None of us likes to wait for tickets to load. No fun at all. We're all waiting for the carriers to speed up their systems. But we have good news! To save you time, we are excited to introduce very precise and super fast price estimates.
Our Dashboard has always automatically fetched prices for a couple of recommended trips. From now on, you will also see estimated prices for all trips from a carrier that supports estimates. Getting live price information is only a click away.
As you may know, tickets may not always be available. This is usually because they haven’t been released yet, it’s too close to departure, or there’s a planned or unplanned disruption.
Until now, the only way of knowing if a train is available to book has been to try and fetch prices. Now, if you see a price estimate, you can be sure that the ticket is available to book.
Estimates and availability are also ready to use in the API, helping you speed up your custom booking solutions. See the documentation.
We’re rolling out estimates and availability on a carrier-by-carrier basis. We already cover the majority of our carrier inventory, including ÖBB, DB, and Eurostar, among others. We’ll continue adding carriers in the coming weeks, with Trenitalia, Renfe, and SNCF next.
