  1. Authentication – Obtain a bearer token using client credentials.
  2. Air Shopping – Send AirShoppingRQ with origin/destination, dates, and pax count. Parse AirShoppingRS for offers.
  3. Price & Seat – Use OfferPriceRQ to confirm price and SeatAvailabilityRQ for seat maps.
  4. Order Creation – Submit OrderCreateRQ with selected offer and passenger details. Receive OrderViewRS with an order ID.
  5. Payment & Ticketing – Follow airline-specific payment instruction; order becomes ticketed.
  6. Servicing – Retrieve order (OrderRetrieveRQ) or modify (OrderChangeRQ).

The guide includes airline-specific sunset dates for EDIFACT. For example, by mid-2026, Lufthansa Group carriers will impose a surcharge on EDIFACT bookings. Plan your NDC migration accordingly.
