BCD Travel has launched a business travel solution tailored for office managers, operations managers, and executive assistants, aiming to simplify booking, reduce manual coordination, and provide direct traveler support. The solution integrates booking, communication, and support in one place, handles VIP and guest travel, and helps organizations without a dedicated travel manager manage travel efficiently.
Travelport's TripServices Flights API release AirReservation 26.11.29W adds the ability to return all locators from a queue. By default, requesting a list of bookings on a queue returns the first 100; if more than 100 bookings are in a queue, the response returns additionalReservationsExistInd=true. To return all bookings, include the header parameter RetrieveAllInd=true in the request. This feature applies to GDS only.
