Verified steps

  1. POST the full, unmodified FlightOffer object (from the search step) to /v1/shopping/flight-offers/pricing; include x-payment-type header if required and set include=bags,detailed-fare-rules as query params to get ancillary and fare rule data.
  2. The pricing response returns a new FlightOffer with an updated price — treat this as the authoritative price; the search price is indicative only.
  3. Check that flightOffers[0].price.grandTotal matches your expected amount and review fareDetailsBySegment for any fare basis codes or restrictions that affect the booking decision.
  4. Build the order payload: POST to /v1/booking/flight-orders with the priced FlightOffer plus travelers[] array containing firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth, gender, contact.emailAddress, contact.phones[], and documents[] (passport info for international).
  5. On success (HTTP 201) you receive an order object with id (the Amadeus booking reference) and associatedRecords[] which contains the airline PNR (the GDS or airline locator your passenger needs at the airport).
  6. In test, use Amadeus-provided test traveler data; the test environment will reject bookings with random names or invalid passport numbers, returning a 400 with an error code in errors[].
