Sabre, PayPal and Mindtrip join forces for an end-to-end AI travel experience

First consumer product is slated for launch in Q2 2026

Sabre, PayPal and start-up Mindtrip announce an alliance to deliver an agentic AI experience spanning inspiration, booking and management. A first consumer product is slated for launch in Q2 2026, starting with flights.

Sabre, PayPal and Mindtrip are teaming up to create what they describe as the travel industry’s first end-to-end agentic AI experience. The aim is a continuous journey, from inspiration to action, where the user outlines their plans in natural language, receives personalised options and completes the booking without leaving the interface. Launch is planned for Q2 2026.

The traveller will no longer need to juggle tabs and apps, interacting instead with an assistant on the Mindtrip platform — the Silicon Valley start-up, founded in 2023, provides the consumer conversational interface. Within a single flow, they will specify destinations, dates, budget and preferences; refine their request as recommendations evolve; then book and pay. Payment and identity verification will be handled via PayPal’s digital wallet, with protections and flexible payment options. Behind the scenes, Sabre’s platform orchestrates real-time shopping, pricing, availability, ticketing and servicing. The roll-out will be phased: flights first, then hotels, enabling a seamless transition from inspiration and choice to payment and post-booking management.

The scale required for agentic AI to reach its full potential

With this alliance, the partners aim to fix a travel purchase journey that remains too fragmented, while capitalising on the rise of conversational commerce. “We started Mindtrip with one clear goal: to make the end-to-end travel journey seamless,” said Andy Moss, CEO and co-founder of Mindtrip. “Today, in partnership with PayPal and Sabre, we’re realizing that vision. Rather than bouncing between search tools, booking sites and payment screens, travelers will have the ability to discover, plan, book, and pay for a trip in one continuous, intuitive, trusted, conversational experience.”

At the core of the experience, the Sabre Mosaic foundation and its APIs provide access to extensive content: over 420 airlines, including 150 low‑cost carriers, as well as over 2 million lodging options. “We believe consumer behavior will continue to shift towards conversational commerce, and we see our role as helping the travel industry seize this opportunity – because the full potential of agentic AI for travel can only be realized at scale when it’s connected to enterprise-grade technology capable of handling real-world complexity,” summarised Garry Wiseman, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Sabre.
