Southwest is now live in the Sabre GDS for corporate travel bookings.<\/p>\n
Monday’s landmark move marks the first time Southwest content has been available in all three major GDSs. Southwest went live for corporate bookings in the Amadeus and Travelport GDSs in 2020.<\/p>\n
In May, vice president of Southwest business Dave Harvey told Travel Weekly’s sister publication Business Travel News that TMCs would have access to 98% to 99% of Southwest content. Excluded content includes promotional sales that largely target leisure travel, such as $39 fares to Hawaii.<\/p>\n
The Southwest-Sabre full-participation agreement also includes ARC ticketing and settlement.<\/p>\n
The agreement does not apply to leisure travel agencies.<\/p>\n
