Get Direct Fare

This is used when you have used a third party Shopping (Availability Pricing) engine and already know the specific flights you require. As a result, we return various Offers with different Fare Products.

In some markets (Only for Point of Sale Argentina and Chile today), you can choose between two currencies. In Argentina: ARS or USD. In Chile: CLP or USD.

USD currency is only available in cash and voucher payments. If you try to pay by credit card, an error will appear: “Invalid currency”.

The OverrideCurrency only works in AirShoppingRQ and OfferPriceRQ-Direct on initial Order, not in servicing flow.

If you use OverrideCurrency, the CurrencyMetadata will always be ignored.

 

There are these options in the OverrideCurrency attribute:

If you choose another currency instead of ARS, CLP or USD, an error will appear: “Invalid currency”.

If you leave the OverrideCurrency attribute empty, the currency will be the default market currency.
