FAQ: Earnings and commissions

What is the difference between "retail" bookings and "discount" bookings?

Customers are shown all relevant flight information -- flight times, airline name, etc. -- before booking a retail airline ticket. With Hotwire Hot Rate tickets, customers are shown detailed flight information only after the booking is complete.
