This is where you can apply filters and preferences to be more specific in your shopping/reshopping requests. As of today you can shop for:

  • Private Leisure Fare Products

  • Spanish Resident and Large Family Discounts

  • Filter only direct flights, or limit the number of stops enroute.

  • Specify the preferred Cabin

  • Pricing Option - This will return all the available flight combinations with the cheapest available fare. The results of this can be used to display a scheduled driven request. For example you could filter all outbound flights to only display those that arrive before a certain time, and also filter all the return flights to only display those that depart after a certain. This is useful for business travelers who need to arrive in time for a meeting and leave one the meeting has finished. An OfferPrice can subsequently be done for the preferred flights, with an upsell option, to then see all the fares available on the said flights.
