1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) has introduced a travel booking solution for travel advisors in partnership with Sabre.
Called 1000Access, it is integrated with the Sabre Global Distribution System (GDS), and utilises Sabre Red Launchpad tech.
The platform is set to provide travel advisors with a seamless travel booking experience.
1000Access makes it easy for independent travel advisors to book trips quickly.
1000MTG travel advisors can shop, book and ticket traditional air content, NDC offers, and low-cost carrier XML options.
Over time, 1000MTG will activate additional capabilities, including hotel and ground transport booking content.
“1000Access represents a paradigm shift in booking travel, blending cutting-edge technology with personalised support,” said Ben Ross, 1000MTG CEO.
1000Access offers 24/7 automated ticketing capabilities, varying commission rates and access to a dedicated Global Fares Desk Manager.
It also has after-hours support and phone assistance for urgent same-day departures.
There is in addition, streamlined reporting for travel advisor Virtuoso members
“1000MTG provided critical insights that helped us go from concept to working code in mere months,” said Kathy Morgan, Vice President of Product Management, Distribution Experience, Sabre Travel Solutions.
1000Access will be available to a wide audience, including: 1000MTG travel advisors who receive the platform as part of their membership; Virtuoso members; and mid-sized agencies in North America.
There are plans to launch into the United Kingdom and Australia later this year.
