Consolidator fares
Airlines sell premium seats in bulk to accredited wholesale partners at negotiated rates that never appear on public booking sites.
How it works · About us
Quietly, expertly arranged.
Altaire is a private fare desk for business and first class travel. We do the searching, pricing and ticketing — you choose the seat.
About Altaire
The price on the website is rarely the only price.
Airlines sell the same premium seat through many channels, at many prices. Most travellers only ever see one of them — the most expensive.
Altaire exists to close that gap. Our fare specialists work with accredited wholesale partners and airline-contracted rates to price the cabins people dream about — Qsuite, First Class Suites, the Apartment — at levels that make them a realistic choice rather than a once-in-a-lifetime splurge.
We keep it personal. Every request is handled by one specialist, every quote is complete and transparent, and every ticket is issued directly by the airline.
Discreet
Private fares, privately arranged. Your details are used for your booking — nothing else.
Expert
Specialists who know which routing, aircraft and fare unlocks the cabin you want.
Transparent
One complete price, fare rules in plain English, and no charge until you approve.
The process
Four steps to the front cabin.
- 01
Tell us where
Share your route, dates, cabin and how flexible you are.
Use the request form — it takes about a minute. The more flexible you can be on dates or airports, the more private fares we can open up.
- 02
We search private inventory
Our specialists compare consolidator, wholesale and unpublished fares across 40+ airlines.
We price the same flights through every channel available to us and look for smarter routings — a different connection point can change the price dramatically.
- 03
Receive your private fare
A clear quote with the exact flights, cabin, fare rules and total price.
You'll see the airline, aircraft, departure times, baggage, change rules and what the fare earns in miles. Ask anything — we'll adjust until it's right.
- 04
Approve, pay securely, fly
Once you approve, the airline issues your ticket. Manage it, pick seats and check in as usual.
You'll receive your e-ticket and airline confirmation number, usually the same day. Your specialist stays on hand for seat requests, upgrades and changes.
Where the savings come from
Not a trick. A trade.
Private fares are a normal, long-standing part of how airlines sell premium seats. Here's where ours come from.
Private & unpublished rates
Contracted and promotional fares are distributed only through agencies. We search them alongside the public fare for every request.
Smarter routing
A different gateway, connection or airline partner can cut the price of the same cabin by thousands. Knowing where to look is the craft.
Our promise
Peace of mind, included.
Real airline tickets
Every ticket is issued with an airline confirmation number you can look up on the airline's own website.
Miles & status
Most fares earn miles and status credit. We tell you exactly what yours earns before you commit.
One clear price
Your quote shows the full round-trip price with taxes and fees. Nothing is charged until you approve it.
A human concierge
One fare specialist from first message to final landing — seat selection, changes and special requests.
Your private fare
Your seat at the front is waiting.
Tell us where and when. A fare specialist will reply with a private quote — usually within a couple of hours.
