  Amadeus for Developers Self-Service uses a two-environment, pay-as-you-go model with a free monthly
  transaction quota that follows the application from Test into Production. Test transactions are
  free against a cached subset of production data. Production transactions consume the free monthly
  quota first and then are billed per-transaction at API-specific rates. Enterprise customers buy
  through a separate Amadeus Enterprise contract with negotiated SLAs and access to the full
  distribution (NDC, margins/discounts, ticketing). NOTE: Amadeus has announced the Self-Service
  developer portal will be decommissioned on 17 July 2026; new registrations are paused and
  existing keys will be disabled on that date. Enterprise APIs are unaffected.
