
Why agents use it
Dynamic packaging: air and hotel priced together in one booking
Strong package pricing on popular leisure destinations
Convenience for you and your client: one confirmation and one payment schedule
Reliable operations backed by a major airline
Where it performs best
Mexico and Caribbean all-inclusives: couples, families and groups who want one simple price.
Hawaii: first-time visitors and honeymooners.
Europe packages: clients who want city stays with flights handled.
How to sell it
Start with the client's departure city and dates; package value depends on the flight.
Price two or three hotels at different levels and present them side by side.
Compare the package with booking air and hotel separately, and show the difference.
Add transfers and activities to make the trip complete.
Tips
Package pricing changes quickly; hold or book once your client decides.
Check the change and cancellation rules for both the flight and the hotel before you pay.
Keep the booking in your name as the agent so changes come back to you.
