Functional Description - Release 2023.07

Iberia offers two methods of the OfferPrice API:

  • Get Fare - for when you have used our AirShoppingRQ/RS API and have obtained an OfferID from our Offer Management System

  • Get Direct Fare - when you have used a third party Shopping engine and know the specific flights you require.

OfferPrice returns a detailed Priced Availability quote for specific Flights, and includes the breakdown of fare and taxes together with more detailed product information, such as conditions for payment/cancellation/change and baggage allowance.

Time Limits - The offers include two time limits

  • Offer Expiration - This is the time by which the offer has expired and is no longer in our Offer Management System. Any OrderCreateRQ Message sent after this time will fail.

  • Payment For offers that have instant purchase rules and less than four hours till departure, no PaymentTimeLimitDateTime value will be returned and full payment must be included in the OrderCreateRQ message. For offers that have instant purchase rules and more than four hours to departure flight, a PaymentTimeLimitDateTime will be returned giving a grace period of two hours to complete the payment process. For all other offers the PaymentTimeLimitDateTime value will reflect the rules of the fare/product.

Frequent Flyer information for any airline can be passed in this message, however only Iberia Plus will be validated if and when the members Iberia Plus number and exact matching name are included. If validated correctly, any applicable tier benefits will be applied. If validation fails, the shopping flow will continue and a warning will be included in the response.

NEW In the OfferPrice response it possible to obtain Upsell offers higher than the requested Offer, as long as in the AirShopping it is requested the cheapest priced availability offer for origin and destination, dates, pax types, cabin and stops (response including Offer combining the cheapest available Fare Families). Throughout the Upselling process it is also possible to combine different Fare Families since it will not imply any schema changes.

Examples of messages with complete flows can be downloaded from here.
