Release Notes

Below are release notes for major versions 25.11.x of the Travelport JSON Air APIs, covering releases on model 11 in 2025. Incremental minor version updates (25.11.x.y) are listed only when they include customer-facing changes.

See Archived Release Notes for previous releases numbered 24.11.x and earlier. Version numbering uses the following format:

{year of release}.{model and thus major version of release}.{minor version of release}

In individual online help topics, support for new functionality is noted only for current and previous year releases (i.e., starting with 25. or 24.). Functionality deployed in previous releases (23.) is no longer specifically called out in topics.

; add SSR by IATA code <ROLLED BACK FROM 6/12 DEPLOYMENT

In the existing SpecialServiceList request payload, Introduces the ability to add remarks by SSR code. Supported for any remark or service request that has an industry SSR code and does not require payment. Previously, the JSON APIs required these SSRs to be added by the name of the service, such as Wheelchair. Uses the existing SpecialServiceList endpoint and updates the existing SpecialServiceList payload as follows:

  1. New object SSRCode

  2. New value of SpecialService for SpecialServiceID @type

  3. Changes TravelerIdentifier/id from required to optional

All previously implemented requests for adding SSRs continue to be supported. Requires model upgrade to ODM version 11.20. GDS only; not supported for NDC.

Developer Advisories for Upcoming Features

Travelport has released developer advisories (DAs) for the following upcoming features. DAs are issued for changes that may significantly change code and/or functionality in the JSON APIs. You must sign into My Travelport to see the full DA. Contact your Travelport representative if you have questions about how an upcoming release may affect you. After a feature has been deployed, it moves into the release notes on this page and is no longer listed in this section.

These features may require you to make code changes prior to deployment. This section is not inclusive of all upcoming features, and all deployment dates are subject to change.

Restful API Microservices – Unpriced Segments (DA 1062)

Expected deployment date: 5 Sep 2025

The Reservation Retrieve response will return several new objects to support returning unpriced segments for any booking that includes unpriced content. Unpriced segments can only be added to a booking through a terminal program; you cannot add them with the JSON APIs. Because an unpriced segment has no price, it will not be returned as an offer in the Offer object, and it will not have Price details. Instead it will be returned in the new UnpricedSegments object.

GDS and LCC segments will be supported to be added as unpriced. In addition, the Arrival Unknown (ARNK) segment currently returned in Offer will be returned as an unpriced segment. GDS only; unpriced NDC segments cannot be added to a GDS booking, and unpriced GDS segments cannot be added to NDC content.

This work will be released in phases and eventually support the following:

  • Cancel unpriced segments

  • Price multiple or all air segments per passenger

  • Cancel multiple segments or a specific existing price (equivalent of a filed fare in the host system)

  • Add a specific or multiple air segments

  • Process an exchange for an itinerary with multiple tickets and multiple passengers

The following objects will returned in the Reservation Retrieve when a booking has unpriced segment/s:

  • Reservation returns UnpricedSegments with details of the unpriced segment.

  • TravelerProduct returns UnpricedFlightSegmentRefs to list unpriced segment/s for that traveler.

  • Receipt/Confirmation returns UnpricedSegmentsStatus with the status of the air segment.

  • ReservationDisplaySequence returns UnpricedSegmentDisplaySequence to indicate the sequence of the unpriced segment.

If there are no unpriced segments and no ARNK, there is no change to the Reservation Retrieve response.

Update to model v11.22 required for this feature.

The following example Reservation Retrieve response includes one priced offer and one unpriced segment.

JSON API Price Removal of Quantity Field when Baggage Allowance is Kilograms for GDS Content (DA 1064)

Expected deployment date: 21 Jul 2025

The AirPrice full and reference payload responses will no longer return quantity (BaggageAllowance/BaggageItem/quantity ) when the baggage allowance is returned in kilograms.

Impact summary: AirPrice users that currently validate the quantity field must update their code not to consume BaggageItem/quantity when BaggageItem/Measurement/unit = Kilograms. 
        "BaggageItem": [
            {
                "@type": "BaggageItem",

Versions 25.11.1 of the GDS full and reference payload developer toolkits are available on Developer Toolkits & Downloads.

Air Offer (Search and AirPrice)

Air Offer 25.11.54: Internal | 5 Jun 2025

Internal updates only.

Air Offer 25.11.53: Baggage allowance indicators | 7 May 2025

In all search and price responses, adds baggage indicators to TermsAndConditions/BaggageAllowance/BaggageItem. These indicators make it easier to determine if baggage is included in the price and whether it is determined by piece or by weight. They also normalize baggage allowance details between GDS and NDC. Each instance of BaggageItem returns the following as applicable for the baggage allowance in that set of terms and conditions:

  • includedInOfferPrice: String. Possible values:

    • Yes: Baggage is included in the price.

    • No: Baggage is not included in the price; available for an additional charge.

    • Unknown: Unknown if baggage is included in the price.

  • soldByPieceInd: Boolean. Returned only if true. Indicates baggage allowance is by piece, such as one, two, or three pieces.

  • soldByWeightInd: Boolean. Returned only if true. Indicates the baggage is allowed by weight, either kilograms or pounds, such as 50 pounds or 35 kilograms.

Update to model v11.22 required for this feature.

Air Offer 25.11.52.1: ContentSource to indicate GDS/NDC content | 9 Apr 2025

Adds support for returning the new ContentSource object in Offer for all search and price responses to indicate whether the offer/s are from GDS or NDC. Returned in Search, Next Leg Search, Flight Specific Search reference and full payload responses in ProductBrandOffering/ContentSource, and AirPrice reference and full payload responses in OfferID//ContentSource.

Adds support for requesting upsells for NDC content by sending MaxNumberOfUpsellsToReturn in the AirPrice full payload request. NDC only; not supported for GDS.

Air Offer 25.11.52: Internal | 2 Apr 2025

Internal updates only.

Air Offer 25.11.51.3: Multi-city offers with stopovers & removal of Price object | 31 March 2025

For GDS only, in all search responses, adds support for returning multi-city offers with stopovers when available. This enables the return of lower fares and additional itinerary options. Such multi-city offers are identified by CombinabilityCode values using the new format jc, as in jc1, jc2, and so on. As part of this change, instead of returning price details in both Price and BestCombinablePrice, ProductBrandOffering returns pricing only in BestCombinablePrice, and no longer returns the Price object. This applies to all GDS content in all Search, Next Leg Search, and Flight Specific Search responses. Multi-city offers are not returned for split ticketing, although the code update does apply. Multi-city offers with stopovers are not returned for NDC, and there are no code changes for NDC offers at this time. You can opt-out of this change by contacting your Travelport representative; if so, multi-city offers with stopovers will not be returned for any content for your PCC, and all offers will continue to return both Price and BestCombinablePrice.
