Create a Quote

Foundation draft object for your booking

Step 1

This quote is the foundation of your booking. It's a draft object that holds aircraft, customer, workflow, and leg data.

1

Send POST Request

Send a POST request to the `/api/external/quote` endpoint with the required payload.

2

Note the Booking ID

Take note of the `bookingid` in the response because you'll need it to execute the next steps.

POST/api/external/quote

Request Example

The request can be as simple as:

POST /api/external/quote
{
    "aircraft": "registrationNumber",
    "customer": {
        "firstName": "Name",
        "lastName": "Surname",
        "account": {
            "name": "NewAccount"
        }
    },
    "workflow": "PRIVATE"
}
💡Pro Tip: Including an `externalReference` field allows you to maintain consistency between FL3XX and your internal systems. This field is searchable and can be used in most places where `quoteId / bookingId` is expected.
