The Book functionality for our Direct Connect product is directly based on our original OTA_HotelResRQ/RS. The request message is almost identical from the classic model.

Purpose

  • Quote Room Stays retrieved from Direct Connect Search.
  • Commit/Book Room Stays from our Direct Connect portfolio.
  • Receive confirmation of the booking with relevant information of it.

Details and Structure

All the details regarding this message can be found at OTA_HotelResRQ. The Booking for Direct Connect products has to be done using the Booking Code, retrieved from the Search Response.

Booking Code

This code, once retrieved from Search Response and stored, needs to be used in the booking request as follows:
The system will then check if the code is correct, and use it to link the rate to the one retrieved at the search step.

Differences with classic Hotel Book

The structure of the message is exactly the same as OTA_HotelResRQ plus the Booking Code, but there are some features that are not available.

What’s not included

All other elements and their rules are equivalent to the traditional booking flow.
