How does the element Price and Travel Time work along with indicator for Long Connection enabled?

If you place weight preference on short travel time and have Long connection enabled, this means you prefer the shortest connections even through it is more expensive, but you will also receive long connection options. The system will try to find the shortest possible connection, but if there is a less expensive long connection, this will also be returned.

 

What is the impact of the new request parameters with rules settings?

Request parameters will have priority; rule overrides will apply.

 

How does the new parameter Price and Travel impact the existing Priorities (Price, Direct Flight, Time, Vendor)? Does it complement or override?
