NDC air fares mean travel management companies (TMCs) work directly with airlines to offer more personalised and dynamic pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask Reed &amp; Mackay Senior Director, Air Partnerships EMEA Richard Lindsay and Global Fares Specialist Jo Shilling how those common NDC myths can be busted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-3-1024x806.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-3-1024x806.png 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-3-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-3-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-3.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">NDC allows fares to be tailored to customers, which can lead to lower fares<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 1 \u2013 NDC leads to higher ticket prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common misconception of NDC and the complete opposite is true. NDC allows fares to be tailored for a specific customer. This creates more price points, which ultimately leads to lower fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NDC enables airlines to offer a broader range of fare options, plenty of rich content, which leads to better value for travellers. So far, we haven\u2019t seen increased prices via NDC through our portal. Additionally, we support airlines to develop their systems and ensure they are fit for purpose to service our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 2 \u2013 NDC negatively affects loyalty programmes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NDC gives airlines more scope to offer unique value adds for travellers and complements airline loyalty programmes. As such, travellers will continue to earn both personal and company loyalty points through NDC in the same manner as they would through bookings made in other channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 3 \u2013 NDC compromises data security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no additional risk to data security with bookings made through NDC than through other channels. NDC provides a platform for information exchange between customers and airlines during the booking process. Airlines can monitor specific customer bookings and view their travel preferences. Additionally, this direct communication limits third-party involvement and reduces the risk of data breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reed &amp; Mackay&#8217;s proprietary travel technology securely stores traveller information and not on any third-party systems. Airlines only receive travellers&#8217; personal information with confirmation of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-4-1024x806.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55006\" style=\"width:819px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-4-1024x806.png 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-4-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-4-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-4.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our proprietary travel technology securely stores traveller information <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 4 \u2013 NDC negatively impacts the corporate booking approval processes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookings made through NDC are treated as instant purchases, meaning payment is taken once a seat is booked. This provides airlines with more control over demand. The current shorter-hold periods can be an issue for corporate bookings due to them requiring approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, NDC presents business travellers with more fare options, making it easier for travellers to comply with their company travel policy. While the current process is not optimal for corporate bookings, it is still evolving. We are working closely with airlines to develop a more suitable process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 5 \u2013 NDC bookings are not compatible with third-party risk providers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of our clients partner with third-party risk management providers to support their employees while they are travelling. They provide updates and alerts about disruptions, which can impact travellers, including travel strikes and serve weather warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, corporations have needed a Global Distribution System (GDS) booking confirmation code for their risk management provider to support them. However, with the rollout of NDC, we have seen most risk management companies evolve their systems to accept NDC bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth 6 \u2013 NDC fare options create unnecessary confusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NDC allows airlines to create new fare options that can be challenging to interpret. For example, these can include adding bags or green fares, which some airlines now offer. Because of this, airlines have more control over seat allocation and traveller loading. In addition, real-time updates on remaining seats allows airlines to use seat scarcity to make travellers more decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous pricing is the USP of NDC for travellers and airlines. It allows them to reduce the frequency of price jumps between individual fares in the same class of travel. This leads to lower prices and a better shopping experience for travellers and allows airlines to ensure more seat bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-2-1024x806.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-2-1024x806.png 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-2-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-2-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/NDC-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Communicating with business travellers about the benefits of NDC can help keep bookings within travel policy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Client experience of NDC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TMCs are skilled at understanding NDC fares and can support travel managers and bookers with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reed &amp; Mackay client Abrdn Travel Control Manager, Finance, Susan Boggan shares her experience with NDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI first heard about NDC seven years ago and had some initial concerns. My main concern was that bookings would be made directly by travellers on the airlines&#8217; websites, resulting in a duty of care concern within our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYet Reed &amp; Mackay has done exceptionally well in communicating the impact of NDC in simple non-industry language and has supported us throughout its wider rollout. Working closely with our TMC has contributed to confidence growing around NDC and travellers no longer have concerns surrounding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy top tip is to embrace it. The more airlines share NDC updates, and the more it rolls out, the more it will be seen as a positive. Acknowledge fares are lower on websites and re-enforce with your travellers that working closely with your TMC is beneficial to securing all content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you would like to discover more about how we support with NDC content, get in touch and <a href=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/au\/request-a-demo\">book a meeting<\/a> with us.  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/au\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get in touch<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mail&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:hello@reedmackay.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>hello@reedmackay.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;to discuss all your travel and event management needs.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Distribution Capability (NDC) is here to stay yet certain misconceptions have generated around it.
