Public Fare quote

Fare quote assumptions

Travelport 360 Fares makes the following assumptions when you make a basic entry to request a fare quote:

• All passengers in a booking file require a fare quote.

• All passengers are adults (except infants identified as such in the name field and where a passenger type code is entered as a name remark)

• All segments are to be quoted.

• Sale and ticketing to take place in the country of your agency location.

• Ticketing to take place on the same date as the fare is quoted, or within the guarantee limits.

• A stopover is assumed where connections are 24 hours or more for international travel, and 4 hours or more if the journey is within North America.

• Passengers are not exempted from ticketable taxes.

You can include fare quote modifiers with your fare quote entry to override any or all of these assumptions.
