# Last-Minute Flights

Effective Date: 3 September 2026

#### 1. Definition

A Last-Minute Flight is a flight where the scheduled flight departure time is:

* within the next 15 hours; or&#x20;
* before the end of the current calendar day.

#### 2. Availability & Identification&#x20;

Last-Minute Flights are available through the Search, Get\_Offer and Fulfilment APIs.&#x20;

Eligible flights will be identified in the API using the tag:\`LastMinute\`&#x20;

#### 3. Processing & Confirmation&#x20;

On submission of a Last-Minute Flight booking:&#x20;

* Atlas will verify the applicable fare and availability and commence booking.&#x20;
* If successful, Atlas will return the confirmed booking and PNR detail within five (5) minutes.&#x20;
* If the booking has not been confirmed within five (5) minutes of order submission, Atlas will cancel the order. The order will not enter an extended or manual pending process.&#x20;

A Last-Minute Flight therefore has two outcomes: confirmed within five (5) minutes or cancelled by Atlas.&#x20;

The Client may use the Atlas Order Regeneration functionality where an order was not confirmed.

#### 4. No Guarantee of Successful Booking&#x20;

Atlas does not guarantee successful confirmation of a Last-Minute Flight.

Where an order is not confirmed within five (5) minutes and is cancelled, Atlas will not be required to provide a replacement booking or compensate the Client for any resulting fare difference, loss, cost or expense.&#x20;

A booking must not be considered confirmed until successful booking confirmation has been returned by Atlas.&#x20;

#### 5. Fees & Services&#x20;

Transaction fees apply only to successfully confirmed bookings and will be charged in accordance with the Client's applicable commercial terms.

Atlas's standard supported ancillary and post-booking services will be available for successfully confirmed bookings, subject to airline availability, time restrictions and supported functionality.

#### 6. Existing Terms&#x20;

These terms supplement the Client's existing agreement with Atlas. In the event of conflict, these terms will apply to Last-Minute Flight bookings unless otherwise agreed in writing.

#### 7. Enablement&#x20;

Last Minute Flights will be enabled by default for all Atlas global clients effective 10 September 2026.\*

If the Client does not accept these Terms of Service, the Client should notify its Atlas Account Manager and Last-Minute Flights will be disabled for the Client.
