TRX TRAVEL ANALYTICS.

 

Free Tools: Airline Sourcing

The tools below help you make fast and easy estimates of potential savings in each of the major travel categories. These tools are not intended to provide rigorous or detailed analyses; doing so requires access to more detailed data and more sophisticated analytical tools. But if you need a quick "what if?" estimate, these will do the job — and they look great in presentations!

For the best viewing of these tools, please be sure you have the most current version of Macromedia Flash. Each tool may be used from our website, or you may download the tool as a PowerPoint (ppt) file or an Adobe Reader (pdf) file. Click here if you need the most current version of Adobe Reader.
