GDS: Sabre Interface

Sabre 360 is compatible with BookingBuilder. 

Availability and Suppliers

In order to allow BookingBuilder to assist with a booking, Sabre 360 requires that the availability request begin in Sabre.  Users who normally go directly to a supplier site and search will find that BookingBuilder doesn't react as expected.  

Additionally, there are certain suppliers approved for use with Sabre 360- if you have enabled a supplier on BookingBuilder's administration site and it still doesn't show up on availability requests, that is likely why.  You can confirm by checking if the supplier is available for booking directly in Sabre.  If there is one that is not on our list of Sabre-enabled suppliers that you would like to have added, contact your Sabre account representative to make the request.  

Interface

Sabre 360 communicates with BookingBuilder using an interface called the BookingBuilder Connector. If BookingBuilder won't connect and has a yellow icon near the clock, or will connect but won't communicate, it usually means the Connector is missing.

1. In Sabre 360, click on Contact Us, then Application Vendor Support.
   
   
   
   
2. You should see a BookingBuilder Connector listed. It might have a slightly different name.
   
   
   
   
3. If you don't see that, the Sabre administrator will need to authorize the user account for the Connector, which can then be downloaded by checking Sabre for updates. That will be someone in the agency, or closely associated with it.
