Travix - Problem to be solved
Background:
BusyFlights is a flights search solution which aggregates flight results initially from 2 different suppliers (CrazyAir and ToughJet). A future iteration (not part of the test) may add more suppliers.
Recommended duration of test:
Allocate no more than 90 minutes to complete this exercise. An incomplete solution is acceptable but documenting any remaining tasks and next steps is expected.
What is required:
Use this GitHub repository as a base to implement the Busy Flights service that should produce an aggregated result from both CrazyAir and ToughJet. The result should be a JSON response which contains a list of flights ordered by fare which has the following attributes:
Busy Flights API
Request
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| origin | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| destination | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| departureDate | ISO_LOCAL_DATE format |
| returnDate | ISO_LOCAL_DATE format |
| numberOfPassengers | Maximum 4 passengers |
Response
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| airline | Name of Airline |
| supplier | Eg: CrazyAir or ToughJet |
| fare | Total price rounded to 2 decimals |

| destinationAirportCode | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| departureDate | ISO_DATE_TIME format |
| arrivalDate | ISO_DATE_TIME format |
The service should connect to the both the suppliers using HTTP.
