§
When you shop for flights and fares on the Internet, with near certainty, the website booking engine you shop with will access one of the following Global Distribution Sytems: Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport (Galileo & Worldspan), Abacus, TravelSky, KIU or SHARES. The largest among them is Travelport which carries about forty percent of the world’s available flights and fares. With that information, a person quickly sees that a one stop shop is a very limited resource.
¶
Beyond that apparent resource limitation is the fact that airline consolidators and some air ticket agencies and some airlines do not use a GDS at all. Instead, they operate their own database of flights and fares which they own. Access to their inventory is, alone, through a proprietary booking engine. Among those airline consolidators and air ticket agencies that deploy website booking engines at all, some will access only the proprietary database and provide a null search result when no itinerary of theirs will serve the itinerary that you input; and some will rebound to a GDS and display the GDS results when no itinerary of theirs will serve the one that you input. The first case leaves you hanging without flight search results. The second case leaves you with flights and fares similar to many other sources. Airline consolidators buy airline tickets in bulk and resell them to the general public using travel egencies and travel coordinators for businesses. Consolidators are small to medium sized enterprises and contract with as few as one or two airlines or as many as thirty five or forty. Since more than seven hundred airlines are active across the globe, the reach of consolidators is quite limited. Beyond that, consolidators do not contract every flight and every itinerary; only the ones that airlines make available and, among those, only the ones that the consolidator has reasoned hope for potential sales.
¶
In case 2, when flights and fares are displayed and you book one, a two step must be accomplished behind the booking engine. Firstly, the booking is presented to the airline behind a firewall and the airline checks each flight segment for seat availability et al and then for contract qualification and other (nothing about you) details. If all the airline checks succeed, the consolidator gets a go from the airline and begins to process your booking (mostly about you). When all checks succeed, your payment is accepted and tickets are issued. Case 2 can seem like a bait and switch but truly, it is not. A proprietary flight and fare displayed can be rejected by the airline (usually because seats are not available across the entire itinerary)(sometimes because the consolidator has oversold its quota for that travel day)(sometimes because the airline sold the same seats at a higher price)(etc.). The consolidator must then try another itinerary, in its own inventory, to approximate your booking request or rebound to a GDS when the consolidator owns nothing that will serve you. In either case, the price will be different and usually (but not always) higher. With that knowledge, you can appreciate the second effort to meet your travel needs and try yet another booking engine if nothing presented is acceptable.
¶
Allotments to a consolidator for any given flight on any given date can be as few as four seats at the lowest price and maybe seven and nine seats at the next up price tiers. When these seats are sold; that ends it for that consolidator’s pricing for that flight on that date. The airline holds the contractual discretion to add another allotment at any price tier. Sometimes it will.
¶
By aggregating global distribution systems and the inventory of airline consolidators, air ticket brokers, and airlines worldwide, The Center provides access to the greatest number of public and privately held airfares in every class with almost every airline in the world. In this aggregation, access is made available to every global distribution system and to the proprietary inventory of many airline consolidators, air ticket brokers and agencies and individual airlines worldwide via their booking engines. While this website will always have more than one hundred internet booking engines deployed, not all of them apply to a singular shopping situation. All of the engines that do apply can usually be shopped within a period of ninety minutes. You are very likely to save at least one dollar for each minute of shopping; so pay yourself well.
¶
Make time to become familiar with the Center and the Internet booking engines deployed here. Deployment is based upon the world region that the flight of origin will depart from. Each booking engine is owned by an independent air company and each will have unique strengths and weaknesses that vary by the subset of airlines under contract, the terms and net pricing under each contract, and by which GDS is accessed on the rebound when no contracted itineraries are available to serve you. Features and function will vary too. Get to know them. Run some tests by shopping for a likely upcoming trip and discover the strengths and weakness of each engine.
§
Take a deep breath and shake off the frustration. Take the time required to find the Internet booking engines that will give you access to the airfare databases you want to leverage for your current trip. Then take the time you need to shop them. No single database and no centralized system will ever hold the best itinerary or the lowest price all of the time. Airline seat availability and prices are in constant flux from hour to hour. Discount seats are offered and sold out, promotions begin and end, air routes change, flights are added and discontinued, independent companies make their prices available and their seat allotment becomes sold out, airlines alter their base prices, a regulatory body adds or removes a fee, a government adds or removes a tax, operating costs change, and airlines sometimes engage in pricing contests; all of these and other influences mean that prices are constantly in flux and that the impact upon one database of fares will not be the same as upon another. Shop at least three; but four, five, and six Internet booking engines are better and better for making sure you are not missing an appreciably lower price and or a better itinerary and or a favored airline. If needed, use two or more engines and two or more tickets to build your own itinerary at a price you are happy to pay. Be aware that no seat and no fare is ever confirmed by an airline until the ticket is actually issued.
