Which GDS systems have you integrated?+
I have production integrations across Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport, Navitaire, and Galileo for flight inventory. For hotels: Expedia and DOTW. For activities: Viator. For car rental: Car Trawler. All integrations include search, booking, post-booking management, cancellations, and refund flows.
Can you build a travel booking system from scratch?+
Yes. I have built complete flight, hotel, and dynamic packaging engines from the ground up. I understand the full architecture: GDS API integration, search caching with Solr and Redis, booking state management, payment gateway integration, 3DS flows, cancellation and refund handling, and post-booking services.
What payment gateways have you integrated in travel platforms?+
Payfort (MENA-specific), Adyen (Europe), PayPal, Paytab, and custom bank-specific payment flows for Al Rajhi Bank. I understand PCI DSS requirements, 3DS authentication flows, partial refunds for partially cancelled bookings, and the specific edge cases that travel transactions create.
What is your experience with dynamic packaging?+
I built the dynamic packaging engine for Holidays by Saudia, Ejazah, and the Etraveli platform. These systems create optimal package combinations from flight, hotel, and activity inventory based on business rules, pricing configuration, and historical booking data. The Etraveli engine powers 80+ brands across 12 European markets from a single codebase.
