Recommended algorithm
Booking
Fare search
Use request SIG_AirShopRQ to search few best variants flight+price for desired trip - city pairs and departure dates are mandatory. The service will return SIG_AirShopRS sructure with list of best recommendations. Each recommendation has price and set of available flights for every segment of itinerary. The reply will contain SessionID which has to be included in all subsequent requests.
Fare selection (optional)
You can choose the recommendation using request SIG_AirShopRQ with subrequest SelectedShopOption - it will be stored within session, thus you'll be able to use it later.(we work on it)
Create PNR
Use subrequest Add of request SIG_AirBookRQ to add passengers information, passenger contact information, remarks and comments. If Step 2 was skipped the subrequest SelectedShopOption with the itinerary choice has to be included on this stage. The result of this step will be creation of PNR(Passenger Name Record of Booking File) with booked flights and fare quote in case of success, or error message. The BookingReference returned is unique ID for created PNR.(not implemented yet)
When PNR is created you can read it at any moment either within the same session or in sessionless request using received BookingReference in subrequest BookingIdentity
Ticketing
Can be done at once - use subrequests BookingIdentity, Issue and Display of request SIG_AirBookRQ to issue tickets and display itinerary receipts.(not implemented yet)
Also possible to split the ticketing (as well as all other one-step tasks) on 2 or 3 steps (the same subrequest should be used) - in this case the SessionID returned by the 1st reply has to be used in subsequent requests.
Cancellation
Use subrequests BookingIdentity and Cancel of request SIG_AirBookRQ to void tickets (within the issue day) and cancel segments.(not implemented yet)
