AvailRequestSegment

Type : AvailRequestSegmentsType-AvailRequestSegment

Definition
To accommodate the ability to perform multiple requests within one message, the availability request contains the repeating element, AvailRequestSegment. Each segment includes a collection of criteria that requests a bookable entity, which may include designated rate plans, room types, amenities or services, and the request can be used for guest rooms or other inventory items for which availability is sought. Each segment would be presumed to have a unique date range for each request.
