Overview

Softrip integrates with Amadeus (AMA) Global Distribution System (GDS) to enable seamless Air booking operations. This integration provides essential functionalities for air travel services, ensuring an efficient and streamlined experience for your business.

Softrip's Role in Connecting to Amadeus

Softrip connects to Amadeus via their Web Services API to support the following functionalities:

  • Air Shopping for Availability and Pricing: Allows users to search for available flights and fare options.

  • Air PNR Creation: Enables the creation of Passenger Name Records (PNRs).

  • PNR Retrieval: Facilitates retrieving PNR details for updates or reviews.

  • PNR Cancellation: Allows cancellations of existing PNRs.

  • Schedule Changes: Supports updates when airline schedules change.

  • Ticket Import: Ensures tickets booked outside Softrip are imported for management.
