CHICAGO, IL and MILWAUKEE, WI – June 28, 2006 –Trisept Solutions and G2 SwitchWorks today announced that more than 10,000 agents have signed up for VAX VacationAccess' new air-only booking engine, which is powered by G2, a leading technology and solution provider for agencies.
Launched in April 2006, VAX VacationAccess Air Only provides travel agents with complete access to search and book air fares from the following G2 airlines: AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways (and America West Airlines).
"Agents have quickly adopted using VAX VacationAccess Air Only, especially considering that 10,000 agents have signed up after only two months," said John Ische, president and CEO of Trisept Solutions. "Our agents specifically asked for a product like this and we're pleased to see that what we delivered with G2 SwitchWorks has been so well received. It undeniably reinforces VAX VacationAccess' reputation as The Travel Pro's Best Friend."
"The rapidly increasing number of agency bookings taking place through VAX VacationAccess Air Only on a weekly basis is proof that G2 is providing industry-leading airline shopping and ticketing functionality matched with great airfares through our airline partners," said Alex Zoghlin, president and CEO of G2 SwitchWorks.
Marie Jernigan, owner of Jernigan Tours, is one agent that uses VAX VacationAccess Air Only to accommodate her customers. "One of my customers recently asked me to book air seats for a group of 69 people," said Jernigan. "Normally I don’t book air, but then I remembered VAX VacationAccess Air Only and was able to book his whole group with ease. Without the booking engine, I would have turned away the business, but I was thrilled to be able to accommodate my customer's needs – it's just so convenient and easy to navigate."
No special registration or ARC status is needed to use VAX VacationAccess Air Only. Agents can simply log into VAX VacationAccess and select Air Only from the Reservations drop down menu.
