Travel technology firm Sabre has partnered with Tripadvisor to develop a new app enabling agents access to seat and in-flight amenity information.
Sabre said the SeatGuru Red App will let booking agents explore seat maps as well as specific seat information and traveller reviews.
Agents will also have access to information on in-flight amenities including entertainment options, wifi access, power and USB ports and meals.
“As airlines do more to differentiate the traveller experience, it is critical that agents are able to quickly access information on different seat attributes and amenities,” said Chris Kroeger, senior vice president of Sabre Travel Network.
Agents using the Sabre GDS can buy the app from the Sabre Red App Store.
Jami Counter, senior director of Tripadvisor Flights, said: “SeatGuru is a powerful travel planning resource that provides travellers’ insights on the best airline seats and in-flight amenities covering airlines worldwide.
“Being able to offer SeatGuru content through Sabre’s extensive network of travel agents means we’re helping even more travellers fly smarter and find a flight they’ll love.”
