Sabre Travel Network Enhances Offering for Fully Automated Fare By
Rule Capability to Air Pricing Suite Global Solution for Category
25 Provides Airlines and Travel Agencies the Ability to
Automatically Accept and Process Discounted Fares SOUTHLAKE, Texas,
April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Travel Network, the Sabre Holdings
business that connects travel suppliers and agents through the
world's leading global distribution system (GDS), announced today
the global release of a newly enhanced automated solution that
further simplifies complicated negotiated fare contracts. With the
automated solution, airlines file published fares and rules via
Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCo) using the Category 25
Fare by Rule process to attach corporate discount formulas and
client-specific fare rules to the fares they file. The Sabre GDS
then accepts the ATPCo Fare by Rule feeds, automatically
calculating the appropriate fare. "We are committed to providing
quality fare information, enhancing efficiency for agents and
guaranteeing fares that are auto-priced and auto- ticketed in the
Sabre GDS," said John Stow, president of Sabre Travel Network.
"This development allows more accurate and quicker filings,
decreasing the agent workload and the presence of human error." The
process virtually eliminates discrepancies caused by manual input
of the rules because there is no interpretation, just automation.
The development also minimizes travel agency debit memos, gives
agents access to the most current negotiated fares, and provides
integration with all Sabre Travel Network productivity tools, such
as Bargain Finder Plus and Flight Finder. The streamlined,
automated solution allows the use of a corporate ID/account code
for any fare or passenger type and the ability to price a zero
percent discount that includes a ticket designator. Upon filing by
the airlines, the fares are instantly accessible, enabling agents
to use special fares immediately. About Sabre Travel Network Sabre
