What does "consolidated" mean?
What does "consolidated" mean?
"Consolidated" is an industry term referring to pre-booked space bought by an agent from an airline in advance. Because the space is bought in advance over the given time period, the airline will offer the space at a reduced cost.
The UK agent will issue a "Master Air Waybill" covering all the individual shipments in the consolidation. Each individual shipment will have its own "House Air Waybill" (HAWB).
Benefits
- Reduced freight costs, especially for smaller shipments.
- An Agent is preselected at destination (useful if the consignee does not have an Agent - see also below).
Drawbacks
- The "consols" are only available on certain days which may not coincide with your preferred departure date.
- The Agent at destination is predetermined by the Agent in the UK, which may not suit the consignee (receiver) if they already have their own Agent.
- Consols are only available on major routes.
What is "back to back"?
What is "back to back"?
"Back to Back" is the industry term for an individual booking made direct with the Airline, i.e. not "consolidated" with other shipments. It is allocated its own straightforward "Air Waybill" (not Master & House Air Waybills as for Consolidated bookings).
Benefits
- Greater selection of direct flights and routes.
- The consignee (receiver) can select their own Agent at destination.
Drawbacks
- Can be more expensive for smaller shipments.
- No pre-selected Agent at destination if the consignee does not have an Agent (see also benefits).
