Universal API Release 24.1.3

PNR issued for ES resident fares when timeout to SARA occurs and updates the passenger information in the SARA database.

 

1G

Previously, when residency was not validated, due to a timeout or processing issue, when issuing a PNR for Spanish resident fares, a ticket was issued, but no failed validation message was being added to the booking.

This enhancement returns an warning, "003 PLATAFORMA SARA NO DISPONIBLE (Platform not available)." when requesting Spanish resident fares and the residency cannot be validated against the Spanish Government residency database, SARA. However, a ticket is still issued, and new endpoints are called to update the passenger information in the SARA database. Following the update, a response message returns,

<common_v53_0:ResponseMessage Code="0" Type="Info" ProviderCode="1G">SaveResidence/MR LASTNAME FIRSTNAME/007-RESIDENT DATA CORRECTLY INSERTED IN DDBB</common_v53_0:ResponseMessage>

Universal API Release 24.1.2

Travelport supports Ryanair UK Limited flights within the Ryanair API.

ACH

ACH supports Ryanair UK Limited flights within the Ryanair API. Ryanair UK is a subsidiary of low-cost carrier group Ryanair Holdings, with flight operations commencing in March 2019. This is not a separate adapter. Therefore, this comes with the following limitations:

  • In Universal API, when “FR” and “RK” flights are combined, the PNR confirmation is the same. However, the airline code is different based on the selected carrier.

  • In Travelport Smartpoint (Desktop) and Universal API, ancillary services and seat assignments cannot be added post book.

  • All rules, fare types, and fare type restrictions are the same as "FR" coded flights.

Universal API Release 24.1.1

Support CHR passenger types for Spanish Resident fares at ticketing.

 

1G

Previously, Spanish Resident CHR tickets were not saved in the Sistema de Acreditación de Residencia Automático (SARA) database when tickets were issued.

This enhancement allows the attribute for CHR passenger at the time of ticketing to transmit the CHR ticket number to the SARA database.
