Some services are not accepted by our code-share partners, and therefore may be rejected.

Note: The inclusion of SSRs can only be done in the initial creation of the Order and not added later in a Servicing flow.

The following are the SSRs that can be requested through our NDC channel.

Booking Special Services

The Special Services can be booked and held in unpaid (on hold) Orders to be paid with the flights in the servicing flow.

The bellow file contains a full end to end flow example.

name	Special Services Onhold.zip

SSR Code Table

SSR Code	Purpose
BLND	Blind Passenger
DEAF	Deaf Passenger
DPNA	Disabled Passenger, with intellectual or developmental disability needing assistance (specify details)
WCHR	Wheelchair for passengers who can ascend/descend steps, and are able to make own way to/from cabin seat, but require wheelchair for distances.
WCHS	Passenger cannot ascend/descend steps, but is able to make own way to/from cabin seat; requires wheelchair for distances and must be carried up/down steps.

The code “DISA” can be included in the request, and this will return all the Special Services for disabilities that we offer in the response.

ServiceListRQ Message

The applicable SSR Codes, that you can include as and when required, are taken from the table above.

To request an SSR it should be included in the ServiceListRQ message as a Qualifier:

language

Code Block

xml	<Qualifier> <SpecialNeedQualifiers> <Code>BLND</Code> </SpecialNeedQualifiers> </Qualifier>

Note: Formerly, the only way to request SSRs was through OfferPriceRQ message, which is still possible to maintain backward compatibility. However, we recommend that from now on the ServiceList is used.

It should be noted that if SSRs are requested in both the OfferPriceRQ and the ServiceListRQ, then an error will be returned (please, see an example of this scenario in our Special Services Error Messages page).

ServiceListRS Message

ALaCarteOfferItem

The Special Services are returned in the ServiceListRS as ALaCarteOfferItems, for the passengers and flight segments for which they can be requested. This does not mean that the service is necessarily available, and is subject to confirmation at time of booking.

The Special Services can be booked and held in unpaid (on hold) Orders to be paid with the flights in the servicing flow.
