Fetch live, bookable pricing for a specific route and date pair. Use it once the user has settled on exact travel dates, for example “Paris to New York departing June 1 returning June 8 in economy”. It also reprices an offer surfaced earlier by the calendar or destination tools so you can confirm availability before adding it to a trip.

​
Two modes, one endpoint

POST /v1/flight_search serves both modes:
  • Search mode — filter-based live search by origin, destination, departure_date, and passengers. Returns priced offers, each fare carrying a trip_item_token you can add to a trip.
  • Reprice mode — pass an offer_token from discovery (find_destination, flight_calendar) to re-price that specific offer before adding it to a trip. The other route fields are ignored when offer_token is present.
The CLI mirrors this: pass --offer-token for reprice mode, omit it for search mode.
