Is there a connection between stopOver and numberOfStops? [closed]
2
When communicating programmatically with the Sabre GDS, in the documentation I always find the fields stopOver and numberOfStops. I always assumed they are related, but today someone argued that they represent different things, but I couldn't understand the difference.
Could someone explain it?
For reference, a GDS (Global Distribution System) basically manages the distribution of travel-related products, historically the flights. Interaction with a GDS is usually about getting availabilities, details or booking a flight.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it isn't really about travel, it's about programming and communicating with a specific API. Probably should be moved to Stack Exchange.

The service provide should provide you with this documentation. While they are likely different (because conceptually, they are), an API is always defined at the discretion of the owner.

@choster: I've send a question to Sabre, but the typical answer time is about 1 month, and I need to make a development that would reach the client tomorrow... I was hoping that someone else encountered these terms before and could explain them from the user-perspective(so the people who use the tools are my target here). Johns-305 mentioned that they are conceptually different, but I'm not seeing any difference between the 2 terms.

Typically, a Stopover is a voluntary interruption of the flight leg sequence, where the customer walks out of the airport to do whatever, normally between 1 and 364 days. A Stop is a change of flights, either the plane or the Flight #, or even just a interruption, like a bus stopping at the bus stop. The first is typically by customer wish; the second is by necessity (of connections or associated prices). Now the API might use other definitions, who knows.
