Flybe is happy to announce a new partnership with Travelfusion, an industry leader in Direct Connect travel distribution systems and the world's largest technology and content supplier for travel meta search solutions. In partnership with Travelfusion and with the use of Travelfusion's technologies, Flybe now offers developers the option to integrate directly with our content using a Direct Connect XML API.
What is it?
The Flybe Direct Connect XML API allows authorised travel partners direct and easy access to content from Flybe. With a rich set of functions and versatile integration capabilities, the Direct Connect XML API system allows you to link directly between your system and our online booking system. With real-time availability and fully automated booking processes, this innovative system is constantly updated and is backed by a technical support team. This system adds value for customers by allowing for choice, control and flexibility, an easy exchange of information and fresh, up-to-date content.
How does it work?
See below for a chart explaining the process flow:
