Enhancements

    • Seat assignments are now matched to the correct traveler.
    • Agents can more easily see who is sitting where when reviewing a booking.

Bug Fixes

  • Booking refresh loop resolved
    • Fixed an issue where some bookings could get stuck in a repeated refresh loop.
    • This also reduces the risk of uncontrolled emails being triggered by repeated refresh behavior.
  • Cancellations now continue when void is unavailable
    • Enhanced Cancel now continues even if a Sabre void fails after the void window has passed.
    • This reduces stuck cancellation scenarios.
  • Ticket totals now better reflect the amount paid
    • Fixed an issue where a fare change between final price check and ticketing could cause the saved booking total to differ from the customer payment.
  • Financial reporting is more resilient
    • Fixed a reporting failure caused by a currency mismatch on a small number of bookings.
    • Internal financial reports should now be less likely to fail on these edge cases.
  • NDC bookings handle missing ticket payment details more safely
    • NDC bookings with missing recorded ticket payment information are now handled more gracefully.

What’s Next

The biggest in-progress Air improvement is adding a return search call to retrieve more availability options for round-trip itineraries.
