No Other GDS Can Beat Sabre’s Ability to Deliver the Lowest Fares
When it comes to finding the lowest available fares most consistently, Sabre Travel Network® is the proven leader in all regions of the world – as confirmed by Topaz International, an independent research firm.
On average, Sabre was nearly 15 times more likely to find the lowest available fare in North America versus all other GDSs. That translates into corporations saving an average of 10 percent per ticket. Access the full study results and download our white paper.
How can Sabre find the lowest available fares more often? It all starts with our unmatched experience.
Unmatched Experience
Our world-class team of Operations Research Ph.D.s pioneered the field of airline revenue management. These are the same scientists who designed the very technologies used by many airlines around the world today. So our rich history provides unrivaled insight on how to navigate a near infinite set of possibilities to find the lowest available fares.
And it all comes together in a four-step shopping process executed in seconds with each travel request. Here’s how it works:
Step One
Identify All Logical Flight Possibilities
Our scientists developed a patent-pending algorithm that leads the league in identifying all logical flight combinations. The system constructs all possible routings to get from point A to point B and back without sending you through LAX on your way from NYC to LON.
Step Two
Filter Out Flights With No Available Low Fare Seats
The universe of possibilities for many O&Ds is nearly endless. So it’s not feasible to price and confirm true availability for every combination. Our proprietary algorithms and new-generation “availability caching” technology go to work, identifying the flights that are likely to have seats available in low fare inventory buckets. The Sabre® system is so advanced that with each and every search it literally grows smarter – a distinct advantage over any other GDS. And because we process up to one million transactions every minute - our system, knows better than any other on earth which flights most likely have seats available in low-fare inventory buckets.
Step Three
Select Flights Most Likely to Provide Lowest Available Fares
This is where our revolutionary open-system air shopping technology and proprietary algorithms engage. Our scientists designed these shopping systems to intelligently evaluate the largest subset of available flights from the universe of potential options. That’s how we’re able to pinpoint the flights most likely to yield the lowest fares for your travel request.
Step Four
Confirm Pricing and Availability
Finally, the system validates real-time pricing and availability, including complex tax calculations and combinability rules. This last, and most important step is so accurate that Sabre guarantees each and every fare we quote. The end result is a robust selection of flights with the lowest available fares for your trip.
And all of this happens in a matter of seconds. So remember that all GDS systems are not created equal. Set your expectations higher and ensure that the Sabre GDS powers your travel program.
