Sabre: How to pass 2 OTA_AirPriceRQ in EnhancedAirBookRQ? - sabre

Question

How can I pass 2 OTA_AirPriceRQ in 1 EnhancedAirBookRQ for booking RoundTrip in Sabre?
Consider the below example:
<EnhancedAirBookRQ>
<OTA_AirBookRQ>
...
<FlightSegment>
<!-- Segment 1 Details -->
<FlightSegment/>
<FlightSegment>
<!-- Segment 2 Details -->
<FlightSegment/>
<OTA_AirPriceRQ>
<PriceRequestInformation>
<OptionalQualifiers>
<PricingQualifiers CurrencyCode='INR'>
<PassengerType Code='ADT' Force='true' Quantity='1'/>
</PricingQualifiers>
</OptionalQualifiers>
</PriceRequestInformation>
</OTA_AirPriceRQ>
<PostProcessing IgnoreAfter="false">
<RedisplayReservation/>
</PostProcessing>
<EnhancedAirBookRQ>
So from above code,I wanted to pass another OTA_AirPriceRQ for Segment 2, to achieve RoundTrip.
But I get error when I repeat OTA_AirPriceRQ Tag.

Answer 1

Try with SegmentSelect element under PriceRequestInformation/OptionalQualifiers/PricingQualifiers/ItineraryOptions.
By default, all segments will be priced the same way, so unless you want to do something special for particular segment/s, you don't need to add extra qualifiers.

Answer 2

OTA_AirPriceRQ is used to get pricing information (price breakdown) for a specific travel, however travel details (origin, destination, classes, flight numbers, etc) you have to provide in OTA_AirBookRQ. It's a part of a EnhancedAirBookRQ transaction you are using (but should be defined prior to OTA_AirPriceRQ in request xml)
To sum it up - when you provide in OTA_AirBookRQ information about outbound and inbound flight, then 1 OTA_AirPriceRQ returns you full pricing information (no seperate AirPriceRQ is required)
