Mexicana adopts Worldspan repricing

Hotel Booking Worldspan has announced that Mexicana Airlines has chosen to adopt Worldspan Rapid Reprice,a solution for repricing airline tickets when traveler itineraries change.

The savings figure is based on an internal study comparing the price for travel for two passengers of booking a flight and hotel together using priceline.com's Vacation Packages to booking the same hotel and similar flight itinerary (same travel dates and origin and destination cities) separately on priceline.com. The Vacation Package price yielded a savings of up to $325 over the separate prices of the same hotel and similar flight itinerary.

Travel Agency The first tool of its kind to be deployed worldwide by major carriers, Rapid Reprice is in use by most major U.S. airlines, several of the world's largest travel Web sites, as well as corporate travel departments and a growing number of travel agencies.
