Usage

Summary

The Reprint Boarding Pass (ACS_ReprintBPRQ) API is used to reprint a boarding pass for passengers that are already checked-in.

The minimum information required includes the airline code, flight number, boarding station, along with the seat number or passenger last name, and passenger ID.

Notes:

Specifying a departure date in the request is optional. However, if a date is not provided, the API defaults to the current date of the city assigned in the EPR.

The API always re-issues the boarding pass only for the current flight segment, irrespective of number of downline segments

If any required parameters are missing, the API returns an Application Error message (Invalid content was found starting with element 'DepartureDate'. One of '{Flight}' is expected.)

For international flights, the system verifies the passenger’s travel document data, including the infant travel document (when traveling with an infant), and the passenger’s contact information. If either requirement is not met, an error message is returned.

A printer must be assigned before using this request. If a printer is not assigned, the response returns the !ASSIGN BOARDING PASS PRINTER error message. If the printing option is not provided, the response will not return the boarding pass information. See the Boarding Pass Printing Options section below.

Reprint by Seat Number

The minimum information required includes the airline code, flight number, and boarding station (including the seat number).

Note: You can reprint up to a maximum of 10 seat numbers per request; however, in the event the API is unable to reprint all requested seats, it will return the !INCORRECT SEAT NUMBER FOR EDIT error. No further action is needed when this happens.

Example:

Reprint multiple boarding passes:

Reprint by Passenger Name

The minimum information required includes the airline code, flight number, and boarding station (including the seat number), the passenger's last name, and the passenger's ID.

Boarding Pass Printing Options

The response returns boarding pass information in a variety of ways depending on the printing option specified in the request.

The following printing options specified in the request identify the format of the documents returned in the response:
