AirPrice Full Payload API Reference

OfferQueryBuildFromProducts

Top level object.

Includes BuildFromProductsRequest and FareRuleType.

lowFareFinderInd

Boolean. Provides pricing flexibility around class of service. If not sent, or sent with false, the response returns fares only in the requested class of service. Supported values:

• true: Returns the lowest fares available in any class of service available, which may not be the same as the requested class.
• false: Provides fares for only the specified class of service. Default.

returnBrandedFaresInd

Return brand attributes for branded fares. See Brand Pricing in the Air Pricing Guide.

Supported values:

• true: Returns brand attributes.
• false: Does not return brand attributes. Default.

validateInventoryInd

Boolean. Set to true to verify availability for the requested number of passengers in a specific class of service at the time of the price request. If sent with false or not sent, AirPrice may return upsell offers with no availability in the requested class of service. If there are fewer seats than requested passengers available in that class of service, AirPrice does not return any offers and instead returns the error message BOOKING CLASS/PREFERENCE NOT AVAIL CHECK AVAILABILITY. This reduces failures at the Add Offer and Workbench Commit steps.

Supported in both the reference and full payload responses. GDS only; not supported for NDC, as NDC carriers already validate inventory at pricing.

Supported values:

• true: Checks for availability in the requested class of service.
• false: Checks only for general seat availability on the flight, not a specific class of service. Default.

reCheckInventoryInd

Boolean. Set to true to verify availability for the requested number of passengers in a specific class of service at the time of the price request. This indicator causes AirPrice to book the seats and then release them. If any or all segments are not bookable, AirPrice returns the message The air segments are not bookable along with the dates and city pairs of the segments that are not bookable, per the following example. This indicator can help reduce sell failures at booking by alerting of insufficient availability.

Supported only in the full payload request.

Supported values:

• true: Books and then releases the requested number of seats in the requested class of service.
• false: Checks only for general seat availability on the flight, not a specific class of service. Default.

boundFlightsInd

Boolean. With AirPrice 23.11.27 and later, to cause AirPrice to perform a sell/ignore availability check on connecting flight/s as well as the initial flight on a leg, when sending reCheckInventoryInd=trueper above, also send boundFlightsInd=true for any flight segment that has a connecting flight. (Note that recommended best practice is to use validateInventoryInd instead of reCheckInventoryInd.)

Show Example with boundFlightsInd

The following example request is for a round trip itinerary with connecting flights both ways. It sends

• reCheckInventoryInd=true

• boundFlightsInd=true for the first flight segment on the outbound/departure leg

• boundFlightsInd=true for the first flight segment on the inbound/return leg

Both segments have a segmentSequence value of 0and connect to another flight segment.

• If an account code is sent without accountCodeFaresOnlyInd set to true, the response includes any fares filed for that account code plus fares that are not specific to the account code.

• If accountCodeFaresOnlyInd is sent with true and no account code, the indicator is ignored and the response returns all fares and the following warning message: accountCodeFaresOnlyInd set to true requires an account code to be specified in the request.
