Automate Sabre Fare Class and Sold-Out Flight Monitoring

KLeer is an automated Sabre inventory-monitoring service for travel agencies and TMCs. It continually checks an existing PNR for a requested fare class or an available seat on a sold-out flight. When inventory opens, KLeer can book the segment, replace an existing segment, notify your team, or place the PNR on a Sabre queue.

Find hard-to-get airline inventory without repeatedly checking availability.

Tired of playing airline inventory games? Let’s be honest: your time is too precious to spend it endlessly running availability searches. If you've been around the travel block, you already know that airlines love to play hardball. Lately, carriers seem to be intentionally withholding lower fare classes on empty flights just to force travelers into buying higher-priced tickets. For agents trying to secure a reasonable rate without waiting until the very last minute to purchase tickets, this artificial inventory suppression is incredibly frustrating.

Worse yet, traditional waitlisting is either completely blocked by carriers or leaves you entirely in the dark. So you are forced to manually type out seat-search parameters and recheck inventory dozens of times a day, praying for a breakthrough.

That is a tedious, exhausting process with limited success.

How KLeer Works

  • Add the request: The agent adds a KLeer remark to the PNR identifying the desired inventory.
  • Monitor availability: KLeer checks live Sabre availability at the agency’s configured interval.
  • Detect inventory: KLeer identifies the requested fare class or an available seat.
  • Take action: KLeer books, replaces, queues or notifies according to the agency’s rules.

The Solution: Automated Fare Class Finding & Continuous Monitoring

You don't need to fight the airlines alone. Our automated availability engine, KLeer, works behind the scenes to solve these exact workflow bottlenecks. While the "KL" in KLeer is a loving nod to the segment status when a waitlist clears, its primary superpower is its relentless ability to hunt down desired fare classes.

This 24/7 automated search magic solves your availability woes entirely:

  • Tenacious Fare Class Hunting: KLeer automatically checks live airline inventory as often as every 10 minutes until your targeted, elusive fare class is found.
  • Sold-Out Flight Tracking: Looking for a single open seat on a completely booked flight? KLeer continuously monitors the PNR and pounces the moment inventory opens up.
  • Flexible Action Workflows: You dictate the strategy. Once KLeer locates your desired class or seat, it can automatically book the new segment, replace an existing segment, or simply drop you a notification or queue place so you can make the final call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does KLeer work with existing Sabre PNRs?

Yes. An agent adds a KLeer remark to an existing PNR identifying the inventory that should be monitored. KLeer then checks live Sabre availability according to the agency’s configured schedule.

What types of airline inventory can KLeer monitor?

KLeer can monitor for a requested fare class on an existing itinerary or watch for an available seat on a flight that is currently sold out.

How often does KLeer check availability?

KLeer checks availability at the agency’s configured interval and can run searches as frequently as every 10 minutes.

What happens when KLeer finds the requested inventory?

Depending on the agency’s rules, KLeer can book the new segment, replace an existing segment, notify the agency, place the PNR on a Sabre queue, or combine these actions.

Can KLeer monitor a completely sold-out flight?

Yes. KLeer can continually watch a sold-out flight and take the configured action when a seat becomes available.

Does the agent control what KLeer does when inventory opens?

Yes. The agency can configure the desired workflow, allowing KLeer to act automatically or notify the team so an agent can review the available inventory and make the final decision.

Does KLeer replace traditional airline waitlisting?

KLeer provides an alternative when traditional waitlisting is unavailable or does not provide enough visibility. Rather than relying only on a waitlist, it repeatedly checks live Sabre availability for the requested inventory.

"We first started work with Dale and his team at Travel Automation with their KLeer Sabre Red App. Although “out of the box” this App has transformed the relationship we have developed with our clients with the cost savings gained by finding those elusive cabin classes. We then requested them to develop a bespoke script solution for us and we have not looked back. We now have 5 script based programs that they have built which range from Approval to Quality Control to Invoicing. Pete has been an absolute pleasure to work with designing our programs. The attention to detail, understanding and delivering on our requirements and turn-around from start to finish on each project has been astoundingly quick. I highly recommend Travel Automation for any custom travel software requirements and they are the only company that we will use for any future projects."

"When the Covid-19 crisis hit, we needed a reliable, automated refund solution quickly. We turned to our partners at Sabre, who highly recommended Travel Automation. Working with Dale and his team, we were able to implement a solution within one week. We’ve now been working together for nearly one year, and we continue to be very impressed with Travel Automation’s responsiveness and service quality."

"KLeer is the best investment we ever made and it opened new possibilities for our business. Due to COVID19 Australian government has placed capacity restrictions on incoming passengers finding seats for our customers were almost impossible. While we sleep at night, Kleer works for us and finds the seats for our clients."

"I just wanted to pass along how pleased we have been using QBotic Service from Travel Automation. Schedule changes are a costly non-revenue headache for all travel management companies, and ours is no different. In the past, the man hours spent on dealing with simple airline schedule changes and updated document delivery has been very expensive as we’ve relied on our support department and individual agents to handle any and all airline schedule changes received from the airlines. With the implementation of QBotic Service, those man hours have been dramatically reduced as the automated handling of these PNRs allows our agents to focus on what we do best – creating long lasting relationships with our clients and selling travel – instead of monotonously working a queue of predominantly minor schedule changes. We have found the QBotic Service application to be efficient and reliable as it assists us with both minor and major schedule changes. The configuration capabilities of the product are robust and have been a set-it-and-forget-it type of task for us. That is particularly helpful as we use QBotic Service across a dozen different pseudo city codes, with roughly a half dozen queues monitored within each. Perhaps the best aspect of using your product has been the support that is provided when we have had additional PCCs to add or update, or when we have had to alter our document delivery methodology. The support we have received has been extremely prompt and professional each time, which is a rarity among the vendors we have used for myriad products in the past. All in all, QBotic Service has been a great boost to our productivity and efficiency and has proven to be well worth the modest investment of capital and time to implement."

"During our search for optimization and atomization of manual actions by agents one thing stood out that would always take a lot of time. This was exchanging previously issues tickets after involuntary changes. This labor-intensive action has no added value for us as on OTA and is only an administrative task. One of our priorities were to reduce the time spend on this significantly. Our partners at Sabre directed us to Travel Automation and their QBotic Pro product. This was exactly what we were looking for and met all of our expectations. Besides that, working with Dale and the team was always very pleasant. All queries were answered quickly and correctly. I would always recommend the QBotic Pro product to other Travel Agencies or OTA’s."

"QBotic Service has proven to be an extremely reliable tool in queue management for FCm Travel Solutions. It has reduced our agents workload in inbound queues by approximately 85%. The ongoing implementation process has been smooth and the support and service we have received from both top management and the support team has been PHENONOMENAL! The response time on everything from simple questions to configuration tweaks has been 24 hours or less…totally unparalleled with any other partner within our industry. We look forward to implementing QBotic within many of our brands within Flight Centre US and are thankful for such a strong partnership in servicing our clients."
