Sabre Gets Aggressive On Passives

Sabre Travel Network on December 1 will implement a new policy to curb 'increasing incidents of improper use of non-billable passive segments' at U.S. points of sale, according to a letter sent Monday to users. If they fail to correct improper use after notification, agencies could lose the capability to create passive segments. To have the functionality restored, they would be required to decline booking incentives and pay Sabre $2.50 for each passive segment.
