FindLowFares is a competitive fare search product returning priced availability, designed to deliver the best content from multiple sources, airlines and fare types, dependent on customer needs. Customers can navigate through large volumes of itinerary options by sorting and filtering. (Any service fees are not included in the prices in the FindLowFares response. These will be added in the SelectAndQuoteFlights service.)
FindUpsellFares is based on upselling the airline branded fare products, and therefore what upsell options come in the response is dependent on what the airlines want to offer as an upsell, ie this service will not always give you the next cabin(s) up and may offer upsells within the same cabin instead. The response will only include flight sectors that have been upsold and will need to be linked with your FindLowFares response to build the full itinerary. (To guarantee a price in the next cabin up, an additional FindLowFares request should be called, including the cabin required.)
We give you the option of retrieving an up to date picture of your booking as a whole or select specific parts of the booking that you want to retrieve, eg costs, passenger names or flights. This can be used to pull bookings into your back/mid office in the first instance, or following changes to a booking at a later date.
Find further information on a specific flight on a specific date, such as terminal information and aircraft type (this must be requested per flight sector.)
Your customers will be able to price any itinerary (including all service fees) previously returned in a FindLowFares response. No booking is held at this stage.
