KIU Click allows the user to view and display fares without the need of a reservation. This process is commonly used to check fare´s restriction beforehand to make sure that given those conditions a specific fare will be valid for a certain itinerary.
It can also be used as a way to get the cheapest available fare by identifying the applicable class of service , this way , at the moment of creating a record the user will know in advance which class to select.
The fare display option , is included within the RESERVATIONS module
BASIC DISPLAY
Once on the fares module , in order to perform a basic fare display , the mandatory fields marked by ( * ) are to be filled in ; these fields are ORIGIN and DESTINATION , both follow the standard KIU CLICK logic , meaning that a minimun of three letters is requiered to return information , accepting the three letter code for the IATA airport code , or three letters which correspond to the city name.
After the the information about the city pair has been completed , click on the search button , and the result pages will be shown.
All applicable fares matching the search criteria will be listed and indexed , assigning an item number to each one of them; this item will be later on used to check the fare details.

Pricing Date : Same as Travel Date, this option will display a calendar to select any date, specfically this option is used to check applicable fares when pricing in the future as fares being applied today , fares may vary from those that will be applicable on a future date.
Carrier : In case the company works with interline agreements, the option of checking for third party fares will be available as well. To do so, just input the two letter code for the partner carrier.
Currency : By default KIU CLICK will display the fares that apply for you based on various configurations and setting , one of them is the currency settings ; so in case you want to check for fares in any other currency other than your default one , you can input the three letter code identifier for the desired currency
