Pricing Fares with Smartpanel

After you select an Flight Shopping option or Air Availability itinerary, you can use Smartpanel to price/fare quote and/or store fares for your selections. You can price fares as one ticket or individual tickets.

  • For Air Availability, pricing is required to price the selected itinerary.
  • For Flight Shopping:
  1. For Direct Payment Carriers, pricing is required after fare shopping to ensure that the most recent fares are quoted.
  2. For Network (GDS) Carries, pricing is strongly recommended after fare shopping. While a selected availability and pricing option can be booked without pricing for Network Carriers, it is best practice to price before booking to validate your selected pricing option.
To price an itinerary in Smartpanel:
  1. Select an Air Availability itinerary or book a Flight Shopping option.
  2. Open or display Smartpanel, if necessary.
  3. Click the Air Pricing tab to display the pricing and stored fare options for your selected itinerary. This tab is available only if your PNR/Booking File contains a booked itinerary.
  4. Select the desired pricing or stored fare radio button. Available options vary by GDS.
Travelport+ (1G) Example

Travelport+ (1G) customers can select from Best Buy (FQBB), Fare Quote (FQ), and Fare Quote Alternatives (FQA).

Apollo (1V) Example

Apollo (1V) customers can select from Best Buy ($BB), Quote and Store (T:$B), and Quote Only ($B).
