Sofia in action

Topic: Procurement strategy

Walk me through how an airline RFP differs from a hotel RFP.

You

Great question to anchor your RFP strategy on. Airline RFPs are fundamentally yield-management negotiations — carriers know exactly what your traffic is worth to their network. You're bidding against your own data, specifically your route map, cabin mix, and advance-booking behaviour. Hotel RFPs operate on a completely different commercial logic. You're buying room-nights at a rate, not yield management units.

Topic: NDC vs GDS

My CEO wants to know if we should switch to NDC. What's the real cost implication?

You

The honest answer: it depends on your current GDS dependency and whether your TMC has true NDC capability or is just reselling an aggregator. The key cost levers are: (1) Are you currently paying GDS booking fees that NDC would eliminate? Many corporate buyers don't realise their TMC passes these through. (2) What's your blended fare premium for non-NDC content?
