Air APIs

Amadeus Air APIs allow us to perform a number of flight-related operations. These operations include searching for flights, booking flights, inquiring about flight status, searching for airports, and so on. In this lesson, we’ll cover the following Air APIs:

• Flight offers search
• On-demand flight status
• Airport and city search

The Flight Offers Search API

The Flight Offers Search API allows us to search for the best flight deals for our trips. It provides the cheapest flights from more than 500 airlines for our given trip itineraries. We can search for flights across two or more cities based on our trip itinerary and duration. This API provides detailed information for each proposed flight including the airline name for the flight, price, and other important flight information.

Note: This API does not include flights from American Airlines or from low-cost carriersA low-cost carrier or low-cost airline is an airline that offers generally low fares in exchange for eliminating many traditional passenger services. It is also referred to as a no-frills, discount or budget carrier, or airline..

We’ll use the following URL for the flight offers search.
