Journey Types
Distribusion allows you to sell tickets for single and return journeys.
Types
There are three distinct journey types available. These types are displayed under the field journey_type in the response from the /connections/find endpoint.
Single | single | Trip can be booked only one-way. |
Open return | open_return | Trip can be booked for outbound & inbound legs; whereby the inbound leg is not bound to a specific date of travel but rather to a time interval (e.g. 3 months). |
Fixed return | fixed_return | Trip can be booked for outbound & inbound legs; whereby both legs are bound to specific travel dates. |
Journey types are defined per fare class. Please find additional details in our Fare Classes guide.
Virtual Returns
Even if a carrier does not support any explicit return journey types, Distribusion still allows return bookings to be placed within one user flow and request. Simply use a single journey fare class and specify a return date in the relevant API requests.
Fare Classes for Return Trips
When booking a return trip both the outbound and inbound segment must be set with the same fare class. At the moment it is not possible to choose different fares for each segment.
