Release Notes
Looking for the latest features and enhancements to Sabre APIs? You're in the right place.
Method/Endpoint: *
- The 18.09 update to the Corporate Travel Services introduces the `GET fareBrands` endpoint along with providing several updates and bug fixes.
- Note: An updated version 1.11.2 was release to PROD on 12 September 2018. This update corrected an issue with dates on the 31st of the month.
- The new fareBrands service returns the brand name and brand attributes for Air Connect flights as well as for traditional GDS flights with brands (i.e., "branded fares"). A `GET /fareBrands` request is sent using the `fareBrandId` obtained from either the flight shopping `GET /catalogs` response or the `GET /carts` response. If a flight does not have a fareBrandId this indicates brand attribute information is not available for that flight.
- Note: Refer to the **[Fare Brand Guide](doc:fare-brand-guide)** for more details.
- Warning! The brand attributes previously included in the `GET /fareRules` response for Air Connect flights are still present, and duplicated in the `GET /fareBrands` response. Once all customers have migrated to the new fareBrands service these brand attributes will be removed from the `GET /fareRules` response.
- Improved Error Handling. Better error information is returned in the following scenarios:
- * A new RESTRICTED_COUNTRY error is returned when submitting a `POST /catalogs` request for an unauthorized location.
- * Unhandled exceptions in the secondary (OBS) layer of Corporate Travel Services are now returned as INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR instead of DATA_EXPIRED.
- * A new error message is returned when a `POST /catalogs` request includes an airport code that includes numbers.
- General Improvements. Other updates have been made to improve various Corporate Travel Services:
- * Traveler data is no longer cached. This means updates to information from a traveler's profile is immediately available in the `GET /travelers` response, instead of only being accessible one-hour later. For example, after adding a new credit card for air bookings.
- * Passport data from the user's profile is now included in `GET /travelers`.
- * An issue has been addressed to correctly handle MasterCard payments on Air Connect bookings. :fa-check-square:
- * Fixed a problem where the billing address was mistakenly indicated as missing for site cards (BTA cards). :fa-check-square:
- * A defect has been corrected that prevented fare rules from being retrieved using the fareRulesId from a `GET /catalogs` response, following repricing with `GET /carts`.
- * The error information has been improved when trying to complete a booking with an incorrect payment card.
- Note: These marked changes were made available as patch updates to 18.08, prior to the full 18.09 release.
