Sabre GDS Display Analysis
Did you know that 95 percent of travel agency bookings in the global distribution system (GDS) channel are made for flights displayed on lines 1 – 3? And that improving your availability displays can increase your GDS channel revenue from .5 percent to 3 percent? Having the right competitive market insight enables you to make better decisions on how to maximize your product sales in every market.
Key Benefits
The Sabre® GDS Display Analysis solution enables an airline to access, compare and monitor competitive market data. Using this tool helps you more effectively plan and execute schedules, structure pricing and enforce accuracy, consistency and compliancy across global distribution channels as it:
- Automates the extraction of information from GDS displays and compares it against your host system data,
- Identifies discrepancies related to availability, schedules, pricing, taxes and minimum connect times,
- Allows you to correct costly discrepancies faster,
- Verifies that your non-stop and direct flights have a prominent screen position,
- Ensures that your fares are being auto-priced correctly in each GDS.
Increases Revenue
Selling more seats maximizes revenue per flight. GDS Display Analysis helps you proactively ensure your inventory is open for sale in each market where available. As availability discrepancies are identified, you can quickly send an AVS teletype message to correct inventory displays for any market, which can increase GDS revenue from .5 percent to 3 percent annually.
Additionally, with comparative data on schedules and pricing, you can ensure your flight schedules have a more prominent screen position relative to competitors’ to increase GDS bookings from
1 percent to 5 percent annually and associated GDS revenue from 25 percent to 2 percent annually.
Reduces Costs
Airlines must often pay exorbitant amounts of taxes that were for whatever reason not identified or included in the pricing from the GDS channel. GDS Display Analysis can help you ensure that all GDSs are pricing and including the correct taxes in each market to avoid costly uncollected government taxes.
Improves Traveler Experience
Sabre GDS Display Analysis verifies that your minimum connect times (MCTs) for all markets are loaded properly into each GDS and are accurately applied to booked itineraries to avoid misconnects and provide more positive traveler experiences.
