Yes, the flight booking API searches across multiple airlines in a single search, so you get all the options available at once rather than having to check each carrier individually. This is one of the main benefits of using an API instead of visiting airline websites one by one. When your customer tells you their travel dates and route, you send one search request and the API returns flights from all the airlines we work with, sorted by price, time, or whatever matters most to your customer.

The airlines included in your search results depend on which suppliers we have connected to our platform. Not every airline in the world is available through every API, so the options you see are limited to our partner network. You will see all the choices we have available for that route and date, but if a customer specifically wants to fly with an airline we do not yet work with, you would need to book that separately outside the API.

When you run a search, you get back the full details you need to help your customer choose, including the price, the departure and arrival times, how long the journey takes, and whether there are any stops. From there, your customer can pick the flight they want, and you move forward to booking. The whole process keeps everything in one place instead of hopping between different airline websites.

Try running a test search through the API with a common route to see how many options come back and whether they match what you would expect to find. If you notice that a particular airline your customers often want is missing, let us know so we can look into adding them to our connections.
