Duffel Integration
Modern NDC API for direct airline content — powered by Duffel.
What is Duffel?
Duffel is a London-based travel tech startup that provides a modern REST API for airlines, connecting to carriers directly via NDC and host systems. Unlike legacy GDS, Duffel eliminates EDIFACT and complex session management. It provides flight search, booking, seat selection, ancillaries, order management, and refunds in a clean developer-first JSON API. Backed by major VC firms and serving OTAs, aggregators, and tech companies globally.
How Travix Lab Integrates Duffel

When you call Travix Lab's Flight API, Duffel content is available alongside GDS and LCC sources. We normalize Duffel's Offers, Orders, and Seat Maps into our standard schema.
