The reason for booking a trip usually informs how many people will be involved. Corporate travel often includes one adult, while leisure trips typically involve multiple adults, or families with young children in tow. Sabre’s NDC capabilities can now support both types of travel more robustly. In addition to single adults, we now support multiple adults, children, infants, youth passengers and seniors, among others.

Sabre-connected travel agencies can shop, book and service NDC content from these airlines that includes this expanded array of passenger types. When plans change, we understand that servicing capabilities are critical to keep travelers – and your operations – moving efficiently. To that end, our multi-passenger workflows support cancelling, voiding, and refunding NDC orders.

If you are already shopping and booking multi-passenger NDC content from these airlines — Aeromexico, American Airlines, Avianca Group airlines, Finnair, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa Group airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines — through the Sabre marketplace, you’ll automatically have access to the new multi-passenger capabilities.
