The default number of travelers is 1. If you have more than one adult, hover over 1 and you will be able to increase the number up to a maximum of 9.

To add a traveler using a different PTC, press the + symbol.

You can specify the ages of the passengers by selecting the Add passenger age link in the Flight Search panel. Some countries exempt passengers of a certain age from paying taxes.

To ensure a response, don’t select a specific airline.

Loyalty and discounts

Corporate agreement number

You may select a corporate agreement number from the drop-down field, provided there is already one entered in the SI. field in the booking file/PNR.

Membership number

When you add the traveler’s membership number prior to searching for flights, the membership number list will be available (not grayed out). You must then drop down the list and select it to apply it.

Abonnement number

An abonnement number is used by some airlines, giving access to special fares. The number must be entered into the PNR using the format provided by the carrier prior to making your flight search. Then the number is chosen from the drop-down list.

Popular preferences

If perks are more important than cabin selection, you can select your traveler’s choices. You can select multiple preferences including carry-on bag, checked bag, early seat selection and changes to itinerary.
