New generation multi-carrier flight search for lastminute.com
Sabre-owned lastminute.com has launched an online multi-carrier flight search display in a calendar format supplied by Amadeus.
The functionality is available on lastminute.com’s UK and Spanish websites and will be introduced across its other sites in France, Italy and Ireland in the next two weeks, followed by Germany in the New Year.
Amadeus Master Pricer Calendar claims to return the best available fares for the three days before and three days after the chosen dates of travel.
Lastminute.com has customised Master Pricer Calendar to display the brand of each airline offering the best fare on a given day. This allows users to exercise their loyalty to lastminute.com’s airline partners’ brands.
CEO Ian McCaig said: “We are delighted to be the pan-European launch partner for Amadeus’s new multi-carrier flight search display technology.
“Our consumers have been asking for a flexible date shopping option that encompasses our extraordinary range of airline content. We can now offer customers more flexibility on their travel dates and a wider choice of available fares and airline options as part of one search, empowering them to more informed travel choices.”
Master Pricer Calendar is the second generation of Amadeus’ low-fare search tool, Master Pricer, which claims to handle more than 170 million transactions a month.
The third generation of this technology is already in development and due to be launched in 2007.
