FGW functionality for searching for offers

[edwinvandenbelt]

In Ferrygateway , it is possible to search for offers, that are relatively small, and after that, after you can 'explore' the options on top of it.

The request is now modelled as:

and the response is now:

What's the disadvantage of reusing the search for ancillaries, spot allocations and asset allocations, that we already must implement in the 'amend' phase? Before calling the Amend locked offer request, you must be able to search the things to amend.

Shouldn't we model the 'Spot availability request' (and Asset availability request) as follows:
input:

• package reference,
• optional travel right (package element) reference,
• some additional search filters?
  That would make it possible to search for options.

And the delivery should contain only the Available Spot Allocations, or Ancillaries, etc.

I have not yet had the time to think it through fully...

Sorry for the long response time. You are right that the old construction was not ideal, and partially not explained enough. I have added explanations in the different stages of the Search and also changed the draft model in multiple places. Please see latest EA model. And lets continue the discussion. :-)
