MaxNumberOfUpsellsToReturn

Number. Supports values from 0 to 99 inclusive. Send to request upsell A fare presented along with the base fare as a higher level of service, usually a branded fare. Returned if filed by the carrier and requested with maxNumberOfUpsellsToReturn in the Search request. offers along with pricing for the requested class, returned in ascending price order. NDC only; not supported for GDS.

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 A confirmed reservation with the carrier. A held booking is a reservation that has not yet been ticketed. The terms booking and reservation are interchangeable. 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.

To cause AirPrice to perform the same check for connecting flights, you can send both reCheckInventory=true and SpecificFlightCriteria/boundFlightsInd=true per below for any flight segment A flight or flights under one flight number. One flight equals one segment. A segment could have multiple flights if the flight number remains the same, which happens if a flight makes a stop without changing planes. with a connecting flight.

PricingModifiersAir

Optional pricing modifiers. See the PricingModifiersAir table below.

PassengerCriteria

Array. Defines the type of passenger/s on the itinerary.

Send one PassengerCriteria for each passenger type code (PTC Passenger Type Code, used to categorize travelers. The most common PTCs are adult (ADT), child (CNN), and infant (INF). You can request a maximum of 9 passengers in one Search request.).

May include optional CustomerLoyalty.

passengerTypeCode

String. The passenger type code for the passengers on the itinerary. Common PTCs are:

• false: If no fares are available for the specified PTC, returns fares for the default ADT (adult) PTC.

CustomerLoyalty

Optional object for sending customer loyalty information, such as for a frequent flyer program.

If CustomerLoyalty is sent in the Search request, it must also be sent in the AirPrice request and the Add Traveler request. Because some carriers validate frequent traveler data through the workflow, failing to send the same CustomerLoyalty details, even if invalid, may cause a booking failure. If an invalid number is sent, the response returns the warning message M INVALID FQTV NAME OR NUMBER - {carrier An airline. code} and the JSON APIs cache the invalid number to prevent a potential booking failure.

• Z: Customer sold from e-streamed data stored in customer cache

boundFlightsInd

Boolean. 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.
