In recent years, the flight booking segment of the travel sector
has become increasingly competitive. With the largest tour operators and
websites offering customers a wide range of options all in one place,
it’s difficult for the smaller travel agents to compete.
As ever, at Travel Boutique Online, we’ve developed a solution
which allows small- and medium-sized travel agents in India to overcome
this challenge. This solution will enable you to sell a vast inventory
of flights from a large pool of airlines direct to your customers.
What is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface, and in
simple terms is a way for one company to legitimately access the
products of another. At TBO, when we provide you with access to our
flight API, and once it is integrated into your website, it will allow
your customers and your business access to a great variety of services.
- Flight search – domestic and international
- Easy implementation
- Integration support
- Real time booking
- Ticket cancellation, reissuance – real time cancellation of LCCs
USPs
The competitive nature of the travel industry means it’s more
important than ever to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Here are
just some of the ways that the TBO flight API will help you to do this:
- New airline sources recently added include AirCosta, AirAsia, FlyDubai and AirIndiaExpress
- Special Service Requests (SSR) have been incorporated, such as additional baggage allowance requests and meal specifications
- Air fare calendar
- Multi-way search
Benefits
Once the flight API has been integrated with your website,
you will immediately start to discover the great advantages it offers to
your business.
Vast Inventory
With the flight details of numerous
airlines aggregated and integrated into a single search and booking
engine, the inventory you are able to offer to your customers will
increase dramatically.
Time saving
Booking flight tickets will become a much quicker, slicker
process, due to a user-friendly interface and instant confirmation. No
longer will you need to enter data manually on multiple occasions, as
our API will hold all the details and information you need in one place.
Cost savings
Cost savings will be evident in many areas. Software is not
needed, so no installation or maintenance will be required. The ability
to book instantly, with real time pricing and availability on display
will save a great deal of time and reduce operational costs. Integration
with the TBO flight API will give you access to all the airlines we’ve
partnered with for a one-time fee. This means you will not have to spend
anything on system or content development at any point in the future.
Easy to use…
The coding will be handled by us, meaning you can concentrate on
operating the simple, yet comprehensive, admin panel and dealing with
your customers. The XML code that is used is common across the industry
and so can easily and quickly be modified by our developers should this
be required.
Personalised service
The TBO API will allow you to integrate all the flight-related
services we offer with your own systems, databases and websites. This
will enable you to host a web booking engine that requests real time
information from TBO and immediately displays the results for use by the
customer. This can be designed in any way you please, and a payment
gateway can also be incorporated should this be required.
