Travelport Flight API

Travelport Flight API Integration connects your travel website, online travel agency, or booking platform with modern airline shopping, booking, and reservation capabilities powered by Travelport.

At TravelsOTA, we provide end-to-end Travelport Flight API integration services for travel agencies, OTAs, tour operators, travel startups, and travel technology companies. We help businesses integrate flight search, pricing, booking, ticketing, reservation management, airline content, and other essential air-booking workflows into their existing or newly developed travel platforms.

Whether you are building a new online travel agency or upgrading an existing flight booking system, our Travelport API integration services can help you create a scalable and user-friendly flight booking experience.

What Is the Travelport Flight API?

The Travelport Flight API is a collection of travel technology APIs that enables approved travel businesses and developers to access airline content and build flight shopping, booking, ticketing, and reservation-management functionality into their applications.

Travelport’s modern TripServices Flights APIs use RESTful architecture and JSON-based requests and responses, making them suitable for modern websites, mobile applications, booking engines, and enterprise travel platforms.

Through Travelport APIs, a travel platform can interact with flight availability, offers, fares, booking information, traveler details, seats, ancillary services, ticketing functions, and reservation data.

Travelport also supports both traditional GDS content and New Distribution Capability (NDC) content, subject to the agency’s Travelport configuration, airline participation, market availability, and required provisioning.

Travelport Flight API Integration Services

Our Travelport Flight API integration service covers the complete technical workflow required to connect Travelport with your travel booking platform.

We focus on building a stable connection between your frontend booking experience, backend application, Travelport services, payment processes, and booking-management system.

Flight Search Integration

Enable customers to search flights using information such as:

• Origin and destination
• Departure date
• Return date
• One-way journeys
• Round-trip journeys
• Multi-city itineraries
• Number of passengers
• Passenger types
• Cabin preferences
• Airline preferences
• Available fare options

Search results can then be transformed into an easy-to-understand flight comparison interface for your customers.

Real-Time Flight Availability

Travelport APIs can provide flight schedule and availability information based on the requested itinerary.

Your booking platform can display relevant flight options together with information such as departure and arrival times, airline, cabin or class of service, connections, and available flight products.

Availability and functionality may vary between GDS and NDC workflows.

Flight Pricing and Fare Validation

Flight prices can change between the initial search and booking process.

We integrate Travelport pricing workflows so that selected flight offers can be validated or priced before the customer proceeds with the reservation.

This helps your booking engine work with the latest fare information returned by the applicable Travelport workflow.

Branded Fares and Fare Options

Modern airline retailing goes beyond displaying only the lowest available fare.

Depending on airline content and Travelport capabilities, your platform can present different fare brands and service levels, helping travelers compare options based on price and included benefits.

This can provide customers with better visibility when choosing between different airline products.

NDC and GDS Flight Content

Travelport supports both traditional GDS air content and NDC content within its Flights API ecosystem.

This allows eligible travel businesses to build modern airline retailing experiences using multiple content sources.

NDC can provide differentiated airline offers, richer merchandising, ancillary options, and airline-specific products that may differ from traditional distribution content.

NDC access, features, and servicing capabilities depend on Travelport provisioning, airline participation, agency eligibility, market availability, and airline-specific requirements.

Travelport NDC API Integration

New Distribution Capability, commonly known as NDC, is an airline distribution standard developed by IATA.

Travelport integrates NDC airline content into Travelport+ and its TripServices API ecosystem, allowing eligible agencies to work with NDC alongside traditional airline content.

For a modern OTA, this can provide a broader range of airline retailing possibilities without requiring customers to move between multiple booking environments.

Benefits of Travelport NDC Integration

Depending on the participating airline, your Travelport configuration, and enabled capabilities, NDC integration may provide access to:

• NDC airline offers
• Additional fare options
• Airline ancillary products
• Branded airline products
• Seat-related information
• Corporate or private fare functionality where supported
• Modern airline merchandising
• Booking and servicing functionality

NDC capabilities vary by airline, so every implementation should be designed around the specific carriers and functionality required by your travel business.

Travelport Flight Booking API Integration

Searching for a flight is only the beginning of the booking journey.

We can integrate Travelport booking workflows that connect selected flight offers with traveler information and reservation creation.

A typical integration may include creating the booking session, adding the selected flight offer, adding traveler information, processing required booking data, and committing the reservation.

Passenger and Traveler Information

Your flight booking system can securely collect the traveler information required for the applicable booking workflow.

Depending on the reservation and airline requirements, this may include:

• Passenger name
• Passenger type
• Contact information
• Date of birth
• Travel document information
• Frequent flyer information
• Special service requests

The exact information required varies by itinerary, airline, destination, and Travelport workflow.

Reservation Creation and Management

After the required booking information is completed, Travelport can return reservation information that your application can store and display in the customer and administrator interfaces.

We can integrate reservation retrieval functionality so authorized users can access booking information after the initial reservation has been created.

Travelport Airline Ticketing Integration

For eligible and properly configured travel businesses, Travelport provides APIs and workflows related to air ticketing and payments.

Ticketing implementation depends heavily on the agency’s Travelport configuration, airline agreements, accreditation, ticketing authority, payment arrangements, and whether the booking uses GDS or NDC content.

TravelsOTA can integrate the technical ticketing workflow according to the capabilities enabled for your Travelport account.

Seat Map and Seat Selection Integration

A better flight booking experience allows customers to understand their seating options before or during the booking journey.

Where supported, Travelport seat functionality can be integrated to retrieve seat-map information and add supported seat selections to a reservation.

Seat availability, pricing, characteristics, and booking capabilities depend on the airline and content source.

Airline Ancillary Services Integration

Airlines increasingly sell additional services separately from the base airfare.

Travelport provides functionality for working with supported ancillary products.

Depending on airline and content capabilities, these services may include options associated with baggage, seats, and other airline extras.

We can integrate supported ancillary workflows into your OTA so customers can build a more complete flight product while remaining inside your booking platform.

Travelport API Integration Workflow

Every Travelport implementation is different, but a typical flight API integration follows a structured development process.

1. Requirements and Travelport Account Review

We first identify your business model, target markets, desired airlines, Travelport environment, PCC configuration, required modules, booking workflow, and enabled content.

2. API Authentication and Environment Setup

Travelport TripServices APIs use OAuth 2.0 authentication.

We configure the required authentication flow and connect the application with the appropriate Travelport pre-production environment before production deployment.

3. Flight Search Development

We integrate the required flight search workflow and transform Travelport responses into structured results suitable for your website or application.

4. Fare and Offer Selection

The selected flight offer is connected with the appropriate pricing and validation workflow before booking.

5. Booking Integration

We implement the applicable booking workflow, including selected offers, traveler details, booking information, and reservation creation.

6. Seats, Ancillaries, and Additional Services

Where required and supported, additional functionality such as seat maps, seat selection, ancillary services, fare rules, remarks, or special service requests can be integrated.

7. Ticketing and Payment Workflow

Ticketing and payment-related workflows are integrated according to your Travelport account configuration and business requirements.

8. Reservation Management

Reservation retrieval and other supported post-booking functionality can be connected with the customer portal and administrative dashboard.

9. Testing and Production Deployment

Before launch, the complete workflow is tested in the appropriate Travelport environment.

After successful validation and completion of the required Travelport processes, the integration can be configured for the production environment.

Travelport API Integration for Online Travel Agencies

If you are launching an OTA, Travelport can become an important part of your flight-booking technology stack.

TravelsOTA can integrate Travelport with a complete B2C or B2B travel platform so customers, agents, or administrators can search and manage flight bookings through a centralized interface.

B2C Flight Booking Website

A B2C implementation can provide travelers with an online interface to search flights, compare available offers, select an itinerary, enter passenger information, and proceed through the booking journey.

B2B Travel Agent Portal

Travelport can also be integrated with a B2B travel portal where authorized sub-agents or business users search and manage flight bookings according to the business rules configured within your application.

B2B and B2C Combined OTA

For larger travel businesses, we can develop a combined architecture supporting both direct customers and travel agents through a centralized backend.

Travelport API Integration With Your Existing Website

You do not necessarily need to build a completely new travel platform to integrate Travelport.

If you already operate a travel website or booking application, we can review the current architecture and determine the appropriate method for connecting Travelport services.

Integration can be developed for compatible custom applications, travel portals, frontend applications, backend systems, and mobile applications.

The final architecture depends on your existing technology stack and business requirements.

Custom Travelport Flight Booking Engine Development

Every travel business has different commercial and operational requirements.

Instead of forcing your business into a generic booking workflow, TravelsOTA can develop a customized Travelport-powered flight booking engine based on your requirements.

Custom functionality can include:

• Customized flight search interface
• Flight-result filtering
• Airline filters
• Stop filters
• Departure and arrival filters
• Fare display
• Markup configuration
• Service fees
• Currency handling
• Customer accounts
• Agent accounts
• Booking management
• Payment gateway integration
• Booking notifications
• Administrative reporting
• Customer booking history

The availability of airline-specific features ultimately depends on the functionality provided through your Travelport configuration.

Travelport API Integration With Payment Gateways

A complete OTA normally requires both travel inventory and online payment processing.

We can connect your Travelport-powered booking flow with supported third-party payment gateways based on your business country, payment provider, application architecture, and compliance requirements.

The booking and payment workflow should be designed carefully to prevent inconsistencies between payment status and reservation status.

Travelport API Integration With Markup and Service Fee Management

Travel agencies often need to apply their own commercial rules on top of supplier pricing.

We can develop an application-level markup and service-fee system around your Travelport integration.

Depending on your platform requirements, administrators may configure rules based on criteria such as:

• Airline
• Route
• Market
• Booking type
• User or agent type
• Percentage markup
• Fixed markup
• Service fee

These commercial rules are implemented within your OTA platform and should be clearly separated from the fares and pricing returned by Travelport.

Why Integrate Travelport With Your Travel Business?

A properly implemented Travelport integration can provide your travel business with a robust foundation for airline shopping and booking.

Key advantages can include:

• Access to Travelport air-shopping technology
• GDS and eligible NDC content
• Modern RESTful JSON APIs
• Flight search functionality
• Pricing workflows
• Booking capabilities
• Reservation retrieval
• Seats and ancillary functionality where supported
• Ticketing-related workflows for eligible configurations
• Integration with custom OTA platforms
• Support for scalable travel technology architectures

Why Choose TravelsOTA for Travelport Flight API Integration?

Travel API integration requires more than simply connecting an endpoint.

TravelsOTA provides technical integration services focused specifically on online travel and travel booking technology.

End-to-End API Integration

We can handle the technical workflow from initial API configuration to search, booking, reservation-management, and production integration.

Custom OTA Development

We can integrate Travelport into a new OTA or connect it with an existing travel booking platform.

B2B and B2C Solutions

Travelport functionality can be incorporated into customer-facing booking websites, agent portals, or combined B2B/B2C platforms.

Frontend and Backend Integration

We connect Travelport API responses with usable interfaces for customers, agents, and administrators rather than exposing raw supplier data.

Scalable Architecture

Our integrations are structured so that additional travel suppliers, payment services, business rules, or booking functionality can be incorporated as your platform evolves.

Who Can Use Travelport Flight API Integration?

Travelport integration can be suitable for businesses including:

• Online travel agencies
• Travel agencies
• Travel technology startups
• Tour operators
• Travel management companies
• Corporate travel platforms
• B2B travel companies
• B2C travel websites
• Mobile travel applications
• Travel marketplaces

Travelport credentials, content access, NDC availability, airline permissions, accreditation, ticketing authority, and commercial agreements remain subject to Travelport and the applicable airline or industry requirements.

Travelport API Integration Requirements

Before starting development, you should normally have the appropriate Travelport relationship and technical access required for your intended implementation.

Requirements vary depending on the business and functionality, but may involve:

• Travelport account or commercial agreement
• API credentials
• PCC configuration where applicable
• Pre-production access
• Production access
• Agency information
• Required accreditation or identifiers
• Airline ticketing authority where applicable
• NDC provisioning when NDC content is required

TravelsOTA can work with the technical credentials and specifications provided for your approved environment to develop the integration.

GDS vs NDC Content in Travelport

Traditional GDS and NDC content represent different airline distribution models.

Travelport’s Flights APIs are designed to work with both types of content, although individual features, workflows, and airline capabilities may differ.

Traditional GDS Content

GDS technology aggregates and distributes travel inventory and has historically provided travel agencies with access to airline schedules, fares, availability, and booking functionality.

NDC Content

NDC enables airlines to distribute modern airline offers using IATA’s New Distribution Capability framework.

Depending on the airline, NDC may provide differentiated offers, ancillary products, dynamic merchandising, or other airline-specific capabilities.

Travelport helps bring these content sources into modern travel-shopping and booking workflows.
