Shawna LevetThere’s a rumor going around that travel agents can get access to free or discounted travel. It’s true! While some of your favorite, comped travel experiences are offered only periodically by vendors, there are many standard discounts available to travel agents everywhere. Here are over 35+ travel agent discounts our Centrav staff members have discovered and enjoyed in the past.
Please note, discount availability and requirements are subject to change. Please reconfirm the requirements of all TA rates prior to booking. If you are unsure whether a travel agent discount is still available, be sure to contact the vendor directly for more information!

Do you have an IATA card? Find out if you are eligible.
Thank you Shawna for this TA information. I just now found it for the first time!
You are welcome, Pam!
This is great information Shawna, thanks?!
You’re very welcome, Melinda!
Outstanding!! wish I had seen this sooner. I just rented a car for 3 weeks from Alamo in Ft Lauderdale. I showed the counter attendant my CLIA card and asked for a discount,
which I did not get.
Why wouldn’t they accept it? Was it because it wasn’t an IATAN card? I have a CLIA card as well. Marriot Hotel Excellence allows a CLIA card for their FAMtastic rates
This is great information and it is very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work. I would appreciate if you could send me an email have a few questions hoping you can help me with. Thanks in advance.
Do you know if Radisson or other hotels accept CLIA card, if we don’t yet have an IATAN card?
Hi Samantha! Per their current online registration form, they accept IATA/ARC/TIDS/CLIA/TRUE.
Thank you for this update!
Shawna,
I dont sell enough to qualify for an IATA card myself. Can I use the agency’s number instead or does it have to be person specific to register for these discounts? Thanks so much
Hi Joan! Thank you for your question! These discounts typically require the agent to show their personal IATA card at the location.
Hi Shawna,
i just called Sea World in San Antonio and they did not know anything about the 50% off. Do you konw if it is park or city specific? I have an IATA card.
Thanks.
Tim
Hi Tim,
Our team members that have used this discount in the past simply showed their IATA card at the gate. We’ll look into this to see if the deal is no longer being offered!

Thank you! I love the Centrav posts!
Thank you, Nanci!
Hi Shawna,
Thank you for the wonderful post.
Do you happen to know if I can apply for an IATAN card even if I do not work for a travel company?
Thank you,
Saurabh
Hi Saurabh,
Thank you for your comment! In order to be eligible for an IATA/IATAN card, an agent must work for an IATA-accredited travel agency.

Thanks very much
Thank you so much for this!
You are welcome!
Hi Shawna,
I am an admin for a nationally touring music band. I am interested in learning how to get travel agent discounts on mostly flights and hotel for the band. Do I need to become a travel agent for that? If you could lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Hi Cyndee! We can send you more detailed information shortly!
Thank you for this information.
You’re welcome, Marilyn!
Hello, thank you for this guide. Do you know if travel agents are able to get discounts with baggage for flights ?
I am not aware of travel agent discounts for luggage, however, some private airfares offer extra luggage! This is totally dependent on the airline, routing, etc.
