Adding Corporate Loyalty Programme Accounts

Overview

Corporate loyalty programmes allow businesses to earn rewards and benefits when their employees travel. This guide explains how to access these programmes through the Duffel API when searching for flights.
When searching for flights using the Duffel API, you can access corporate loyalty programmes by adding specific information to your offer request.
