TravelBrands Launches FlexAir by Encore

TravelBrands’ Encore Cruises has introduced FlexAir by Encore, a new air-booking option aimed at giving Canadian travel agents more flexibility when finalizing cruise bookings.

The new tool allows advisors to hold qualifying flights with $0 due at the time of booking, helping them secure airfare while giving clients more time to confirm their cruise plans. According to the company, FlexAir is designed to reduce pricing risk and prevent stalled sales caused by fluctuating airfares.

Key features of FlexAir include the ability to hold flights for up to 30 days prior to departure, protect current pricing, and separate the timing of airfare commitments from the final cruise decision.

By decoupling air and cruise timelines, Encore says advisors can maintain control of the booking process while offering a more flexible experience for clients.

FlexAir is available on select major North American and international airlines, including Air Canada, Air Transat, Porter Airlines, WestJet, United Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, LOT Polish Airlines, SAS, and ITA Airways. Flights must be booked by phone through the Encore Reservations team and must be made in conjunction with one of Encore’s cruise line partners.

Additional details and full terms and conditions are available through TravelBrands Access.
