## **Airline Details**

When processing payment transactions in the context of airline bookings, one needs to include additional booking information captured under a dedicated JSON node within the main `AUTH`, `PURC&nbsp;`or `ORIGINALCREDIT&nbsp;`payload termed `AirlineDetails`. This object encapsulates flight-related, passenger, and reservation details for airline related payment transactions. To facilitate cross provider implementations, the entire JSON object needs to be implemented however supplying the minimum required values as per Acquirer specific guidelines hereunder. In addition this would help future proofing the integration since some attributes may become enforceable over time.

NOTE: Empty string values should be supplied for non required values.
