Flybe has launched an initiative that it claims will make it easier for agents to book its New Economy product, which bundles together a number of extras such as check-in luggage and seat selection for a single fee.
Previously, the bundle had to be booked separately to the fare, but this has now been loaded as a special fare basis across all distribution channels.
Director of sales Stephen Hobday said: "Whilst the undoubted benefits of New Economy sell themselves, we nevertheless needed to create a mechanism to save time for TMCs and costs for corporate customers when booking in the GDS.
"With the support of our trade and GDS partners, we are delighted to have now achieved this to everyone’s satisfaction."
Robin Ranken, head of Supplier Europe from Travelport, Flybe’s preferred GDS, said : "We are delighted to be working with Flybe to bring their complete product offering to our travel agency customers worldwide.
"The new bundled fares will make it quicker and easier for agents to book and as a GDS that drives efficiencies across the travel supply chain."
