The HitchHiker Flight API allows you to query fares from all major fare sources, check the fares for availability and book them.
The Flight API provides an XML webservice interface, which can be combined with a user-friendly HitchHiker front-end (TeMyra.net) or with your own frontend or business-logic. Additionally, it can be accessed by any third-party system such as tour-operator systems, B2C and B2B web applications or third-party applications for e.g. dynamic packaging.
This customised solution meets all challenges of today‘s travel vendors. You will always find the fares you need, regardless if these are the lowest available fares for the leisure market or scheduled flights for business travellers.
The independent platform, with the display of mixed net, published, charter and internet-based fares, make the Flight API a high-end fare-data-server for the Internet, call-centres and for branch office sales.
