Online Help Pages
Welcome to Amadeus Help! Our online help system provides a comprehensive description of all the
entries available in the Amadeus central system. It is constantly updated to ensure you have the
most current support for using the system effectively. You can access help information at any time,
even before signing in, by simply entering "HELP" or "HE".
For example, to access the index for the "Fares" subject, enter "HE FARES".
The index lists all the pages within that subject and provides instructions on how to navigate to each
page. To go to the introduction page, enter "GP INT".
You can request help for any transaction code used in Amadeus by entering "HE" followed by the
transaction code, such as "HE FQD".
Additionally, quick path entries starting with "HE" can be found in the main help index, alphabetical
index, or within pages. For instance, "HE TICKETING", "HE TICKET", or "HE TIC" are quick paths for
ticketing-related help.
If you make an entry error, the system will display an error message. In such cases, you can access
online help for the incorrectly entered transaction code by entering "HE/".
If your error involves a multi-element entry, Amadeus will display the help page for the first
transaction code used in the entry. Typically, each help page begins with an example of the basic
entry for that application.
Each help page contains a table of contents that lists the sections and provides instructions on how
to display them. For example, to navigate to the section starting on line 106, enter "MS106".

Availability
Availability in the context of Amadeus Air includes flights from any airline that has a sales agreement
with Amadeus. Amadeus Availability is a **feature** that allows you to display flights with at least
one seat available for sale or waitlist in any booking class, based on the transaction code and
parameters you use to request the display. You can use different options to customize your
availability display, such as airline code, connection point, time window, class of service, etc.
Schedule
Schedules in Amadeus refer to the display of all flights operated by airlines that submit their
schedule information to Amadeus. This comprehensive schedule display includes flights from airlines
that have a sales agreement with Amadeus. For these airlines, availability status codes by class of
service are also included in the schedule displays. Amadeus also allows users to access schedules of
airlines that do not have a sales agreement with Amadeus. However, it's important to note that
while you can view these flights, you cannot sell them through Amadeus. The ability to sell these
flights is restricted to airlines with sales agreements in place.
19
Timetable
An Amadeus timetable is a display that shows flights operating during a specified one-week period. It
includes flights from all airlines that submit their schedule information to Amadeus. Additionally, the
timetable display allows users to view flights of airlines that do not have a sales agreement with
Amadeus. However, it's important to note that timetable displays do not show classes of service. The
focus of the timetable is to provide an overview of flight schedules rather than detailed information
about specific classes or fare options.
Neutral Display:
A neutral display (AN or SN) presents flights departing up to one hour before the specified departure
time. If no specific time is provided, the display includes flights departing up to one hour before the
current time (for the current date) or flights departing from 0000 (midnight) on the day of departure
(for a future date).
20
The order of flights described below applies to all types of availability and schedule display for
European Union regulations except USA.
1. Non-stop flights, by departure time (earliest to latest)
2. Direct flights, by elapsed flight time (shortest to longest)
3. Flights with an equipment change en-route and connections by elapsed flight time
Two and three segment connections, online connections, and interline connections are not sorted.
European Union regulations apply in most Amadeus market except the US Market.

Definitions and Details Regarding Booking Violations
Churning:
Churning refers to the practice of repetitively canceling and rebooking the same trip. Travel agents
engage in churning for a few reasons, such as reserving seats for an extended period when they
shouldn't or adhering to specific time limits set by the airline's system. However, this practice is not
authorized. Airlines possess backend data that enables them to identify churning by analyzing booking
information. Engaging in churning is a violation of regulations and falls under the purview of the ADM
(Agent Debit Memo) policy if travel agents are found to be involved.
O&D Violations:
Travel agents are responsible for booking flights between specific origins and destinations. However,
there are instances when travel agents attempt to manipulate bookings in a deceptive manner. This
involves not utilizing the actual available flights that can effectively transport passengers to their
intended destination. This infraction is referred to as an O&D violation. Properly booking the entire
journey, from the starting point to the final destination, is crucial. Failure to adhere to this guideline
can result in booking cancellations and subject the issued tickets to an ADM, in accordance with airline
policies.
22
Amadeus Availability
An Amadeus availability display provides information on all flights that have at least one seat
available for sale or on the waitlist. It includes flights from airlines that have a sales agreement with
Amadeus. The availability display is determined based on the transaction code and parameters used
when requesting the display. By specifying the desired criteria, such as date, origin, destination, and
other relevant parameters, users can retrieve a comprehensive view of flight options that meet their
specified criteria and are available for booking or wait listing.
The Transaction code for a neutral availability is (AN) or neutral schedule is (SN).
To request A different type of display, replace AN or SN with any of the following:
For One-way routing AN 11JUL KHIDXB
For Specific Time AN 11JUL KHIDXB 0900
For Specific Carrier AN 11JUL KHIDXB / A FZ
For Specific Class AN 11JUL KHIDXB / C V

24
Direct Access
With direct access, you gain immediate entry to the reservation systems of major airlines. Utilizing
standard Amadeus entries, you can access real-time information about seat availability through a
direct link between Amadeus and the airline's reservation system. This direct connection allows you
to view the last available seat on a flight without the risk of the airline rejecting the booking after the
transaction ends. Even flights marked as "on request" or waitlisted on other Amadeus displays can
be sold through this method. In a direct access display, you have the ability to see up to a maximum
of 26 classes of service.
All Amadeus users have the privilege of directly accessing the inventory systems of airlines that
maintain a direct access agreement with Amadeus. However, it's important to note that the link
between Amadeus and the airline inventory system is available for a limited duration of 3 minutes.
To take advantage of direct access, when you know that the airline has such an agreement with
Amadeus, simply enter the number "1" followed by the two-characters airline code.
Please note that the Availability-by-departure time (AD) transaction code should be used
exclusively. For example: 1WYAD23SEPKHIMCT
For instance, to display Amadeus availability and apply changes for a specific line number of the
required airline (e.g., TK709 on line number 2 of the Amadeus Display Screen), you should enter:
"ACL2".
25
Carrier-Preferred Display
With the Carrier-Preferred Display feature, you have the option to request an availability, schedule,
or timetable display that is tailored to the preferences of a specific airline. This functionality is
available for any airline that has a Carrier-Preferred Display agreement with Amadeus.
The Carrier-Preferred Display shows flights that the airline itself has chosen to display for the route
specified in your entry. This includes the airline's own flights as well as flights operated by partner
airlines. Additionally, the display may include flight connections or routings that are not typically
shown on a neutral availability display due to long flying times or excessive mileage.
This type of availability display proves particularly useful when a customer wishes to travel
exclusively on a particular airline or on other airlines or flights that are selected by the target airline.
When requesting Carrier-Preferred Availability, you can use any of the available display options to
suit your specific requirements.
26
Amadeus Dual City Pair Availability
In Amadeus, the Dual City Pair Availability feature allows users to check the availability of flights
between two cities for both the outbound and inbound journeys simultaneously. This feature is
especially useful when planning round-trip or return flights or onward flights as it provides a
comprehensive view of available options for both legs of the journey in a single search. By using this
functionality, travelers and travel agents can quickly find suitable flight combinations for their travel
itineraries.
To request Round-trip Availability, include an asterisk (*) followed by the Return Date at the end of
your entry. If the return is on the same day, there's no need to mention the date and return route
explicitly; the system will automatically display return flights departing one hour before 1800 on the
same day. For example: AN 16OCT KHIISB *
System Response
Outbound flights from KHI to ISB availability starts from line 1 in the display, while inbound flights
from ISB to KHI start from line 11.
27
For example, to request a display of available flights for the route JED (Jeddah) to RUH (Riyadh) after
08:00 hrs and RUH (Riyadh) to MED (Madinah) on the same day after 18:00 hrs., use the following
entry: AN 15OCT JEDRUH 0800 * RUHMED 1800
Outbound flights from JED (Jeddah) to RUH (Riyadh) availability starts from line 1 in the display,
while inbound or onward flights from RUH (Riyadh) to MED (Madinah) start from line 11.

Amadeus Seven-day search
Amadeus Seven-day search is a feature that allows you to search for flights within a 7-day range from
the date you specify in the availability entry. This is useful when searching for flights during peak
travel times or with limited frequency.
To search for flight availability from Doha (DOH) to Manila (MNL) on Qatar Airways (QR) for
December 18, use the following entry: AN 26DEC DOHMNL / A QR / C T
System Response
To request a 7-day search display, enter a slash (/) after the availability or schedule transaction code.
For example: AN / 26DEC DOHMNL / A QR / C T

Time Table
An Amadeus Timetable is a display of flights operating during a specified one-week period. The
display contains flights of all airlines that submit schedule information and have a sales agreement
with Amadeus.
32
Passenger Name Record - PNR
A Passenger Name Record (PNR) contains comprehensive details of a passenger's reservation and
other relevant information related to their trip. Each PNR is composed of various information items
known as elements. While a PNR can accommodate up to 999 elements, it is mandatory for it to
include the following five elements:
Itinerary Element (SS) This represents the booking for a flight or any other service.
Name Element (NM) This contains the passenger's name
Contact Element (AP) It includes a telephone number or contact information for the
person who made the booking.
Ticketing Element (TK) This element indicates the arrangements made for issuing a ticket
for the booking.
Received from Element (RF) This specifies the name of the person who made the booking.
Once you have entered these five mandatory elements, you can conclude the process by using an
end transaction entry (ET/ER) to file the record in the Amadeus central system. When the PNR is filed
in the system, it is assigned a unique six-character code known as a record locator. This record
locator can be used later to retrieve the specific PNR.
33
Sell Segment
An itinerary element within a Passenger Name Record (PNR) can encompass various travel
components, such as flights, hotels, cars, or ground transportation. Each individual component is
referred to as a segment. In a PNR, you can include up to 99 itinerary elements, and they are numbered
consecutively following the passenger's name.
Explanation:
SS Segment Sell Transaction Code
QR611 Airline Code and Flight Number
B Class of Service
15SEP Departure Date
KHIDOH Origin and Destination Airport Codes
4 or NN4 Number of Seats Requested

Sell from Availability (Short Entry)
If you already have availability or schedule display on your screen, you can make a short Sell segment
entry directly from that display.
System Response
35
Here are some examples of entries you can make when you want to book connecting flight in a
different class of service:
For Example:
1- Book 3 seats in M class on the first segment and K class on the second segment, both segments on
line 2 of availability display, Enter: SS3MK2
For Example:
2- Book 3 seats in M class on the first segment, L class on the second segment and B class for third
segment, all segments on line 1 of an availability Display, Enter: SS3MLB1
36
Name Element
The Name Entry is utilized for the following purposes:
• Inserting names for individual passengers into a PNR during its creation.
• Adding individual name elements for a group of passengers.
Having at least one name element is mandatory for both the creation of a PNR and concluding the
transaction on a retrieved PNR.
Please note that the surname should contain a minimum of two characters and can have up to 59
characters. Passenger type codes are used for fare pricing and creating SSR elements that specify
certain passengers' status.
Usually, only one type code can be entered per passenger, except for infant and id codes, which can
be combined with other type codes. The passenger type code should be placed between parentheses
immediately after the first name or title.
In this case, the passenger type code "YTH" indicates that the passenger is a youth.
37
For child passengers between the ages of 2 and 11, the type code "CHD" must be used. When
entering "CHD," the system generates an SSR element to inform the airline that the passenger is a
child and should be treated accordingly.
To enter the names for multiple passengers with the same surname/family name, use the
transaction code NM, followed by the Number of passengers sharing the Surname/Family name,
and then a Slash separating the Given name and Title of each passenger. Each passenger's details
are separated by a Slash.
38
Multiple Passengers with Different Surnames
When there are multiple surnames with individual passenger names for each, you can enter them in
a single entry. The transaction code NM is only required at the beginning of the entry for the first
passenger. Then, for each new passenger, simply include a slash to separate the given name and
title. For each passenger, the format is as follows:
• Transaction code NM (required only at the beginning of the entry for the first passenger)
• Surname
• Given name
• Title (if applicable)
For example, the entry for multiple passengers with different surnames will look like this:
NM1SYED/ALI MR 1KHAN/SHER MR
System Response
You can enter multiple surnames using a semicolon at the end of every title.
NM1SYED/ALI MR; NM1KHAN/SHER MR
System Response
39
Passenger with an Infant
For infants traveling with an adult passenger, there is a special passenger type code (INF). This type
code is exceptional as it is entered with the accompanying adult passenger.
System Response

40
Contact Field
When creating a Passenger Name Record (PNR) or retrieving an existing one, it is essential to include
a contact element to indicate where passengers can be reached. Each passenger within the PNR
must be covered by a contact element. A PNR can accommodate a maximum of 127 contact
elements, and each contact element is constructed using the transaction code AP, followed by 1-90
characters of free-flow text.
For instance, to enter a home contact, you would use the following format: APH- KHI 4588777
Explanation:
APH- Contact Transaction Code for Home
KHI City code of the Telephone Number
4588777 Telephone Number
In addition to telephone contact elements, you can also enter e-mail contact elements using the
following format:
41
Ticket Arrangement
A Ticketing Arrangement element, also known as a TK element, must be included in the PNR to
indicate the status of ticket issuance for all passengers in the reservation. Before the system accepts
the end of the transaction, the ticket arrangement element must be present in both newly created
and retrieved PNRs. The maximum number of active ticketing arrangement elements allowed for
each PNR is 127.
Each airline has its own time limit process, which involves updating the PNR with OSI (Other
Service Information) Element, OP (Option) Element, or SSR (Special Service Request) element,
along with the required time limit to keep the PNR active. However, it's important to note that this
ticketing arrangement may sometimes conflict with the chosen time limit or TST (Transitional
stored ticket record) Expiry, depending on the market setup or the last date of ticketing.
Additionally, you may use the following codes for specific ticket arrangements:
• TL: Ticket time limit is used to request ticket issuance on a specific date and time, either in your
office or another location. This results in automatic queue placement to queue 8, Category C1.
Entry: TKTL19JUL/1200
• XL: This identifier enables the itinerary to be automatically cancelled when the date entered in
the TK Element is reached. The system will automatically cancel the Itinerary (XI) and end the
transaction (ET). The cancellation takes place at the local date and time.
Entry: TKXL19JUL/1200
42
Received From
The Received From (RF) element serves to indicate who has given you instructions to create or
update a reservation. Including the RF element is mandatory. Once you have created or modified a
PNR, you cannot file it unless there is a present RF element. During the current session, the RF
element is visible in the PNR, and when the PNR is filed at the end of the transaction, it is recorded in
the PNR history.
The basic entry for the Received From field consists of the transaction code RF, followed by the
name of the responsible person. You have the flexibility to enter the name in any format. The RF
element can contain a maximum of 69 characters, including spaces.
Explanation:
RF Received from transaction code
MR ALI Free-flow text representing the name of the person responsible for
the reservation
System Response
43
End of Transaction
Once you have entered the five mandatory elements to create a PNR, it is essential to end the
transaction and file the record in the system. To do this, simply enter: ET
To end the transaction and redisplay the PNR on your screen, you can use the entry: ER
With a single entry, you can not only end the transaction but also change advice codes in the PNR.
This entry allows you to modify advice codes in the Air, Hotel, Car, and auxiliary segments, as well as
SSR elements.
Elements containing the codes NO, UN, and UC are transferred to the history section of the PNR.
Additionally, associated elements like the FA or FB element are either updated or removed from the
PNR, effectively closing it. Entry: ET K
Elements containing the codes NO, UN, and UC are transferred to the history section of the PNR.
Additionally, associated elements, such as the FA or FB element, are updated or removed from the
PNR. After performing this action, you can re-display the PNR on your screen using the entry: ER K
Note:
It is crucial to cancel all "HX" segments from the Amadeus PNR for Non-Amadeus Airlines.
Failure to remove "HX" segments may result in the airline raising ADMs (Agent Debit Memos) to the
travel agency.
44
Ignoring Transaction:
The "ignore" entry allows you to disregard all entries made during the current PNR session.
When you create a new PNR, using the ignore entry will remove any record of the PNR from the
system. However, any entries currently displayed on the screen will remain until the screen is
cleared. The basic entry for this function is: IG
System Response:
-IGNORED- For a newly created PNR
-IGNORED-ABC123 for a retrieved PNR
To move single or multiple active elements from the face of a PNR to PNR history and send a
cancellation message to the vendor (e.g., Airline, Car, Hotel, etc.), you can use the "cancel" entry
with the code "XE"
Examples:
• To cancel the element on line 2, enter: XE 2
• To cancel the elements on line 2, and 3, enter: XE 2-3
• To cancel the elements on line 2, and 4, enter: XE 2,4
• To cancel all active itinerary elements of the PNR, use: XI
• To cancel a seat request element on line 6, enter: SX 6

Other Service Information (OSI)
An OSI (Other Service Information) element includes specific details about a passenger or passengers
in the PNR, which are transmitted to the airlines listed in the itinerary. an OSI element does not
require confirmation from the airline.
The mandatory components in an OSI entry are the transaction code OS and the two-letter code of
the airline to which the information will be sent. If the OSI element applies to all airlines in the
itinerary, enter YY as a common code.
The entry is limited to a maximum of 68 characters, and a PNR can contain up to 127 OSI elements.
53
Special Service Request (SSR)
An SSR (Special Service Request) is a specific request made to an airline for providing particular
facilities to a passenger or passengers. To initiate a special service request, you use an SR entry,
which generates an SSR element in the PNR and sends a request message to the relevant airline(s).
To create SSR elements for all flight segments in an Amadeus PNR, you should enter SR followed by a
four-character service code. For instance, if you want to request a vegetarian meal, enter: SR VGML
For IATA-Meal Codes, enter the appropriate code in the format: HE MEAL CODE

Secure Flight Passenger Data (S.F.P.D)
As part of the Secure Flight Program, airlines are required to submit mandatory passenger data to
the TSA (Transportation Security Administration), a department of the US Department of Homeland
Security. Therefore, starting from 1st October 2010, all travel agents are obligated to provide the
SFPD (Secure Flight Passenger Data) for any flights to the US in the PNR (Passenger Name Record).
Travel agents must input the Secure Flight Passenger Data using the SRDOCS entry, which must
include the Passenger's Name (as per Passport), Date of Birth, and Gender at least 72 hours prior to
the flight. The format/entry for this data is as follows: SRDOCSQR HK1-----15JAN69-M--SYED-ALI/P2
SR Transaction code (Mandatory)
DOCS SSR code for APIS primary travel document (Mandatory)
QR Airline code where message to be sent (Mandatory)

Frequent Flyer
Many airlines provide frequent flyer programs to reward passengers who frequently travel with
them. These programs vary from airline to airline, offering special benefits to their loyal customers.
Each frequent flyer is assigned a unique identification number associated with their account. In
Amadeus, airlines maintain a database containing frequent flyer records, which includes the
following information:
To view the table of airlines with agreements for frequent flyer programs, enter: VFFD
For frequent flyer passengers, you can perform the following transactions:
To display the name of a passenger as stored in the frequent flyer database of an airline, enter: FFD
• To create a name element and enter a frequent flyer SSR (Special Service Request) FQTV
(Frequent Traveler/Voyager) element for mileage accrual, enter: FFA
• If the name element for the frequent flyer has already been entered in the PNR and you only
want to add the SSRFQTV element for mileage accrual, enter: FFN
This entry creates an SSR FQTV for an existing name element in the PNR. If there is more than one
name element in the PNR, passenger association is mandatory in the entry.

Advance Seat Request
An advance seating request allows passengers to reserve specific seats at the time of booking with
the airline. Such requests can only be made for flight segments with one of the following status
codes: HK, RR, KK, TK, LK, SS. Each Passenger Name Record (PNR) can include a maximum of 127
seating SSR elements.
You can specify a preferred area of the aircraft by adding one or more of the following area codes:
• W: Window
• A: Aisle
• B: Bulkhead
Examples:
To request a smoking window seat, enter: ST /S/W
To request a specific seat number, enter: ST /R/12A
59
PNR History
In the Amadeus central system, every created Passenger Name Record (PNR) is accompanied by
associated historical information. This historical data serves as a record of the PNR's creation and any
subsequent additions, modifications, cancellations, or deletions made to it. The system updates the
PNR history at the end of each transaction entry.
To display the entire history of the current PNR, without queue history, enter : RH
The PNR header line is displayed at the top of the history. Following that, each activity within the
PNR is listed as a numbered element. The assigned number for each element indicates the sequence
of when the activity took place. For instance, activities related to the initial creation of a PNR are
numbered as 000, while activities from the first retrieval of the PNR are numbered 001, from the
second retrieval 002, and so forth. Each retrieval and set of modifications are referred to as a step.
When an element is modified, cancelled or deleted, it appears in history with two numbers .
60
The first number (000) indicates the stage at which the item was originally entered in the PNR. The
second number (0006) indicates when the modification, cancellation or deletion was made.

Segment Re-Book (Should Be Commands)
The segment re-book commands, also identified as "Should Be" commands due to the command
identifier SB, allow you to modify existing segments in a PNR to make changes to the following:
• Class of service in one or more segments
• Date in one or more segments
• A combination of both class and date
Please note that changes cannot be made to open segments, information segments, non-
participating airline segments, passive segments, and group PNRs. The SB command cancels the
existing segments and re-books them using the new information. All elements associated with the
segment(s) being re-booked are automatically canceled by the system. If the system is unable to
confirm the new flight, it will display an availability screen for the requested date.
62
Copy / Clone PNR
With the copy PNR entry, you can copy data from a retrieved PNR in order to create a new PNR. The
actual elements that are copied from one PNR into another depend on the kind of entry you use
(RRN, RRA, RRI or RRP). In some cases, you can also specify options that select which data is to be
copied.
63
Individual PNR Security in Amadeus
Amadeus offers the capability to set up special security rules for accessing a specific Passenger Name
Record (PNR) by one or more offices.
PNR security functions allow access to a PNR even without any other existing special agreements.
These security rules can override the agreements specified in the current security tables. With PNR
security, you can share PNR viewing and updating capabilities without changing the ownership of the
PNR.
Read Access (R) Allows read-only access. Users can retrieve and view the PNR,
but no updates are permitted.
Read/Write Access (B): Allows read and write access. Users can retrieve PNRs, view
them, and make any necessary updates.
No Access (N) Provides no access. Users cannot retrieve any PNR, even if an
extended security agreement is in place
64
Splitting a PNR
If you need to modify a previously stored PNR, you will have to split it. As the term "split" suggests,
this process involves creating two separate PNRs: the original or parent PNR and the associated PNR.
You split a PNR when you wish to rebook a separate itinerary for one or more passengers, effectively
separating them from the original PNR. This separation is necessary because all passengers within a
PNR must have identical flight itineraries.
65
Amadeus Queues
Regularly working on your Amadeus queues is of utmost importance. These queues serve multiple
purposes, enabling you to:
PNRs may require further action for various reasons, such as:
• Segments, services, options, or seats from a waitlist that have not yet been confirmed
• A change in the office responsible for the PNR
• Modifications in the flight segment
• Adjustments in ticketing arrangements
• Expiration of the ticketing time limit
• Alterations in the group PNR
Both airlines and travel agents are provided with a queue bank, which automatically places PNRS and
messages in the appropriate queues.
The Amadeus Queue system functions as an electronic diary, assisting in the efficient management
of messages and reservations in your travel office. This system sorts reservations and messages into
three divisions:
• Queue Numbers: Automatically assigned by the system, they correspond to the type of action
required in the PNR.
• Categories: These are sub-divisions that further organize PNRS within the same queue based on
the specific action required in the PNR.
• Date Ranges: PNRS in the same queue and category are divided based on the urgency of the
action required.
By efficiently using Amadeus Queues, you can ensure streamlined operations and provide excellent
service to your clients.

Amadeus Informative Pricing
Amadeus Informative Pricing is a feature that allows you to calculate the fare and taxes for an
itinerary without having a segment or passenger in the booking file. You can also use it to calculate
the used fare and taxes when making a partial reissue or a partial refund on an e-ticket.
To use Informative Pricing, you can either use the graphic interface or the cryptic commands.
You must use Airport codes, rather than City codes, so that the system can calculate the appropriate
taxes. If you prefer, you can create a mask, and let the system guide you through different options.
You can calculate discount fares, including cumulative discounts.
FQP is applicable for past date fares up to seven days in the past for the US and Canada, 361 days
elsewhere, and twelve months into future, which in the Amadeus system is 361 days (12months).
If you do not enter any specific options to your entry, the system makes the following
assumptions:
• An adult passenger types.
• The current date for the first segment, and an open date for all the other segments
• An open booking classes. The system displays the lowest possible price for each class.
• YY fares for travel agencies, and carrier specific fare for airlines.
• Stopover all the cities.
You can perform informative pricing on an itinerary by entering the transaction code FQP, followed
by a City pair, or several City pairs.

Amadeus Best Buy Pricing
Amadeus Best Buy Pricing offers the convenience of finding the lowest available fare for a booked
itinerary. This powerful tool efficiently scans for lower fares and availability in both lower booking
classes and within the same booking class as the current reservation. It ensures that only fares suitable
for the specific itinerary and passenger type are suggested, considering various rule conditions such as
advance purchase, minimum and maximum stay requirements.
One of the key features of Best Buy is its ability to automatically rebook an itinerary in a lower
booking class using the highest access level. Alternatively, it can simply notify you of lower fares
without initiating any rebooking, allowing you to assess whether the suggested fare is suitable for
the passenger's needs before making any changes to the Passenger Name Record (PNR). The
flexibility extends further, as you have the option to decide whether or not to store the pricing
response in a TST (Ticketing Stored Fare).
In certain markets, Best Buy goes the extra mile by checking for lower fares across all cabins of the
aircraft, giving preference to the highest cabin when the same fare is available. In other markets, it
focuses on comparing lower fares solely within the same cabin as the already booked segment. For
specific details regarding the default setting in your market, you can always reach out to your local
Amadeus Help Desk.
Make the most of Amadeus Best Buy Pricing to effortlessly find the best fares for your passengers
and enhance their travel experience.

Amadeus Central Ticketing System
The Amadeus central system enables the automatic pricing of air itineraries for Passenger Name
Records (PNRs). This is achieved through the use of the FXP entry, which generates a Transitional
Stored Ticket (TST) containing all the necessary information to issue a ticket.
A TST can also be created when pricing is requested before the end of the transaction on the PNR. In
such cases, the newly created PNR must include the flight segments and a passenger name.
Each passenger is allowed a maximum of ten TSTs with different portions of the air itinerary. If
multiple TSTs are created, they must be associated with specific segments. When ticketing is
requested and more than one TST has been generated, the system requires the selection of TST
and/or segment numbers.
To view a TST, a TQT entry can be used to display its contents. Any modifications made to the PNR
result in the automatic appending of a PNR change message to the header line of the TST. Before
requesting ticketing, it is important to verify the validity of the TST and remove this message.
In cases where the system cannot automatically price the PNR, a TST can be manually created using
the TTC entry. The response to this entry will be an empty ticket panel.
• Using guided mode entries to fill in the TST panel fields with necessary information, or
• Using the format entry to enter information on the command line of the panel or in the PNR.
TSTs that are automatically created by the system are referred to as ASTs, while manually created
TSTs are known as MSTs.
Once the ticket is issued, Amadeus receives a ticket number message, which is stored in the PNR FA
element. Additionally, the TK element in the PNR is automatically changed to "TK" to indicate that
the ticket has been issued.

Bank Settlement Plans / Area Reporting Plans
When travel agencies issue tickets for a particular airline, they are required to report these sales to
the airline for payment purposes. To streamline this reporting process and make it more efficient,
IATA (International Air Transport Association) and the airlines have collaborated to establish
reporting plans. Airlines that wish to participate in these plans enter into agreements where they
accept payments from a third party, typically a bank. These plans are often known as Bank
Settlement Plans (BSPs) or Area Reporting Plans (ARPs). In the United States, the reporting plan is
referred to as ARC (Airline Reporting Corporation).
Each reporting plan, such as BSP or ARP, has its own dedicated record that encompasses all the
airlines participating in the plan. This BSP record is maintained in Amadeus by the Service
Management Centre. It is essential that every agency has a designated ticketing carrier, and if not, a
BSP code must be present in the office profile (field ARP). This requirement applies to all offices
authorized to issue tickets. The procedures and guidelines for BSPs are established by IATA in
Geneva.
For each country, there is a Plan Manager responsible for administering and overseeing the reporting
plan within that specific geographical area. The National System or National Distribution System
provides relevant BSP information to Amadeus.
To access information about the participants in the area reporting plan for a particular country, you
can use the following format: TGBD-XY (replace XY with the ISO country code). For instance, if you

Ticketing Agreement Table
A Ticketing (T) / PTA (P) / Electronic Ticketing (E) agreement table is maintained for each Amadeus Participating
carrier airlines, if the airline has provided this information. The purpose of the table is to define interline
ticketing, PT, and Electronic Ticketing agreements. For example: TGAD - QR/ LH
102
Electronic Ticket
an electronic ticket, commonly known as an e-ticket, refers to a digital or paperless form of ticketing
used to confirm a passenger's reservation and travel arrangements. Instead of receiving a physical
paper ticket, travelers are provided with an electronic record containing all the essential details of
their flight booking.
When a passenger purchases an e-ticket, the airline's computer system stores the ticket information,
and the traveler typically receives a confirmation email or itinerary as proof of their booking. This
electronic record can be presented at the airport during check-in and boarding, eliminating the need
for a physical ticket.
E-tickets have become the standard method of ticketing in the air industry, replacing traditional
paper tickets in most cases. They offer numerous advantages, including greater convenience for
passengers, easier management and modification of reservations, reduced paper waste, and
improved efficiency for airlines.
Electronic tickets have played a significant role in modernizing air travel and have become an integral
part of the booking and travel experience for passengers worldwide.

Note:
The above price is valid for default validating carrier as ‘’SV’’’. Please make sure to remove ‘’FV’’
element from PNR, if any, before initiating the pricing entry.
105
Step 4 – Save the price
To save the price, enter: RFA; ER
System Response
The TST tag indicates that the selected fare has been stored in the PNR. The validating carrier 'SV' is
automatically placed as the default validating carrier on line 7 of the PNR element.
System Response
106
Step 7- Issue an Electronic ticket
To issue an Electronic ticket, enter: TTP/P1/S2-3/RT –or - TTP/RT
System Response
To display Issued e-ticket record, enter: TWD/L6 (Refer to Line 8 of the PNR for the FA element)
107
Transitional Stored Ticket (TST)
A Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) is a pricing record attached to a PNR. It contains all the ticketing
information for a priced flight itinerary. Each TST has a number, a creation date, an office ID and an
agent sign. If there are multiple TSTs, they must have different flight segments, as segments cannot
overlap. A single TST can apply to more than one passenger name if the flight segments, fare elements
and forms of payment are the same. If any information is changed for one passenger in a multiple
passenger TST, a new TST is automatically created for that passenger.
A TST can have up to 8 flight segments (including Arrival Unknown (ARNK) segments) but this limit
depends on the market and the ticketing server used. For users in markets that issue tickets through
Amadeus Central Ticketing, the maximum number of segments is 24.
If there is no TST and you enter a ticketing command (TTP), the system prices the PNR, creates the
TST and issues the ticket. An AST can have up to sixteen flight segments.
When an AST is created, the system displays a ticket image that contains the fare information,
validity, and baggage allowance for each passenger.
After the system creates a TST, a TST identification is added to the header line of the PNR display.
This shows that a TST is attached to the PNR.
A TST pricing indicator shows what type of fare has been used. Common TST pricing indicator values
include:
I an IATA auto priced fare
A an ATAF auto priced fare
F if the fare is taken from the Amadeus Negotiated Fares
Database (FXP/R, U).
T an auto priced inclusive tour fare
108
To display a TST, you need to enter the following command: TQT
If there is more than one active TST, an index is displayed. You can then select the TST number you
want to see by entering: TQT/T<number>
You can also update a TST with new segments by entering: TTU/S<segment number>
109
Display an Electronic Ticket Record (ETR)
To display an Electronic Ticket Record (ETR) on Amadeus, you need to use the TWD command. There
are different options for displaying an ETR depending on whether you have a retrieved PNR or not,
and whether you want to see the history or the tax details of the ETR.
110
Voiding or canceling an Electronic Ticket Record
Voiding or canceling an Electronic Ticket Record is possible within the current sales period, provided
the sale is not yet confirmed or has already been canceled.
When you cancel an Electronic Ticket Record, the system sends a void request to the airline. This
action updates the coupon status of the e-ticket coupons from 'O' (open for use) or some airlines
allow 'A' (airport control) to 'V' for voided. Additionally, the record is automatically marked as
canceled in the sales report. In the sales report, the transaction type code of the electronic
document is changed from 'TKTT' to 'CANX'.
Once the e-ticket has been successfully voided, a message will be displayed confirming the action,
such as:
"OK-ETKT UPDATED"
In some cases, certain airlines may return a settlement authorization code (SAC) after voiding, which
will be shown in the following message:
To void an electronic ticket record (ETR) on Amadeus, you need to use the TRDC command.
You can void an ETR from the retrieved PNR, from the query report or by entering the 10-digit
document number.
It's important to note that travel agents can void a re-issued ticket if the airline allows it.
111
Revalidation Electronic Ticket
Revalidation is the process of updating an electronic ticket after making some changes to the
itinerary, such as flight number, date, time, or airport. Revalidation is only possible if there is no
change to the fare and if the airline allows it.
To revalidate an e-ticket in Amadeus, you need to have an FV element with the validating carrier in
the PNR and use the TTP/ETRV command with the appropriate options.
Important Note: To proceed with revalidation, the coupons must have a status of 'O' (open) or, in
some cases, certain airlines may allow 'A' (Airport Control). Additionally, the airline's policy must
permit revalidation.
112
Step 1 – Change the reservation as per required dates:
113
STEP 3- Revalidate an E-Ticket

Reissue an Electronic Ticket
Reissue is the process of exchanging an electronic ticket for a new one after making some changes to
the itinerary that affect the fare, such as routing, class, or passenger type. Reissue is only possible if
the airline allows it and if the fare rules permit it.
To initiate a reissue in Amadeus, you'll need specific information: the new base fare, taxes paid on
the original ticket, breakdown of any new taxes to be collected, reissue fee requirements, and any
total additional collection, if applicable. If you're unsure about any of these details, please contact
the validating carrier to confirm.

Amadeus Automated Refunds
The Automated Refund feature allows you to refund sales documents in the Amadeus system. For each
document you want to refund, the system searches for data stored in the central ticketing server. If
this data is still available, it is used to create a refund record. Data is stored in the system for 180 days.
If the data is no longer available, you can enter details of the refund into a blank refund record. The
office profile record indicator (ARF) in your office profile must be set to Yes.
Refund transactions automatically search for the original ticket sales data that is stored in the Central
Ticket System Document Database and use it to populate refund records. Ticket sales data is available
for 6 months. If the data is no longer available, you can enter the details of the refund into a blank
refund record.
You can refund e-tickets that have status codes: O (Open) or A (Airport control)
The system allows you to handle refund records directly for full refunds, and you also have the
flexibility to manually update them for partial refunds.
You can use different commands to initiate a refund, depending on whether you have the ticket
number, the PNR line number, or the query report sequence number of the item you want to refund.
You can also use Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) Refund to process automated refunds with ATC by
entering the /ATC option at the end of the entry. Amadeus is the first travel technology partner to
offer automated refunds for all airlines using industry standard ATPCO filed penalty data
You can indicate a refund for e-tickets using any of the following entries:
