Can the flight booking API show connection times and terminal changes before my customer books?

Yes, the flight booking API can show connection times and available terminal details before your customer books. Each part of the journey can include its scheduled arrival time, departure time, airport and terminal, allowing the booking portal to calculate how long the customer has between flights.

The portal can also highlight when connecting flights use different terminals or different airports in the same city. This helps the traveller understand whether a connection may involve a long walk, a shuttle journey, another form of transport or extra time for security checks. Clear connection information can make it easier for your staff and customers to compare suitable journeys.

The amount of detail depends on what the airline or flight supplier sends through the API. Terminal information may be missing for some flights, and a terminal can change after the booking is made. The connection time shown is based on the published schedule and does not guarantee that a traveller will make the next flight if the earlier flight is delayed.

Before offering this information to customers, ask glideFares to check which connection and terminal details are available from your chosen flight suppliers and how missing or changed information will appear on your portal.
