Why ancillaries
- Low cost of sales. Seats and baggage space already exist.
- Not a price-comparison product. No race to the lowest fare.
- Little marketing cost. Offered right to travelers who have just bought a ticket.
How the money flows
- A traveler buys ancillaries on the seller's screen (agency or OTA), with the ticket or after ticketing.
- ALLWIN AIR processes the payment and passes the order to the supplier (airline or ancillary provider).
- The supplier earns revenue from a new channel; the seller earns a sales commission.
- ALLWIN AIR earns a fee for integration, operation, CS and settlement; sellers carry almost no development or operating cost.
Commission rates and other terms are set in each partner agreement.
Everyone wins (ALLWINOMICS)
Suppliers (airlines, ancillary providers)
Before: ancillaries sold only on their own sites
→ Reach the agency channel that sells 70–90% of tickets; extra revenue without integrating each seller
Sellers (agencies, OTAs, platforms)
Before: only a small incentive on ticket sales
→ A new revenue stream from ancillary commission, with no development, CS or settlement burden
Travelers
Before: ancillaries only on airline sites or at the airport
→ One-stop purchase where they booked, preferred seats secured early, less time at the airport
| Who | Cost saving | Time saving | Revenue growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travelers | Up to about 30% cheaper than at the airport | Preferred seats secured early, less airport waiting | — |
| Sellers | About 1/8 the resources of direct airline integration | No development, CS or settlement burden | New revenue from ancillary commission |
| Suppliers | About 1/20 the resources of direct agency integration | No seller-management burden | Added revenue from the agency channel |
Estimates assuming 8 Korean airlines and 20 agencies; discounts vary by airline and product (from our 2021 partnership deck).
More connections, more revenue
Once a seller is connected, new suppliers and products keep being added. Sellers get more to sell without new development; suppliers gain more sellers without new sales effort. As ALLWIN AIR's services expand, partners' profitability keeps rising. See our expansion →
Frequently asked questions
- How do sellers (agencies) earn?
- When a traveler buys an ancillary on the seller's screen, the seller earns a sales commission — a revenue stream separate from ticket incentives. Terms are set by agreement.
- What do suppliers (airlines) gain?
- Ancillary sales extend beyond their own website to agencies and OTAs, without integrating each seller and with less seller-management, CS and settlement work.
- Are there costs for partners?
- ALLWIN AIR earns when sales happen, so partners carry little upfront development or operating cost. Details are shared during partnership discussions.
