Browse all articles

Introduction

Airline bookings remain the backbone of most travel agencies, whether you’re serving corporate clients, managing group trips, or planning leisure vacations. The challenge? Travellers today expect more than just a ticket—they want choice, flexibility, and the ability to personalize their journey.

That’s where ORX Travel’s 400+ GDS airline connections come in. With access to the world’s leading carriers through Sabre, and direct with NDC, your agency gains the scale and competitive edge it needs to deliver exceptional service and maximize revenue. And because ORX Travel is also a white label travel portal, you get a fully branded booking engine designed to grow your online travel agency.

What 400+ GDS Airline Connections Mean for Your Agency

Global Distribution Systems (GDS) like Sabre are the backbone of professional travel booking. They provide live inventory, pricing, and availability that agencies can trust. With ORX Travel, you get seamless integration with more than 400 airlines worldwide, ensuring your clients never feel limited in their choices.

For your agency, this means:

  • Broader access to both major and regional carriers
  • Coverage for domestic, international, and multi-city routes
  • A single white label booking engine that consolidates everything under your brand

Simply put: more options for your clients, more opportunities for your agency.

Access to Competitive Fares and Richer Inventory

One of the biggest advantages of having 400+ GDS airline connections is access to the most competitive fares available. ORX Travel’s platform doesn’t just give you published fares—it also integrates private fares and airline-specific NDC content.

This richer inventory means:

  • Ability to compare fare classes side by side
  • Access to exclusive deals unavailable on public booking sites
  • Transparent pricing that builds client trust

In a world where price matters, ORX Travel helps your agency deliver better deals without compromising your margins.

Enhanced Client Experience: Seat Selection & Ancillaries

Today’s travellers want more control over their journeys. With ORX Travel’s GDS and NDC integrations, you can offer full ancillary services directly in your booking flow:

  • Seat selection, including premium and extra-legroom seats
  • Checked baggage, carry-on upgrades, and priority boarding
  • Onboard meals, Wi-Fi, and lounge access

For corporate clients, this means smoother travel policies and happier employees. For leisure travellers, it means convenience and personalization. By offering these extras in-house, you prevent clients from turning to airline websites or online competitors.

Commission and Revenue Opportunities for Agencies

ORX Travel doesn’t just connect you to airlines—it empowers you to profit from those connections. With customizable commission and markup tools, agencies can:

  • Set different markups by route, client type, or booking channel
  • Earn commissions on ancillary services like bags and seat upgrades
  • Track sub-agent commissions with full visibility

This flexibility helps you maximize revenue while keeping pricing competitive. In an industry where margins are tight, these tools ensure your agency has full control over profitability.

Future-Proofing Your Agency with ORX Travel

Airline distribution is evolving rapidly. Carriers are shifting toward New Distribution Capability (NDC), offering richer content directly to agencies. ORX Travel ensures you’re not left behind by providing blended access to both traditional GDS fares and modern NDC content in one platform.

For your agency, this means:

  • Staying competitive as distribution models shift
  • Offering clients more choice and personalization
  • Scaling seamlessly whether you’re an independent advisor, host agency, or corporate travel manager

By combining breadth of content with future-ready technology, ORX Travel helps your agency grow without being locked into outdated systems.
