Travelport Booking Feed (TBF)
Travelport Booking Feed (TBF) provides a set data stream which allows Galileo customers to access any of the PNR data fields. The advantage to using TBF is the data is provided via a “push” rather than a “pull". This means customers are not required to access the host and potentially incur excessive transaction charges. When using TBF, the data structure is provided by Travelport. Customers do not need to create the data calls necessary to capture this information from the host. TBF writes this data to a SQL Server owned and managed by the customer. Data mining and report generation are only limited by the imagination and skills of the customer.
