Introduction to Amadeus Fares

Amadeus Fares is a computerized air travel pricing system. Its database stores over 57 million public fares, 17 million negotiated fares and 40 million negotiated selling fares. These fares are received from ATPCO, SITA, IATA and directly on tape. The Fare Quote system can construct an unlimited number of fares through the dynamic add-on processing facility.

There are 3 main features in Amadeus Fares: 1. Fare Quote Displays 2. Informative Pricing 3. Itinerary Pricing (FQD) (FQP) (FXX, FXP)

Fare Notes (HEFQN)

Fare Notes contain the conditions and regulations applicable to a specific fare. Fare notes are also referred to as fare rules. There are three existing formats: IATA Reso 100 – New Format Paragraphs are organized by categories ATPCO Automated Rules Paragraphs are organized by category names Fare notes/rules have a maximum of nine versions, each with a specific effective and discontinue date.

Fare Quote Tools This chapter contains information about the calculation entries you can perform, such as mileage calculations, currency conversions, and excess baggage charges. 5.1 Mileage Calculation

IATA has established a maximum permitted mileage (MPM) between any two cities in the world. Mileage fares can allow a passenger to do a small deviation from a straight line in an itinerary, at no extra cost, or greater deviation at a cost based on the maximum permitted mileage fare (MPM) amount, no more than 25% over the MPM. The Amadeus mileage transaction compares the calculated Ticketing Point Mileage (TPM) with the Maximum Permitted Mileage (MPM) for an itinerary. The system also calculates: The Cumulative Mileage (CUM) to each city en route The excess mileage (25M) surcharge The difference between the CUM and MPM Mileage deductions when extra mileage (XTRA) is applicable The Amadeus mileage transaction allows you to calculate the mileage for up to 29 city or airport codes. It compares the ticketed point with the maximum permitted mileage for an itinerary. You have the option to add a date, a route code, and surface sector indicators. TPM and MPM information is provided to Amadeus by IATA.

The following table explains the column headers of the mileage display:
Code CTY 2 DC TPM Explanation City code and tariff conference area Tariff conference area Direction code for TPM Ticketed point miles between each city pair. For example: PAR/STO 960 CUM The cumulative total of the TPMs from the origin. For example: PAR/STO/LON 960+890 = 1850 MPM Maximum permitted miles from the origin to each city For example: PAR/DEL 5376 LVL Level, indicates the mileage surcharge (M) applicable when the fare is broken at that city. The levels can be 5M, 10M, 15M, 20M and 25M. Note: When EXC appears, the mileage surcharge is greater than 25% <HGL Higher level mileage, indicates the number miles over the previous surcharge level. For example: PAR/DEL 163 extra miles before the mileage surcharge is raised to 20M <LWL Lower level mileage, indicates the number of miles over the previous surcharge level. For example: PAR/DEL 106 miles over the mileage of 15M 25M Indicates the total number of miles the TPM can be increased before the mileage exceeds the 25% surcharge level. It is equal to the MPM plus a 25% surcharge. For example: PAR/STO MPM 1152 + 25% (288) = 1440 XTRA Extra, indicates the number of extra miles allowed. This amount is subtracted from the cumulative TPM figure. The XTRA column can also display a minus figure. In this case, the MPM figure is reduced and an * is placed next to the MPM figure. Note: This applies to domestic segments only

5.8

Excess Baggage Charges (HE FQX)

When a passenger wants to check in more baggage than allowed, the airline can charge the passenger for the excess amount between two cities. The system calculates the charges based on rates per kilo for the current date. Normally, the overweight charges have been based on one percent of an airlines one-way business class fare. This may differ, and it is up to the airline to decide. You can request excess baggage charge rates for a specific airline, for a specific date, or rates defined by IATA, based on YY fares. Two baggage policies exist, the weight concept and the piece concept. Airlines that apply the piece concept set a maximum limit of weight, size and number of pieces that a passenger can check in free of charge. You can find the airline’s baggage policy and limits in the AIS pages, GGAIRxx (where xx is the airline code). Note: The excess baggage charges transaction does not apply to markets using the piece concept.

Informative Pricing (HE FQP)

The Amadeus Informative Pricing transaction FQP is a fare calculation tool, which allows you to estimate the fare for an itinerary. This especially useful at times when you need to find the price for an itinerary, but you are not yet ready to make a reservation. You must use airport codes, rather than city codes, so that they system can calculate the appropriate taxes. You can add options to your entry, and the more specific you are, the easier it is for the system to target a specific fare. If you prefer, you can create a mask, and let the system guide you through the different options. The following conditions apply: • • You can use FQP for all fares except group fares and air passes.

FQP is applicable for past date fares of up to seven days in the past for US and
Canada, three months elsewhere, and twelve months into the future, which in the Amadeus system is 361 days.

Journey type limits:

10.3 Pricing Unit Concept (HE PUC) The pricing unit concept is a method of breaking a journey into standalone pricing units. A pricing unit is defined as a journey or part of a journey that is priced separately and is therefore capable of being ticketed separately. Amadeus combine the pricing units within an itinerary, if such a combination is allowed in the routing and if it results in a lower fare than a through fare. The system processes the Advance Purchase category (AP) of all international special fares, per pricing unit. If the special fare is part of the automated rules product, the minimum (MN) and maximum (MX) stay conditions and seasonality (SE) categories are processed as well.
Note: The pricing unit concept applied to all normal and special fares. However, the pricing

unit concept does not apply to Asean extended fares. You can view the pricing unit concept applied by entering the FQN or FQS follow-up transaction after pricing, For example:

In the example above, pricing unite 1 is a one-way fare Singapore Hong Kong. Pricing unit 2 is a return Hong Kong to Singapore. Refer to HE PUC for more examples.

Conditions and Restrictions The following conditions and restrictions apply for Amadeus Best Pricer:


Amadeus Best Pricer can process different discounts and passenger types within a PNR, provided that all passengers are booked in the same class, and that the respective rules allow pricing. Discounts can be included in the Amadeus Best Pricer entry, or in the passenger name field. If the passengers have to be priced in different booking classes to qualify for the lowest fare, Amadeus Best Pricer will recommend splitting the PNR to optimize the total price. For round-trip and circle-trip itineraries, you can price a maximum of 12 flight segments or 10 flight segments and two surface segments. For one-way itineraries, you can price a maximum of 11 flight segments or nine flight segments and two surface segments. Amadeus Best Pricer applies the standard pricing rules including the precedence of carrier fares over YY fares. You can use Amadeus Best Pricer on a PNR containing married segments. (The married segments must not be separated by segment selection.) However, rebooking only occurs if the airline allows married segments to be rebooked. You can use the Amadeus Best Pricer entries FXA, FXL, and FXR without passenger name elements in the PNR. You cannot use Amadeus Best Pricer for open or passive flight segments. Partial passenger selection is not allowed. If you need to passenger-select to enter discounts, select all passengers and apply the PAX code to those passengers with no specific discount.

Scenario 2: With an Active PNR You need to search for cheaper recommendations for an itinerary already booked in a PNR or your customer would like to depart and return three days later than originally planned. You can request up to six segments. Including up to two surface segments. Simply retrieve the PNR and enter: FXD to search for cheaper recommendations with current PNR itinerary or, FXD//D3 to search for recommendations 3 days later. Example :

The first recommendation shows the price to beat, which is the lowest (best) available fare for the current PNR journey. The other recommendations are the cheapest for the same PNR itinerary. All options specified with the FXD command override PNR content. Again, to display all recommendations for one specific group, you can use FXS and the recommendation number To rebook with a proposed recommendation, you can use the following commands with the recommendation number: FXZ to rebook and price, FXU to also create the TST.

Diagnostic Tool

(HEDIAG)

The Amadeus fares and pricing Diagnostic Tool allows you to target a specific fare when pricing, and if the fare is not applicable, display the reason for the pricing failures You can then refer directly to the applicable rule restriction in order to advise travelers how to change their itinerary to qualify for the fare. The Diagnostic Tool is available as an option for the following transactions: - Informative pricing (FQP), with or without creating mask - Itinerary pricing (FXX) without creating A TST Note: This tool is only available for encoded fares ie SITA(LSS) and ATPCO (ATP) publish fares For example, if you have the following PNR displayed
Price with fxp/r,vc-sq System price YR8 fare

FXX/DF-EESG to check is EESG available Move down to check reason for Fare basis not priced

You can verify that the itinerary qualifies for the particular Fare basis code, for example EESG, by entering:

FXX/D F -EESG
You can also specify each segment individually as follows:

FXX /S2-3, 5 /D S2-3 F-THWAPT3, S5 F-THXAPT3 /S2-3,5 /D S2-3 F-THWAPT3 S5 F-THXAPT3

Fare Calculation Mode Indicators (HE FCMI)

The system generates a fail code, or fare calculation mode indicator, when you price or print a ticket with special conditions. These codes are printed on the ticket, displayed in the ticket image, and stored in the TST. The code can be either a letter or a number, to indicate how the itinerary was priced. The Fail code and TST indicators can be one of the following:

Command page: Fail code I TST 0

Graphic page: Fail code Type I and Calculation mode 0 auto price fare.

11. Introduction to Ticketing Amadeus creates an Amadeus Interface Record (A.I.R.) for all un-ticketed passengers and segments in the PNR. Then Amadeus sends the A.I.R to your ticketing system. The Ticketing system responds with either an acknowledgment (TRACK) or a rejection (TREJ). If the ticketing system accepts the A.I.R, the ticket is printed on your ticket printer. After the ticket has been issued, Amadeus receives a ticket number message, which is stored in the PNR FA element. The TK element in the PNR is automatically changed to TKOK to show that the ticket has been issued. A ticket can be issued from a newly created PNR and a retrieve PNR. Before issuing the ticket, make sure that all advice codes have changed to status code (HL, HK).

The following diagram shows the communication flow which takes place after you have entered TTP command to issue a ticket.

12.

Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) (HE TST, HE TQT)

A Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) is a record containing all the ticketing information attached to a PNR. The distribution system automatically takes information about the fare and the ticketing arrangement and creates the TST.More than one TST can exist per passenger or PNR and Amadeus assigns number to the TSTs.

To display a TST you can either click on the TQT on the tab, or click on the TST tab from the fares and pricing area. To display an existing TST click Send.

If there is only one TST, it is displayed. If there is more than one TST for the different passenger types or segments, the system display a list Select a TST and click on send. Here is an example of a TST. It has been automatically priced. Graphical Mode

You may use the net fare amount to override the total amount in the remittance area of a ticket. The amount you specify in the net fare field is then printed in the remittance area instead of the publish fare. The amount you enter must be less than the TST equivalent or the base fare amount. You can only use the net fare field together with an original form of payment element containing a net remit indicator and a selling fare. For example:
NR+CASH/SGD470.

The currency code is optional. If you do not enter one, the system will default to Singapore Dollars. Enter net fare amount in the Net fare column.

Mandatory Fare Remark Elements for first ticket issuance

Amadeus system requires 2 mandatory elements to be added to a PNR before a ticket may be printed. 13.1 Commission (HE FM) The commission element is used to report the commission earned when you issue a ticket.

13.2

Form of Payment (HE FP SG)

The form of payment indicates the type of payment for the ticket to be issued. If you have a credit card in the form of payment element, the system automatically obtains an approval code when you print the ticket.

13.3

Endorsable (HE FE)

The endorsements/restrictions element (FE) is used to identify any restrictions, airline comments or rules that may apply to a ticket. The system automatically appends an FE element to a PNR when a restriction results from specific pricing conditions obtained from the fare server. Enter information in the Endorsement / restrictions box

13.4

14.

Printing a Ticket (HE TTP)

Once you have created a PNR, price the itinerary with validating carrier /R, VC-xx and entered the 2 mandatory fare remarks elements (FP,FM), you can issue the ticket. When you request the system to issue a ticket, an Amadeus Interface Record (A.I.R.) is created from the information contained in the PNR and the TST. Amadeus transmits the A.I.R. to the ticketing server. Your keyboard is locked until a Ticket Record Acknowledgment (TRACK) is received from the ticket server and the e-ticket is printed, or a Ticket Reject (TREJ) message is received, and indicates that one or more errors have been found in the A.I.R. When a TREJ occurs, the appropriate error message is displayed on your screen. You need to correct the incorrect information and repeat the process. After the ticket has been issued, Amadeus receives a ticket number message which is stored in the PNR FA element. The TK element in the PNR is automatically changed to show when and where the ticket has been issued. You must always wait for the FA element to be returned to your PNR before modifying any elements in the PNR (ie. reconfirming the flight segments). 14.1 TTP entry (Command page)

Update
The ticketing arrangement is updated to OK with the e-ticket indicator (ET) and the two-character airline code of the validating airline (xx). The automated ticket number element is created with the 13digits ticket numbers, the e-ticket indicator (ET) and the twocharacter airline code of the validating airline(xx),the total ticket amount, the date of issue, the Amadeus office ID of the issuing office, the eight-digit IATA number of the issuing office, and the segment and passenger association, if applicable. The following information is airline-specific: After an e-ticket has been issued, you cannot modify FA or FB elements; you can only cancel them. If you want to reissue the ticket, you must either cancel FA or FB elements, or you must include TST or passenger association in your TTP entry. One FA element is created per passenger. The Amadeus Interface Record (A.I.R.) sequence number element is created with the 10-digits sequence number, the ticketing entry that was used to issue the ticket, and passenger and segment association. One FB element is created per TST

What Is an Amadeus Interface Record? The Amadeus Interface Record (A.I.R) is the record containing all pertinent ticketing information that is sent to a back office accounting system and/or ticket server. The FB element, which is automatically entered into a PNR by the system when you issue a ticket, contains the ten-digit A.I.R. sequence number. This is the entry used to generate the A.I.R., the passenger and the segment association. Note: The FB element is a permanent record in the PNR. You can cancel it but not modify it.

Passive Segments (HEPASSIVE.526)

Passive segments are used to insert flight segments that have been booked / reserved outside the Amadeus System. A passive segment is NOT a sell entry from the airline’s inventory (it is not an active booking in Amadeus System). These passive segments are mainly used for ticketing purposes. However, some airlines will charge a fee to the agent if passive segments are used. Amadeus is not responsible for the airlines’ charges. Calls should be made to the respective airlines to enquire if any charges apply for passive segments for those particular airlines. Amadeus is not responsible for all information being entered in the passive segments. Important note: Airline cancellation policy control on Passive Segment Airlines independently issue Agency Debit Memo (ADM) to Travel Agencies for Invalid Passive and Cancelled Active segments to manage their operational costs. In the direction of preventing ADMs in your Travel Agency’s operations, the following practices are recommended by Amadeus. Monitor the queue bank daily and remove all HX, UC and NO segments immediately in the Amadeus System. • Make reservation and issue ticket in the Amadeus System. • Avoid using Passive Segment. Whenever involve in sub-selling, please transfer the PNRs to the wholesaler directly if both parties are using Amadeus System. • Should you decide to use Passive Segment for ticketing, please bear in mind the airline treatment and ensure you cancel the passive segments immediately after ticketing. Subsequently, you MUST advise the ticket numbers to the airlines after issuing the tickets. • Delete all HX, UC, NO and passive segments after ticket issuance in Amadeus System. We would strongly urge all Amadeus users to consider implementing the above practices immediately. Amadeus will not be liable or responsible for any ADM claims arising from the following entries. • Entries:

16. Working with Airline Ticketing Fees
HE FEE GPOBF

What Are Airline Ticketing Fees?
Airline ticketing fees, also called OB fees, are defined and collected by the validating carrier and charged to the passenger when a ticket is first issued. These fees can be imposed to cover charges for a specific form of payment (credit card, for example) or for other ticketing services.

How Are Airline Ticketing Fees Applied to a Booking?
Effective 02Nov11, EUR5.00 credit card fees will be applied for any flight with validating carrier LH departing from DE, BE, FI, GB, CH and NL. Airline ticketing fees are defined by a five-character code. Examples: OBFCA Where OB stands for OB Fees and FCA for form of payment fee (F) for any type of credit card payment (CA). This is a generic credit card fee. Airlines can define any commercial name for each sub-code. Example: TICKET FEE, SERVICE FEE and so on. Airline ticketing fees' commercial names are displayed in the Airline Ticketing Fees List (TQO). For more information on how to display the Airline Ticketing Fees List, enter HE TQO in the Amadeus Information Pages.

Electronic Ticketing (HE ETT)

Electronic ticketing (e-ticketing) allows you to sell air transportation without issuing printed tickets. It also allows passengers to check in and board flights without holding printed tickets. An electronic ticket (e-ticket or ET) means that paper coupons are replaced by an e-ticket record that is stored in the Amadeus E-ticket Server (ETS) or in a carrier’s own e-ticket server. 17.1 General Conditions for E-Ticketing

In order for you to issue e-tickets, the following conditions are required: • • A new or retrieved PNR is present. In most cases, all flight segments in the itinerary must be with the same airline. This airline is the validating carrier. To verify if interlining is possible, refer to the Ticketing Agreement Table (TGAD / GGAIRXX entry) The airline’s record locator must have been returned. All flight segments in the same TST must be eligible for e-ticketing. The presence of the “E” indicator in the segment in the PNR is proof that the segment is eligible for e-ticketing. Every airline that supports electronic ticketing has its own conditions, and these conditions may vary between markets. Refer to HE ETT XX for airlines conditions on ETicketing.

Once an airline accepts an e-ticket request, the information is stored in the airline's electronic ticketing database (ETDB) as an e-ticket record. Once the e-ticket has been issued it can be displayed in Amadeus as long as the FA/FHE element containing the e-ticket number is present in the PNR.

Why Do You Need to Recalculate a Fare When You Reissue an E-Ticket? In the case of a reissue when a passenger has already used part of a ticket, you must recalculate the new itinerary with the fare that was applicable at the time the original ticket was issued. How to Recalculate a Fare for a Totally Unflown Itinerary HE FXP
How to... Reprice an existing TST without deleting it First display the TST you want to reprice with the TQT entry. The system takes into consideration the previously selected transfer/stopover points. However, the system does not consider the previously used discounts or negotiated fares, unless you request them once again in the FXP entry. Reprice an existing TST without deleting it, and include a discounted or negotiated fare. First display the TST you want to reprice with the TQT entry.

Repricing a totally unflown itinerary is only possible when flown segments are entered as passive segments (ghost segments), when ghost segments are allowed by the airline. For information about ghost segments, enter HE GK in the Amadeus Information Pages. To see if an airline allows ghost segments, enter HE ETT XX Where XX is the two-character airline code.

What You Should Know About Recalculating a Past Date Fare with Informative Pricing


When you want to use the FQP entry to recalculate a past date fare, you have to include the past travel date in the /D option, and the past ticket date in the /R field of the entry in DDMMMYY format. Make sure you enter a mandatory fare break point, as you have to recalculate from the last fare break point preceding the point of reissue. You must override the point of sale with the original point of sale. This is important as it can change the fare. From the ticket image, determine if there is any additional collection. If so, convert the additional collection and new taxes into the currency of the country where the reissue takes place. Use today's Bankers Selling Rate (BSR).

• • •

For more information on informative pricing entries, and a detailed description of the entries, enter HE FQP in the Amadeus Information Pages.

Creating the FO Element Automatically on Electronic Ticket

When you exchange an e-ticket you can also automatically display the FO element and enter it in the PNR. When you create the FO element in this way, the E coupon indicator, coupon numbers, and check digit are all created automatically. To display the FO element automatically, you must first display the passenger PNR, then enter: FO* If there is more than one FA or FHE element in the PNR you must specify the FA / FHE number: FO*L10 Once the FO line is displayed, mover the cursor up to the FO line, add any additional indicators or commands, then press ENTER. There is no need to include a Start of Entry at the beginning of the line, even if you cannot see one present. If there are multiple passengers and multiple FA elements present in your PNR, you must process each FA separately using segment- and passenger-association.
Note:

The date automatically created in the FO element is always today’s date. The rest of the information is taken from the Office ID and Office profile of the agent who performs the FO* entry. If you or your office did not originally issue the e-ticket, remember to update the information using the manual entry (refer previous page).

Amadeus Ticket Changer

Amadeus Ticket Changer allows you to automatically recalculate voluntary reissues and revalidations, and to automatically refund e-tickets based on the IATA industry standard. All fares that have the VC.Voluntary Changes category attached in the fare rule qualify for reissues and revalidations with Ticket changer. To verify if a fare rule contains the Voluntary Changes category, enter FQNxx*VC in the Amadeus distribution system (xx to be replaced by the FQD line number of the fare rule you want to display).The airline stipulates in this category whether a ticket can be reissued or revalidated. Notes: Wholly unused tickets are available for unlimited reissues or revalidations .Partially used tickets can only be reissued once For more information on Amadeus Ticket Changer, enter HE ATC in the Amadeus distribution system. How Amadeus Ticket Changer Works When passenger decides to change his itinerary, you have six options with Ticket Changer after you have rebooked the itinerary: 1. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer informative pricing (FXF) 2. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer confirmed pricing (FXQ) 3. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer informative pricing (FXF) followed by a confirmed pricing (FXQ) 4. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer Best Pricer informative pricing (FXE) 5. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer Best Pricer confirmed pricing (FXO). 6. You can request an Amadeus Ticket Changer informative pricing (FXE) followed by a Best Pricer confirmed pricing (FXO) 7. The difference between the informative and the confirmed pricing entries is that with informative pricing the system does not store a reissue TST and no changes are made to the PNR, whereas with the confirmed pricing it creates and stores TST. Possible Itinerary Changes with Amadeus Ticket Changer You can make the following itinerary changes when using Ticket Changer: • Travel date • Flight number • Booking class • Routing changes (domestic and/or international) • Once you have made the necessary modifications on your passenger itinerary and introduced the pricing entries, the system will process the best pricing solution according to the reissue conditions.

Sales reports can now be generated directly from the Tickets and Documents area. Authorized agents can choose a report and selected criteria to display it, and then take action such as: • • • • • Print View details Void transactions Refund View other reports

19.1

Working with the Sales Reports

Amadeus Central Ticketing transactions generate the storage of data in the Document Database (DOCDB). Sales report data is stored in the system for two months, and you can display sales report up to two months in the past from the current date. You can request reports and queries of the Document Database, which include statistics for office accounting, statistics for the completion of sales reports, and ticketing activity data generated during the current sales period. Use the Sales Reports screen within the Ticket and Documents area to display sales reports. 1. Select a report from the drop-down list. 2. From the criteria section, click on Options to display a drop-down menu showing all search options to apply to the report. Select as many options as you want by clicking on them one by one. The options listed in the Advanced Options sub-menu(such as the transaction type or the client ID) are mutually exclusive, which means that you can only select one advanced option from the list.

Page 102 Amadeus Fares & Ticketing Manual - July 2012 © Copyright 2012 • Amadeus IT Group, S.A. All rights reserved • Unauthorized use and disclosure strictly forbidden

Note: The list of available options varies according to the selected sales report. The options that you selected are memorized and side as your default search criteria the next time you start the application. 3. Fill in the search criteria fields. 4. Click on Display Report. A Link at the bottom of the report allows you to display the next page up to the end of the report. 5. Click on Print the report. The system prints the full report, not only the page displayed on your screen. Note: If you want to print the report on the printer other than the default printer, Enter the printer reference.

What Happens When a Refund Is Processed? • A refund document is created in the document database for reporting purposes.


Depending on the refund table for your stock provider, the TRFP entry may also generate the appropriate refund document, such as a refund notice. The refund notice is printed on OKI printer - format according to IATA standards. If you make the TRFP entry from a refund record that has already been processed, the system simply reprints the refund document (refund notice). The coupon status of electronic documents is changed to R for refunded. If your refund request for an electronic document is successful, the refund notice will be printed and you will receive the settlement authorization code (SAC) from the airline database.

20.2 Initiating a Partial Refund What You Should Know Before Initiating a Partial Refund
When a passenger has not flown all the segments of a ticket you must initiate a partial refund. Before you start to process the refund, you must find out how much you are entitled to refund and which taxes you can refund.

What Methods Exist for Initiating a Partial Refund?
The TRF entry initiates the partial refund process, allowing you to display and (if required) update a refund record without processing it. If the sales information is still held in the document database, the refund record will include fare and tax information from the passenger's travel documents. Otherwise, the refund record is blank.

How to Update a Refund Record
Once you have initiated the refund by displaying the refund record, you can update it with TRFU entries so that it contains the exact details of the refund the passenger is entitled to. Some fields in the refund record can be updated for any type of refund, while other fields depend on the refund table of your stock provider. Airlines can also put more restrictions in the refund exception table of a market. Some fields can only be updated if you are working with a blank refund record.
