NDC offers from Lufthansa Group now flowing through Sabre

Sabre-connected travel agencies in Italy and selected agencies in the United States can shop, book and service NDC offers from Lufthansa Group airlines (LHG) through the Sabre marketplace in a technical production environment. These agencies can access NDC offers from LHG member airlines, including Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines. We’re thrilled to collaborate with LHG to move the industry toward real-time retailing through NDC, unlocking new commercial opportunities for travel retailers and suppliers while helping to increase options for travelers.

Get started with NDC from LHG

To activate LHG NDC content, travel agencies should first register with LHG via its NDC Partner Program website.

1. REGISTER WITH LHG

Once registered, the next step is to place an activation request with Sabre via Sabre Central Marketplace. Please review the instructions and timelines thoroughly.

2. PLACE AN ACTIVATION REQUEST

Our team has continued to accelerate progress on NDC and it’s satisfying to see the hard work and collaboration resulting in more airline integrations. I look forward to helping even more travel sellers access LHG’s NDC offers in the coming months.
