GDS only. For NDC exchange functionality, see the Exchange, Refund, and Void Guide.

Exchange Search is the second step in the GDS exchange workflow, after the optional Eligibility step. It searches for an alternate itinerary for a possible exchange on a currently ticketed GDS itinerary. The response details any differences in base fare, taxes, fees, and total price between the currently ticketed itinerary and the possible new itinerary. It should be followed by an Add/Modify Offer request to select a new itinerary from these search results.

When exchanging multi-offer tickets, you must exchange each offer in its own workbench session. See Multi-offer Exchanges.
