OAG launches Fare Search and Booking
Official Airline Guide (OAG), clained to be the world’s authority on global flight information have announced the ability to search fares and make bookings on its flight look-up service, OAG Flights.
OAG has extended its partnership with SideStep, the Internet’s leading travel search company, to integrate a fare search and booking facility on OAG Flights, the only online flight lookup service that displays every scheduled flight worldwide – including low cost airlines.
The fare search and booking capability is available immediately on OAG Flights.
David Rosen, managing director OAG Travel Services, said: “OAG is the original source of the flight schedules information you see on most travel websites, but without the bias.
We are introducing fares and booking to our online service as a direct result of customer feedback. Our subscribers love the completeness and simplicity of OAG Flights, and want the ability to book as well.
We already use SideStep to power bookings on our hosted timetable solutions for airports and we are delighted to extend our partnership to offer our business and leisure travel customers the most comprehensive flight search on the web.”
Tim Simmonds, Director of Business Development, Europe, said, “SideStep’s innovative real-time search technology further enhances OAG’s current online experience for travellers and those who arrange travel. OAG Flights customers now have the ability to compare fares from more than 200 leading travel sites via SideStep’s search engine to find the Web’s best travel bargains, and then click through to make a booking directly with the relevant online agency, consolidator or airline.”
OAG Flights is a subscription-based service. It shows departure and arrival times, flight durations, airport and terminal information and related information about direct and connecting flights. Subscribers are also able to keep track of a flight’s real time status to check whether it is on-time or delayed.
