# NDC Guide for Apollo and Worldspan

At this time NDC content from Apollo and Worldspan is available for American Airlines. Please contact your Travelport account manager for more information about provisioning and availability in your market.

This guide details how NDC content from Apollo and Worldspan is handled in the TripServices APIs, including how it is identified in responses.

To access NDC content you must be provisioned for NDC with Travelport and with the NDC airline.

For GDS and NDC differences in the TripServices APIs, see the support tables for [seats](/docs/flights/guides/seats-and-ancillaries/seats-guide), [ancillaries](/docs/flights/guides/seats-and-ancillaries/ancillaries-and-emd-guide), [fare rules](/docs/flights/guides/fare-rules-guide), and [exchanges/refunds](/docs/flights/guides/exchange-refund-and-void-guide), and the [NDC and GDS Functionality Comparison](/docs/flights/ndc/ndc-guide).

For differences within NDC by individual carriers, see NDC capabilities by airline through TripServices API in the Travelport Knowledge Base. See [Knowledge Base NDC Resources](/docs/flights/ndc/ndc-guide#knowledge-base-ndc-resources) if you need login assistance.

## Basic Concepts

Content for both NDC and GDS in the TripServices APIs is sourced from the Galileo GDS (Global Distribution System) for most customers. NDC content from the Apollo and Worldspan GDSs is available to specifically provisioned customers, for [specific carriers and countries](#supported-carriers-and-countries) per below.

Most workflows, requests, and responses across the TripServices APIs work the same for both GDS and NDC content, with minor differences noted in the help where applicable. The exception is that changes to the air itinerary, and voids, exchanges, and refunds, are handled by separate TripServices APIs and follow different workflows. This results from differences in how NDC carriers implement these processes. The NDC menu at the top of every page groups these NDC-specific APIs. Otherwise, all [Guides](/docs/flights/guides/flights-guides) and API References apply to both NDC and GDS.

All NDC content, regardless of source (Travelport+/TripServices, Apollo, or Worldspan), is handled the same in the TripServices APIs. The only differences are:

- Responses identify the source of content with a specific source locator code per the next section
- Only [specific carriers](#carriers) per below support Apollo and Worldspan NDC content


For a discussion of GDS and NDC in general, see [NDC Basic Concepts](/docs/flights/ndc/ndc-guide#ndc-basic-concepts) in the NDC Guide.

## Source Values for Apollo and Worldspan Content

All workflows, requests, and responses are the same for all NDC content, with the one exception of the Locator source value returned for a booking. When a booking is confirmed, the booking commit response and all subsequent [Reservation Retrieve](/docs/flights/guides/booking-and-reservations/reservation-retrieve-guide) responses return a confirmation with a Confirmation/Locator/source object that identifies the source GDS of the booking:

- **1G**: Galileo/Travelport+
- **1P**: Worldspan
- **1V**: Apollo


For example, the following example confirmation excerpt comes from Apollo.


```json
"Confirmation": {
  "@type": "ConfirmationHold",
  "Locator": {
    "source": "1V",
    "value": "V33QDW"
  }
}
```

See the [Booking Guide](/docs/flights/guides/booking-and-reservations/flights-booking-guide) and [Reservation Retrieve Guide](/docs/flights/guides/booking-and-reservations/reservation-retrieve-guide) for more about booking confirmations and details in the TripServices APIs.
