Air Merchandising Fulfillment for Low Cost and API Carriers

The Air Merchandising Fulfillment request for API carriers (e.g., Delta, United, etc.) and Low Cost Carriers (LCC) such as easyJet that are sourced through Airline Content Hub (ACH), can include optional services for multiple carriers and multiple providers. The request is made post-booking, and the response returns the confirmed Optional Services.
