AirGateway for travel agencies: onboarding and pricing
An agency joins AirGateway in about a week: a short call, an onboarding form, a signed Order Form, then AirGateway asks the airlines for your NDC access. You pay AirGateway directly: BookingPad from €100 a month plus €50 a month for the Partner API connection, and €1 per issued booking for most airlines. With that in place, GateRoam puts AirGateway's NDC fares in the same search as your Amadeus or Travelport+ fares, in Claude, ChatGPT or the GateRoam app.
What does an agency sign up for?
Two things at AirGateway, both on your agency's own contract:
- BookingPad, AirGateway's booking tool. Every AirGateway agency has it, and it is where tickets are issued, changed and refunded.
- The Partner API subscription, the connection that software like GateRoam uses to search and book for you.
NDC fares run under your agency's own IATA number: the airline issues the ticket in your name, paid by BSP cash or card, as each airline allows. Without IATA, AirGateway offers low-cost airlines paid by card, and other airlines through AERTicket content, with your own AERTicket contract.
How does AirGateway onboard an agency?
As AirGateway described it to us in November 2026:
- A short call with AirGateway about your agency and the airlines you sell.
- The onboarding form and the Order Form. You fill in the form and sign the Order Form.
- The airline approvals. AirGateway asks each airline for NDC access for your agency. A few airlines, such as Lufthansa Group and British Airways, need a short step from you, and AirGateway guides you through it.
- Live in about a week. The airline approvals take the longest; some airlines are quick.
Which airlines you get depends on AirGateway and each airline's rules in your market. AirGateway lists 40+ NDC and low-cost airlines on its providers page, and its newer API, the one GateRoam uses, is adding them step by step. Ask AirGateway which airlines will be live for your agency.
What does AirGateway cost?
As listed on AirGateway's pricing page in November 2026:
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| BookingPad Small (1 IATA number, 10 agent accounts) | €100 a month |
| BookingPad Medium (25 agents) / Large (50) / Max (200) | €250 / €450 / €900 a month |
| Partner API subscription, the connection GateRoam uses | €50 a month per IATA number |
| Per issued booking | €1, waived for selected airlines |
| Low-cost content a third party provides (Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Volotea, Transavia, Jet2) | €0.85 more per booking |
| Setup fee, minimum term | None: "No setup or implementation cost. No commitments." |
So a small agency starts from €150 a month plus the per-booking fees: with 100 bookings a month, at most €250. Prices change, so check AirGateway's page before you decide. GateRoam itself is free during early access and adds no fee.
How do you connect AirGateway to GateRoam?
- Get your AirGateway account, or add the Partner API subscription if you already use BookingPad.
- Create a free GateRoam account and your agency.
- Connect GateRoam to your agency in your AirGateway account. We approve the connection, and your agency gets its consumer key.
- An admin pastes it under Settings → Suppliers → Add supplier → AirGateway. GateRoam tests it before it saves it. Every step and the FAQ: AirGateway MCP.
- Each colleague connects Claude or ChatGPT with the server URL
https://gateroam.com/mcp(how).
From then on, one search asks your GDS and AirGateway together, and a colleague can hold an AirGateway option from the app where the airline allows it. You issue it in BookingPad. What the AI does with AirGateway, step by step: AirGateway MCP: NDC fares in Claude and ChatGPT. Why an agency adds it next to its GDS: Cover every flight: GDS, NDC and low-cost in one search.
