Distribution
French travel agencies now can book Air France's Seat Plus product,
which provides extra legroom on long-haul flights. The booking functionality is made possible by the airline's use of Amadeus Airline Ancillary Services and via industry standard electronic miscellaneous documents. "More airlines worldwide are unbundling their product and want to provide a consistent offer to their customers regardless of the sales channel," according to Amadeus director of distribution marketing David Doctor. Amadeus claimed that 44 airlines have agreed to use AAAS to distribute ancillaries "through at least one of their sales channels," including 16 that plan to use it for travel agency distribution.
