There are two drop-down menu items:

Stops allows you to sort by No Stops, 1 Stop or 2 Stops with options based on the shop results, number of city pairs in each trip (one connection is one stop).

Option	Description
Blank	Default, no selection, displays all stops
No Stops	Display only non stop trips
1 Stop	Displays no stops and up to 1 stop trips
2 Stops	Displays no stops and up to 2 stop trips

The Depart and Arrive check box may be disabled (grayed out) if the shop results contain only one departure airport for the starting point and one arrival airport for the final point.

In the example above the request in the initial e-pricing script was for IAD, so the check box has been disabled.  If the request in the initial e-pricing script had been WAS, the check boxes for Depart would be enabled as shown in the screen below:

Note: As the Depart/Return same airport has been selected the Return to WAS has been disabled, and the two airports IAD and BWI are selected automatically.

When the Depart/Return same airport is not selected, the Return is also enabled to allow you to select a specific return airport, IAD and/or BWI.

Use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen to move down in the display to view the Airlines and time of departure and arrival

The Airlines option displays a check box for each airline found in the shop results.  If there is only one airline, the check box will be selected and disabled.

Note: To determine airlines, Smartpoint uses the plating carrier for each trip if available.  For Direct Payment flights and some Network (GDS) flights, the plating carrier may not be returned. In this case, Smartpoint uses the carrier for the first segment of the trip.

Depart and Arrive display a slider with minimum and maximum times for each leg of the trip.

Option	Description
DefaultBlank	No time selected
Min Time	Will be 12:00 AM
Max Time	Will be 11:59 PM

Note:

• Moving the slider to the left or right increases or decreases the time range.
• Selecting a departure minimum and maximum displays only results that are in the range of the times selected.
• If the shop results includes multiple destinations, there is a DEPART time section for each outbound flight.

At the top of the Filters you have the options to APPLY or RESET.

Note:

• Clicking on APPLY closes the Filters and the search results display with the updated selected filter options.
• Clicking RESET set sall the selections to the default, closes the Filters, and applies the changes to the results.
• When filters are applied, the alert FILTERS APPLIED will be displays at the top of Fare Shopping screen.
