With built-in tools such as +/-3 Days Calendar Fare Search agents can easily see the best fares, in a grid view, without having to enter multiple dates. Additional features such as Advanced Markup Management, which can be configured by ticket, region, airline or city pair, enable agents to control commissions while staying competitive.
