The Ancillary Book request adds a selected ancillary to a workbench for an existing reservation. You must first send an Ancillary Shop request and, for NDC only, an Ancillary Price request. Ancillaries can include baggage, pets, meals, lounge access, wifi, etc.

See the Ancillary and EMD Guide for a list of supported ancillaries. To book seats, use the Seat Book request.

Ancillaries 24.11.32 & 33 and later. For an existing multi-offer booking only, you can book ancillaries and/or seats by sending one book request for each offer. For ancillaries, the workflow is Initiate Workbench > Ancillary Shop > Ancillary Book for offer 1 > Ancillary Book for offer 2 > Commit Workbench. For seats, the workflow is Initiate Workbench > Seat Maps > Seat Book for offer 1 > Seat Book for offer 2 > Commit Workbench. The book requests can be sent in any order: first and second offer or second and first offer. Not supported in the initial booking workflow. GDS only; multi- offers not supported for NDC.

You may also need to add payment for the ancillary in the same workbench session. See payment and EMD details in the Ancillary and EMD Guide.

Example Request

For additional examples and scenarios, download the developer toolkits and see Using Postman and Developer Toolkits.
