The flights module

A complete flight booking engine, ready to plug in

Start from a supported flight module instead of rebuilding search, pricing, booking and ticketing from scratch. Connect your own GDS or consolidator contracts and sell on your website, to agents, and in the app.

  1. Connect your Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport or consolidator credentials
  2. Turn on one-way, round-trip and multi-city with fare rules and markups
  3. Wire payments: authorise, capture, void and refund
  4. Embed the flight search on your storefront and B2B portal
  5. Hold, confirm and issue e-tickets; changes and refunds from the admin

  6. Changes

FAQ

Flight booking software questions

What agencies ask before launching a flight booking engine.

Talk to sales

The system that lets customers search flights, price an itinerary, pay, book and receive an e-ticket on your own website, with an admin to manage changes, refunds and reports.

Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport through native adapters, covering search, fare rules, PNR create and retrieve, ticketing, changes and refunds, plus NDC and low-cost content through consolidators such as Duffel, Kiwi and PKfare.

Yes. Every plan includes the full source code under a commercial licence, so your developers can read and extend search, markups and integrations, and you host it yourself.

Yes. Use supplier sandbox credentials where available while you build and test, then switch to production credentials and complete any certification your supplier requires.

With each booking, together with the supplier reference, fare basis, baggage and the hold, confirm and ticketing times, so your team can service changes and reconcile.

The fare is revalidated before payment, and booking and payment calls are idempotent, so a retry never creates a second booking or charges twice.

Yes. Agents book in the B2B portal with their own rates, commissions and wallet balance, from the same installation as your B2C site.

Speed depends mostly on the supplier, routing and caching. Filters, timeouts, retries and caching where allowed keep the first results fast and the booking flow stable.
