As the question states, I am interested in accessing an API that will check award seat availability for a set of flights (Specifically Delta, United, American Airlines). My goal is to use this in conjunction with something like Bargain Finder Max so I can list flights that have award seat availability and regular seat prices.
I am brand new to Sabre and appreciate any advice on if this kind of data is possible or available.
I don't think any airlines publish their award inventory into any GDS system. TMC agents generally have to call the airline to search for inventory and redeem miles.

I am using the Tour Planning API to route multiple trucks to deliver many orders.
The problem I am trying to solve currently is fully utilizing all of the trucks.
Let's say we have 100 deliveries to make and 7 trucks. I want the API to attempt to use all trucks (shifts). Currently, it will, at times, use 6 trucks or however most efficiently to route. This makes sense when cost savings is your only goal. The goal of our solution is also to take into account Driver Retention. If we have 7 drivers, we need to use all 7 drivers.
This feature is not yet available in the Tour planning production version. In the future, we may provide this feature where users would be able to ask Tour planning to utilize the maximum possible number of vehicles. Which in turn will use all vehicles if the number of jobs is more than the number of vehicles. Please contact HERE support or your HERE account executive to provide more input on your requirements
I'm using OTA_AirAvailLLSRQ API to search flights, but it only shows 7 seats each class. I wonder is there any way or function in Sabre can show total available seats of each class.
I am brand new to Sabre and appreciate any advice on if this kind of data is possible or available.
Because LLSR service support is very limited, I would recommend looking for a newer service that allows you to retrieve all information, such as Bargain Finder Max, along the Seats Rest service which retrieves the complete seat maps for all cabins.
Best regards.
I am developing a reservation system for hotels with Sabre Dev Studio. I want to propose different available Hotels around a location... I use the OTA_HotelAvailLLSRQ request in Sabre SOAP API. I have a list of hotels and rooms with prices.
But, at that moment, I'd like to show my end-user the room description, the photos, the room type name (i.e. "Double confort room", "Junior Suite", etc). It seems Sabre does not give any of those informations : a price, an unusable description... that's all ?
Could anyone explain me if any Sabre SOAP API request can give me these informations (I already tried the HotelImage rq, but it gives general hotel images, not a given room type image list) ???
regards
For getting a specific detailed description of Hotel, you need to call an API that can give you such information like:

There are other Hotel Description services published on Dev Studio.
Sabre doesn't provide any room data. However it provides some clues for matching roomrates to rooms. The IATA_CharacteristicIdentification is typically a combination of a rate and a room. For example, say a particlar hotel has a roomrate of "A03LV2" which might be for a rate A03 and a room LV2. You can then match all the roomrates that end in LV2 to a particular room. As for the name of the room, often there is something of a description in the AdditionalInfo->TEXT objects.
I am developing an app which will show live seat availability based on flight number using sabre apis.
https://developer.sabre.com/io-docs
I didnt find any way to do it.
Sabre needs marketing career details.
Is there any other way to get this using flight number only.
I believe that you want the seat map, this shows the available seats.
https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/rest_apis/air/search/seat_map
Keep in mind, that if prices are returned they are as extra, the price of the seat will depend on the class of service used at the time of booking. And there are some seats that, even if available, the airline blocks them. Maybe for latter use, preferred customers, to have them available at check in, or whatever reason they have.
If you prefer XML, the EnhancedSeatMap service will give you what you need:
https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/soap_apis/air/book/seat_map
The marketing carrier is needed to uniquely identify the flight, since the same flight number may be offered by other carriers for the same origin and destination, and the same date.
I currently have two warehouses (one on the east coast and west coast of USA). The problem I am trying to solve is finding the optimal method of shipping based on the user's shipping address and our two warehouses. It is unwise for us to ship a product from the west coast all the way over to a consumer on the east coast and vice versa.
We currently run WooCommerce and have the Table Rate Shipping plugin installed. I've created two zones (one for west and one for east) to divide our two shipping areas and I understand you can create a shipping class for each WooCommerce product but you are unable to create more than one under a product. If this was possible, I was thinking of creating two shipping classes under each product and finding an optimal shipping method that way.
I believe there is TradeGecko but it is a costly service that provides much more functionality than what I technically need. Does anyone here know of an ideal solution to optimally ship our products from two warehouses? Help or insight would be appreciated.
What you can do is for US try using a flat shipping rate (Not sure if its possible for you, but I dont think there should be much price difference within US ). You can use this plugin "Flat Rate per State/Country/Region for WooCommerce", it allows you to set different regions and states and then set prices for those regions. So for instance if someone from east cost orders a product you can send it for flat $5, similar can be done for West cost. I dont know how your workflow is but the relevant warehouse should be automatically notified when the product is booked. while for the rest of the world the pricing should remain standard.
