ARC data highlights rising agency air ticket sales as SNAP simplifies booking for Travel Leaders Network members
NEW YORK (April 6, 2026) – Airline ticket sales through U.S. travel agencies are continuing to climb in 2026, highlighting renewed demand for advisor-assisted bookings and the value travelers place on expert guidance.
According to the latest data from Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), air ticket sales through U.S.-based travel agencies increased year over year in February 2026, reinforcing the continued strength of the agency channel as travel demand remains strong.
For many advisors, the renewed growth in air bookings represents an opportunity to expand revenue while offering clients more comprehensive travel planning. By including flights alongside hotels, cruises and tours, advisors can increase overall booking value while maintaining greater control over client itineraries.
To help its members capture that opportunity, Travel Leaders Network has expanded adoption of SNAP, its point-and-click air booking platform designed to simplify flight sales for agencies that historically avoided booking air due to the complexity of traditional reservation systems.
Built for simplicity and efficiency, SNAP allows advisors—particularly those newer to selling air—to search, compare and book flights through an intuitive interface, making it easier for agencies to incorporate air into their service offerings.
“Air sales represent a significant and growing opportunity for our members,” said Lindsay Pearlman, President of Travel Leaders Network. “With SNAP, we’ve made booking air simple and accessible so advisors can confidently serve their clients while increasing their overall sales.”
The network is already seeing strong momentum. Year-to-date in 2026, Travel Leaders Network says its air ticket sales have reached roughly 50% of its total 2025 volume in both tickets sold and total air revenue.
To support that growth, the organization has expanded 24/7 support resources and field training for advisors adopting SNAP. As part of Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies, Travel Leaders Network also has a dedicated air team negotiating commissionable and exclusive fares to help agencies remain competitive.SNAP also allows travel advisors to book hotels and car rentals, making it an intuitive, one-stop solution for Travel Leaders Network members looking to service their clients’ trips end-to-end.
As demand for full-service travel planning continues to grow, Travel Leaders Network says tools, training, and expanded air programs will help its members capture more of the overall travel booking and strengthen client relationships.
