Seller

Demonstrate ability to display shopping results (flights or ancillaries) from multiple airlines in a “side-by-side” approach, aligning together similar categories of services (preferably leveraging the new Airline Taxonomy codes).

NOTE: For all versions prior to that listed above (generally the most recent), the verification will be based on the guidance available for that version. In the case that no guidance is available, verification will be at IATA’s discretion.
