OAG adds flight booking facility
Official Airline Guide (OAG) is now allowing bookings on its flight look-up service.
Its website, which displays every scheduled flight worldwide including low cost airlines, has extended a partnership with internet travel search company, SideStep, to integrate a fare search and booking facility.
David Rosen, managing director OAG Travel Services, said: “OAG is the original source of the flight schedules information you see on most travel websites, but without the bias.
“We are introducing fares and booking to our online service as a direct result of customer feedback. Our subscribers love the completeness and simplicity of OAG Flights, and want the ability to book as well.”
He said OAG already uses SideStep to power bookings on its hosted timetable solutions for airports but this has now been extended to offer the same facility to its business and leisure travel customers
OAG Flights is a subscription-based service showing departure and arrival times, flight durations, airport and terminal information and related information about direct and connecting flights.
Subscribers are also able to keep track of a flight’s real time status to check whether it is on-time or delayed.
