Sabre launches new AI-powered airline upgrade tool
Sabre Corporation announced its newest AI-powered retailing solution for airlines.
Sabre Upgrade IQ helps airlines generate incremental revenue by optimizing the available inventory in their premium cabins.
With Upgrade IQ, airlines can give travellers the opportunity to bid for an airline upgrade seat at any stage during the pre-travel timeframe.
This includes throughout the booking flow, at check-in, in the airline’s mobile app or via email.
Using machine-learning models powered by Sabre Travel AI, it dynamically prices upgrade offers, recommending the minimum and maximum proposed bid values along with the starting price for the bid.
During beta testing, Upgrade IQ delivered up to 20% uplift in incremental revenue by filling empty seats in premium cabins.
Sabre has integrated with Hopper‘s platform to create a streamlined customer experience.
The new Sabre solution incorporates Hopper’s advanced bidding platform in multiple languages and in-real time.
“By collaborating with Google and Hopper, we have delivered a modern retailing solution to help airlines better manage seat upgrades,” said Garry Wiseman, Chief Product Officer, Sabre Travel Solutions.
“We are thrilled with the positive response we’re receiving from airline customers.”
