London, UK (August 14, 2023) - Global travel tech provider, Snowfall, has announced that partners using its innovative Junction multimodal travel search and book platform, will be able to access and book Brightline’s ground-breaking US rail travel content.
Brightline is the only provider of modern, eco-friendly, intercity rail in America. The company was founded in 2017 to create a solution for routes that are too long to drive, but too short to fly in South Florida. Brightline’s high-speed rail network currently serves Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, and its Orlando station will launch in 2023. The company has already welcomed over two million passengers on board its state-of-the-art trains. Brightline intends to bring its award-winning service to additional city pairs and congested corridors across the US, with immediate plans to connect Las Vegas to Southern California.
The addition of Brightline means Snowfall customers will be able to easily search Brightline train route options and combine them with other travel options from Junction’s global marketplace, including first-to-last-mile travel content from 50+ rail operators, 700+ airlines (including NDC), 160+ bus/coach operators, 160+ ferry operators, 42,000+ car rental locations, 1 million+ hotels, and 800+ shared/micro-mobility providers, into a single seamless, multimodal travel itinerary.
Stefan Cars, CEO & Founder, Snowfall commented: “Brightline is offering an exciting new rail travel solution for business and leisure travellers in America and we are delighted to partner with such an impressive innovator in this space who shares our vision for reinventing the way people experience travel.
The sustainable travel groundswell is driving a growing appetite among corporate travellers for multimodal forms of travel, and in particular a shift from air or car to rail travel. But this also requires seamless technology to book all those options in one place. Our aim with Junction is to deliver as much content as possible to our partners, so they can drive a true door-to-door, first-to-last-mile travel experience in one booking for their customers. Now that content also includes simple, stress-free access to Brightline’s ground-breaking US rail content.”
Gabriel Martinez, VP Distribution & Channel Sales, Brightline said: “Throughout South Florida, and soon Orlando, Brightline is empowering businesses, clients, and everyone in between to do their best work. Brightline is excited to offer this first-of-its-kind travel solution for travellers conducting business in Florida and we are excited that partners and customers using Junction will now be able to search and book a ride for their clients via this dynamic platform, giving full control over travel budgets and travel schedules.”
