ARC or Airline Reporting Corporation is a Number that Travel Agencies have in order to do their own Airline Ticketing.... Trust me...After 8 years in Travel Agencies I saw one to many of those Ticketing reports...Used to have to do them Once a Week For Previous Weeks Tickets.... Now I believe they have to Do These reports more often to keep from what we used to do.... If someone didn't pick up a ticket by weeks end we would simply VOID the ticket.... This ought to be interesting.....
