Nexion Your Way
Nexion® Your Way allows you to build the membership package that works best for you. You choose your membership plan and select the appropriate add-on options for agents (and change them at any time to meet your changing business needs).
We can help if you are an experienced travel agent and:
- Aspire to achieve higher profitability with your choice of commissions (90 percent or 100 percent)
- Want access to innovative, targeted marketing that WOWs your customers
- Seek tools, technology, training and a dedicated support team of travel veterans to be more productive
- Need access to any of the four GDS systems, and ticketing fulfillment and support
- Desire “coNexions” with other agents and leading travel industry suppliers
Your Profitability is Our Business
Nexion's size, strength and experience lets you earn top tier commissions with the suppliers that you like to do business with. We offer you your choice of the split of those commissions based on the plan that is right for you (90 percent or 100 percent).
Work Smarter, Not Harder!
Being an independent travel agent, you need a host agency that has the technology and tools that will help you manage your business and simplify the booking process, regardless of the type of travel that you book.
It's All About YOUR “coNexions!”
A host agency should offer you the support and relationships you need to succeed so you can focus on what you do best–selling travel. You may be independent, but with Nexion, you are never alone.
Close the Sale with Powerful Marketing Programs
As an independent business owner, you may not have the resources for marketing and promotional pieces that will WOW your customers. You need a host agency that will provide that for you.

Questions?
What does it mean to be "Sabre Connected"?
"Sabre Connected" is our way of referring to travel agencies that require full access to the Sabre® GDS for air, car, hotel, and rail reservations and ticketing. They are connected to the broadest array of product selection for professional travel retailers.
And we're pleased to welcome any professional travel counselor as a "Sabre Customer" when they use one or all of our leisure products: Sabre® Cruises, Sabre® Vacations, TRAMS Back Office or ClientBase. A GDS contract is not required to use these tools.
What is a "GDS"?
Global Distribution System. This is the industry’s name for a system that lets travel suppliers distribute their travel products’ rates and information for agencies to market and sell. The complexity of managing myriad supplier connections and numerous agency point of sale has limited the industry to only four GDS companies.
Can I use some Sabre products without a contract?
Yes. You can use Sabre Crusies or Sabre Vacations without a contract. Full access to the Sabre GDS does require a contract.
What is ARC?
Airlines Reporting Corporation. This airline-owned company provides ticket distribution, reporting, and settlement services for over 150 air and rail carriers and more than 20,000 ARC-accredited Travel Agency locations and Corporate Travel Departments.
What is an ARC number?
An ARC number is an identifier assigned by the Airlines Reporting Corporation to a travel agency authorized to issue airline tickets. In order to ticket airline reservations, you must be ARC-accredited or be associated with an accredited host agency, like Nexion.
What is IATA?
International Air Transport Association is an airline trade body. IATA provides accreditation for Airline Appointed ticket stock-holding locations.
What is a host agency?
A host agency is a bonded, accredited ARC/IATAN agency through which an independent agent makes bookings. A primary reason an independent travel agent works with a host agency is to issue airline tickets and to earn override commissions, but many hosts provide other support as well. Airlines will not ticket for unaccredited, independent agents.
Nexion is a full service host agency. Nexion handles agency operations so that independent agents can concentrate on selling travel. Nexion’s impactful marketing services, advanced booking tools and preferred suppliers help make Nexion members more profitable.
How do I make money in the travel industry? Who pays me?
Travel agencies earn their compensation through service fees paid by their travelers and through commissions paid by suppliers for certain products.
