# `flights.hold_not_supported` — Fare cannot be held

**HTTP status:** 409  
**Retryable:** no — change the request or the flow first

## When it happens

The airline issues this fare the moment it is booked (typical of low-cost carriers), so it cannot be held and paid later. The price check shows it as `hasFlightHold: false`. Nothing was booked.

## What to do

Pick a fare with `hasFlightHold: true`, or book this one through the agency panel, which books and pays in one step.
