Travelport API
Travelport publishes two API stacks: the legacy SOAP/XML Universal API and JSON REST Travelport+ APIs (Flights, Stays, Pay). Production requires provisioning, mandatory certification, and 15 business days' notice, with every credential locked to a PCC Access Group's content.
Frequently asked questions
Travelport scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. Travelport publishes two API stacks: the legacy SOAP/XML Universal API and JSON REST Travelport+ APIs (Flights, Stays, Pay). Production requires provisioning, mandatory certification, and 15 business days' notice, with every credential locked to a PCC Access Group's content.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Travelport is one of the three legacy Global Distribution Systems (GDS) that intermediate the world's travel inventory between suppliers (airlines, hotels, car rental, rail, cruise) and the travel-seller channel (online travel agencies, travel management companies, consolidators, corporate booking tools, leisure agencies).
Vertical: Travel & Expense (specifically the GDS / Travel Retailing / NDC Aggregation sub-vertical). Air shopping (low-fare search across GDS + NDC + LCC content). Air pricing (fare confirmation, fare rules retrieval, ancillary pricing). Air booking (PNR creation, seat selection, ancillary purchase, SSR requests).
Massive within travel; the third-largest GDS globally. The 'big three' GDSs (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport) collectively control roughly 95-97% of global indirect-channel travel bookings.
PNRs (Universal Records): record locator, traveler profile (name, contact, frequent-flyer numbers, special service requests), segments (air, hotel, car, rail), form of payment, fare, ticket numbers, queue placement, history.
Travelport's underlying GDSs are 50+ years old: Apollo was launched by United Airlines in 1971 as one of the first computerized reservation systems, Galileo was formed in 1987 by a European-airline consortium, and Worldspan was created in 1990 by Delta, Northwest and TWA.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Travelport MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Travelport doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
