Something Came Up?

Great find today! -  Booked a ticket and sadly can’t make it? No worries, sell it.

Re-ticket.com is an online marketplace that helps facilitate that process, providing passengers, tour operators and transport companies with a way to sell their unused or leftover tickets for travel by plane, train, coach or ferry. Sellers begin by listing the details of their tickets for sale, including the price they’d like to be paid and a time limit for the auction period. Buyers, meanwhile, can search for tickets by departure and destination cities, dates and price. They can then bid on the ones that interest them; after the auction is closed, the buyer placing the highest bid wins, transferring their payment to Re-ticket.com. The seller, in turn, receives the buyer’s name and makes the required name change with the airline company or travel agent, sending the ticket to the buyer once that’s done. Within two weeks after the departure date, Re-ticket.com transfers payment to the seller. Much like Miss Refund, Re-ticket.com also helps passengers get refunds on airport taxes when they don’t make a trip.

A fantastic find worth spreading.

I find this interesting as we JUST discussed the need for this in a business development meeting this morning. I am interested to see how they deal with the reticketing and airline regulations.
