To improve fare transparency and demonstrate savings, Goelett now supports displaying the public (non-discounted) rail fare alongside discounted fares for users with rail discount cards. This comparison allows travelers and TMCs to better understand the value of using negotiated or personal rail discounts.
What’s new:
- Public flexible fares are retrieved and stored for routes returned during search.
- When configured by the TMC, public fares are shown in the booking cart next to discounted fares – visible only for the main traveler (not for companions).
- Public fare data is refreshed every 24 hours to ensure accuracy.
- The public benchmark price and currency can now be sent to the PNR via the PNR Editor (new variables available).
- Booking data including public fare benchmarks is made available for reporting purposes.
Important considerations:
- Applies only to the French market and supports the same provider used for the booking
- Only flexible fares are considered for benchmarking (modification and/or cancellation possible).
This enhancement empowers TMCs and corporate clients to showcase cost-efficiency and measure savings gained through rail discount programs in a transparent and reportable way.
