Search engine on the Agency commission list tab

You can search using the following fields:

  • Organisation,
  • User,
  • Primary and secondary source,
  • Commission rate.

Adding user
labels to the reservation channel lists

User labels are now also displayed in brackets on the reservation channel lists within the agency commission tab.

Changing a user’s label is better than changing an identifier’s label, as it has no impact on applying agency commissions to your products.

Displaying air miles in flight boxes

Miles associated with each flight are shown to encourage travellers to choose flights that benefit them, rather than simply the cheapest flights. Travellers may choose more expensive flights, but they’ll also earn more miles. This approach with both pricing and miles helps you to increase your revenue from selling flights.

With a direct connection to the ‘30K’ solution, it’s now possible to display the number of miles that can be earned from each flight within the airline’s ‘default or basic’ booking process.

Over 65 reward programmes covering more than 150 airlines across the world are now available with this connection :

  • Flying blue,
  • Miles & More,
  • Executive Club,

This addition is available in pre-package, flight and dynamic package sales processes.


          Search engine results within the pre-package booking process

In the box showing outbound/return flights, the reward programme name, as well as the amount and type of miles to be earned are now displayed at the same level as the total price for all outbound/return flights involved.


Zoom in on the flight box for more details

Where you have multi-airline flights, the list of different miles programmes will be shown.
