Agencies Located in 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada

Effective for all tickets issued where American validation is used. Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) and IATA approved locations classified by American as full service, on-site, restricted access or Satellite Ticket Printer (STP).

Agencies Located Outside The 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada

American does not pay base commission on tickets issued outside the U.S. (including Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada for flights on itineraries originating within the territory of the U.S. (including Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada. For eligible fares, American allows commission to be taken from the full value of the ticket; this includes tickets where a voucher or an MCO were used as a form of payment.

American Airlines does not pay base commission for tickets issued by travel agents on itineraries originating within the territory of the United States, including Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada.

Because American's base commission and other commission structures can vary by country and travel agent, American reiterates that travel agents may not evade or circumvent American's commission rate structures by means of shifting of bookings to a branch office i.e. via use of satellite ticket printer or electronic transfer of ticketing data, through commission splitting or referral arrangements with a correspondent travel agency, or by any other means.

ARC Travel Agency Service Fees (TASF)

When producing and collecting your travel agency service fee sales (TASF) via an automated MCO, you must validate the MCO on ARC/890 only. You may not validate the MCO on an actual carrier. If you validate the MCO on AA/001, you will receive a debit memo. Detailed information regarding the ARC TASF program is on ARC form number 111. See the ARC web site www.arccorp.com for ordering instructions.

In accordance with the ARC reporting agreement, the agent will use the ticketing identification of any ARC carrier scheduled to participate in the transportation. If the ticketing ID of a carrier scheduled to participate in the transportation is not available; the agent will use the ticketing ID of any other ARC carrier who has provided authorization for such use.

IATA-Only Travel Agents Located in the 50 U.S.

In order to qualify as an agent representing American in the 50 U.S., the travel agent must be approved first by ARC and then by American. IATA-only agents located in the 50 U.S. cannot plate on American, and therefore, are not eligible for commission.
