Retailing Capabilities Verification Guidance

Personalization involves pricing offers and/or including services depending on additional attributes of a customer, such as:

• Passenger Types other than the traditional Adult/Child/Infant

• Holding a Frequent Flyer account the airline or alliance partners

• A specific tier level of their Frequent Flyer program

• Other personal attributes of a customer, such as birthdays, number of previous flight purchases, etc.

• Attributes of organization based on commercial agreement (such as corporate IDs)

Airline

Demonstrate ability to construct priced offers and/or different bundles of products based on parameters other than the standard “ADT/CHD/INF” Passenger Types or Frequent Flyer status. Submit two shopping responses, one for an anonymous ADT traveler and one with personalized pricing and/or additional services, both for the same itinerary.

Note: If your shopping requests are based on existing Orders, please also submit OrderViewRS traces to include the attributes of the passengers on which the personalization is based on.

Seller

Demonstrate ability to pass non-standard PTCs or Loyalty Program details in shopping queries:

• Different PTCs (e.g. /IATA_AirShoppingRQ/Request/Paxs/Pax/PTC)

• Frequent Flyer program (e.g. /IATA_AirShoppingRQ/Request/Paxs/Pax/LoyaltyProgramAccount/LoyaltyProgram/ProgramCode)

NOTE: For all versions prior to that listed above (generally the most recent), the verification will be based on the guidance available for that version. In the case that no guidance is available, verification will be at IATA’s discretion.
