Sabre offers book now, pay later function
Sabre Pacific has launched a range of updates to its online booking engine, Sabre Explore, aimed at improving flexibility for both agents and customers.
Most notably, the update introduces new functionality which allows travellers to place bookings on hold and pay at a later date.
Sabre Explore will now recognise the ticketing time limit on the selected fare and send an automated alert to prompt the traveller to make the payment before the appropriate date.
General manager product, marketing & distribution, Richard Morgan, says the increased flexibility will equate to a level of customer experience unique to Sabre Explore.
“Agents using Sabre Explore to power their website will now have a distinct online advantage,†says Morgan.
“It’s about giving travellers a convenient way to book online, knowing that their trusted travel agent is still there when assistance is required.â€
The latest innovation comes along with the launch of the ‘Sabre Explore Administration Tool’ and new compatibility with ‘Sabre Agency Fares’.
Highlights of the ‘Sabre Explore Administration Tool’ include the ability to apply a blanket discount to published Australian fares, the ability to configure the application’s header and footer to maintain consistent branding, and new flexibility to accept multiple forms of ticket payment.
In addition to accessing thousands of published fares in the Sabre GDS, ‘Sabre Agency Fares’ will also offer customers further access to over 90,000 international net fare city pairs online, through their favourite travel agent.
“Sabre Explore is already powering three key leisure travel group websites across Australia and New Zealand, while simultaneously gaining momentum in key growth markets including China, Hong Kong, South East Asia and India,†says Morgan.
