To be able to deliver you the best possible content available through your connection to us, we have been working hard to bring back carriers online, establish a more secured infrastructure and also enhance the feature-set of our engine. Therefore we’re happy to communicate the below news to you:

New and reintegrated carriers:

  • Sky Express – New integration since 16.11.2020
  • Flyadeal – Re-integrated since 02.11.2020

New features:

  • Ryanair (FR) – Now also 10 kg Baggage available:
    We have expanded the baggage option for Ryanair (FR). As from early December you will be able to select either 10 kg of baggage (in addition to the 20 kg available before).
    Please note: This does not affect the values in our Cache Dump Product. Here we continue to apply 20 kg for your baggage calculations.
  • WizzAir (W6) – Scraping Fee Removal:
    We are happy to announce that we are currently able to bypass the so-called “scraping fee” applied by WizzAir.

Delivery Update on New Backend Tool:
We have announced it in Newsletter #2 and confirmed deployment in Newsletter #3. Today we’re happy to confirm delivery and want to let you know that the old access to the Backend for:

  • TEST is closed since 21 November 2020 and
  • PRODUCTION will be closed on 21 December 2020

Cache Dump improvements:
As already announced in Newsletter #3, we have changed the set-up of your CSV cache file delivery.
Since we have removed the TXT file and now only sending a ZIP file, we were able to decrease the time to process the export and increase the delivery time.

In case you are interested in our Cache Dump Product, please get in touch with your Pyton Account Manager.

We hope this was interesting for you and is going to add value to your future Low-Cost Carrier Sales. If there are questions or suggestions, we are more than happy to assist you in any possible way.

Thank you and take good care

To be able to deliver you the best possible content available through your connection to us, we have been working hard to bring back carriers online, establish a more secured infrastructure and also enhance the feature-set of our engine. Therefor we’re happy to communicate the below news to you:

New or re-activated carriers:

New features:

  • Ryanair (FR) – “Spanish Language”:
    It is now possible to deliver the confirmation, the e-ticket and further airline communication in Spanish language.
  • Transavia (HV) – “Seat Reservation”:
    Same as for carriers which we’re already providing this feature for, it is now possible to place seat reservations through the API. Please note that this is currently only possible for bookings with Adults (ADT) and Children (CHD) only. We will let you know as soon as bookings with Infants (INF) in the booking are possible as well.
  • Vueling (VY)  “Cash Payment”:
    A new Form of Payment (FOP) has been introduced for VY. From now on you can also select CASH PAYMENT. This means that bookings made on a pre-configured DEPOSIT Account will be deducted from your deposit.

New Backend Tool – Entrance to your Pyton Flight Portal:

As already announced in our Newsletter #2 we’re happy to let you know that the deployment of the new Backend Tool has begun. Our Customer Care Team will be contacting each Account to start the migration.
Apart from the new Product Name and the obvious benefits to have the website and underlying layers now running under PCI-DSS Level 1 security standards, there is a long list of small features, enhancements etc. which will add more stability, better maintenance and configuration benefits to your day-to-day business.

You can expect better access control, sophisticated user hierarchy and a better user experience (UX) by keeping the existing features.

Announcement to “local CACHE FILE” users only:

As per 28.09.2020 the delivery of text-based files will be stopped and then only sending ZIP files. Within the compressed ZIP file, you will find the TXT file. So, you will still receive the same data, just not twice (TXT & ZIP), but once (just ZIP with TXT in it).
Please adjust your internal processes if necessary. There has been a separate communication on this topic sent by Customer Care.

We hope this was interesting for you and is going to add value to your future Low Cost Sales. If there are questions or suggestions, we are more than happy to assist you in any possible way.

Thank you and take good care

Despite the difficult times we’re all living and working in, we see the trend that business is picking-up steadily.
As mentioned in our Newsletter #1, we have used the time to focus on technology, reactivation of content and Data Security. Therefore today’s topic is:

PCI-DSS Level 1 Certification:

We are extremely happy to announce that the Pyton Flight Portal LCC booking engine has been certified to the highest level of Data Security “PCI-DSS Level 1” on 25.06.2020. With this huge technical milestone, the Pyton Flight Portal is the first LCC aggregator having the complete booking engine with all underlying layers being certified at this level of data security. If you want generally to read more about this Data Security Standard, please click this (LINK).

Outlook: Deployment of the new AAA Tool to come soon “The entrance to your Pyton Flight Portal“:

Following the PCI-DSS certification it became a necessity to re-build the AAA-Tool (Pyton Backend). The new AAA-Tool has already been deployed to some pilot customers for intense testing. As soon as this process has been finalized, we will inform you accordingly.

You can expect better access control, sophisticated user hierarchy and a better user experience (UX) by keeping the existing features.

We hope this was interesting for you and is going to add value to your future Low Cost Sales. If there are questions or suggestions, we are more than happy to assist you in any possible way.

There is no doubt that COVID-19 is the main news topic across the world right now. Nevertheless, there will be a time after the crisis and we see it as our obligation to be prepared as good as we can.

Although this is a rather difficult and challenging situation, we are taking advantage of this lock-down and investing into various areas. Today we want to inform you on those carriers which have been recently reactivated, assuring that you will have the best possible product in place when business is picking-up again.

Reactivated carriers:

We hope this was interesting for you and is going to add value to your future Low Cost Sales. If there are questions or suggestions, we are more than happy to assist you in any possible way.
