Yes — for packaged flight + hotel offers (sometimes called dynamic packaging), the best-known API options are:

1) Amadeus for Developers

  • Good for: flight search, hotel search, booking flows, and combining components on your side
  • Strengths: broad global inventory, well-documented APIs, good developer experience
  • Notes: packaging is usually something you build by orchestrating separate flight and hotel searches
  • Best if: you want a major travel API provider and flexibility

2) Sabre APIs

  • Good for: enterprise-grade travel search and booking
  • Strengths: strong airline content, hotel availability, booking capabilities
  • Notes: more enterprise-oriented; packaging often requires custom workflow
  • Best if: you need deeper GDS coverage and can work with a more complex integration

3) Travelport

  • Good for: flight + hotel search and booking across GDS content
  • Strengths: strong availability and booking infrastructure
  • Notes: similar to Sabre, packaging is typically assembled in your app
  • Best if: you want a GDS-based solution with broad supplier access

4) Duffel

  • Good for: modern flight API
  • Strengths: clean API, easy integration for flights
  • Notes: does not cover packaged hotel offers by itself, so you’d need a hotel partner separately
  • Best if: flights are your priority and you can pair it with another hotel API

5) Hotelbeds + flight partner

  • Good for: hotel availability and wholesale rates
  • Strengths: large hotel inventory, especially for travel packaging use cases
  • Notes: you’d combine with a flight API to create packages
  • Best if: your focus is hotel-led packages or wholesale distribution

If you specifically want a single API for packaged flight + hotel offers

That’s less common than separate flight and hotel APIs. In practice, most companies:

  • use one provider for flight search/availability
  • use one provider for hotel search/availability
  • build the package logic themselves

If you want something closer to an “all-in-one” travel shopping setup, start with:

  • Amadeus
  • Sabre
  • Travelport

Quick recommendation

  • Best overall for developers: Amadeus
  • Best enterprise/GDS coverage: Sabre or Travelport
  • Best modern flight API: Duffel + a hotel API like Hotelbeds

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a comparison table of these APIs,
  2. a recommended stack by use case (startup, OTA, corporate travel, etc.), or
  3. links to the relevant endpoints for search/availability.
