Duffel

Duffel is a travel technology company registered in London. It sells an API that lets businesses sell travel. The company says any business can use it, from start-ups to large enterprises. Businesses can shop, book and manage flights, stays and travel extras. The company's homepage describes the aim as selling travel without the complexity.

The Flights API offers an intuitive flight search. It can offer loyalty programme perks, add seats and bags, and manage orders. Ancillaries such as baggage and seat selection can be added in a few steps. Through its managed content, Duffel gives access to content from global airlines, using its accreditation and ticketing authority. The company says it connects to over 300 airlines.

Duffel Stays lets sellers earn commission on over 1 million properties around the world. The product includes global inventory, loyalty benefits and rich content. The company says this helps customers find the information they need and use their loyalty benefits when they shop for hotels.

Developers get documentation, user guides and an API reference. Client libraries are available for Node.js, Python and Ruby. Prebuilt components include seat selection and payments. The company also publishes a changelog and a status page.

Duffel lists use cases for challenger banks and spend management companies. It also has guides for businesses that want to start a travel business, an NDC guide, and pages for airlines.
