Questions developers ask (4)

What do I send to reprice for a domestic return?: Two items: one option and one fare from group [0] (onward) and one from group [1] (return). An international return has one group [0, 1] and one item.
Why does commission not appear on my fares?: Zero amounts are left out. commission appears only when a commission rule applies to your account; net_fare is then total_fare less it.
How long can I use an option_id and price_id?: Until valid_till of the search reply. After it, search again.
What does varies_by_segment true mean?: A later flight of the fare differs from the first in cabin, meal, booking class, fare basis or baggage. Send detail=segment to see every flight.
