How the Price Comparison Works
- Start in Amadeus: Open your Amadeus session and begin a flight search (shopping).
- Automatic Comparison: After using the pricing entry in GDS, the BookingPad extension automatically detects the flights you are searching for in Amadeus and simultaneously searches for the same itinerary via AirGateway (NDC).
- View NDC Offers: If matching NDC flight results are found, the available offers, including pricing, will be displayed instantly in a pop-up window. This allows you to quickly compare the NDC options against your Amadeus results.
- Transition to BookingPad: To proceed with the NDC offer, click ‘Open’ within the pop-up. You will be redirected to the BookingPad platform where you can finalize the booking in a few simple steps.
