Ancillaries Errors and Warnings

This page contains examples of the Errors and Warnings that can be returned by our API when purchasing Ancillaries.

The texts are returned in Spanish or English, which is the default language. Localization of the text can be undertaken by the Seller/Aggregator based on the Short-text code.

Errors and Warnings will always be shown in the applicable response message (ServiceListRS, SeatAvailabilityRS).

 

Given the inclusion of new Ancillaries in the ServiceList, (available in the Pre-Sale and on hold flow), the handling of errors and warnings has undergone changes in the following scenarios:

  • If Offers are returned for only some of the requested Services, warnings also will be included for those Services which are not available.

  • If all of the requested Services fail, an Error will be returned for each failed Service.

In the event of several Warnings referencing the same Ancillary/Service, they will be grouped together.
