The new features like time-table and flight comparison view would display the most important data and insights that every Revenue Manager needs to make the right pricing decision.

Following are highlights of the latest release:

Time Table View

Users can now view departing schedules of all the itineraries from all the competing channels in a timetable format. Each date on the table view provides information on airline code, the rate and the channel with the cheapest availability. Users can also see all the different channels an itinerary is available on through the tooltip.

Flight Comparison – Cheapest View

This view compares airlines between an O&D on different departure dates. Cheapest View picks up the cheapest data point for each channel along with picking one data point for one departure date of each channel and ignoring the rest.

Flight Comparison – Default view

This view allows airlines to analyse all different itineraries and monitor rates offered by different channels. Also, in addition to subscribers own parity check, this new feature also outlines the parity trend line for the comp set across different channels.
