Bargain Finder Max News Update: Multiple Fares Per Itinerary
Heiner Preiss | January 2017
As many of you may know, we’ve recently made great enhancements to Multiple Fares Per Itinerary. If you’re using our Bargain Finder Max – Shop Across Passenger Type API, you’ll find both of these new features quite useful.
Multiple Passenger Types
You can now add up to 4 passenger types in the Multiple Fares Per Itinerary fare group instead of 1. Broadening the number of passenger types adds more flexibility and a broader set of fares to compare.
Sample Request
<TPA_Extensions>
<FlexibleFares>
<FareParameters>
<PassengerTypeQuantity Code="NEG" Quantity="2"/>
<PassengerTypeQuantity Code="MIL" Quantity="2"/>
<PassengerTypeQuantity Code="SEA" Quantity="2"/>
<PassengerTypeQuantity Code="JCB" Quantity="2"/>
<XOFares Ind="true"/>
</FareParameters>
</FlexibleFares>
</TPA_Extension>
</TravelPreferences>
Specify Max Penalty
The other important feature that we added is the possibility to specify max penalty in Multiple Fares Per Itinerary. You can now search for refundable or changeable fares, and even filter flights by fare flexibility. This allows you to quickly search, filter and compare fare options!
Sample Request
<Penalty Type="Exchange” Amount="100"/>
<Penalty Type="Refund" Amount="100"/>
</VoluntaryChanges>
