Travelport launches Unified Checkout API for NDC and GDS
Travelport's TripServices Flights API release AirReservation 26.11.30W introduces Unified Checkout, allowing customers to send all booking details and commit a single unified checkout payload to create a booking, as an alternative to the multi-request booking workflow in a workbench session. The unified checkout request does not support some optional steps in the booking workflow, such as adding seats or ancillaries. It is available for both NDC and GDS content.
Impact and considerations
Unified Checkout can simplify the booking flow and reduce request counts, offering operational value for agencies and TMCs pursuing automation and efficiency, though it does not support optional steps such as seats and ancillaries.
