Global airline accreditation
IATA / TIDS Accredited
Explera Vacations is IATA-recognised through the Travel Industry Designator Service (TIDS), the International Air Transport Association’s global identifier for bona-fide travel sellers. It is the credential that lets us issue airline tickets and access industry fares directly.
Issued by International Air Transport Association (IATA) · since 2022
What it is
- IATA is the trade association of the world’s airlines, setting the standards that govern how tickets are sold and settled worldwide.
- A TIDS code is IATA’s unique identifier for a verified travel agency, accepted by airlines, consolidators and hotel chains as proof that a seller is legitimate.
- It gives an agency direct, standardised access to airline inventory and negotiated fares rather than reselling at a mark-up.
Why it matters
