Here are a sampling of a number of [**Avanti Journey**](http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c9048339#/c9048339/4) itineraries and pricing from JFK: As evident looking at these itineraries, they each include a number of terrific inclusions, some private, some shared, and required transportation to see the sights or get from city to city if multiple city itineraries are selected−it’s all included for one set-price. Given the values negotiated with Avanti’s suppliers to construct these special packages the **standard commission is 10% to all Agents**, but it is important to note that the entire package is commissioned at 10% including the contract air component. We're very excited to launch this new and unique product and we hope your clients will find the value in it! - [Avanti Journeys](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/the-avanti-traveler/tag/avanti-journeys) 0 ![John Hanratty](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/hubfs/John%20H.jpg) [John Hanratty](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/the-avanti-traveler/author/john-hanratty) Mr. Hanratty has held senior executive positions in four major industries in his 47 year career, the last 21 years in travel.
