Can my customers search for flights on flexible dates if they have not chosen an exact day?

Yes, flexible date flight searches can be offered when the connected flight supplier supports them. This helps customers who are willing to travel on a nearby day and want to compare the available options before choosing their journey.

The results may show flights for alternative dates around the customer's preferred travel day. The exact date range, airlines and fares shown depend on the supplier and the type of flight content available through the flight booking API. Some suppliers only accept a search for one exact departure and return date.

Flexible date results should be treated as a guide rather than a guaranteed offer. Flight availability and fares can change when the customer selects a date and continues to the final booking steps. The chosen flight must be checked again before payment and ticket issue, especially when the original search was made earlier.

Ask glideFares whether your connected flight suppliers support flexible date searches, and check how those results will appear on your booking portal before offering this option to customers.
