22.05 Release Notes

New Features:

API

(Important to internal and external development teams)

RESTv1 (See the API documentation for further details.):

  • The companies/accountTransactions endpoint has been enhanced to allow payments using methods other than credit cards. It has also been enhanced to allow negative deposits to deduct from the available balance.

DCS

  • Gate passes can now be generated to allow non-travellers to go through security. If desired, they can be vetted by appropriate airline passenger screening program. When enabled, gate passes can be accessed using the CTRL + SHIFT key combination (replaces "A - Charges").
  • There have been several changes made to the check-in screen to improve clarity and performance. They include:
    • Reprint boarding pass no longer requires the Ctrl+Shift key combination. Once a boarding pass is printed, the "G - Boarding Pass" button text is changed to "G - Reprint Pass"
    • When selecting a No Show passenger in the grid, the button now reads "K - Reconfirm" rather than "K -Not Checked In". 
    • A bug has been fixed to ensure that if you make and save departure requirement changes, non-CUTE scans will work properly immediately after.
    • You can quickly filter the Passenger list by reservation. Just select a passenger on the list and click a button to filter the grid to all passengers for that reservation.
    • Passengers whose reservations were cancelled due to hold time expiry will not longer be included in the check-in grids or related functions.
  • The automatic email sent to passengers when they are set to No Show can now have a custom subject.

GDS

(Important to GDS and DCS teams)

  • DEI 504 for outbound SSM is supported for all countries.  It appears on manual and automatic outbound SSM for airports configured to send APIS information to Secure Flight.
  • All service types for Inbound SSM are now processed.  Previously, only Scheduled flights were supported.

RES

(Important to Commercial teams)

  • We now allow partial refunds while there are flown segments. The HOT files will display the partially refunded amounts in addition to the rest of the charges and fares paid for.
  • When selecting airports in the Fare Setup screen, there is now a "Look Up" button to initiate the search for that city pair. Other improvements were done that improve the performances of the screen significantly.
  • The User Profile Loyalty Points Det report has been updated to include more data: City Pair, Ticket Number, Coupon, Coupon Status and Ticketing Agency.
  • The Travel Agency portal has been enhanced to show all classes of services in a single flight search (rather than having to pick between Economy and Business). This requires customization to your site, so please speak with your Account Executive if this is of interest.
  • Agents can now cancel no-showed segments from the Travel Agency portal.
