Maximum Price

If the minimum price is specified in a request, only results with this price or below will be returned.

Meal Basis

The Meal Basis describes the board or different dining options offered with a particular room in a property booking. Each Meal Basis has a unique Meal Basis Id that is allocated to it when the meal bases are first set up in the system.

Example

Meal Basis ID

The Meal Basis ID is a unique ID for each of the Meal Basis. See Meal Basis for more details.

Minimum Price

If the minimum price is specified in a request, only results with this price or higher will be returned.

MinStarRating

This is the minimum star rating of property that you would like returned in the search results. Results will only include properties that have this star rating or higher.

Multi-Carrier Flights

Multi-Carrier flights create one way searches and pair together results. Instead of searching Multicom (or any other supplier) for a return flight, we start two one-way searches. We then combine together the results. This allows the possibility of booking easyJet outbound and Ryanair inbound for example. 

A Multi-Carrier flight is made up of two flight bookings and changes are required to the standard flight booking journey in order to enable these flights.  Using these flights will require assistance from Intuitive to configure your system. 

Changes to flight booking journey:

Multi-Carrierflights must be requested in the flight search request using the MultiCarrier Boolean field. Any Multi-Carrier flights returned will contain a MultiCarrierDetails section in addition to the standard fields. The total price includes both the outbound and return flights. 

At prebook two flight prebook requests must sent together using the BasketPreBook request. The token for one must be the standard flight booking token from search and the FlightPreBook request must be flagged as MultiCarrierOutbound. The token for the other flight prebook request must be taken from the MultiCarrierDetails section of the same search result and marked as MultiCarrierReturn. For the rest of the booking journey the two components are separate (but must be prebooked and booked in the same request) and must be marked with the correct MultiCarrierOutbound or MultiCarrierReturn Boolean.
