Clarification on ActionStatus in AirCreateReservationReq

[zhanfoo13]

Hi, i am trying to create the request body of the AirCreateReservation. The following parameter

Question: When set TTL (in AirCreate), we will set date time. Is it OK to set current date/time? Or better with 1 or 2 minutes later? Will it be treated as expired if we put current date/time? This is because, Additional system-generated statuses that cannot be modified indicate that TLCXL, where PNR is canceled by TTL. Indicates that the TTL time expired for the PNR, and the system automatically canceled the air segments (AirSegment). What specifically is TicketDate referring to and what are suggested values?

Hi zhanfoo13,

TicketDate means , the user must ticket the booking within that time, otherwise the booking will be cancelled and released from hold. To confirm the booking and get the E-ticket number you have to execute the AirTicketingReq within the time frame of ticketing date.

Example, The Ticket Date is Current Date & Time + 24 hours. This means the user has to complete the ticketing within 24 hours otherwise, the booking will be released.

Having said that, it is completely should be based on your requirement. You can add 2 minutes or 2 days to the current date and time and it should be still fine. Thanks.

Thanks for this!! Is there a difference between setting ActionStatus to TAW or TTL? Noticed in the documentation that there is no difference and both tickets wont be automatically issued. However, noticed that we hit an error everytime we set it to TTL.

Based on the documentation "...Typically, the 'TTL' value is preferred so that the PNR will be canceled automatically if there is a problem or if it is never ticketed...", when will the PNR auto cancel?

Hi zhanfoo13,

The PNR will be auto-cancelled after the time & Date defined in the TicketDate attribute is passed, Until then the Booking will stay active on hold. The only major difference between TAW and TTL is that with TAW it will be placed in a ticketing queue. If you are facing some issue with TTL , please share the request and response xml. Thanks.
