Exchange Shopping

2.5.0
Air
Ticketing
SOAP API
Travel Agency
  • Added capability to use a different target city (PCC) during exchange shopping transaction.
  • Added capability to exempt taxes and fees and include applicable passenger facility charges (PFCs) during exchange shopping transactions.
  • Added capability to override taxes for newly shopped exchange options. This lets you override taxes by tax code and tax amount.
  • Added capability to exempt specific tax or taxes for newly shopped exchange options.
  • Added capability to shop for new exchange options filed with up to four corporate IDs. Previously only one ID was accepted by the API.
  • Added capability to shop for new exchange options filed with up to four account codes. Previously only one account code was accepted by the API.
  • Added capability to shop for new exchange options filed with a combination of corporate IDs and account codes, up to four. Previously no combination was accepted by the API.
  • (11/17/2022) Added ExchangeShoppingRS/Solution/Fare/ReservationSegmentDetails/PassengerBookingDetails/@brandName. This will be returned in case of mixed brands and different brand names. Previously this information was not returned in the service response. This solves ASTSP-437 Jira
  • (04/04/2023) - Fixed an intermittent issue where the API would return "UNABLE TO MATCH FARES" error. From now on, if the service encounters such message from internal provider, it will attempt to remove the last character from agency IATA numbers and retry shopping request. This addresses the request described under [ASTSP-451].
  • (05/30/2023) Added support for capabilities of keeping same cabin (.../TravelPreferences/@keepSameCabinEnabled) and disabling so-called jump cabin logic (.../TravelPreferences/@jumpCabinLogicDisabled). Also, added yet another attribute that expand cabin related features .../TravelPreferences/@avoidCabinDowngradeMode. This one guarantees that lower cabin class will not be applied within single shopping option depending on the chosen mode.
  • (07/15/2023) Introduced Cat 16 exchange shopping via PriceGuarantee mode under /ExchangeShoppingRQ/TravelPreferences/PriceRequestInformation/TPA_Extensions/NonVerifiedSolutions/@priceGuarantee with two modes: "Never" - New Category 16 logic, "Always" (default) - Current category 31 logic. For “Never” options mode it is returned /ExchangeShoppingRS/Solution/Fare/@priceGuaranteed indicator, and it is set as "false".
  • (11/14/2023) Introduced new capability to shop for exchanges for tickets issued in other GDS. This enhancement enables existing and future API users to improve self-service and automation level by enabling the capability to shop for exchanges of tickets that were originally issued in other systems and do not reside in the Sabre database.
  • (11/14/2023) Introduced new capability to shop for Multiple Branded Fares for a single passenger to improve upsell opportunities and provide flexibility to get exchange options with same preferences from original bookings or upgrade to the next available brand. The new capability will support ability to set brand parity modes and apply brand filter preferences.
  • (02/13/2024) Extended the capability to shop for Multiple Branded Fares for multiple passengers. Solutions can now return multiple Fares, each with either single or mixed brands. Moreover, the API can return a Fare@requireSplitPNR indicator, signifying that separate passengers have a different booking code assigned to their specific solutions. This enhancement is combined with multiple fixes for other capabilities exposed by the API.
  • (02/27/2024) Users invoking attributes, that require BrandedFareIndicators/@multipleBrandedFares or @singleBrandedFare will now be presented with well-defined errors, stating that these can only be used when branded fares are enabled. A validation was introduced for BrandedFareIndicators/@keepOriginalBrand, it can only be used when at least one leg is not being shopped for exchange.
  • (24/04/2024) We are updating the /ExchangeShoppingRQ/TravelPreferences/PriceRequestInformation/@currencyOverride functionality. From now on, the requested currency code will be utilized in exchange calculations. Additionally, this currency code will also be returned under /ExchangeShoppingRS/Solution/Fare/PassengerPriceInformation and TotalPriceDifference. This change contrasts with the current behavior, which involves returning the Point of Sale currency based on the Agency’s location.
