The Update Itinerary (UpdateReservationRQ) API is used to allow airlines and agencies to update Logical Records (LREC) in a particular PNR using name and segment associations.

UpdateReservationRQ
Important! To support Sabre technology modernization efforts, we are changing the Sabre agency reservation logic and workflows for American Airlines (AA), which will result in AA and Sabre agencies no longer sharing a single reservation (PNR). Click here to view the documentation on potential impacts to existing workflows.

Once a PNR has been created on the Sabre Host system, use this API to update Logical Records (LREC) for a particular PNR using name and segment associations.

In addition, Update Itinerary can be used to sell or cancel ancillaries, also known as Air Extras or Optional Services.
