Introduction
The OrderChange-Passenger Servicing Webservice provides Travel Management Companies (TMC), Online Travel Agents (OTA) and Service Providers the ability to:
- Add Frequent Flyer information
- Add/update APIS details

- Correct name details (first name, surname or title) as per NDC name correction policy - please refer to the end of the section for more information.
Interface Design
-
Service allows to perform one passenger servicing per transaction.
This means to say that we can only add loyalty details for one or more passengers, or add APIS details for one or more passengers, or add contact details for one or more passengers, or correct name details for one or more passengers in one single transaction. We cannot mix and match means we cannot add loyalty details and also add APIS details in the same transaction
- Service does not allow cancel request to be combined with add/update request.
- For name correction, if booking has duplicate passenger names, then pass correct PassengerID in the request to identify passenger uniquely.
- For scenarios other than name correction, if booking has duplicate passenger names, then pass details for all duplicate passengers in the request for adding/updating the details otherwise the system will add/update the details to the first duplicate passengers which are matched in the booking.
This service allows changes to be made to an existing order (booking). This service can only be used on existing bookings and may only be accessed by the agent who created the booking. If the agent went through a 3rd party provider to create the initial booking (GDS or service provider), it is also mandatory to go through this same provider in order to access the booking. If the above conditions are not met, the service will return an error and prevent access.
