Understanding Sabre itinerary segments cancellation

I could create PNR via Sabre REST API and now I want to cancel PNR. It seems there is no PNR cancellation API.

According to this post, I will have to use OTA_CancelLLSRQ (Cancel Itinerary Segments) to cancel the segment.

Then, I decided to use OTA_CancelLLSRQ and this is a sample request data for OTA_CancelLLSRQ documentation of Sabre

<OTA_CancelRQ Version="2.0.2">
    <Segment Type="entire"/>
</OTA_CancelRQ>

Here, I am a bit confused that there is no unique/reference ID or Itinerary ID in the request payload data.

How this is going to cancel a specific itinerary?

And also how can I cancel multiple itineraries at the same time?

Solution

  • From the documentation: highlighted screenshot here

    When you call the GetResrvationRQ API first, the PNR becomes 'active' in your workspace so when you call OTA_CancelRQ, it applies to the PNR you pulled up. I do not believe it is possible to cancel an itinerary in a stateless mode.

    Since you have to call the GetReservationRQ API on each PNR before you cancel, I do not think you can cancel more than one PNR at a time.
