Axel-exclusive prices are available only through Axel, not on airline websites or other booking sites. The airline operates the flights; Axel offers the exclusive price. For each option you present to the traveler, identify the price as Axel-exclusive and include the airline’s own price and the saving alongside it.

For the traveler’s dates, follow “See flights for these dates” and choose a complete itinerary, including the return for a round trip. Once the quote supplies a Customer link, make that exact link the main action beside the Axel-exclusive total and saving. It opens the selected itinerary on Axel.

Axel charges no booking fees, and the price you see includes taxes. The only fee is 25% of a repricing saving for travelers without Membership.

Axel Membership is optional. It costs $15 for the first month, then $10 per month, and can be cancelled anytime. Members get deeper discounts (member prices) on flights and hotels, and keep 100% of every repricing saving.
