Dynamic transport supplement

Overview / Purpose

The Dynamic Transport Supplement (DTS) feature allows the system to secure the cheapest available flight for a departure, even if its price exceeds the maximum transport price set for that departure. Instead of blocking the booking, the price difference is automatically converted into a supplement per passenger, ensuring flexibility and accurate cost handling.

This prevents missed sales opportunities caused by strict maximum price limits while maintaining transparency in pricing.

How to Activate

• This feature applies only to dynamic transports.

1. Go to the Legs tab.

2. In the General Dynamic Information section, check the Dynamic Supplement checkbox.

3. Update the flights for the selected transport.

   • This step ensures the service finds the cheapest flights while ignoring the "Max return price per person from GDS" restriction.

How It Works

1. After activation, the service scans for the cheapest flights linked to the transport, ignoring the maximum price limit.

2. These flights are saved into the database.

3. When a booking is created and passengers are saved via Take Allotment:

   • A dynamic supplement (DTS) from category DT is automatically added per passenger.

   • The supplement amount represents the difference between the real flight price and the maximum set transport price.

Supplement Details

• Code: DTS

• Category: DT

• These values are manually added per company and are mandatory (cannot be deleted).

Calculation Rules

Charter Transport

• Transport Cost = 0

• DTS Cost = Real Transport Price

GDS Transport

• DTS is calculated against the Max return price per person from GDS.

• Example:

  • Max return price per person (from GDS): 100 DKK

  • Real flight price: 1720 DKK

  • Transport Cost = 100 DKK (the defined maximum)

  • DTS Price = 1720 – 100 = 1620 DKK

  • AlternativeCost = 1620 DKK

  • Passenger Table → TransportGDSCost = 100 DKK

Key Benefits

• Ensures the cheapest flights are always available, even when above max. transport price.

• Automatically balances costs with transparent supplements per passenger.

• Works seamlessly with both Charter and GDS transports.
