Release Notes

Below are release notes for major versions 25.11.x of the Travelport JSON Air APIs. Incremental minor version updates (25.11.x.y) are listed only when they include customer-facing changes. See Archived Release Notes for releases 25.11.x and earlier.

  • API release numbering uses the following scheme. Note that as of March 2026, release version numbering is no longer sequential for each API:
  • {year of release}.{major model version}.{sequential version of release} OR new format {non-sequential number starting with W}
  • For example, in version numbering until March 2026, an API release numbered as 26.11.14 was the 14th release on ODM model 11 for that API, released in 2026. With the updated format, releases throughout each year are no longer consecutively numbered.

    General Functionality

    Most deployments for both GDS and NDC content are included in an API-specific releases. Cross-API and more general updates are listed in this section.

    NDC Bundled Offers

    In the Search request, adds the custom modifier includeBundledAncillariesInd to request NDC offers that include an ancillary service bundled with the cost of the air fare. This could be a discounted paid seat, or any other ancillary service offered by the carrier. In the Search and AirPrice reference payload responses, for bundled offers, PriceBreakdown returns an instance with the new @type PriceBreakdownAncillaryAir to define the included ancillary and pricing.

    NDC bundled offers are supported in the Ancillary Shop and Price requests as for any other offer. In the Ancillary Shop and Ancillary Price responses, the indicator bundledInd=true is returned in only the first instance of ProductAncillary for any NDC bundled offer.

    Bundled offers can be booked with the Add Offer reference payload request as for any other offer.

    NDC only, not supported for GDS.

    Credential Access Manager

    Travelport has launched a credential access manager to support creating and managing your JSON API credentials:

    See the Knowledge Base article Credential Access Manager in MyTravelport for full details. See Knowledge Base Resources if you need login assistance.

    NDC Disruption Handling

    Introduces standard flows for handling NDC flight disruptions. In the Reservation Retrieve response, adds the Offer @type OfferModify with scheduleChangeInd set to true, and an additional instance of Product @type ProductAir to support returning both the disrupted and new flight segment details for each journey or leg. Customers can then choose to either accept the change, rebook the itinerary, or cancel for a refund per the carrier rules for the disruption. See NDC Flight Disruption Handling in the Booking Guide for details.

    • Premium Flex Search point of sale (POS): In the Search request, send PricingModifiersAir/MultiPricingAgency with up to three PCCs to search in addition to the provisioned PCC. PCCs must be a branch agency provisioned with access for the requested PCC.

    • Premium Flex Search dates: In the Search request, send SearchCriteriaFlight/daysBeforeDeparture and/or /daysAfterDeparture with the value/s 1, 2, or 3 to search up to that number of days before and/or after the departure date.

    The Accept header setting controls whether the response is aggregated (all offers are combined into a single CatalogProductOfferingsResponse objects) or streamed (multiple CatalogProductOfferingsResponse objects are returned consecutively).

    When sending flex search requests, append /premiumflex to the existing endpoint for all APIs in the search flow: Search, Next Leg Search, and/or Flight Specific Search reference payload.

    Scope and support:

    • Not supported for split ticketing or sorting.

    • Only one flex search capability can be sent in a request (i.e., either but not both dates and PCC).
