   • If @ProhibitMinStayFares="true", no minimum stay rules apply to the fares in the response. If false, the fares in the response have minimum stay rules.

   • If @ProhibitMaxStayFares="true", no maximum stay rules apply to the fares in the response. If false, the fares in the response have maximum stay rules.

   • If @ProhibitAdvancePurchaseFares="true", no advanced purchase windows are requires for the fares in the response. If false, the fares in the response have an advanced purchase window.

   • If @ProhibitRestrictedFares="true", no fares in the response contain maximum stay, minimum stay, or advanced purchase rules. If false, the fares in the response contain some type of maximum stay, minimum stay, and/or advanced purchase restriction.

     Note: ProhibitRestrictedFares cannot be combined with any other fare restriction option.

   • If @ProhibitNonRefundableFares="true" it prohibits all fares with refund and changes with penalty.

   • By default, penalty fares are returned. Use /PenaltyFareInformation to prohibit or specify fare penalties.

     • If PenaltyFareInformation @ProhibitPenaltyFares="true", only fares that do not include penalties defined by Category 16 fare rules are returned. These penalties include: cancellation, change, refund, replacement, failure to use, and unticketed PTA.

     • To specify a penalty limit, use PenaltyFareInformation/PenaltyInfoto specify the flat Amount or fare Percentage for the penalty limit.

3. A standard Air Booking response is returned. However, the available fare options will be limited by the corresponding fare restriction modifiers in the request.
