Better way to sum a property value in an array

by

I know that this question has an accepted answer but I thought I’d chip in with an alternative which uses array.reduce, seeing that summing an array is the canonical example for reduce:

$scope.sum = function(items, prop){
    return items.reduce( function(a, b){
        return a + b[prop];
    }, 0);
};

$scope.travelerTotal = $scope.sum($scope.traveler, 'Amount');

Fiddle
