TelMe Farebase Technology Enables Agents to Benefit From Low Cost Airlines

Travel technology e-commerce and air fares distribution specialists, TelMe Farebase has signed an agreement with experienced travel integration solutions provider, Multicom, which has facilitated the launch of its new Combi Search product to enable agents to benefit from no frills flight bookings. This new Combi Search system allows the agent to quickly and easily select a predetermined level of remuneration, on any given low cost flight, and this enhanced price is then shown on the agent’s web site. The system automatically books the customer’s chosen flight with the low cost carrier, at the lower price, utilising the agent’s credit card. The enhanced price is charged to the booker’s credit card which is simultaneously paid into the agents bank account. All the transactions are completed without the customer having to leave the agent’s web site for the booking. Fare searches can simultaneously be carried out for published, consolidated, charter, schedule fares and/or no frills airlines including, Air Scotland, Air Southwest, BasiqAir Bmibaby, EasyJet, FlyBe, Globespan, Jet2, Monarch, Mytravel Lite, Ryanair and Zoom. The search can be achieved on one screen without the need to access both systems. Peter Muller, Managing Director of TelMe Farebase, commented, “Low cost carriers have made big inroads into the marketplace and it is important for agents to be able to harness this impact for their own benefit. This way they can continue to control their destiny regardless of dictates from third party suppliers. We know that when they look at our new product, they will quickly realise that there are some real benefits from the increased business opportunities it can offer”.
