ATLANTA, Feb. 8 /- Global travel technology provider Worldspan, L.P. has expanded the selection of airfares available to government and affiliated organizations through its leading online self-booking tool, Worldspan Trip Manager XE. Government travelers in the United States, and Worldspan travel agencies that manage their business travel, have gained access to negotiated state government fares, directly through Trip Manager XE shopping and availability displays.
The fare enhancement is beneficial for Worldspan travel agency clients who qualify for state government rates, including divisions of state government and allied organizations, such as higher learning institutions. Government fares are integrated with the lowest available published airfares in the Trip Manager XE shopping display, providing travelers all available low-fare options for a requested market. For instant identification, a special indicator in the display distinguishes government fares from other fares.
"Worldspan continues to introduce more efficient ways for government organizations to plan and manage travel," said Cheryl Weldon, CTC, Worldspan vice president - Major Accounts. "Airlines and state governments work in concert to provide special rates, and we are pleased to turn Trip Manager XE into a convenient online conduit for those fares."
