Reservation of air tickets (Booking; time limit). Time limit: how long the reservation lasts Setting the time limit from the text of the fare rules
When booking a ticket on our FlyNow website, a message will be sent to the email address you provided with your booking details, including the time limit. Time limit is the time before which you need to pay for air tickets.
The time limit is determined by the airline and depends on how many days are left before your flight. The more time before departure you book a ticket, the more time you are given to pay for the ticket.
If a day or a little more remains before departure, the time limit is limited to a few hours, during which you should pay for the tickets. When issuing a ticket with a departure time of less than a day, booking tickets is not possible. You can issue such tickets only with simultaneous payment on the website or at the Flynow ticket office.
When booking tickets for a month or more, the reservation can be held for quite a long time, up to several weeks.
Airlines can reduce the holding time of the reservation! You will be notified by phone or email, so please use your actual details when booking.
It is impossible to extend the holding time of the reservation, as soon as the time limit expires, the reservation is automatically canceled by the airline's server. In this case, you will have to make a booking first and already at the rates that the airline offers today.
Important information!
When booking a flight, you should understand that the airline is guaranteed to keep your seat on the plane, but not its cost! The cost of an air ticket may change due to changes in the exchange rate or a change in the cost of the fare itself by the airline.
The service of pre-booking tickets at FlyNow ticket offices is free, but if you do not have time to redeem your ticket on time, there is a chance that when you re-book tickets at the original cost may no longer be.
When buying an air ticket a short time before departure, advance booking is not possible, you can only buy a ticket by paying its cost.
Booking tips from FlyNow experts
The contract of air carriage between the airline and the passenger is at the time of ticket purchase(when money has already been paid for the ticket) and the liability of the airline for changing or canceling the booking begins only from now on.
When booking flights for a long time, it is better not to rely on the fact that the reservation will be held until the last day. There are situations in which airlines can change the time limit, change the ticket price or cancel the booking:
- Changing the fare or taxes of the airline;
- Closing of ticket sales at the selected fare;
- Changes in the exchange rate;
- If the flight is popular, the airline can drastically reduce the holding time of the reservation.
Reducing the time limit (reservation holding time) most often occurs for flights that take place during the summer season or on holidays, for example, during the New Year holidays.
If a passenger expects to keep the reservation for a long time when buying a business class ticket, the likelihood that the reservation will “fly off” is somewhat reduced. But, if an economy class ticket is booked, then it is almost guaranteed that the reservation will be canceled earlier than it was announced when issuing the ticket.
Don't count on your booking to last long! Try to redeem your ticket as early as possible so that you do not overpay for a new ticket at a higher cost later.
The value of the payment time limit on the order information page
Armor time limit- this is the time provided for payment and issuance of booked orders.
Attention! If payment is not made or fixed before the time limit for payment, the order will be canceled automatically (provided that auto-cancellation of unpaid bookings is enabled for the agency).
Armor time limit settings
After the time limit expires:
- payment and checkout of the order is prohibited,
- with option enabled Enable auto-cancellation of bookings in Sales Management → Domains and protocols auto-cancellation starts.
The time limit is set separately for each component in the section "System settings" → "Background Processes" → "Auto Cancellation":
- Flights
- Hotels
To set the time limit, you must select the type of service and user for which the settings will be applied:
- Total time limit (term of payment for the order)- defines the mechanism for calculating the final value of the time limit for payment and statement: (this setting contains two options: time limit type and its value)
- Do not use - when setting this option, the system will not pay attention to the values specified here.
- Day of booking - means that the time limit occurs on the day of booking at 23:59.
- Booking time plus... - in this case, the time limit takes the value of the sum of the booking time and the specified time value.
- - the time limit is set as the time limit from the provider minus the set value.
- Time limit from supplier with max-limit - if the provider's time limit is greater than the set value, the set value is used; if it is less, the provider's time limit is used.
- Meaning- this option allows you to set the value of the time interval of the total payment time limit in the selected unit of measurement: seconds, minutes, hours, days.
- Time limit: after what time unpaid orders of individuals will be automatically canceled- this is the time provided for payment of booked orders of individuals.
- Time limit: after what time unpaid orders of legal entities will be automatically canceled- this is the time provided for payment of booked orders of legal entities.
- Additional time limit from the supplier by airlines (set in hours from the date the order was created) - This option allows you to override the time limit from the supplier depending on the airline. The countdown is in hours from the date the order was created. Values are specified in the format IATA_CODE:value,IATA_CODE:value (several values can be separated by commas). For example SU:2.5,PS:3
Attention! For correct operation of the setting Additional limit on time limit from the supplier by airlines (set in hours from the date of creation of the order), you must enable the setting Recalculate additional limit on the time limit from the supplier by airlines immediately after booking, specified below.
- Recalculate additional time limit limit from the supplier by airlines immediately after booking - recalculates the time limit immediately after booking, if the "Additional limit on time limit from the supplier by airlines" setting is used
- Limitation of the maximum time limit by the time before the start of the service in minutes- allows you to remove the restriction (60 minutes before departure) for issuing a ticket. The specified value is subtracted from the departure time of the first segment. For example, the departure of the first segment at 20:30 is set to 30 minutes, so flight registration is possible until 20:00. It is allowed to set at least 30 minutes, otherwise the value will not be applied. The default limit is 1 hour before departure.
Settings Interaction
The shortest time is selected from the settings on this page.
Attention! If the service time limit is less than the values specified here, then orders will be canceled according to the service time limit.
Attention! If the payment time limit set in the settings coincides with the departure time or is longer than it, then the restriction is triggered, and a time limit from the supplier is set for the order.
The time shown on the booking page may not match the time on the booking details page if options are selected for the general payment time limit settings "do not use" or "real time limit from the supplier minus .." , then in this case, the confirmation page displays the time limit received from the provider, taking into account these settings. The difference can be several hours.
If there are no settings, the order will be canceled when the service time limit occurs.
Setting the time limit from the text of tariff rules
It often happens that a time limit is prescribed in the tariff rules. This time limit is set a/k, it may differ from what the GDS sends.
Option Use TL extracts from tariff rules(Nemo Connect admin panel: Aviation settings → Profiles → User profile) includes setting the time limit for the statement in Nemo.travel from the text of the tariff rules. Thus, the time limit for the order will be set from the tariff rules, and not received from the GDS.
Attention! Be careful when using this option! When using the time limit from the tariff text, we cannot guarantee its correct operation by 100%. When this setting is enabled, the agent takes responsibility for its meaning.
Time limit display
The date of the auto-cancellation of the order can be seen on the booking confirmation page, on the page with information about the order and in "Personal account" (column "Auto-cancellation").
Features of use
Be careful when using time limits in Nemo.travel. The available options for determining time limits allow you to very flexibly configure the logic of their behavior, so you need to clearly understand how time limits will work with the given settings.
For example, if installed General time limit as Real time limit from the supplier minus... meaning X, this means that the Nemo.travel system will use a time limit equal to the reduced real time limit of the supplier by the value X. This means, for example, that when the time limit occurs in Nemo.travel, you will not be able to place an order - there will be no button on the order information page "Pay", however, this order can be placed in the supplier's terminal, since the time limit has not yet come in his system. Attention! The time limit value from the GDS is usually equal to the departure time minus an hour.
If the time limit has come before booking the order (this is possible if for setting Real time limit from the supplier minus... is set to a high value or the booking is made on the day of the flight/trip/check-in to the hotel), then in this case, for air flights, a message will be displayed that the order is not relevant. And rooms in hotels that have penalties not from the time of booking will be booked only after prepayment, as well as orders with penalties from the time of booking.
Manual change of time limit
Pop-up window for manual change time limit
In chapter "Orders" ⇨ "Time limits" there is a setting "Manual time limit change" . The setting allows the manager and agency experts to manually change the date and time of the time limit for order payment. This functionality is applicable to air and hotel components. In order to change the time limit, you need to use the "Change time limit" link, which is located under the line "This price is valid when paying for the order before" in the payment information block on the order information page.
On the booking form 2.0, manual change of the time limit is available in the menu Service information.
In addition, a notification will be sent to the customer if the template is configured "The order was changed while syncing" and the option is enabled "Send a letter to the client about the change in the order" from the section Notifications and documents → Parameters.
Attention! Please note that if you change the time limit for payment for a time later than the time limit from the supplier, you assume all financial risks. The time limit for payment from the supplier and this message are present in the pop-up window for manually changing the time limit.
Time zone accounting
Map of time zones
Administrative time zone(time zone) - a section of the earth's surface on which, in accordance with some law, a certain standard time is established. As a rule, the concept of an administrative time zone also includes the coincidence of the date - in this case, the UTC−10:00 and UTC+14:00 zones will be considered different, although they have the same time of day.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)- the standard by which society regulates clocks and time. Time zones around the globe are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UTC.
Attention! It should be remembered that UTC time is not translated either in winter or in summer. Therefore, for those places where there is a transition to daylight saving time, the offset relative to UTC changes.
Nemo.travel servers are located in the Europe/Moscow time zone (UTC+03:00). Time limits for payment and voiding received from suppliers are calculated taking into account the configured PCC time zone of connection details. To select the time zone, use the value of the drop-down list "Props Time Zone" in setting up GDS details in the section "Air tickets" → "Requisites for connecting to GDS", the default value is Europe/Moscow.
Time data in Saber
Attention! In the GDS responses, data can be received simultaneously on both the payment time limit and the statement time limit. The priority is the time limit that expires earlier (the value of which is less). It is the smallest time limit that the Nemo.travel system will use as the provider's time limit.
Logging the calculation of the armor time limit
To make it easier to track the work of time limits, Nemo.travel implements logging of their calculation:
- When you go to the page for entering information about the customer (for the air component)
- During the booking process
- In the process of updating the cost of the order when choosing a payment gateway
- During the ordering process
Example of time limit calculation log
Array ( => Settings Owner:2432 => Order Type:FLIGHTS => Vendor Time Limit:2014-02-26 17:18:00 (1393420680) => Current Time:2014-02-25 17:18:57 => Title settings:timelimit.FLIGHTS.booking_timelimit_option => "Total timelimit" setting:last_day_minus => "Value" setting number:1 => "Value" setting multiplier:H => Total timelimit calculation: => Vendor limit -X, value: 2014 -02-26 16:18:00 => B2B mode => Array ([message] => Calculated time limits: [info] => Array ([Vendor time limit] => 2014-02-26 17:18:00 [Time limit by settings] => 2014-02-26 16:18:00 [Additional time limit b2b/b2c] => 2014-02-25 22:18:57)) => Selected minimum time limit: 2014-02-25 22:18 :57)

Oxford English vocab
Booking air tickets independently on our website or with the help of booking agents is the assignment of a seat for a specific passenger in a specific class on a specific flight of a specific airline. Booking a ticket does not oblige you to anything, but guarantees you a place on this flight until the time limit expires - the time allotted by the airline to make a decision on this booking, when this booking must be issued a ticket or it must be canceled.
As long as you have a reservation, you can be calm, but it is important not to miss the moment of its cancellation. Otherwise, it will be automatically canceled and the place you booked goes on free sale and it can already go to another lucky person. It is also important to remember that when airlines increase their flight load, they often send us, the agency, notifications that the validity of the reservation has been changed and the ticket must be issued earlier than the previously established deadline. In such cases, we are forced to ask you to hurry up with making a decision.
Reservations are always made for a specific person. It is not possible to change the name or surname in the reservation. To do this, you need to cancel the old reservation and make a new one. Of course, in this case, the seats booked in the old reservation at a good rate may go to other people. Therefore, it is very important not to make mistakes when booking!
Important! If you can’t decide which flight to fly on, and you make several bookings for passengers with the same name at once, regardless of whether they are in the same agency or in different agencies, then the airline will see all your bookings and cancel them all. Thus, you may lose the opportunity to book a ticket at the fare you like.
It doesn't cost any money to make a reservation, so don't be afraid to book. Money is needed only if you want to buy a ticket. But try to book correctly so that you and other passengers have the opportunity to choose exactly the fare, the flight, the airline that you like.
Time-limit or the duration of the reservation.
The validity period of the reservation is the time during which you can buy tickets at the booked fare on the flights of your choice for certain dates. Usually, the cheaper the fare, the shorter the duration of the reservation. In most cases, the reservation can be held for 24 or 72 hours. However, it all depends on the fare booked, airline, flight load and many other factors. In addition, airlines can send us so-called “remarks” (such special internal messages in the booking system) that the validity period of the reservation has changed down. Then our agents try to warn you about the change in the validity of the reservation as soon as possible. No agency can increase this time.
As soon as the time limit is over, the airline will automatically cancel the booking. That is, you will no longer be able to buy tickets at the booked fare for the same flights and dates, unless of course there are no empty seats left at the same price. Then you can make a new reservation and try not to miss it again.
Therefore, do not leave the decision to the very last moment. Otherwise, you may be left without a ticket at the fare you like. If we do not receive payment before the end of the validity period of the reservation, then unfortunately the reservation will be canceled automatically.

set_time_limit
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)
set_time_limit- limits execution time.
Description
void set_time_limit (int seconds)
Sets the time in seconds that the script can run. If this value is reached, the script returns a fatal error. The default limit is 30 seconds or, if it exists, the max_execution_time value defined in the configuration file. If seconds is 0, there is no limit.
When set_time_limit() is called, it restarts the timeout counter from zero. In other words, if the default timeout is 30 seconds, 25 seconds of script execution has elapsed, and such a call to set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will run 45 seconds before the timeout.
set_time_limit() has no effect if PHP is running in safe mode. There is no other way out than disabling safe mode or changing the time limit in the configuration file.
Note: the set_time_limit() function and the max_execution_time configuration directive only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any time spent on activities outside of script execution, such as system calls with system(), the sleep() function, database queries, etc. is not included when calculating the maximum script time.
Application example set_time_limit:
set_time_limit(20); while ($i<=10) { echo "i=$i "; sleep(100); $i++; } Выведет:i=0 i=1 i=2 i=3 i=4 i=5 i=6 i=7 i=8 i=9 i=10
