Segments on participating airlines are identified by a P (pending) until the participating airline has responded with their record locator. Once the airline responds, the pending indicator P is replaced with an A, meaning the booking has been acknowledged. Included in the Direct Response are the airline’s record locator, the airline code, flight number and city pair. It is mandatory for an Airline Source and Direct Sell participant to participate in Direct Response. It is optional for the other airline participants. View All record locators *DR REGULAR PARTICIPANT WORLDSPAN accesses the airline database when the booking is ‘ended’, i.e. after End Transaction. However, the airline can reject the booking within 12hours of it receiving it. It is recommended that a Regular Participant should not be confirmed to a passenger until the 12 hours have elapsed. NB.
