Sabre Shopping Tool Lets Agents Sort Add-On Fees

Sabre has introduced Attribute Based Shopping, a tool that enables travel agents and consumers shop for airfares that include only the add-on items they want.

The Attribute Based Shopping screen will enable shoppers to include optional items such as seat selection, baggage charges, lounge access, trip insurance and onboard meals, Sabre said.

After selecting the desired services and product options, agents and consumers can then compare flights from a single supplier or comparatively across airlines. Sabre said Attribute Based Shopping will be available in 2009.
