TICKETING ELEMENTS
The following elements are applicable for both electronic and paper tickets.

VALIDATING CARRIER
The validating or ticketing carrier must be a carrier that the issuing office is
authorised to ticket, and most often appears in the itinerary (normally as the
first sector).
FVCO Validating carrier CO

FVCO/S2 Validating carrier segment 2 (more than 1 TST
must exist to segment relate)

COMMISSION
If issuing a published IATA fare Amadeus will automatically check the
commission levels from the general commission table at the time of ticketing.

Commission will need to be added manually if the default commission needs
to be overridden, if the airline concerned does not appear in the commission
tables, or if a BT/IT/Net Remit ticket is to be issued.

If the commission level is entered manually, the system will generate a
warning message at the time of ticketing:

MANUAL FM OVERIDES AUTOMATED COMMISSION PROCESSING
If this occurs the TTP (ticket to print) entry must be entered again to override
the warning.

FM9 Commission 9 percent

FM20.00A Commission fixed at a specific amount (eg £20.00)

FM0 No commission

See ‘HE FM’ for further information.

Note: In the PNR you will see FMPAX*P*9/S2/P1
Note
*P* = Commission through manual capping or semi-auto capping
*C* = System generated commission and
C*
*M* = Manual commission

TICKETING – FIRST ISSUE

ELECTRONIC TICKETING
Electronic ticketing (eticketing) allows you to send ticketing information directly
to the airlines so that passengers can check in at the airport and board flights
without printed tickets.

The following conditions apply for eticketing:
• The flight segments in the booking must be eligible for eticketing (‘E’
‘E’
should appear at the end of each segment)
• The validating airline must support eticketing in Amadeus Selling Platform
• The validating airline’s record locator must be present for all sectors to be
eticketed.
• Interlining etickets is only permitted if advised by the airline
• In most cases Passive and Ghost segments cannot be eticketed
• Combinations of etickets and paper tickets are not permitted on the same
TST.
• Restrictions may apply for the number of passengers permitted on a
booking for eticketing.
• Some airlines do not support infant eticketing.

ELECTRONIC TICKET PRINTING
PRINTING
From 1st February 2006, all ticketing defaults will be set to issue etickets.
Where a PNR is not valid for eticketing, paper tickets will be issued instead.

When an eticket is issued it is created in the airline system (hence no
coupon), the image is projected into Amadeus. An agent coupon and
passenger receipt are produced which print to an itinerary printer. From 1st
February 2006, BSP will not allow these coupons to be printed on an ATB
printer.

Amadeus will end your booking when you use the Ticket Print entry. There
must be a current Received From field at the top of the PNR.

Once all the system checks have been made and the ETKT data record sent
to the airline an OK to ticket response similar to the one below is returned by
the target airline, this is known as a TRACK
OK- ETICKET

The confirmation from the airline then generates the following information in
the PNR:

RETRIEVING AN ETICKET RECORD
ETICKET
FROM A PNR
Details of etickets issued are viewable in the Amadeus PNR but the actual
Electronic Ticket is held by the target airline. This means that the request to
display an individual eticket results in a query, and the communication is with
the airline’s eticket database

TWD Display eticket record if only one FA element exists in the PNR

TICKET STATUS CODES
The eticket records that are held in the owner airline's database are allocated
a status code per flight coupon. Each flight coupon’s status code is displayed
in the eticket record. The codes indicate whether an ETKT can be voided or if
it can be exchanged/reissued, revalidated or refunded. The status code must
be ‘O’ or ‘Open’ to allow any modifications. The coupon status can only be

MANUAL FARE BUILD AND TICKETING ELEMENTS
A manual stored ticket is a fare that has been created manually, or an
automatic TST that has been updated manually. A manual TST will be used
only when it is not possible to force a fare into the booking and modify it.
Many of the same entries will be used to update the fare when exchanging
tickets. The pricing indicator ‘M’ indicates that the TST was manually stored
or updated.

Create a blank ticket shell for the fare to be built. Amadeus automatically
creates separate TST’s per passenger type (e.g. adults, children, infants)

TTC Transitional Ticket Create

TTC/P1 (as above) Passenger 1 only

TTC/S3-
TTC/S3-5 (as above) Segments 3 to 5 only

Note: The code PAX refers to all adult and child passengers, excluding
Note
infants. The code INF refers to infants only, excluding all other passengers.

TTC/INF Transitional Ticket for Infants only

TQT Redisplay the unfinished Manual TST

Important Note: Once you have created the shells, you display them in the

LINE ENTITLEMENTS
Because the fare basis, validity dates and baggage allowance may differ for
each segment you can insert line numbers (lines relate to the line numbers in
the TST)

TTK/L1/A23K
TTK/L1/A K Baggage for Line 1 only is 23 kilos

TTK/L /V
TTK/L2/V
/V10JUN/A
/APC
/A Line 2 not valid before 10 June, Line 2
baggage allowance PIECE system

TTK/A30K
TTK/A Baggage allowance for all sectors is 30 kilos

MULTIPLE ELEMENTS
When building or modifying a TST, more than one element can be added at a
time, using the / (oblique) to separate eg.

TTK/BBIT/C
TTK/B /CLON SA JNB SA LON END/I
/C /IGBP100.00/X

V15NOV15NOV/L /A /V
/L2/A /V22NOV22NOV
/L /APC/V

Note: It does not matter in which order you enter the elements, but you must
Note
add the common elements first. This means that line entitlement indicators
(e.g. L1) must go after the common elements such as Baggage Allowance.

Amadeus assumes everything after the line indicator (e.g. L1) relates to that
line until the next line is specified (e.g. L2)

DIFFERENT TSTS
Where more than 1 TST exists specify the TST number to modify

TTK/T1/B

NET REMIT TICKETS
Net Remit Ticketing displays a published fare on the ticket, although the
passenger may have paid a significantly cheaper fare.

If the airline allows you to force a published fare regardless of the class
booked, follow the next steps. If the airline does not allow a fare to be forced
a manual TST must be built, SEE MANUAL FARE BUILDSTEP BY STEP,
PAGE 22.

After making the reservation in the class advised by the airline:

Step 1

IT OR BT TICKETS
Special contract fares do not show an amount on the actual ticket. IT or
Inclusive Tour fares are normally sold in conjunction with other products, eg
cars or hotels. BT or Bulk Tour fares are normally sold seat only.

Because a non published fare basis is used, you can either build a manual
fare, or force in a fare basis from the FQD and modify the required elements.

Step1
Choose a fare from the correct cabin e.g. Y for economy from the FQD (Fare
Quote Display list).

ISSUE WITH PART PAYMENT BY MCO
PAYMENT
If an MCO has been issued by and airline as a credit towards future travel and
is being redeemed against a new booking, the transaction is treated as an
exchange and the following steps should be followed:

Step 1:

outlined in the first issue section of the manual.

Step 2:

Insert the validating carrier and not valid after dates.

VOIDING AN ETICKET
Tickets can only be voided on the day of issue BEFORE midnight. Several
restrictions apply when voiding an eticket, these are:

• Tickets that have been exchanged CANNOT be voided but must be
refunded or reissued again

• Tickets must be voided through the airline’s eticket record

• Once a ticket is voided the process CANNOT be reversed or altered in any
way. Tickets must be issued again

• The coupon status MUST be ‘O’ for Open in the eticket record

Step 1
TWD Display the eticket record

TWD/L Display etcket record by FA line

If the ticket is not displayed the following error message will show.

NO ET RECORD IN AAA

Step 2

REVALIDATING AN ETICKET
Revalidation of an eticket is applicable only for change of flight number, dates
or time of flights. If there is a change of routing and/or booking class, an
exchange must be performed regardless of whether an additional collection is
required. Please note that revalidation is only permitted where no additional
collection is required*.
The eticket is not updated automatically with any changes in the passenger’s
itinerary. The changes must be manually amended and the etickets must be
revalidated to reflect the new changes
A record of the revalidation is made in the eticket Display History

STEPS TO REVALIDATE AN ETICKET

The FA element is amended to reflect any changes in the segments altered. In
the event that all segments of the original itinerary were cancelled and
rebooked, so that the original FA element no longer exists on the face of the
PNR, then a FH element containing the ticket number of the existing ETKT
has to be added to the existing or new PNR. This has to be segment and
passenger associated to the applicable new segments and passenger.

125-
FHE 125-0123456789 Manually add electronic ticket number.
Ticket number can be found in the booking
history.

Note: A new Electronic Ticketing Passenger itinerary receipt is not produced
on revalidation. If the passenger requires a record of the new flight details, a
normal host itinerary has to be printed

*NB – Some airlines will permit a revalidation if there is no change to the route, but a
change fee applies to the fare. In this case, the change fee needs to be collected by
Automated MCO. Please check with the individual airline and see Amadeus
Automated MCO Manual for steps to issue an Automated MCO for a rebooking fee.

EXCHANGE/REISSUE OF TICKETS
If there are any changes on a booking other than date, flight number or times,
or in there is an additional collection to be paid for the change then a ticket
must be reissued.

The eticket record MUST always be displayed prior to any action being
taken on a booking.
Please note that it is not possible to make a name change on an eticketed
booking. If a name change is required the original eticket should cancelled
and submitted for a refund as per airline conditions, and a new ticket issued
with the correct name.

Please also note that if an exchange is processed on a ticket with an
equivalent value, the equivalent amount in GBP should always be added back
in, otherwise it will not be possible to correctly process a refund
(TTK/EUSD500.00)
TTK/EUSD500.00).

ADDITIONAL
EXCHANGE WITH NO ADDITIONAL COLLECTION
Normally in the case of a minor change ie date, flight number, flight times an
eticket will be revalidated, however if there is a change to routing or another
major change then the ticket should be reissued.

Step 1
Make necessary itinerary changes. This is based on at least 1 original sector
of the itinerary remaining live so that the original TST is not deleted.

Step 2

EXCHANGE WITH DELETED TST
DELETED
When the original TST is no longer present in the itinerary it will be necessary
to rebuild the fare. This may happen if the TST is deleted in error, or if there
is an amendment to all sectors of the itinerary.

The fare can either be built using the TTC entry, or a fare can be forced and
modified using FXP. The entire TST can then be amended in reissue mode.

Step 1
TWD Display the eticket record (not applicable for paper
tickets)
TWD/L10 Display eticket record by FA line no.


Step 2
Make necessary updates to the itinerary and check the change
conditions/penalties.

The original fare information can be found in the TST history.
TQT Display all stored fares (includes list of historical)
TTH/T1A Display specific historical fare.

Step 3, Option1
FQDLONPAR/ABA/20JUN View fare quote display, select fare.

FXP/L-
FXP/L-Y2BA Force fare into booking

TTK/EXCH Process the exchange

***Skip to stage 7 if fare inserted using above method***

Step 3, Option 2
TTC Initiate manual fare build

Build the fare manually, as per a manual fare build (inserting fare basis,
validity dates, baggage allowance, base fare, tax, fare calc etc). Please see
the end of this section for tips on how to rebuild the fare using the TST history.

The fare can either be rebuilt using the reissue codes (see below), or it can be
built as a normal manual fare build, and then the exchange processed
(TTK/EXCH ***Skip to stage 6/7 if this method is used***
TTK/EXCH)
TTK/EXCH

Training Department

Step 4
Taxes that are already paid should be updated to show as original. If the
exchange is processed in a normal reissue this will happen automatically. If it
is being done manually, the original paid taxes should be re entered added as
‘O’ or original taxes.

TTK/O15GB/O35YQ/O9.30UB etc - Insert original taxes

The original taxes that still display as ‘X’ to signify unpaid should be removed

TTK/X Delete all ‘new’ taxes
TTK/X2 Delete a specific tax

Step 5
TTK/CBUILD Insert fare calculation line (blank)
TTK/CLON BA JNB863…… Insert fare calculation line (see page 20 for

can be retrieved from the TST history (please ensure that you retrieve the
correct historical display, eg TTH/T1A The relevant section of the history
TTH/T1A).

XF/Y GBP508.00/OGBP82.00YQAC/OGBP20.00GBAD/OGBP11.90UBAS/
OGBP7.40RSAE/OGBP2.00QVDP/OGBP8.60DYAE/TGBP75.00

This can be copied and pasted into the new fare build, closing the gap
between Y and GBP508.00.

For example TTK/YGBP508.00/OGBP82.00YQAC/OGBP20.00GBAD/OGBP
TTK/
11.90UBAS/OGBP7.40RSAE/OGBP2.00QVDP/OGBP8.60DYAE/TGBP75.0

The same principle can be followed to insert the fare calculation line.

The exchange (TTK/EXCH fare basis, validity dates and baggage allowance
TTK/EXCH),
TTK/EXCH
should be processed as for a normal reissue, and the above steps followed
from step 8.

Training Department

1- COLLECTION,
EXCHANGE WITH ADDITIONAL COLLECTION with/without additional
collection, see pages 31/33

Step 7 – Remove the net fare amount
TTK/NF

Step 8 – Following the exchange the FP line will change to FPO. Again this
should be deleted. There must be one FPO line per passenger. The format
for inserting the reissue form of payment is as follows:
FPO/NR+NONREF AGT/NR+
FPO/NR+ /NR+NONREF AGT/100
/NR+ /

Step 9 - Add original ticket number and additional ticketing information to
show as FO or original form of issue.
