Yapta targets leisure travelers through Skyscanner, Traxo partnerships

Price-tracking tool Yapta is broadening its offerings for leisure travelers through new partnerships with Skyscanner and Traxo.

Using Skyscanner’s API, Yapta will give travelers access to flights from hundreds of airlines. Travelers will be able to search for, identify and have price-tracked specific routes, and Yapta will alert them when there’s a price decrease.

For travel itinerary parsing, Yapta will use Traxo’s Capture service to automatically consolidate trip data from travel itinerary emails. The capture service can parse more than 4,000 email formats from hundreds of travel suppliers.

“Yapta’s original price tracking service proved to be a very effective tool for consumer travelers to navigate airlines’ incredibly dynamic pricing approach, helping them save millions on airfare,” says James Filsinger, president and CEO of Yapta.

“With the enhancements we’ve made, leisure travelers have renewed confidence that they’re getting the best possible price on airfare.”

Earlier this year, Traxo launched its Marketplace data capture solution with Yapta as a managed travel service provider.

Launched in 2007, Yapta has more than 7,000 corporate customers.
