  • Why we are getting same SSR ID for different seat? Query :

    The problem is that from OrderReshopRS we are getting same seat information for all offerItemID. As you see SSR503 mapped to SSR503, but other seat SSRs also mapped to SSR.503

    Answer :

     ServiceDefinitionRef field gives you the refs for the corresponding ServiceDefinition inside ServiceDefinitionList.

    Since all the seats are of same SSR type( STRA ) , ServiceDefinitionRef would be the same as we don’t duplicate servicedefinition for same SSR in OfferPriceRS & OrderReshopRS.

    <ns2:ServiceDefinition ServiceDefinitionID="V1_SSR.503" Owner="XQ"> <ns2:Name>Standard Seat A</ns2:Name> <ns2:Encoding> <ns2:RFIC>I</ns2:RFIC> <ns2:Code>STRA</ns2:Code> <ns2:SubCode>I99</ns2:SubCode> </ns2:Encoding> <ns2:Descriptions> <ns2:Description> <ns2:Text>Standard Seat A</ns2:Text> </ns2:Description> </ns2:Descriptions> </ns2:ServiceDefinition>

    They can differentiate seats by using different OffertemID .

  • How will we know baggage price for extra baggage ? We can use BaggageCharges service to retrieve price for a set of bags defined in the system, which are above the free baggage allowance limit.

  • How to add baggage of same weight to connection segment? In case of connection , we are expecting all segments of connection to be given in OrderItem#OfferItemType#OfferItemType#BaggageItem@refs  field if the baggage weight is same.

    For example, if  we have 2 passenger and  connection with 2 segments ,so we will have to give both segments as shown below for specific passenger .

    <ns:OrderItem> <ns:OfferItemID>V1_OFRITM_12345678</ns:OfferItemID> <ns:OfferItemType> <ns:BaggageItem refs = "V1_PAX.985752783 V1_SEG.500 V1_SEG.501 V1_SSR.504"> <ns:BagDetails> <ns:BagDetail> <ns:ValidatingCarrier>XQ</ns:ValidatingCarrier> <ns:CheckedBags> <ns:CheckedBag> <ns:WeightAllowance> <ns:MaximumWeight> <ns:Value>10</ns:Value> <ns:UOM>K</ns:UOM> </ns:MaximumWeight> </ns:WeightAllowance> </ns:CheckedBag> </ns:CheckedBags> </ns:BagDetail> </ns:BagDetails> </ns:BaggageItem> </ns:OfferItemType> </ns:OrderItem>
