The integration makes Brightline available through standard distribution channels. Travel agents and corporate travel planners worldwide use those channels. Also, rail segments can be added to itineraries alongside flights. Air-and-rail bookings can then be managed within one transaction process.

Brightline Amadeus integration in travel workflows

Julie Sharenow, Vice President of Sales at Brightline, said:

Brightline’s inclusion in the Amadeus ecosystem represents a new frontier for rail distribution in the U.S.

We’re making it simpler than ever for travel trade partners to sell high-demand rail connections between Florida’s key destinations. From the theme parks of Orlando to vibrant South Florida city centres, agents can now enhance traveller itineraries with efficient, hospitality-driven rail — all in the same booking stream they use for global air travel.

Brightline services can now be booked through the interfaces travel professionals use for airline reservations. In addition, these interfaces include availability, pricing and ticketing functions. This helps align rail bookings with the established systems used across the travel sector.

Rail distribution through Amadeus Travel Platform

Michael Stalter, Head of Commercial, Rail & Ground Travel at Amadeus, said:

The activation of Brightline content highlights Amadeus’s commitment to expanding multimodal travel options for travel sellers and with the Amadeus Travel platform as the one-stop-shop for trip orchestration. By providing seamless access to Brightline rail content, we offer more sustainable travel choices, greater efficiency and enhanced end-to-end journeys for travellers.

Brightline operates intercity rail services in Florida. These services connect several major destinations. This Amadeus distribution forms part of Brightline’s wider approach to availability across travel trade systems.
