Dear all,

  Here’s how you take advantage:

  • Holiday Search - If you only have a small amount of space on your site, you can take the AffiliateFuture travel services - holiday search panel. The search panel contains our flight and hotel inventory and live availability - this is up dated daily with over half a million of our BEST offers. Once the search is conducted on your site, you are presented with a list of results and then the customer can choose which one they want to go with and click through to book.   

We are very competitively priced, which means that our offers are always present in the results. To gain access to the search panel, log into you account, click on “interactive tools” and select “holiday search”. Instructions are simple to follow and you could have fully interactive search technology at the click of a button. There are several search box size formats available, and each can be colour customised to fit in with your website design.

Please note: When you add the search box to your site, all commissions generated will appear in your reports under the merchant name AF Travel Services.

For the more “technical affiliate” the above is also available as a full white label. Please contact AffiliateFuture for details on this.
