Fare shop without a booked itinerary
HELP FS or H/FS
Fare shop can be used when there is no booked itinerary. You must specify the travel details after the FS function identifier. Fare shop will look for lower options. Ideally, modifiers would need to be added.
The basic entry starts with routing and dates, but optional entries can be added to tailor the shop request to your customers’ requirements.
Example: FSMAD15NOVDOH30NOVMAD
Note: When this entry is run, the left panel displays the Flight Search template for a graphical mode search. See the Storefront module for details.
