Nexonia Travel works with several Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to provide robust travel services for users.
However, some travel vendors, like Allegiant Air and Volaris, sell their travel services outside of the GDS search. To include travel vendors in search results, Nexonia Travel provides a feature called the SuperSwitch to connect with these outside travel shopping sources. The SuperSwitch then connects to Travelfusion.
This article shows you, a TMC Administrator, how to activate the SuperSwitch required for air and add it to your Policy Tree.
Setting up Air SuperSwitch

Step 2: On your Nexonia Travel homepage, click Admin. Then, click Policy Setup, followed by Super Switch Settings.
Step 3: Next, click Add New Provider Setting under the Provider Settings menu.
