Release Flight Membership Purchase

Changed on

Hand an unpaid flight + membership checkout back to ordinary payment.

Axel credit never applies inside the combined purchase. When a balance lands after that purchase claimed the session (a code typed in Settings, a goodwill credit granted mid-chat), the site calls this so the SAME session continues on ordinary payment with the credit toggle: travelers, bags, seats and contact stay put. Travel asks Temporal to discard the unpaid options first and refuses (409) once money is in flight; the purchase then simply carries on.

Where this booking's tickets and receipt are also sent, when it is not the account email (often the traveler's). Booking-level only: it never changes the account email or its sign-in. Send null or an empty string to clear it.

discount_tier'flight_only' | 'bundle'

Pricing tier this session is priced at (FAC-942). A 'yes' staying declaration cuts a 'bundle'-tier successor session; the tier never downgrades. Nothing hotel-shaped is persisted on the session — the declaration's 'why' lives in trip_facts.hotel_intent.

traveler_namesstring[]

Resolved passenger names from traveler_profile_ids in payload

required_traveler_fieldsTravelerField[]

Traveler profile fields the client must collect before payment.

adult_gate_exemptboolean

True when the session owner is on the legal-approved allowlist exempt from the 18+ accompanying-adult gate. Clients must skip their traveler-form adult-age check when set; the server-side payment gate applies the same allowlist.

optional_traveler_fieldsTravelerField[]

Traveler-identity fields the client may offer for this flight (e.g. KTN, loyalty). Never blocks payment, distinct from required_traveler_fields.

purchase_intent_idstring uuid nullable

Durable single-use purchase commitment this session belongs to (ENG-24229). None for sessions created before the intent rollout.

purchase_intent_status'open' | 'committing' | 'booked' nullable

Current lifecycle of the session's purchase intent. 'booked' means the commitment was already consumed — clients must render the existing booking instead of a payment surface.

purchase_intent_booking_idstring nullable

Booking that consumed the purchase intent. May belong to a sibling session of the same commitment.
