More cuts to commission on fuel supplements

Thomas Cook and First Choice are to end travel agent commission on fuel supplements.

The news follows Thomson’s decision to end blanket commissions which saw accommodation-only and flight seat-only commissions scrapped, as well as fuel supplements, from the start of the year.

Fuel supplements vary from about £10 to £18 and commission to agents is usually around 10%. Thomas Cook said all payments will be stopped on its brands and air fares from the start of next month.

First Choice said the operator is stopping payments from February 25
