FA-66361 / Airline fare rule evaluation / Open access

Ticket timestamp earlier than the booking accepted · case 01

Records whose ticket predates the reservation silently pass.

ROOT CAUSE

The ordering guard is missing, so a negative ticketing delay satisfies the time limit.

THE FAILURE

The ordering guard is missing, so a negative ticketing delay satisfies the time limit.

Unsuccessful approach: Comparing dates only misses same-day tickets issued minutes before the reservation.

Case contract

Input {'res','ticket','depart' ISO local datetimes,'ap_days','ticket_within_h'}. Ticket before reservation -> 'ERR_ORDER'. AP counts calendar days between the ticketing date and the departure date (>= ap_days passes) and is checked before the ticketing time limit; ticketing must be at or before reservation + ticket_within_h hours. Return 'PASS', 'FAIL_AP' or 'FAIL_TKT_TL'.

Why this case matters

Advance purchase rules count calendar days, not elapsed 24-hour periods, and interact with a separate ticketing time limit after booking.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 10 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

A stipulated toy fare-rule contract with invented constants; it is not an ATPCO or carrier tariff implementation and makes no claim of industry-standard conformance. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:47:42.752794+00:00.
