Room Combination Validation

In the GetHotelRoom response two types of Room combinations are provided fixed and open. Below is the explanation and eg.

"Room Combination" as "Open Combination”: In open Combination, if you have passed the request for 2 rooms then you will get two arrays of "Room Index". For eg. In "Room Combination" array you have received 2 arrays one is [1,2,3] and second is [4,5,6]. Then you can pass "RoomIndex" for both rooms in "BlockRoom" request as [1,4] or [1,5] or [1,6] or [2,4] or [2,5] or [2,6] or [3,4] or [3,5] or[3,6] that is first room index should be picked from first array(any room) and second room index should be picked from the second array(any room).

"Room Combination" as "Fixed Combination": In fixed Combination if you have passed request for 2 rooms then you will receive 2 arrays of "Room Index" in "Room Combination" array like [1,2] and [3,4] then you can pass "RoomIndex" for both rooms in "BlockRoom" request as [1,2] or [3,4] that is you need to select room index for both rooms from single array only.

Package Fare Validation

Please consider below points for clarification:

In Block Response: 

Two nodes will be provided "IsPackageDetailsMandatory": true and "IsPackageFare": true. If "IsPackageDetailsMandatory" is true then "IsPackageFare" will always be received true. But if "IsPackageFare" is true then "IsPackageDetailsMandatory" can be true or false.

In Book Request:

In case you receive "IsPackageFare": true in Block response then you need to pass same in Book Request. Additionally if you get IsPackageDetailsMandatory": true in Block Response then following details need to be passed in Book request.

"ArrivalTransport":
{
"ArrivalTransportType": 0, (Flight = 0, surface = 1)
"TransportInfoId": "Ab 777",
"Time": "2019-05-21T18:18:00"
},

The above transport details are not static, it should be pass according to the client and the specific booking.

For Example:
If the client is reaching the hotel by flight then pass "ArrivalTransportType": 0, in "TransportInfoId" pass the flight number and in "Time" pass the time of the flight & vice versa for the surface details.
