Flights · Phase 1

Plan the route. Keep every fare claim grounded.

Prepare a flight request by airport, date, cabin, and party size. Airline inventory is not connected yet, so iRatePilot does not display live schedules, prices, availability, or tickets in this phase.

Supplier-offline planning previewNo airline API request or payment is made

This validates planning details and displays deterministic product fixtures only. It does not reserve a seat, quote a live fare, contact an airline, or create a charge.

Activation boundary

What must happen before live flight shopping.

A later phase must name the authorized content and ticketing provider, complete sandbox certification, define servicing ownership, and separately approve Production traffic.

Approved content source

Airline, NDC, GDS, or consolidator contracts and endpoint scope.

Ticketing and servicing

Fare rules, exchanges, cancellations, schedule changes, baggage, and support ownership.

Payment authorization

Separate flight-payment, fraud, refund, chargeback, legal, and Production approvals.
