Sabre-connected Travel Agencies Gain From Branding, Service Upgrades

Southlake, TX – August 20, 2009 – Sabre Travel Network(R) today announced the complete deployment of its enhanced Sabre Virtually There(R) itinerary product. Used by 30,000 travel agencies and millions of business and leisure travelers worldwide, the enhanced service is available in 17 languages for both web and mobile devices.

Building upon its successful heritage, the enhanced Sabre Virtually There makes it even easier to gain access to trip information, eliminating the need for travelers to recall their reservation code. Travelers can get more detailed information on each component of their trip, using tools that track flight and gate information, airport security wait times, access city guides, and more.

Sabre will demonstrate the new Virtually There at booth number 1413 at next week’s National Business Travel Association Annual Conference and Exhibition in San Diego.

“Sabre Virtually There saves us time, reduces costs and keeps my customers happy,” said Aida Fournier, founder and president of Connections Travel in Puerto Rico. “Today, clients expect you to be available to be engaged with them at all times. From a customer engagement standpoint, Sabre Virtually There has delivered dramatic change in our agency services; customers love it and we have reduced our itinerary delivery costs by more than 80 percent since we deployed the solution.”

Continuing its commitment to the exploding use of mobile devices by travelers, Sabre extended many new and existing web features to the mobile device in the enhanced version of Sabre Virtually There. Additionally, Sabre is working with its numerous worldwide airline customers to incorporate online and mobile check-in capabilities via the Sabre Virtually There web and mobile platform.

• MyTrips, which allows travelers to access past and future trips booked via Sabre. This enhancement is particularly useful for road warriors who can now quickly reference favorite hotels they stayed at or timely flights for recurring trips;
