Sabre, a global travel technology company, recently selected winners for their Sabre Red Appy annual developers competition, after reviewing all apps that help agencies address challenges and opportunities in their business. Refund.me took first place for making it easier for agents and travelers to claim refunds for flight delays and changes.
Refund.me allows worldwide passengers traveling to, from, and within the EU to obtain monetary compensation for delayed and cancelled flights. Feautres include an automatic monitoring of all reservations made through the Red Workspace accompanying program, alerts to the agent when a reservation qualifies, and a streamlined process for immediately emailing the required form to the agent’s client.
ExpertFlyer.com ties for second place for their app that notifies agents when a better seat becomes available on flights with largely undesirable seats. Agents can view seating status for PNR segments, create alerts, monitor them and be visually notified if a better one pops up.
ZoomandGo.com is the other second place winner for their Instant Travel Expert ™ app, which helps travel agencies increase revenues and profitability when booking hotels by allowing agents to search by narrowly specific criteria, such as zip codes, and then filter the search results instantly based on travel requirements, so that both the company and the traveler are satisfied with their accomodations.
