Ancillaries are big business…
• Basic fares allow traditional
scheduled carriers to compete
directly on price with LCC’s
• Applying retail psychology by
assigning a simple price point to
a better bundle of amenities

12. What is Rich Content and Branding
The Travelport technology which allows airlines to distribute to
agents as they do in their own direct channels
Allows airlines to promote all their fare products, flight
attributes and ancillaries
In Travelport Smartpoint, agents can access information and sell
content in the same way as travelers can do on airline websites
Ultimately, this gives agent a new revenue opportunity (upsell) but
also better service to their own customers

26. Tailored content - what does it mean?
• The Rich Content and Branding Merchandising Management Portal enables an airline customer to
better differentiate and market tailored products and services offered to a specific audience or
customer segment
Applicable to Travelport Smartpoint, Travelport Universal Desktop and Travelport Universal API
• The following levers are available for airlines to use today, either in isolation or combination:
Geography - share content with agents/travelers in a specific IATA area/zone/country/city/airport
IATA number - tailor content to a particular travel agency chain
Pseudo city code – focus on a specific OTA or a TMC’s corporate implant
Account type code - products and services linked to a negotiated corporate deal
Fare type code - a particular customer segment such as marine or student
• All of the above can be further tailored to both the travel agent and the traveler themselves
