I've had to write an entire backend to interface with Sabre - using SOAP/XML - it was anything but straightforward. But yeah, you need surprisingly little information to book/cancel/view flights and PNR data.

Similar for Amadeus, also very complex to interact with. It's all layers of XML and SOAP on top of text based protocols designed in the 60s or 70s.
