American Airlines last month began distributing a corporate bundle via its NDC-compliant API to clients of three travel management companies. AmTrav, Marplay in Mexico and Brazil's Copastur use their proprietary booking tools to sell regular economy fares that include preferred main cabin seating, no-fee changes and a checked bag.
United Airlines and TripActions announced a similar development on Tuesday. While some nuances make them a bit different, these United and AA forays into bundles represent long-awaited, real-world applications of NDC for corporate travel.
