Sabre Air Shopping
Each day you are asked to find the lowest fares advertised and seats available for those fares on dates that your customers want to travel. You need products to help you quickly locate the lowest prices and create the best travel itineraries possible. Don’t just take our word for it. It’s been proven by a recent independent study. Overall, as a U.S. agent selling a mix of domestic and international destinations, you could save your customers an average of 10% on air travel by using the Sabre® GDS.
When it comes to finding low airfares, Sabre beats all others. And we find the lowest available fare up to 15 times more often than other GDSs in North America alone. Check our or average savings per region:

Features
Each of the shopping features within our Air Shopping product line provides an enhanced search for the best fare, based on specific criteria provided by your customer.
FlightFinder automatically finds flights for the fares your customers want, eliminating the need to read fare rules and manually search for flight availability.
Starting directly from a fare display, simply indicate the fare you want, how many passengers are traveling, and the FlightFinder feature does the rest. Only the flights that are applicable and available for outbound and inbound travel will be returned at the selected fare for the indicated number of passengers. Once you've selected the flights, the FlightFinder feature will automatically sell the selected flights and display the price with all taxes, surcharges and fees.
FlightFinder also offers valuable alternate date searching capabilities. If a requested fare is not available on a desired date, the FlightFinder feature will automatically search up to seven alternate dates that will still provide the selected fare. In addition, you can search for up to seven alternate dates in each direction based on the outbound, inbound, and trip duration flexibility of the passenger. Non-sequential date searching is also available to search up to seven unrelated alternate dates (such as the next seven weekends).
Bargain Finder Plus enables you to find lower-priced itinerary options. Our Bargain Finder Plus feature takes the guesswork out of locating lower fares, making the process more efficient and much less time consuming.
With only one entry, more than 1,000 different travel options are evaluated and you'll receive up to nine lower fare options, including alternative airlines, times of day, and inventory that can be booked from that response. Bargain Finder Plus also automatically advises you to change the class of service when necessary to offer a lower fare on the same itinerary.
