International fares

You can identify these fares by the globe icon:

Our international fares offer you obvious advantages due to significantly better availability, more attractive prices and exclusive local fares from other countries.

Please note: Our international fares can only be found on Cockpit, not in your own GDS. 

Private Fares

So-called "Private Fares" (due to a private contract with the airline) are highlighted in Cockpit by a lock in the upper right corner of the fare type.

This applies to all possible fares. Here an example:

The tariff is exclusive and subject to possible additional ticket fees. These fares are not available in the GDS.

Therefore, as a small tip: Optimize your profit by adjusting the agent markup.

Cat25 fares

These fares are marked additionally with an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. This symbol appears additionally to the respective fare icon of special NET,TOP and VFR fares.

Quick reminder: Cat25 fare filings are linked to the Published rates, i.e. if the Published rate changes, the corresponding Cat25 fare also changes. This happens without any warning.

We want to offer you as much fare transparency as available on the earliest possible step. Already on the results page, you'll see a colored icon featuring the letter G (for guarantee) next to the price.

This icon indicates the guaranteed time during which the displayed price is available. Each color corresponds to a different time limit. By hovering over the icon, you can access the price breakdown for each passenger type along with the associated time limit.

• Red = Instant ticketing (typically for low cost carriers/fares)
• Orange = <2 Days
• Yellow = 2-8 Days
• Green = >8 Days
• Grey = Price guarantee is unknown

Some airlines do not provide the payment guarantee timelimit until the PNR is created. Therefore, the icon on the results page will be grey and the message “Price guarantee unknown” is displayed.

Green: Free checked baggage for all flight legs included
Yellow: At least one leg without free baggage allowance
