Philippine Airlines has become the first carrier to deploy multi-currency pricing through Amadeus\u2019 innovative FX Box platform. When international passengers shop on the airline\u2019s website they can choose to have the offer presented in their preferred currency, making the shopping experience easier, clearer, and more compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service allows the airline to offer an improved customer experience while controlling the exchange rates used. This is different from many foreign exchange services available today which are managed by the payments chain directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the newly launched FX Box Platform, Philippine Airlines offers are repriced in the passenger\u2019s currency based on direct access to highly competitive exchange rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bart Tompkins, Managing Director, Payments, Amadeus<\/strong> commented: \u201cDisplaying the offer in the traveler\u2019s currency drastically improves the shopping experience and boosts conversion rates. Imagine a US citizen who\u2019s traveled to Japan and then needs to book a flight to the Philippines. It\u2019s hard for that US traveler to compare the airline\u2019s offer and make a decision when it\u2019s priced in Japanese Yen or Philippine Pesos.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilson H. Go, Chief Information Officer, Philippine Airlines <\/strong>explained: \u201cBy working with Amadeus we\u2019ve made it easier for international travelers to book our flights in currencies they understand. Enhancing the traveler\u2019s payment options with FX Box provides transparency and improves the experience of our travelers. Making travel simpler and easier through digital innovations is a key priority for PAL as we prepare to add more flights and welcome an increased number of international travelers on our nonstop flights within Asia, to North America, UK, and the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Philippine Airlines has become the first carrier to deploy multi-currency pricing through Amadeus\u2019 innovative FX Box platform.
