*Archived Transaction*
A basic fare quote provides airfare quotes based on the itinerary and class of service booked. This transaction is used to compare the fare for a booked itinerary, and the best buy fare returned by the FareQuoteBestBuyCompare request. The response includes all the same elements of the FareQuoteStandard response, with an additional detail item; a comparison to current booking codes. This displays the lowest fare available as booked, the lowest available fare, and the difference (savings) between the two fares.
See the Air Shop FAQ for answers to questions regarding all air shopping transactions.
Note: Compare Fare Quote is a comparison function only, and does not store the fare.
To use this transaction, an air itinerary must first be booked using PNRBFManagement_#. The user must also be signed up for agency and/or airline private fares if they want to receive private fares.
