1. Travelport Smartpoint 6.0

2. Global Release
How we refer to ‘rich content and branding’ when we speak with travel agencies is changing. Going forward, it will be referred to as ‘branded fares and ancillaries’ for the travel agency audience.
Currently branded fares and ancillaries (Rich Content and Branding) is only available via Fare Shopping, therefore if a flight is booked from availability, branded fares and ancillary information is not available.  According to market information, the most common workflow for a travel agent is to start with availability and then fare quote.
