Pre-Held Flight Inventory From Many Suppliers, One Search
When the GDS shows a sector as full or the fare has jumped, the seats you need may still exist - held in blocks by consolidators and tour operators. EazyPNR puts that inventory in one place for approved agents.
- Series and group seats from several suppliers
- Seats already held, not subject to live availability
- Your agent fare visible before booking
- One account instead of many supplier chats
Pre-held inventory vs published GDS availability
They solve different problems, and most agents need both.
| Published GDS availability | Pre-held B2B inventory | |
|---|---|---|
| Where seats sit | In the airline's live inventory, sold by fare class | Already committed to a supplier under a block or series |
| Price behaviour | Moves as fare classes close | Set by the supplier for the block; may be changed by them |
| When a flight looks full | No seats shown in bookable classes | Held seats may still be available |
| Fare rules | Airline published rules | Supplier rules, often more restrictive on changes and refunds |
| How you book | Your GDS or booking engine | Supplier platform such as EazyPNR, against held seats |
Situations where held inventory earns its keep
Peak travel dates
Holidays, festivals and school breaks when live fares spike or classes close early.
Sold-out sectors
Popular routes where suppliers bought blocks well before demand peaked.
Groups and families
Several seats on the same flight at one fare, without splitting across classes.
Package and tour sales
Seats you can confirm before building the rest of the itinerary.
Short-notice bookings
A confirmed seat while the client is still on the phone.
Price-sensitive clients
A predictable fare rather than one that changes between quote and booking.
Stop checking supplier groups one by one
Agents who rely on series seats often belong to many supplier broadcast groups. Finding a seat means scrolling through lists, messaging to check it is still free and waiting for a reply.
On EazyPNR, every supplier that has distributed inventory to you appears in the same search. Results show the supplier, flight, timings, baggage, rules and your fare, with live seat counts. Learn more in what is B2B airline inventory.
- Search by sector and date across all suppliers you can access.
- Compare side by side fares, timings and baggage on the same departure date.
- Book against held seats so the seat count is checked at confirmation.

What to check before selling a held seat
Held inventory is not a like-for-like replacement for a published fare. Series and group seats commonly have tighter change and refund conditions, fixed baggage and name deadlines set by the supplier.
Read the fare and cancellation rules on each result and pass them on to your client before you confirm. That one habit prevents most disputes later.
- Change and refund conditions
- Baggage allowance
- Name submission deadline
- Whether the booking is instant or on request
What is B2B flight inventory?
It is airline seats held by travel businesses - consolidators, wholesalers, tour operators - and made available to other travel businesses to sell, rather than sold directly to consumers.
Is the inventory on EazyPNR the same as GDS availability?
No. It is seats suppliers have already committed to under blocks or series. It complements, rather than replaces, your GDS or booking engine.
Why might held seats be available when a flight looks full?
Seats in a supplier block are already removed from the airline's general sale, so they can remain available to agents until the supplier sells or releases them.
Do I need a separate account with each supplier?
No. One approved agent account gives you access to every supplier that has distributed inventory to you.
Can consumers book directly?
No. EazyPNR is a B2B platform for travel businesses only.
