Maybe you're using the wrong channels. How about reaching out to biz devs at all the various Expedia-type sites to see if they are interested in doing a little up-selling during check out as an affiliate or something?

I completely agree and we would love to partner with someone like this. Talking with others who have tried going down this road, I've heard it's difficult to impossible to land a partnership like that, so we've been hesitant to put a lot of effort into trying. Perhaps it's time to give partnerships a shot.
