Need Sabre GDS integration for your travel business? Let's discuss your requirements.

 

What Is Sabre API Integration?

Sabre API integration connects your travel application directly with Sabre's travel technology platform, allowing your website, mobile application, booking engine or internal travel system to access and process travel content.

Depending on your business requirements and Sabre access, integration can support workflows such as:

  • Flight search and availability
  • Fare shopping
  • Fare pricing
  • Flight booking
  • PNR creation and retrieval
  • Passenger information management
  • Ticketing and fulfillment
  • Booking modification and cancellation
  • Fare rules and branded fares
  • Seat availability and seat selection
  • Ancillary services
  • Itinerary management
  • Hotel content and booking
  • Car rental content and booking
  • NDC-based air content
  • Order servicing
  • Post-booking operations

Sabre's modern Offer and Order APIs support a workflow that can include shopping for offers, obtaining detailed pricing and creating an order/PNR, followed by servicing activities such as passenger updates, cancellation, fulfillment, seat management and itinerary changes.

 

Our Sabre API Integration Services

1. Sabre GDS Air API Integration

We integrate Sabre air APIs into your booking platform to create a complete flight shopping and reservation workflow.

Our implementation can include:

  • Flight availability search
  • Low-fare search
  • Fare shopping
  • Multi-city and round-trip search
  • One-way flight search
  • Passenger-type based search
  • Cabin-class search
  • Airline and route filtering
  • Fare family and branded fare support
  • Fare rules
  • Flight pricing
  • Repricing and fare validation
  • Seat availability
  • Ancillary services
  • Booking and PNR creation
  • Ticketing workflows
  • Cancellation and modification
  • Post-booking servicing

The objective is not simply to connect an API, but to create a reliable booking workflow that works correctly from search → pricing → booking → ticketing → servicing.

 

2. Sabre Offer & Order API Integration

Modern travel retailing requires more than traditional availability and booking APIs.

We can help implement Sabre's Offer and Order APIs for workflows involving:

  • Air shopping
  • Offer selection
  • Offer pricing
  • Order creation
  • PNR/order management
  • Passenger updates
  • Cancellation
  • Fulfillment
  • Seat services
  • Ancillary services
  • Itinerary modification
  • Exchange and servicing workflows

Sabre's Offer and Order model is designed around shopping, pricing and creating an order, followed by servicing the resulting order.

This can be particularly valuable for modern OTAs, airline-focused travel platforms and businesses looking to build more flexible retailing workflows.

 

3. Sabre NDC API Integration

The travel industry is moving toward richer airline content and modern retailing through IATA NDC.

We help businesses integrate Sabre's NDC-enabled capabilities into their travel platforms where supported by their Sabre commercial and technical setup.

Possible workflows include:

  • NDC flight shopping
  • NDC offer retrieval
  • NDC pricing
  • NDC order creation
  • Seat and ancillary services
  • Order servicing
  • Cancellation
  • Rebooking
  • Exchange workflows
  • Integration of NDC content alongside traditional air content

Sabre has been progressively making airline NDC content available through its Offer and Order APIs and other Sabre channels.

 

4. Sabre PNR Creation & Booking Integration

A successful GDS integration must go beyond displaying flight results.

We implement the complete booking workflow required by your business, including:

Search → Select → Price → Passenger Details → PNR → Ticketing → Confirmation → Post-Booking Service

Depending on the required workflow, integration can include:

  • Passenger name
  • Contact information
  • Travel document information
  • Frequent flyer information
  • SSR/OSI information
  • Seat selection
  • Ancillary services
  • Payment information
  • PNR creation
  • Booking retrieval
  • Ticketing
  • E-ticket information
  • Cancellation
  • Rebooking
  • Exchange
  • Refund-related workflows

We focus on handling real-world booking scenarios rather than implementing only the basic API demonstration flow.

 

5. Sabre API Certification Support

Sabre API certification and production readiness can involve more than simply completing API development.

Our team can assist with the technical preparation required for your Sabre integration, including:

  • Certification environment setup
  • API connectivity testing
  • Authentication implementation
  • Test workflow implementation
  • Request/response validation
  • Booking workflow testing
  • PNR testing
  • Ticketing workflow testing
  • Error and exception handling
  • Negative test scenarios
  • Production-readiness review
  • Certification issue troubleshooting
  • API log analysis
  • Deployment support

We work with your Sabre credentials, PCC/EPR and applicable Sabre environment to prepare the integration for the required testing and certification process.

Important: Sabre controls its own access, certification and production approval processes. Our role is to provide the technical implementation and certification support required to help your application meet the applicable requirements.

 

6. Sabre API Testing & Troubleshooting

GDS integrations can fail for reasons that are not immediately obvious from the application layer.

We can troubleshoot issues involving:

  • Authentication
  • Session/token handling
  • API endpoint configuration
  • Request formatting
  • XML/JSON payloads
  • SOAP services
  • REST APIs
  • Schema validation
  • PCC/EPR configuration
  • Fare and pricing discrepancies
  • PNR creation failures
  • Ticketing errors
  • Booking failures
  • API timeout issues
  • Production vs certification environment differences
  • Unexpected API responses

Our approach combines travel-domain knowledge with software engineering, allowing us to investigate both the API layer and the business workflow behind the error.

 

7. Sabre API Integration for Travel Portals

We can integrate Sabre into different types of travel platforms, including:

B2C Travel Portal

Allow customers to search, compare and book flights directly through your website.

B2B Travel Portal

Provide travel agents and sub-agents with flight booking and management capabilities.

B2B2C Travel Platform

Build a multi-level distribution platform supporting agents, sub-agents and end customers.

Corporate Booking System

Implement controlled flight search, booking and servicing workflows for corporate travelers and TMCs.

OTA Platform

Connect Sabre content to a complete online travel agency platform with booking, payment, customer management and back-office functionality.

Mobile Travel Application

Connect Sabre APIs with iOS, Android or cross-platform travel applications through your backend API layer.

 

8. Sabre Hotel & Car API Integration

Sabre is not limited to air travel.

Where required by your Sabre access and commercial setup, we can integrate additional travel content into your platform, including:

  • Hotel search
  • Hotel availability
  • Hotel details
  • Hotel rates
  • Hotel booking
  • Hotel cancellation
  • Car rental search
  • Car availability
  • Car booking
  • Booking management

This allows businesses to create a broader travel marketplace instead of maintaining separate booking systems for every travel product.

 

Sabre API Integration Architecture

We recommend implementing Sabre integration through a dedicated backend/API layer rather than connecting your website or mobile application directly to the GDS.

A typical architecture looks like:

Customer / Travel Agent

Web Portal / Mobile App / B2B Portal

Travel Booking Engine

Sabre Integration Layer

Sabre APIs

Flights / Hotels / Cars / NDC Content

This architecture provides better control over:

  • Authentication
  • API credentials
  • Session management
  • Request validation
  • Response transformation
  • Caching
  • Error handling
  • Logging
  • Monitoring
  • Rate management
  • Business rules
  • Supplier abstraction

It also makes it easier to combine Sabre with other suppliers such as Amadeus, Travelport, NDC providers, hotel APIs and payment gateways.

 

Sabre API Integration with Other GDS Systems

Many travel companies do not want to depend on a single GDS.

We can help design a multi-GDS architecture where Sabre works alongside other suppliers.

For example:

Sabre + Amadeus + Travelport

This can provide your platform with broader content coverage and greater flexibility.

A common architecture can normalize supplier responses into a common internal model:

Sabre API

Amadeus APIUnified Travel API / Booking EngineWebsite / App / B2B Portal
Travelport API

This approach can reduce the dependency of your front-end application on a specific GDS implementation.

 

Sabre API Migration & Upgrade Services

Already have a Sabre integration but experiencing technical or maintenance problems?

We can help review and modernize existing implementations.

Our services can include:

  • Existing Sabre integration audit
  • Legacy code review
  • API migration
  • Endpoint migration
  • SOAP/REST modernization
  • Authentication modernization
  • Booking workflow optimization
  • Error-handling improvements
  • Performance optimization
  • Logging and monitoring improvements
  • Security review
  • Certification re-testing
  • Production deployment support

If your existing Sabre integration has become difficult to maintain, we can help identify the problem before recommending a complete rewrite.
