Hold GDS

This method is used to create a booking hold for Non-LCC airlines. Every Non LCC airline must be placed on Hold first before ticketing. It will not work for LCC airline because LCC airline is ticketed directly. Price verification is done before creating a booking and PNR No. is returned in case of a successful booking. In case of Price change or Time change, you will get new fare and/or new time in Book response with IsPriceChanged node and/or IsTimeChanged node set as 'true'.


The price comparison is to be made at the client’s end, and Book request needs to be sent again with the updated fare and/ or updated time. Passenger’s Date of Birth and Passport details are optional in book request wherever applicable. However, if not provided in book request then the same needs to be provided in Ticket request.

If the operator does not accept GST then it will not be added
