Pricing seats leverages a similar structure to that of A-La-Carte OfferItems from other messages, such as AirShoppingRS or ServiceListRS. Price points are defined as A-La-Carte OfferItems - these can then be referenced by one or more seats listed in the seat map (the seats reference the OfferItems and not the other way around).

Airlines

Construct A-La-Carte OfferItems to hold price points for specific eligible passengers:

• /IATA_SeatAvailabilityRS/Response/ALaCarteOffer/ALaCarteOfferItem

Make use of reference to OfferItems from within the instance of a seat:

• /IATA_SeatAvailabilityRS/Response/SeatMap/CabinCompartment/SeatRow/Seat/OfferItemRefID
