Hi,
I am looking for the possibility to book/broker airline tickets for people and to make money that way. I am not a licensed travel agent neither did I take classes or training on that subject. Can anyone show me the way?
Thank you in advance.

I think you have to ask yourself why anyone would use your services.

Because the people I deal with either don't speak or don't write/read English. Others don't have access to computer/Internet and are even computer illiterate. I hope this helps you come with an answer.

No, not really - airlines and travel agents have people who speak all languages on board. If you have no licenses you will not have the ability to offer special "deals" to your customers.

However, if this is something you are interested in you would need a business prototype to take to a bank or financial institution in order to set up funding as well as an idea which airlines you are planning to represent and an understanding with those airlines that you are allowed to broker their tickets.

And you would have to determine how you are going to make money on the transactions. You are aware that travel agents make their money from the destination, not from the traveller.
