The following sections explain more details about the new items.
Passenger Search by Form Of Identification (FOID)
Sometimes the given criteria do not return any results when looking for a reservation, especially when the criteria are very restricted (e.g. FOID). It forces the customer to provide less rigorous criteria that gives more chances to find the reservation. To avoid multiple calls to the /dcci/passenger/details service with different criteria, Digital Connect Check-In introduces a possibility to include alternate search criteria in the request message.
Prerequisites

Configuration
None
Alternate Search Criteria in the /dcci/passenger/details Service
The /dcci/passenger/details service allows to search for the passenger's reservation using multiple criteria. However, using too many criteria or making a typo in one of them might return no search results.
Therefore, Digital Connect Check-In introduces a functionality of 'alternate search' when the first-choice criteria do not find any reservation. In such case the 'alternate criterions' are used.
Prerequisites
None
Limitations

Configuration
None
Supporting Seat Assignment for No Rec Passengers
Agents need a possibility to select the seat for Passengers who do not have their Virtual Coupon Record (VCR) by retrieving the seat map and selecting one of the seats.
Since VCR is needed to correctly calculate charges for the seat, Digital Connect Check-In introduces the possibility to bypass such requirement and return just a seat map with availability to assign the selected seat in such case.

None
Limitations
None
Configuration

false | Boolean |
Retrieving Seat Map for Passengers without VCR
When retrieving a seat map with chargeable seats the correct prices for Passengers need to be calculated. VCR, as one of the factors, determines the price providing the context of the journey. Unfortunately, Airport Agents must process Passengers without VCR very often. It might happen for numerous reasons e.g., when there is No Rec Passenger which means a Passenger with booking confirmation which cannot be found on the passenger's list.
To support such cases Digital Connect Check-In introduces retrieving seat map for such Passengers without any details about the charges (similar to IATCI/3PGH case).

Returning Passenger's Name Association ID
Digital Connect Check-In returns an information about the passenger's name association ID in the /dcci/passenger/details response.
This information is used by different systems and is required by Digital Connect Check-In customers when preparing the operations that use other Sabre services or matching Passengers from different systems.
