Our new UTAs mean you’re now receiving data from hundreds more airlines. ATPCO has expanded its coverage for Checked and Carry-on Baggage UTAs (Universal Ticket Attributes) from 140 to over 400 airlines by connecting airline baggage filings in ATPCO Optional Services to the Routehappy UTA API.
The UTA API is now powered by more robust, comprehensive baggage content including rules for allowances, charges, size and weight limits.
Clear and simple baggage content for all
Consistently displaying the hundreds of different and complex baggage policy rules that airlines file can be a challenge for sales channels. And for travelers these days, selecting which bags to pack requires an encyclopedic knowledge of each airline’s baggage policy.
For infrequent travelers, clear baggage content can mean the difference between a good travel experience and one that includes unexpected costs or a stressful check-in. Even frequent flyers who are loyal to certain carriers can be tripped up if they switch airline without understanding that standard allowances vary.
Integrating the new baggage UTAs
The new easy-to-read content provides rapid access to the following baggage information:
• First and second baggage policy criteria with allowances
• Charge fee amounts
• A policy summary description for headline
• Size and weight limits
• All carry-on requirements
It can be displayed across diverse platforms at whatever point during the booking flow you determine to be the most effective.
Many channels that display Routehappy Content are actively integrating this new content and the new baggage UTAs are already flowing through the API.
Support whenever you need it
Whenever you need us, the ATPCO Retailing team can support sales channels as a strategic partner by helping you assess the best ways to use the new baggage content. We can also walk you through the simple steps to integrate the baggage content into channel booking platforms.
