Branded fares in GDS

On January 20, 2021 Norwegian Air completed the implementation of Branded Fares. We are now offering our mutual customers freedom of choice through in-direct channels. Our stripped LowFare product are offered in the GDS, through all agent partners using Amadeus, Travelport+ (Galileo) & Sabre solutions.

We highly encourage you to propose the LowPlus product to your customer, as this Branded Fare type is very similar to the Norwegian fare product we used to have in GDS and what you and your customers have been used to since Norwegian started flying. 

Main changes  

• We discontinued the Q-surcharge which previously applied automatically to every individual E-ticket segment booked in GDS
• We activated new ancillary services in GDS and the main ones are:
  • Chargeable seats
  • Chargeable bags (ABAG=first checked bag, BBAG=second checked bag)
• Group bookings (G-class) and allotment bookings (O-class) have not been affected by the implementation, as these fare types already have different products and services included in the fares.
