Southwest Airlines has begun offering flights for sale within Sabre global distribution system (GDS). With a rollout of the partnership now complete, Southwest Airlines, for the first time in Company history, offers an ability for business travellers and travel decision makers to book Southwest and its everyday low fares at an industry-standard level of participation within all three major GDSs.
“As we bring the Southwest Effect to business travel, our number one focus continues to be removing friction when booking travel, while at the same time investing in the booking channels used most by travellers and travel decision makers,” said Dave Harvey, Vice President of Southwest Business. “Thanks to our new partnership with Sabre, we’re able to provide the ability for more organizations than ever before to quickly book and modify travel with just a few clicks. As more businesses begin to open, we look forward to welcoming more travellers back to the sky with Southwest’s famous Hospitality and Heart that sets Southwest apart within the airline industry.”
