Flight API

The HitchHiker Flight API is the content aggregation and shopping solution for all kinds of available fights and ancillaries.

Are you looking for a flexible solution to create your own travel booking platforms for travel agencies or end-consumers? Would you like to develop your own high-performance sales-tools for your call centres and sales agents? Or would you like to integrate our flight content into your internal tour-operator system to create dynamic travel packages?

With its comfortable WebService interface the Flight API can be easily integrated in each of your individual projects and delivers the most inexpensive available flights from an extensive range of suppliers. Hence, today you can choose between interfaces to six GDS’, fares from various wholesalers and more than 120 direct airline connections including more than 20 IATA NDC Airlines.

Also, your allotments and group bookings no longer need to be distributed in hard copy form to your employees. By using our Flight API they can be integrated into your selling system just like an own internal GDS.

In addition to the request and booking of airfares, lucrative additional services (ancillaries) and fare bundles (branded fares) can now be marketed. Moreover, the HitchHiker Flight API allows for an implementation of the complete subsequent processes like payment and ticketing up to rebooking, cancellation, refund and revalidation of GDS flights.

The HitchHiker Flight API is available as a Software-as-a-Service solution and can be enhanced with several add-on modules and services according to your own, individual requirements.

Image for Direct Connect / NDC section

Direct Connect

In recent years, the GDSs have guaranteed you “full content” for all major airlines. However, with the help of the IATA NDC standard, more and more airlines – Lufthansa being one of the pioneers – are now making their lowest fares and special offers available exclusively through direct distribution channels and are charging significantly high additional fees (“Distribution Cost Charges”) for bookings made on the GDS.

Yet, due to the growing competition in online commerce it is essential that flights can be offered at an airline’s lowest fare. So, secure your direct access now to the full range of fares offered by the major IATA NDC airlines and to more than 100 low-cost airlines, some of which are also not available or only partially available on a traditional GDS.

Our IATA-certified interface provides you with all of these airlines in a uniform data format while reducing your implementation and maintenance costs compared to the individual connection of countless airline interfaces.

No matter whether you want to integrate our direct connections into your online travel portal, your B2B booking platform or your travel management system, we will gladly accompany you on your way into the “Direct Connect” age. Please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.

Image for Global Airfare Cache / Flight Cache section

Global Airfare Cache

The best websites in the world cannot be limited to or by the functions of a GDS. Creating an innovative user experience for your customers requires unlimited query options for tailor-made, individual offers. This applies even when your customer has not yet specified his or her travel period, duration, departure airport or destination.

Due to the large number of combinations, a considerable number of transactions on the GDS was previously required, for example, to fill a calendar with available airfares. These resulted in high transaction costs, long response times and the need to process and temporarily store huge amounts of data.

With the Global Airfare Cache, HitchHiker has now created an innovative, cost-efficient and high-performance solution that gives you access to several billion air fares and daily fare updates in a fraction of a second.

Instantly populate calendars or charts with up-to-date pricing information or use our flight cache to create dynamic travel packages. Discover the possibilities and request a demo right away!

Image Rule Engine Section

Rule Engine

The HitchHiker Rule Engine offers the option of defining rules to select the best tariff sources dynamically for any given request to our Flight API / HitchHiker.Agent (please see graph).

For example, low-cost airlines are precursors on specific routes, while an individual GDS’ may provide better prices or quality on certain routes. Also, the GDS does not always provide you with your preferred airline in the best-price request.

Being able to determine the best and lowest available rates for each individual situation provides a decided competitive advantage.

The HitchHiker rule engine supports your individual strategies for airlines and GDS’ and thus strengthens your negotiating position. You can also achieve higher kick-back payments by targeted promotion of certain airlines.

Image for Queue Robot section

Queue Robot

Would you like to avoid recurring manual processes and minimize the risk of errors with regard to your booking management process? Are you looking for automated and seamless processes also regarding schedule changes announced by the airline?

Inspired by our customers’ day-to-day routine, HitchHiker developed a Queue Robot which now offers an array of valuable modules to automate your business processes.

These include automated management of schedule changes and wait lists, standardized queuing of bookings, triggering of third party systems and ticketing of Direct Connect Bookings.
Most recently the queue robot has been enhanced by a repricing function empowering an automated fare optimization for your flight bookings.

Would you like to automate other, additional processes? If so, then please feel free to contact us. Our team of experts will create an individual offer based on your requirements.

+ Technical Highlights

- - - - Repricing: The Queue Robot optimizes your flight bookings by automatically searching for cheaper fares based on your interval settings. If a lower fare is found, the booking can be moved to a certain queue for manually processing by an agent or it can be rebooked automatically to the lower fare. By passing on this price advantage directly to your customer, the customer’s experience will certainly be improved.
        
        Schedule Changes: If the airline announces a schedule change, then the GDS sends the affected PNR to a predefined queue. The Queue Robot monitors the queue and processes the PNR according to the rules specified in the system. Said rules can define a time-frame, in which automated processing, optional messaging to the customer and subsequent queuing of the PNR can all be carried out. If the predefined time-frame is exceeded, then the PNR can be sent to a queue for further manual processing.
        
        Waitlists: After a seat that was on waitlist has been confirmed in a booking, the GDS passes the affected PNR to a predefined queue, which is monitored by the Queue Robot. The Queue Robot automatically confirms the waitlist and according to the settings, cancels the protection segment and sends the PNR to the configured queue.
        
        Interface File: To trigger third party systems (with e.g. a last ticket date file or back office file) the Queue Robot creates a file with PNR information in one of the available data formats, e.g. HitchHiker Backoffice File Format.
        
        Queuing: The Queue Robot automatically checks the remarks of each PNR for a user-defined character string (search string) and passes the PNR, which contains said search string to a predefined queue. Optionally, it can be sent to a different queue if the PNR does not contain said search string.
        
        Direct Connect Ticketing: Based on a tariff saved in the PNR, the HitchHiker Queue Robot can optionally add a “form of payment” & “commission” to the PNR and create a ticket on the Farelogix System. Afterwards, the PNR is moved from the incoming queue to another predefined queue. Finally, if required, a back office file is created.

Payment Gate

You’d like to include margins on flights you’ve sold when debiting the passenger and settle liabilities to your suppliers by other means of payment? You have to pay certain providers with individual cards in the name of the customer in order to avoid rejection of the payment?

If so, then we strongly recommend the use of our Payment Gate, which allows you to pay the supplier by generating a one-time-use, “virtual” credit card.

The Payment Gate combines numerous renowned providers of virtual payment solutions – such as AirPlus, eNett, Wex and Wirecard – into one single interface.

It is tailored to the needs of medium-sized and large online portals, travel agency chains, tour operators and business travel agencies, for whom the security, cost efficiency and transparency of all transactions as well as worldwide acceptance of the chosen means of payment play an important role.

+ What is a Virtual Credit Card?

With our virtual payments, a unique credit card number is generated and can be limited in terms of purpose and amount as desired. Just like a traditional corporate credit card, a virtual card can be used for supplier payments, but only for a single transaction. It is accepted everywhere where Master Card or Visa is accepted as a means of payment.

HitchHiker Travel

HitchHiker Travel is the marketplace or online shop for all providers of touristic services.

It was ideally developed from a customer perspective (top-down). This makes HitchHiker Travel fundamentally different from conventional booking sites, which wear the customer‘s patience thin by making them complete countless request masks for flights, hotels, car hire, etc.

HitchHiker Travel allows customers to use a single, full-text search to display each corresponding product in one single result. For example, the request „Frankfurt London“ provides not just flights, buses, rental cars, mobile homes, cruises and apartments but also concert tickets, tourist guides or offer for suitcases.

Incomparably fast response times, a comfortable shopping basket, as well as the complete integration of our flight offers make HitchHiker Travel an effective and customer-oriented online sales platform.

Travel agencies can integrate HitchHiker Travel into their own online presence either as a white-label online booking application or via an XML API. Alternatively, travel agencies can register as a fulfilment partner on https://hitchhiker.travel.
