Updating passenger details works by providing the old data together with the new data it is meant to replace within the following function of OrderChangeRQ:

/IATA_OrderChangeRQ/Request/ChangeOrderChoice/UpdatePax

If only new data is being appended to the passenger’s profile, then the “Current” must be provided, but only for the PaxID (no other details required).

Updating passenger details requires the following steps:

The Airline’s OrderViewRS should then reflect the modified and/or appended details. Note: The PaxID returned should still be the same as per previous OrderViewRSs.

This function is not intended for modifications to a passenger’s name - use the “Names changes/corrections through reshopping“ capability instead.
