📦 How to search and book?
🔍Step 1: Perform a search
At the top right, you can start begin typing using the office field (which is non-mandatory)
You can either type freight forwarder's company name or IATA CASS code (e.g., Schenker or 123456). It will automatically provide matching suggestions.
Using this field will provide you the full route with merged flights in the search result.
Then, you have to fill in:
Origin and destination
Cargo dimensions
Cargo type
Once the search icon turns purple, click it to initiate the search.
💡 The system uses predefined gateways and connection time rules to generate merged route options when applicable.
🔍Step 2: View route options
After the search, you’ll see two types of routing options:
✅ Option 1: OAL flights only
Shows available capacity for OAL flights only (e.g., LIS → JFK).
Ideal if the main airline manages or has already booked the first leg.
Booking is for the OAL segment only.
✅ Option 2: Merged route (Main Airline + OAL Airline)
Combines capacity from both airlines to offer a full route.
Example:
Main Airline: DXB → LIS
OAL Airline: LIS → JFK
The system automatically connects the two legs for a seamless routing and booking.
📄 Step 3: Booking process
💡 Based on your selected option, you will be redirected to the following page:
📦 For merged route flights:
Booking is made under the Main Airline's AWB.
API creates a booking that includes all route segments.
Example:
DXB → LIS (Main Airline)
LIS → JFK (OAL Airline)
📦 For OAL flights only:
Booking is also made using the Main Airline’s AWB.
API handles the reservation directly with the OAL airline.
✅ Once booking is successful, a confirmation will be returned.
