Seventy-four SmartFlyer affiliate agencies spanning the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia close 2024 between $6.2M and $2M in actualized revenue.
NEW YORK, NY (January 10, 2025) – SmartFlyer proudly celebrates its fourth cohort of SmartFlyer Club 2A, a program launched in 2021 as a tribute to its founder, Michael Holtz. The name is inspired by Holtz’s well-known fondness for seat 2A, which he famously deems as the “prime position” for air travel. Much like its namesake, Club 2A shines a spotlight on some of the most primely positioned travel agencies within the SmartFlyer network—businesses that distinguish themselves through outstanding performance, innovation, and potential.
To qualify for Club 2A, affiliates must achieve a minimum of $2 million in actualized revenue. This distinction not only acknowledges the unparalleled accomplishments of its members but also distinguishes them within the luxury travel industry.
Further elevating this spirit of recognition, SmartFlyer established SmartFlyer Cirrus, a program honoring the top ten agencies within Club 2A. These industry-leading affiliates are celebrated as among the highest-performing members of the network, signifying their remarkable contributions and commitment to success.
SmartFlyer Cirrus 2024
This year, SmartFlyer Cirrus represents agencies achieving revenues ranging from $6.2M to $4.8M, surpassing the $2M threshold for SmartFlyer Club 2A recognition by more than double—and in some cases, close to triple.
