PHOENIX, June 25 /PRNewswire/ — Tripware (http://www.tripware.com/), a travel service for business travelers, now enables travelers to book Southwest flights directly in Microsoft Outlook through Tripware’s OutBook travel software.  Southwest Airlines is the #1 U.S. airline carrier*.  With the addition of Southwest, Tripware offers business travelers eight out of the top 10 U.S. airlines, including American, Delta, United, and US Airways.  Tripware is the only travel service that fully integrates planning and booking of business trips directly in Microsoft Outlook.

“The addition of Southwest Airlines to our booking inventory dramatically increases flight options for our travelers.  The addition also gives Tripware a marked advantage over online travel agencies and allows us to compete head-to-head with select travel management companies.  With Southwest as a booking option, Tripware continues to move towards our goal of making business trips simply effective,” remarked Clark C. Rines, CEO and President for Tripware.

Tripware’s primary product, OutBook, allows a business traveler to plan, book, and manage all their business trip needs in one familiar place: Microsoft Outlook 2007.  According to Dean M. Wright, VP of marketing for Tripware, “Our business travelers can plan a meeting and book a trip in less than three minutes using Tripware OutBook’s preferred booking option.  There is no need to visit multiple websites, itinerary aggregators, or speak to a travel agent.  Adding Southwest will help Tripware become the de rigueur travel service for business folks.”

Whether a business traveler uses Tripware OutBook or the non-Outlook version, Tripware Travel Center, the Southwest Airlines booking option includes rewards program management and the ability to package the flight with a hotel and/or car rental.  Tripware has plans to add other low-cost carriers and international destinations this year.
