What this run found
10 trips had an Amadeus offer. For each, this is what NDC quoted for the same itinerary.
Route BOS–DXB · trip a route on exact dates, what a search asks for · itinerary the exact flight combination that gets ticketed, e.g. EK238 / EK237. Tables below say which of the three they compare. Hover a flight code for its departure time.
Per trip: Amadeus's cheapest itinerary vs NDCtrip
One row per trip, anchored on the itinerary Amadeus was cheapest on — what a price-driven agent would have booked. Shows what NDC quoted for those same flights. Every trip appears, including the ones NDC won: they are what the rest are measured against

What decides the cheaper price
For itineraries both sources quoted: whether the cheaper net price comes from the fare or from the commission paid back — net price is the fare minus commission. The last column counts the wins that would reverse if commission were removed
| driver | itineraries | avg_net_gap | flips_without_commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| ndc wins on fare | 14 | 51.39 | 0 |
| amadeus wins on fare | 3 | -209 | 0 |
| ndc wins on commission | 3 | 58.06 | 3 |
