Flight Item General Traffic Restriction Codes

The AAFI <AvailFlt> / <GenTrafRestriction> element is returned in the 1001 <AirAvail> response. These IATA codes are used by the Airlines to control the flight segment display and connection build process.
 

Note: While these are the definitions, the guidelines for use can be complex and customers that attempt to build their own connections may build unacceptable connections. Consult the latest IATA Standards manual for a full list and description. This is a list of potential values, but not meant to be inclusive.
