Tour operators
Dynamic packaging, charter seats, allotments and B2B distribution.
Book a demoTour operators carry risk on behalf of the market. They commit to charter seats and hotel allotments months in advance, build packages around them and then need to sell through agents, their own website and partners before release dates arrive. Margins depend on filling what was bought, at the right price, at the right time.
Wingstack gives tour operators one inventory for seats, rooms and services, a booking engine that packages them dynamically, and reporting that shows where capacity is at risk. Operations and accounting follow from the same bookings, so the full cost of every package is clear.
Challenges
Unsold charter seats and hotel allotments become losses if they are not sold or released in time.
Combining flights, hotels and transfers into a package price is manual and slow to update.
Agents, the consumer website and partners each need different prices and rules from the same stock.
Package profitability is only known after supplier invoices arrive, long after decisions are made.
Our approach
Charter seat inventory and hotel allotments are managed together and sold without double counting.
The booking engine combines seats, hotels and transfers into one price, with rules per market and channel.
Release dates, load factors and allotment usage are tracked with alerts before deadlines.
B2B portal, B2C site and outbound API share the same stock with channel-specific pricing.
Accounting and BI show cost and profit per package, flight and hotel as bookings come in.

ExploreFrequently asked questions
Can we manage both charter and scheduled flights?+
Yes. Charter seats are managed in the charter module, while scheduled content can be added through GDS or NDC connections in the API hub.
Does it support seat-only sales?+
Yes. The same seat inventory can be sold seat-only or as part of packages, with separate pricing rules.
Can our agents keep booking the way they do today?+
Agents get a B2B portal and, if needed, an API connection. Training and a transition period are part of the rollout.
Can we migrate the current season mid-way?+
Yes, though we usually recommend migrating before a new season. Open bookings and inventory can be transferred with careful validation.
