Fare Rules in Websky

Data of fare rules can be used in Websky system when setting a time limit - maximum time and date of ticket purchase.

Timelimit can be assigned two ways:

1. Automatic time limit (using data from the airline's Timelimit Rules);
2. Using the given fare rules (category 5), i.e. according to the estimates.

Right after booking, the time limit is automatically set in accordance with the data in the "Airline Time-Limit Rules". If there is an attribute of time limit set for an airline by estimate (category 5, according to fare rules), then, if the ticket is not to be issued right away, then, to complete a PNR request, you need to reset the timelimit in acordance with the fare rule data. Otherwise the system will respond that you needto set timelimit by estimate (timelimit request).
