  1. Travelport e-Pricing™ Introducing Release 5

  2. e-Pricing – facts and figures e-Pricing satisfies air search requests by automating the interrogation of inventory and fares Supports over 80m airfare searches from agencies every day Billions of flight itineraries are built, validated and priced to satisfy demand for airfare data Worldwide, flights for over 450 airlines are considered by Travelport e-Pricing Our 2014 peak message rate exceeded 1000 messages per second during the busiest hour!

  3. Two versions of e-Pricing available today Release 3 Release 3 uses a schedule led process to identify flights to be priced for a search request. Since there is no knowledge of fares in the flight selection portion of this process, the system considers flights based purely on availability levels and convenience. • Schedule-led search • Focus on convenience • Less effective at finding the lowest available fares

  4. Two versions of e-Pricing available today Release 4 Release 4 uses a fares led process to select flights. The application starts with fares knowledge paired with schedules and availability data to find the lowest priced flights. Where a wide range of low fare options exist, a smaller range of higher priced convenient itineraries may be offered. • Fare-led search • Focus on finding the lowest fares • Used by most customers as our default low fare search product

  5. A “unified” search strategy Release 5 Release 5 will access both the schedule and fares led processes in parallel. This will supplement solutions generated through fare evaluation with convenience based solutions to produce a more balanced mix of itineraries. Currently deployed with a range of key search customers, including ebookers in Europe and Priceline in North America. Full deployment to all customers (excluding Traversa users) is scheduled to extend through May 2014.
