What does it cost to use a Viewdata terminal ?
Information providers such as FASTRACK and X-TANT (Istel) make their revenue from the airlines, tour operators etc. who use their respective Viewdata Networks as ‘Gateways’ so agenys can access their travel reservation systems to search and book holidays ‘live’ on line. Calls charged at local 0845 rates. It should be noted however that it is at the discretion of individual suppliers whether they restrict entry to their database to members of recognised trade organisations such as ABTA or the Travel Trust Association.
