Are Dynamic Bundles for Air Travel Personalization?
(SOURCE: PHOCUSWIRE)

There has been significant hype over the years around the need to personalize travel offerings. In fact, NDC is often thought of as the underlying technology necessary to personalize air choices.

This personalization through NDC has typically taken the form of bundles that combine price with ancillaries (e.g., premium seat, early boarding, free Wi-Fi). Today, most airlines admit that they are unable to personalize offers to individuals, but instead create like-minded groups for their offers.
