FA-66656 / Airline fare rule evaluation / Open access

Travel on the last valid day treated as expired · case 01

Starting travel exactly one year after issue is refused.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 11 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The commencement check excludes the final valid date.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Allow first travel on or before the one-year anniversary.

Unsuccessful approach: A 365-day threshold misplaces the deadline across leap years.

Case contract

Input {'issue','first_travel' (ISO or None)}. One calendar year = same month/day next year (29 Feb -> 28 Feb). Unused -> ['UNUSED', issue+1y]. First travel later than issue+1y -> ['EXPIRED_UNUSED', issue+1y] (travel on that date is still valid). Otherwise ['TRAVEL', first travel+1y].

Why this case matters

Normal ticket validity runs one year from issue until travel commences, then one year from first travel, with calendar-year and leap-day rules.

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.
