sabre red launchpad™
A simpler way for travel agents to book travel
May 7, 2024
We’re giving travel agencies more choice and flexibility in how they manage their workforces. Some consultants may work purely in Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad and others may graduate to Â鶹Դ´ Red 360 over time.“

VP of Product Management, Distribution Experience, Â鶹Դ´
Â鶹Դ´ Red family is growing
As an extension of Â鶹Դ´ Red 360, Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad™ helps minimize training time for new travel consultants and helps them shop and book basic reservations with only a few clicks. Join the countdown to the official launch.
Like other consumer travel applications, Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad provides users with a streamlined graphical user interface (GUI) that helps them shop and book basic air, hotel, and car itineraries with only a few clicks.
Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad also gives travel consultants an easy way to access the benefits of working with a GDS (i.e. Â鶹Դ´), without needing to become GDS experts.
WHAT’S NEW
Expanded offering
The product supports NDC offers, low-cost carrier XML content, and traditional ATPCO/EDIFACT options, as well as the full breadth of lodging content offered via Â鶹Դ´â€™s Content Services for Lodging.
This expanded offering gives travel agencies more flexibility to manage their workforces. Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad users can hone their expertise, or transition to working on more complex reservations in Â鶹Դ´ Red 360.

, one of the largest travel services companies, was the first agency to adopt Â鶹Դ´ Red Launchpad. The co-branded version Internova SNAP was launched to its Canadian travel consultant community on July 2, 2024.
To recruit talent to our industry, we need modern travel retailing tools that do not require new hires to learn a new language to operate. In addition, we’re pleased that SNAP will help our independent agents to benefit from working with technology platforms, like Â鶹Դ´, in a way that works for them.“
