Configuring IE Mode in Microsoft Edge
On June 15, 2022, Microsoft plans to end support the Internet Explorer (IE) 11 browser for certain operating systems. However, agents can continue to use Smartpoint Worldspan with an IE Mode in the Microsoft Edge browser.
Because Travelport will no longer support Smartpoint on Internet Explorer after it is retired by Microsoft, agents using Smartpoint Worldspan are required to move to the IE Mode in Microsoft Edge.
Please Note: Your agency may have a specific time line or implementation method for moving to Microsoft Edge. If applicable, agents should contact their agency's Smartpoint Administrator or technical support before setting up IE Mode in Microsoft Edge.
