Travelport-BA Seat Selection Tool Uses BookingBuilder, Disregards Agent Incentives

Travelport GDS this week enabled U.K.-based subscribers to pre-pay for British Airways seat assignments, though no incentive or commission structure for agents has been determined. Travelport is facilitating the sale of seat assignments--previously only available through ba.com--using its Options Integrator, which "links directly to BA's pre-paid seating content" and is supported by technology from BookingBuilder.
