curl --request POST 'https://b2b.ideaholiday.com/api/v1/fly/search' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <PARTNER_ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "from_airport": "DEL",
    "to_airport": "DXB",
    "departure_date": "2026-09-15",

Confirm a selected fare

Pass the exact flight ID, selected-flight object, and search inputs from your search. Confirmation can have a booking-side effect: after a timeout, check booking status before submitting it again.
