Amadeus Airport Express

Did you know that between 40-80% of inbound travellers do not know what form of transport they will take to the city centre, until they arrive at their destination? Amadeus can help reduce that figure. Our Airport Express solution continues to help airport express companies extend their reach, by putting their service on the same screen as airlines using Carrier code 9G.

Amadeus Airport Express allows Airport Transportation services to become visible to valuable customers who can now purchase their Airport Express ticket as a part of their global trip. In terms of revenues this means a step ahead the competition and therefore increased your sales and revenues.  This can be booked and priced in the Selling Platform and ticketed on Hahn Air (HR).  

See GGAIRHRPGO for more information.

Air Asia  

Air Asia (AK, FD, QZ, D7) is now bookable via Ticketless Access entries. Functionality has been enhanced to allow mixed Air Asia carriers in the same PNR plus international flight continuation and Open Jaws. Air Asia's systems require that "at least one airport of each itinerary segment is located in the same country of the departure point of the first segment present in the PNR." If this condition cannot be met, agents should create separate Air Asia bookings. See GGAIRD7 or any of the other 2-letter Air Asia carrier codes for more details.  

 

Transavia

Transavia (HV,PH,TO) no longer applies the fare differential of EUR5 per segment for all bookings created through Amadeus. Now travel agents are able to offer travellers the same prices as transavia.com itself offers on its website. According to the airline, this ensures that travel agents have access to the cheapest transavia.com web fares when booking through Amadeus.

easyCruise

For summer 2010 easyCruise is offering a 20% early booking discount on all three and four night cruises departing from Piraeus (Athens) and Kusadasi in Turkey. From April until October, the cruises visit some of the most stunning Greek islands including Santorini, Mykonos and Crete. Early booking prices are valid until 31 December 2009 with a three night cruise fare now from as little as 192 per adult (reduced from 240) plus port charges.  Travellers who are planning a city break to Athens or a touring holiday of Greece or Turkey can easily add in a short cruise to their itinerary to combine history and culture with magnificent sightseeing in the Greek Islands.  easyCruise offers shore excursions in every port of call and travel agents can earn commission on all pre bookable options. Prices include accommodation, full board and daily housekeeping.  Booking for travel agents couldn’t be simpler – easyCruise is available on Amadeus Cruise.
