Flight Itinerary Example

A descriptive, non-normative ODP example.

This example shows how ODP can describe a time-sensitive travel Offering without adding airline-specific fields to the core protocol.

flight-offering.json illustrates:

• a stable Offering envelope with a human-facing web_url; the fixed get-offering operation and path-safe id locate the machine representation;

• nested departure and arrival structures with timezone-aware scheduled times;

• Service-owned carrier, flight, cabin, baggage, and refundability attributes; and

• a starting_at Price Preview that supports early comparison without replacing the authoritative fare returned later; and

• an OpenAPI-described quote action because traveler parameters, availability, fare, taxes, and conditions require a more complex operation than the compact action form.

flight-attributes.schema.json shows how the travel Service explains those attributes to an unfamiliar agent using JSON Schema types, constraints, titles, and descriptions. The schema is a descriptive example, not a normative ODP flight vocabulary.
