Retrieve a flight order by id including travellers, segments, and ticketing status
Cancel a flight order within the airline's void window using the order id
Read the associated PNR reference from a previously created order
Confirm ticketing status before triggering downstream payment or fulfilment steps
GET STARTED
Use for: Retrieve the Amadeus flight order I just created, Cancel flight order eJzTd9d3MQ before the void window closes, Get the PNR reference for an existing flight order, I want to look up the ticketing status of a flight order
Not supported: Does not search for flights, reconfirm prices, or create new orders — use only to retrieve or cancel an existing Amadeus flight order by id.
The Amadeus Flight Order Management API retrieves and cancels flight orders previously created via Flight Create Orders. The two endpoints — GET and DELETE on /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} — let an integrator pull the full order state including travellers, segments, ticketing status, and PNR reference, or cancel the order within the airline's void window. It is the post-booking servicing layer of the Amadeus Self-Service flight stack.
Support post-booking servicing flows without re-implementing PNR access
Patterns agents use Flight Order Management API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Post-Booking Order Lookup
After a booking, the integrator stores the order id returned by Flight Create Orders and uses GET /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} to display the booking summary on a 'manage my booking' page. The response carries traveller details, segments, ticketing status, and the underlying PNR reference, so a single call hydrates the entire view.
GET /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} for the order id stored at booking time and return travellers, segments, and ticketing status.
Self-Service Cancellation Within Void Window
Travel sites that allow self-service cancellation call DELETE /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} during the airline's void window (typically 24 hours after booking for many carriers). A 200 response confirms the cancellation; afterwards, the integrator handles refund processing through its own PSP and notifies the customer.
Issue DELETE /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} for an order created in the past 24 hours and confirm the cancellation succeeded.
Ticketing Status Polling
For carriers that ticket asynchronously, the integrator polls GET /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} on a low-frequency schedule until the ticketing status moves from PENDING to TICKETED. Once ticketed, the integrator triggers downstream fulfilment such as adding the e-ticket to a wallet pass or sending the customer their itinerary email.
Poll GET /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} every 60 seconds for up to 10 minutes and stop when ticketingStatus is TICKETED.
Agent-Driven Booking Management via Jentic
An AI travel concierge handling 'cancel my Tokyo flight' uses Jentic to call Flight Order Management's DELETE endpoint with the stored order id, then confirms the cancellation to the user. Jentic resolves OAuth and validates the order id parameter, so the agent only declares intent and supplies the id.
Call jentic.search('cancel an Amadeus flight order'), load the operation, and execute it with the stored flight-orderId to delete the order.
2 endpoints — the amadeus flight order management api retrieves and cancels flight orders previously created via flight create orders.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Amadeus client_id and client_secret are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic runs the OAuth 2.0 client_credentials exchange and refreshes the bearer token automatically before each retrieve or cancel call.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent ('retrieve an Amadeus flight order' or 'cancel an Amadeus flight order') and Jentic returns the corresponding operation with the flight-orderId path parameter described in the input schema.
Time to first call
Direct Amadeus integration: 1-2 days for OAuth and post-booking servicing flow. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Flight Create Orders
Creates the orders this API retrieves and cancels.
Use upstream to produce the flight-orderId required by Order Management.
Flight Offers Price
Confirms a fresh offer price before order creation.
Use upstream of create-orders so the order being managed here was priced correctly.
Flight Check-In Links
Generates carrier check-in links for an existing booking.
Use after retrieving a flight order to surface the check-in link in the customer's manage-booking page.
On-Demand Flight Status
Returns live operational status for the segments in a managed order.
Use after retrieving an order to add live status to each segment on a manage-booking screen.
Specific to using Flight Order Management API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Flight Order Management API use?
Amadeus Self-Service OAuth 2.0 client_credentials. Exchange client_id and client_secret at https://api.amadeus.com/v1/security/oauth2/token for a bearer token and pass it in the Authorization header on both GET and DELETE calls. Through Jentic, the credentials live in the encrypted vault and the token is rotated for you on each servicing call.
Can I cancel an order outside the airline's void window?
No. DELETE /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} only succeeds within the carrier's void window — typically 24 hours after booking for many carriers, sometimes shorter or longer depending on fare rules. After the window closes, refunds and changes must go through the carrier's normal cancellation channel.
What are the rate limits for the Flight Order Management API?
Amadeus Self-Service Test caps booking-management endpoints at 1 transaction per second per API key with a monthly quota; Production limits scale with your Self-Service plan tier. Bearer tokens themselves expire after roughly 30 minutes.
How do I retrieve or cancel an order through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then call either jentic.search('retrieve an Amadeus flight order') or jentic.search('cancel an Amadeus flight order'), load the corresponding operation, and execute it with the flight-orderId path parameter. Jentic handles the OAuth exchange against the appropriate /booking/flight-orders/{flight-orderId} call.
Is the order id returned by Create Orders the same one I use here?
Yes. The id field on the Flight Create Orders response is exactly the {flight-orderId} expected by both endpoints in this API. Persist it at booking time so you can retrieve or cancel later.
Does cancellation refund the customer automatically?
No. The DELETE endpoint releases the booking and any held seats with the carrier, but payment refunds are handled by the integrator's own payment service provider (Stripe, Adyen, or similar). Trigger the refund explicitly after the DELETE returns success.
