MILWAUKEE, March 8, 2007 – More than 20,000 agencies have signed up for
VAX VacationAccess® Air Only, the air-only booking engine of Trisept Solutions and G2 SwitchWorks. Launched only 11 months ago in April 2006, the platform’s momentum continues to increase across the travel agent community. Agents can register, shop, and book on the platform free of charge by visiting www.vaxvacationaccess.com.
"Listening to what our agents want and then delivering high-quality products that meet those needs is a cornerstone of our company and a philosophy that influences our solutions,” said John Ische, president and CEO of Trisept Solutions. "From our vacation booking engine to our cruise and air-only engines, more and more agents are registering to access fares from the industry leaders that are available on the platforms. Working with G2 SwitchWorks allows us to deliver a superior airline shopping and ticketing engine to the agent community," Ische continued.
“By adding G2 air booking capabilities, VAX VacationAccess completes their leisure travel portfolio for agents who previously relied on several sources to obtain travel content,” said Dave Menzel, COO of G2 SwitchWorks. “The fully graphical Air Only feature helps agents easily sell air using our advanced search and price capabilities, while our automated refunds and exchanges program simplifies post-ticketing tasks. Best of all, it’s so user-friendly that agents can become an Air Only expert in under 60 minutes.”
The VAX VacationAccess Air Only platform, available to both ARC and non-ARC agencies, continues to evolve. ARC-accredited travel agencies now have the ability to add service fees to airline reservations by issuing Miscellaneous Charges Orders (MCOs). Additionally, agencies receive airline volume recognition for all issued tickets, ARC agency reports, manual price options to adjust ticket prices for carrier waivers or private negotiated fares, and airline-direct assistance regarding client special needs and seat assignment changes. Agencies that are interested in upgrading to ARC status should visit the VAX VacationAccess Agent Center and select Updates.
Powered by G2 SwitchWorks, VAX VacationAccess Air Only offers agents the ability to search for and book air travel on leading air carriers including AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways. Free training and 24/7 online support are available.
VAX VacationAccess, Trisept Solutions’ travel agency web portal for vacations, is used by more than 50,000 travel agents nationwide to market, sell, book, and manage vacations, cruises, air and other travel components. As the “Travel Pro’s Best Friend,” VAX VacationAccess has one of the most powerful booking engines available and provides hundreds of timesaving reservation management tools and exceptional sales, marketing and educational features. Additionally, through Trisept Solutions’ full spectrum of electronic distribution products, IT solutions, and eMarketing services, airlines, hoteliers, and tour operators can dynamically package, market, and sell vacations via a variety of distribution channels.
