Eh hello-
I agree with all your points.
Especially paying travel agents a commision of €1 per sector.
The average booking in Ireland is a return flight for 1.2 people, so Jetmagic was paying travel agents €2.40 on average per booking-the travel agents in Cork are charging booking fees per head of between €15 and €25 anyway, so none of them were turned on by this commision (that cost more to administer than what it was worth to either party), the customer will always have dictated what price/aiport they want anyway; so if an agent can sell them an Aer Lingus Fare to Heathrow cheaper, the chance of the agent being bothered to convince a customer to go with a higher fare to LCY with jetmagic for the extra revenue of a price of a cup of coffee is zero.

Also their website didn't work half the time.
