Sabre made available a mobile app for travel agents.

Tailored for tablets, the Sabre Red Mobile Workspace provides to Sabre-connected agents access to shopping, booking and ticketing functions, as well as customer profiles, passenger name records, seat maps and other features. It includes "a custom Sabre keyboard" and a browser that connects agents "to popular Sabre resources such as Agency eServices and AgentStream." Sabre cited a recent survey it conducted that found "a majority of Sabre connected travel agents want to use a tablet device to serve their customers." According to a statement from Sabre Travel Network senior vice president Chris Kroeger, "We are heading toward a future where the lines between offline, online and mobile are blurring and will eventually disappear." Sabre said it has since May tested the app with customers around the world. It's available in the Apple App Store for Red Workspace users—currently at no charge through February, though a Sabre official said the company isn't ready to announce pricing beyond that—in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French, Russian and Japanese.
