For travel agencies and OTAs
Flight booking software that holds up after the search box
Choosing a platform to sell flights is not about the search screen. It is about revalidation before payment, reliable ticketing, refunds and reissues, agent controls and clean accounting. PHPTRAVELS covers all of them in one self-hosted platform.
- Revalidation before payment
- Ticketing, voids and reissues
- Agent wallets and markups
- Charter and group seats
Flight booking software
Sell flights on your own platform, B2C, B2B or both
Flight booking software lets you search, price, book, ticket and service flights using airline content from GDS, NDC and supplier APIs. PHPTRAVELS adds the B2C site, the B2B agent portal, payments, admin and reports around that flow, so you launch with your brand and keep control of your margins.
- Choose your sales model: direct travellers, agents or a hybrid of both
- Connect the GDS, NDC or API suppliers your market needs
- Set markups, service fees, commissions and payment methods
- Book, ticket and service from one admin, with exports for finance
