Sabre, PayPal and Mindtrip Partner to Launch Agentic AI Travel Booking Platform

The new model aims to streamline the fragmented travel booking process into a single, continuous workflow.

Published on Feb. 13, 2026

Sabre Corporation, PayPal Holdings, and Mindtrip have formed a strategic partnership to create a next-generation agentic AI travel experience. Designed to unify trip discovery, booking, and payment within a single conversational interface, the new platform is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026.

Why it matters

The collaboration combines Mindtrip's conversational AI, PayPal's agentic commerce capabilities, and Sabre's enterprise-grade travel technology to accelerate the future of travel booking. This shift towards conversational commerce aims to make the end-to-end travel journey more seamless for consumers.

The details

The new platform will initially support flight bookings, with hotel functionality to follow in a phased rollout. Travelers will interact with an AI-powered assistant on the Mindtrip platform, describing destinations, timing, budgets, and preferences in natural language. The assistant will provide personalized recommendations, and users can refine options and complete bookings directly within the same interface. Sabre will power the real-time shopping, pricing, availability, booking, and servicing through its Mosaic platform, while PayPal will serve as the preferred commerce partner, embedding its digital wallet and checkout capabilities.
