Sabre

Congratulations Riyadh Air | طيران الرياض. We're proud to power the world's first digitally native airline.

This is what booking looks like when AI stops assisting and starts acting. At Money20/20, Young Lee, our Head of Partnerships APAC (Sabre Payments), sat down with Asia Tech Podcast to break down how agentic AI is changing travel booking.

Agentic AI in travel keeps getting discussed as if the hard part is understanding intent. The reality is more grounded. Systems still struggle to act on it in a reliable way once it reaches shopping, pricing, booking, and fulfilment. That’s where fragmentation shows up. Not in the conversation, but in the handoff between systems that were never designed to work this way. That’s the focus of our agentic blueprint. What has to change for agentic AI to move beyond isolated capability and start operating across the travel lifecycle without breaking the experience in the process. And it raises a simple question. Where is that friction showing up most today? Read the full whitepaper here: http://bit.ly/4wemzEt

It’s here. A big moment for agentic AI in travel. The first end-to-end flight booking experience inside a single conversation is now live. Mindtrip, Inc. Flights brings inspiration, search, booking and payment together in one continuous chat. For the first time, travellers don’t get redirected to finish a booking elsewhere. Intent moves directly into transaction. Sabre powers real-time airline content and fulfilment through Sabre Mosaic, making the live booking experience possible. PayPal brings trusted payment into the same flow. Let's get going.

Kathy Morgan at ATPCO's Elevate, spoke about where NDC, and Offer-Order all fits together: "The industry often talks about Offer Order as if they’re a single transformation – in reality they’re progressing on very different timelines. Offer transformation has a clearer, more-immediate value proposition, and progress there is very real. NDC has materially accelerated offer innovation.    Order transformation is harder – it touches fulfilment, servicing, settlement, payments. NDC was never intended to solve all of that. The true value is only realized when full lifecycle works including servicing / fulfilment / payments.     So that is why we've architected Sabre Mosaic the way we have. It is designed to support both Offer and Order – allowing customers to move at their own pace and adopt intelligent capabilities modularly, rather than forcing a single leap.     We’ve made huge progress on NDC – Sabre has more airlines live than anyone else. We expect 2026 to see more and more adoption from agencies." 

Open systems get talked about a lot, but delivering them at scale is another matter. In this conversation, BCD Travel CEO, Stephan Baars explains why they are building around openness, connecting suppliers through a broader marketplace and giving customers more choice rather than confining everything to a single solution.

How will our agentic tech talk to your agentic tech? That question comes from Yannis Karmis, EVP Product Planning and Development at BCD Travel. In this conversation with Andy Finkelstein, Chief Commercial Officer at Sabre, Yannis maps out three decades of technology evolution in travel, mainframe, web, mobile, and makes the case that AI is a different kind of shift entirely. Yannis gets specific. The deliberate decisions around when to keep a human agent in the loop and when not to. Building a marketplace with 70 partners and 3,000 implementations and what it takes to govern that at scale. What it means to build for reliability when your business depends on the foundational systems of your partners. Their conversation also gets into: • How BCD balances open integration with consistency across their client base • Where AI is delivering real productivity gains today versus where it's still a vision • What the relationship between BCD's agentic systems and Sabre's looks like as this evolves • What the next decade of travel technology means for the people running corporate travel programs This is one of four conversations Andy had with BCD Travel's leadership team, covering sales, operations, product and the CEO's view on where the industry is headed.
