Travelport Booking Feed offers a rich, accurate, reliable, and flexible data source to help negotiate better deals with vendors, monitor travel budgeting, and enhance Customer Relationship Management. It provides reliable data to monitor reservation compliance with travel policy right after a booking is made, not after the trip is taken. With Travelport Booking Feed, travel business managers can extensively analyze travel patterns and travel policy compliance, as well as assist in vendor negotiations, business operations, and budgeting. Travelport Booking Feed also supplies customers with factual, supervisory guidance by providing cost containment based on database management.

You’ll receive an automated message when
- A booking is created
- An existing booking is modified by adding or deleting an itinerary item.
- A fare quote is added or deleted
- A ticket is issued, voided, or un-voided
