Booking creation¶

Booking can be initiated only from a priced offer selected in the route search results. When the user clicks the “Price” button, the system opens a provisional booking session and temporarily holds seats from the available inventory.

The user is granted a limited amount of time — clearly shown on the screen — to provide the minimum required passenger information to complete the booking. The itinerary details displayed during this process always match the originally selected offer without any modifications.

Minimum required fields to complete the booking¶

1) Passenger fields (for passengers with a seat assigned:

Last Name – Mandatory field. Only letters from a single alphabet are permitted. If the passenger has a double last name, it must be entered with a space.
Name/ Middle Name – Mandatory field. The Middle Name (if applicable) is entered after a space and is required for domestic flights within the Russian Federation if it appears in the passenger’s official identity document. Only letters from a single alphabet are allowed. Double first names should be entered with a space between them.
Gender – Mandatory field. Options: Male / Female. Default selection is Male.
Pax Code – Pre-filled based on the data entered during the flight search. This value cannot be changed during booking creation.
Date of Birth – Mandatory field. Can be entered manually as text or selected via an interactive calendar. The internal format is 8 digits: DD.MM.YYYY, with the full four-digit year required. Separators (dots) are inserted automatically as the user types in the field.

The calendar interface includes dropdown selectors for both month and year, allowing independent selection. After choosing the year and month, the user selects the specific day by clicking on the corresponding date in the calendar view.

Mobile Phone – Mandatory for the first passenger only and optional for all other passengers. The booking cannot be saved unless at least one seated passenger has a valid mobile number provided. The mobile number field accepts international phone numbers consisting of 11 to 15 digits. Additionally, the user may optionally add another type of phone number for any passenger by selecting the number type (e.g., home, work, etc.) from a dropdown list “Phone type”.

Available actions on prebooking page¶

Prebooking page view

Create Order – initiates the booking process;
Back – cancels the current session and returns the user to the search results;
Commission – opens the agent commission details.

If the user navigates away from the booking creation page to any other page within the MixVel Cashier web application, the booking session will be automatically cancelled. After leaving the page, the user cannot return to complete the booking for the previously selected offer.

Agent commission¶

Agent commission button

On the booking creation page, the user can add an agent commission by clicking the “Commission” button.
The commission entry interface will open in a pop-up window. In the current version, the following options are available:

Add a commission amount for a specific passenger category
Add a commission amount applicable to all passengers.

If commissions are added both for all passengers and for a specific passenger category, passengers in that category will have two commission amounts applied: the amount defined for all passengers plus the amount defined for their specific category.

If an order contains multiple segments, the agent commission will be applied to each segment individually.

In the current version, adding a commission is only available for orders where all segments belong to a single brand.

The added commission is displayed in the expanded route price breakdown block, in the "Fees" column.

Order Cache¶

During work with an active order, the MixVel Cashier web-application stores a cache of unsaved changes. If the user attempts to leave the current active order page or refresh it (with the exception of external links), a warning pop-up will appear informing the user about unsaved changes.

If the user selects:

«NO» - the user will be returned to the previous page to save the changes.

«YES» - the user will be redirected to the requested page.
