Travelport+ is our modern retailing platform, dedicated to making retailing easier, smarter, and faster for agencies. You can access our platform via our three core products, our smooth point of sales Smartpoint, or our easily and quickly integrated API suite. Along with these products, we provide agencies with numerous sub-products and tools to cut down on the tasks that take up time for an agency: ticketing, exchanges, updating customers, self-service and managing costs.
Travelport+ delivers multi-source content — including NDC, traditional air, low-cost carriers, hotel, car, rail options, and ancillaries — through an easy-to-use workflow. Intelligent AI/machine learning tools allow agents to quickly access curated, retail-ready content to enhance the booking experience.
NDC stands for New Distribution Capability, which is a set of standards developed by IATA (the International Air Transport Association) over a decade ago to modernize airline distribution systems. NDC enables airlines to provide agents and third-party retailers with consistent and accurate flight schedules, services, availability, and pricing information. Agencies can access NDC content through Smartpoint and our API Suite.
NDC content for airlines across the globe (26 airlines and counting) is accessible on Travelport+, alongside traditional air offers, ancillaries, hotel, car, and rail, plus the infinite range of fare options available.
A global distribution system (GDS) is a platform that enables agencies to search, compare, and book available seats and fares for hundreds of airlines, all from one system. Content for hotels, car rental, rail, and other travel products are also available on a GDS, and we connect this content with travel agencies, travel suppliers and buyers.
Travelport+ is the modern retailing platform that puts agencies first. Built on the Galileo core GDS, Travelport+ enables agencies with faster searches, easier automation, and the power of AI/machine learning to return the most relevant content — whether traditional GDS fares or NDC offers.
Agencies can use Travelport+ through Smartpoint, our booking tool for agents, providing easier, smarter, faster travel retailing. Travelport+ can also be accessed via our API Suite, a set of powerful, simple standards-based programming interfaces that connect travel businesses to rich, multi-source content.
Travelport+ amplifies modern retailing through personalization, self-service options, and smooth trip management. Our platform, powered by AI and machine learning, filters and curates content, enabling agents to deliver the right offer at the right time to customers.
