Travelport Sets New Industry Standard With Lightning-Fast 0.84 Second Air Search

Travelport has set a new industry benchmark in travel technology with its latest update: the Travelport+ platform now delivers global air search results in just 0.84 seconds, improving search speed by 23% even as booking volumes have jumped 200% since 2023. This exceptional speed allows travel agents to respond more quickly to clients, streamlines workflow, and significantly enhances overall customer service.

Behind this leap in speed is a blend of advanced automation and innovative tools like Content Optimizer and Productivity Automator. These features do more than just speed up searches—they help travel agencies filter relevant offers, personalize recommendations, and prioritize the most profitable options. As a result, agents can manage higher search loads, reduce repetitive tasks, and focus on upselling or providing tailored services to travelers.

The improvements have garnered strong industry recognition. According to a 2025 survey by Dynata involving 1,289 travel professionals worldwide, Travelport+ ranked as the easiest travel platform to use and led in innovation, particularly in North America and on prominent review platforms like G2.com. Travelport’s CEO, Greg Webb, noted that the agent-centric design approach “puts agents’ needs at the heart of our business,” helping them to work smarter, sell better, and grow faster.

This technological leap arrives at a crucial moment for the travel industry, as agencies contend with fragmented content sources and fast-changing customer expectations. Travelport+’s speed and intelligent workflow support not only power greater productivity but also help agencies compete in a digitally driven, high-volume environment.

Key Points:

  • Travelport+ now delivers sub-second (0.84s) air search results—a 23% speed boost over previous performance.
  • New tools like Content Optimizer and Productivity Automator help agents filter offers and streamline complex bookings.
  • User surveys and satisfaction scores rank Travelport+ highest for ease of use and innovation in the travel technology space.
  • The update allows agents to work more efficiently, meet surging demand, and deliver a superior service experience for clients.
