Introduction
The Party section of the messages can vary depending on the following scenarios:
The Seller/Sender (Travel Agent) is connected directly to Iberia’s NDC API
The Seller/Sender is using an Aggregator who is connected to Iberia’s NDC API
There is a Corporate involved which can occur in both scenarios one and two
The IATA Delegation functionality is being used, which can only be done with scenarios two and three
In the case whereby the Seller is connected directly to Iberia the last element with the AggregatorID is simply omitted from the message.
If one or more Aggregators are involved they are simply included in the Participant section.
When a Corporate is involved, and is identified as the Sender, then the Travel Agency becomes a participant, with or without an Aggregator participant depending on whether an Aggregator is involved.
