Fareportal Becomes First Online Travel Agency to Integrate with Spirit Airlines’ New Travel Agent Portal Booking API
NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 21, 2018 -- Fareportal, a leading global travel technology company, today announced that it is the first online travel company to integrate with Spirit Airlines’ new travel agent portal booking API.
As an expert in API development and ancillary attachment, Fareportal worked closely with Spirit Airlines in the development of the functionality. This innovative accomplishment creates a direct connection between Spirit’s travel agent portal and Fareportal’s booking engines and is expected to result in increased ticket sales and improved ancillary revenue. Spirit Airlines’ business model is based on ultra-low fares with the ability to add on items a la carte. The completion of the API integration means Fareportal will begin rolling out access to seat selection, pre-paid baggage, priority boarding, and more, right in the booking path.
“Our development teams were very excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with Spirit on building this booking portal and we are pleased that our technological successes have resulted in a strengthened partnership,” said Carolina Serrano, Vice President of Supplier Relations at Fareportal. “Through our advanced technology, both companies will have the ability to jointly grow our customer data bases and increase customer loyalty.”
”Providing access to Spirits Travel Agent Portal via an API, gives Fareportal interactive access to our fares and ancillaries,” said Richard Lowry, Senior Director Distribution and Sales for Spirit Airlines. “This integration provides an outlet for Spirits dynamically priced ancillaries and fares. We are extremely excited to launch this initiative with Fareportal.”
