Before You Start
This user guide is intended for Amadeus Commercial Organizations (ACO) and
system user airline staff attending Amadeus functionality training courses.
We give you an introduction to each of the major features of the product or area
concerned and tell you which entry to make to obtain detailed information in the
Amadeus Online Help. The entry is indicated on the first line after the topic title
(and where necessary in the text). For example:
HE PRO
If you are required to make two entries, one to access a help subject area and the
second to display a specific page, we indicate the page after a comma as follows:
HE PRO, GP PNE
Note:
Spacing between the components of an entry is optional unless

otherwise specified. It is used in this guide to improve clarity and
readability.
Chapter 1
Introduction to Amadeus Fares and

Pricing
HE FAR, GP INT
Amadeus Fares and Pricing is a computerized air travel pricing system. Its
database stores millions of public and private fares for hundreds of different
providers. The Fares and Pricing system can construct an unlimited number of
fares through the dynamic add-on processing facility.
There are five main features in Amadeus Fares and Pricing:
Fare Displays
Informative Pricing
Itinerary Pricing
Amadeus Best Pricer
Amadeus Value Pricer
Amadeus receives fares data from different suppliers. For more information, see
GG ASK FQT FDL.
User Guide
Summary of the Fare Quote and Pricing

Transactions
Amadeus Fares and Pricing entries are divided into two types of transactions:
FQ
The Fare Quote transactions display information based on the data contained
in an entry
FX
The Itinerary Pricing transactions price a specific itinerary
The following tables present the Fare Quote and Itinerary Pricing entries, and
show whether a PNR is required, and whether each entry is a main entry or a
follow-up entry. For the Itinerary Pricing, Amadeus Best Pricer and Amadeus
Value Pricer entries, the table indicates whether the entry creates a TST or not.
For more information about a specific entry, enter HE followed by the three-letter
transaction code. For example:

Fare Displays
HE FQD
The fare display in Amadeus shows published fares based on the options
contained in your entry. You can use options to specify airlines, dates, booking
codes, and global routings, and to exclude default taxes. You can also request
displays where the fares are sorted from lowest to highest, or highest to lowest,
or according to whether the displays show one-way or round trip fares. Further
sorting is made according to whether fare types and expanded parameters are
used. You can change displays very easily when you begin your search for fares
with a wide selection, then narrow the search.
Fare Display in Euros

The euro is the single currency of the countries that form the European Economic
and Monetary Union (EMU).
For EMU countries all amounts (fares and rules) are displayed in euros after
pricing transactions: e.g. Fare Display, Itinerary Pricing, Informative Pricing,
Amadeus Value Pricer, Amadeus Best Pricer etc.
To request a fare display between the city of your terminal location and New
York, enter:
FQD NYC
The system assumes that the location of your terminal is the city of origin. You
can request fares for a specific city pair by specifying both the city of origin and
the city of arrival. For example, enter:
FQD HELNYC
The system responds with the following:
Your owner airline fares if your terminal is configured as an airline terminal,

followed by the common fares (YY), if these exist.
Common fares (YY), if these exist.
A list of airlines that have fares for this route if no common (YY) fares exist.
If nothing is specified, the system defaults to the current date and the currency of
the origin city.

US and Canadian Domestic Airline-specific

Display
HE AIR, GP DI2
No YY fares exist for domestic markets (that is within the boundaries of a single
country, like the US, Canada, France, Germany etc.). Because of this you must
include at least one airline code when you request fare displays for a domestic
market. See the following example of a fare display, showing fares from Houston
to Chicago.

The US and Canadian domestic airline-specific display sorts the fares from
highest to lowest, with the routing numbers displayed at the right hand side of the
screen.
A US and Canadian display does not include the global indicator, or the MPM
(Maximum Permitted Mileage), or TPM (Ticketed Point Mileage). The fares are
based on routings.
There are two things to notice in this display:
1. The system appends the letter R after all fares that are round trip.
2. Since all US and Canadian domestic fares are routings, it contains the RTG
column.
By default, all routings used in a US and Canadian fare display are displayed at
the very bottom of the display. For example:
6
NON STOP
Note:
You can find more details about a routing by entering FQR followed by
a line number.

more information exists.
You can override this default, and display fares from lowest to highest by adding
the options /IX to your entry.

Expanded Parameter Codes

HE FAR, GP OPT
You can use expanded parameter codes for markets that use automated fare
notes/rules. Expanded parameters allow you to request fares according to the
restrictions associated with the fare. You can request fares with no penalty
information (NPE), or fares that are non-refundable (NRF), or fares with no
advance purchase requirement (NAP), and so on. For example:
FQD PARNYC/ACO/R,*NAP
You can combine up to five expanded parameter codes in your entry, but only
those codes that are related to different types of restriction, and that are not in
conflict with each other. Separate each code with an dash. For example:
FQD STORIO/ALH/R,*NPE-NAP-RF
The following table lists all expanded parameter codes you can use:

Edition 3.0

Fare Notes
HE FQN
Fare notes contain the conditions and regulations applicable to a specific fare.
Fare notes are also referred to as fare rules.
Fare notes/rules have a maximum of nine versions, each with a specific effective
and discontinue date. When you request fare notes/rules by line number, the
system displays the note/rule based on the dates in the fare display. If you
require a note/rule for a past date, you must request a fare display for the past
date, and then request the note/rule for the fare based on the line number.
Airline ticketing fees, also called OB fees, are included in the fare displayed.
Depending on your market, if the fare note/rule exceeds nine pages in length, the
system either displays an index with the applicable paragraphs for you to select
from, or a message saying MAX DATA EXCEEDED, RQST BY INDIVIDUAL
RULE CODE.

Here we explain the calculation entries you can perform, such as mileage

Calculating the Mileage

HE FQM
IATA has established a maximum permitted mileage 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 a greater deviation at a cost based
on the maximum permitted mileage fare amount, no more than 25% over the
MPM.
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.
To request a mileage display from Paris to Singapore, via the following points:
Stockholm, London, Delhi and Mumbai, enter:

Table: Explanation of Mileage Display

Code
Explanation
CTY
City code and tariff conference area.
DC
Direction code for TPM.
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
DC
Direction code for MPM.
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:
<HGL
When EXC appears, the mileage surcharge is greater than 25%.
Higher level mileage, indicates the number of miles available before reaching
the next higher 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.

Currency Conversion
The Amadeus currency conversion transactions allow you to check exchange
rates and calculate amounts in different currencies. The system converts
amounts based on the rates of exchange for the current date, unless you specify
another date. You can request rates for a past date, for up to 12 months in the
past.
The rates are as follows:
BSR (Bankers selling rate - the default conversion rate)
BBR (Bankers buying rate)
ICH (IATA clearing house rate)
You can use the currency conversion transaction when you are calculating fares
manually, where you need to find the exchange rates between different
currencies and Neutral Units of Construction (NUCs). A NUC is a fictitious
currency, established by IATA as a fare calculating tool.

Excess Baggage Charges

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 airlines
baggage policy and limits in the Amadeus Information Pages GGAIRxx (where xx
is the airline code).
Note:
The excess baggage charges transaction does not apply to markets

using the piece concept.
Requesting Excess Baggage Charges

HE FQX
The basic transaction code for requesting excess baggage charges rates is FQX.
To request excess baggage charge rates for 10.5 kilos, between Zurich and
Singapore, at the current rate, enter:
FQX ZRHSIN/10.5
System Response:
FQX ZRHSIN/22JUL0x/10.5/YY/CHF

1002/
51.40/EH/ 10.5/
540/
90.45/TS/ 10.5/
950/
>
The system displays three different options, corresponding to the applicable

global routes for ZRH-SIN. Since no specific airline is indicated, the system
defaults to YY rates. The excess baggage charge amount is displayed in the
currency of the point of origin. You can request specific airline rates by including
a two-letter airline code at the end of your entry. For example:
FQX ZRHSIN/10.5/LX
You can also request excess baggage charge rates for a specific date. Enter the
date straight after the city pair, preceded by a slash. Use the format date, month,
year. For example:
FQX ZRHSIN/28MAR0x/10.5/LX

Informative Pricing
HE FQP
The Informative Pricing transaction FQP is a fare calculation tool, which allows
you to estimate the fare for an itinerary. This is 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 the 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. You can calculate discount fares, including cumulative discounts.
The following conditions apply:
You can use FQP for all fares except group fares and air passes.
FQP is applicable for past-date fares.

For more information see Past Date Pricing on page 95.
If you do not enter any specific options to your entry, the system makes the
following assumptions:
An adult passenger type.
The current date for the first segment, and an open date for all the other
segments.
An open booking class. The system displays the lowest possible price for
each class.
YY fares for travel agencies, and carrier specific fares for airlines.
Stopovers at all cities.
Note:
For Air France users, and its hosted airlines, Amadeus prices itineraries
based on common (YY) fares.
You must specify an airline for markets where no YY fares exist.

Adding Options
You can make your search for fares more narrow and precise by including
options in your entry. Place options that relate to a segment between the city
codes, and options that relate to the whole itinerary at the end of the entry.
See the following entry, which includes several city pairs:
FQP LHR BOM SYD NRT FRA LON
You can customize your request by adding options. You can request specific
airlines, travelling at specific dates, at specific rates, in a specific class, with
surface gaps, at a specific discount and so on. The following example requests
an itinerary starting in London Heathrow, September 14, with BA in F class, via
the EH global route, to Singapore. The trip continues October 18, with SQ in Y
class, via the EH global route to London Heathrow. The requested price is for a
child, and the point of sale is Paris, but point of ticketing is Madrid:

There are two important points to remember when adding options:
If you use the airline code option, the system uses that airline for all
segments, until you add a new airline code.
When you use the booking code option, the system uses that booking code
for all segments, until you add a different one. If you do not include a booking
code option in the first city pair, it cannot be included in any subsequent city
pairs.
For more information, see HE FQP.
Tax and Surcharge Options

HE FQP, GP IN2
You can add, withhold and exempt taxes and surcharges using the tax options to
manipulate taxes in a fare calculation. Before using tax options, check tax
information for a country with the FQNTAX entry. for example:
FQNTAX/FR
The above FQN entry tells you which taxes apply. For each tax it tells you:
Tax code shown on the ticket
Internal tax type code
71
User Guide
The tax code shown on the ticket is usually the country code (except for US), but
there are exceptions. for example, Canadian goods and services tax:
Tax code on ticket: XG
Internal tax type: MU
Here is an example of the entry to add all taxes by country code:

FQPBOG/ACOMIA-EWR-MIA-BOG/R,AC-US
The following table shows more options that you can use. For more information
about the tax and surcharge options you can use at the end of the entry, see HE

Stopovers, Transfers, and Surface Segments

The system considers all cities you enter in an informative pricing transaction as
stopover points, unless you actually specify a stopover point. Then all preceding
cities will become transfer, or no stopover points. The stopover indicator is a
dash (-) and you include it after the stopover city. For example:

Itinerary Pricing
HE FXX and HE FXP

The itinerary pricing transactions allow you to price a PNR. Depending on which
transaction you use, you can choose to store, or not to store the pricing response
in a TST. The itinerary pricing transactions are as follows:
FXP
Prices an itinerary, and stores the response in a TST.
FXX
Prices an itinerary, without storing the response.
When only one fare is applicable for an itinerary, the system displays a ticket
image, and stores a TST if you are using FXP.
When several fares apply, the system displays a list of fares to choose from.
When there is only one passenger, the system displays a ticket image.
When there are several passengers, the system displays a list of passenger
and fare details.
A fare proposed by the system is valid until you do an end of transaction (ET,
ER).
The link with the Amadeus Fares and Pricing server has a limit of three
minutes. If you are inactive for longer than three minutes, you will be
disconnected. Re-enter a pricing entry.
For selected markets, when the amount of fares offered are equal, carrier
specific fares take precedence over YY fares.
The system prices an itinerary in the currency of the country of origin, and
automatically converts it into the currency of your terminal location when
needed.
When you choose to store a TST, remember that the validity of the TST
varies, depending on your location. The TST validity is decided by each
market individually, and may be minutes, hours, or days.
If airline ticketing fees apply, these are automatically inlcuded.
For information about limitations that apply to round, circle and one-way trips, see
Pricing Journey Type Limitations on page 66.

Edition 3.0
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 combines 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 applies to all normal and special fares.
However, the pricing unit concept does not apply to ASEAN extension
fares. ASEAN extension fares are special 'add on' fares for visits to
Asian countries. These must be issued in combination with an
international fare originating inside Traffic Conference 3 (TC3). And the
whole trip must remain within TC3.
You can view the pricing units applied by entering the FQN or FQS follow-up
transaction after pricing. For example:
FQN1
1 - PSGR P1 ADT
>FQN 1-1
ADT LONNYC BA
>FQN 1-2

In the example above, pricing unit 1 is a one-way fare London to New York.
Pricing unit 2 is a return New York to Los Angeles.

Using the FD Element to Specify an Age

Some fares require that an age is specified in the FD element to ensure that the
passenger is entitled to a specific discount.
Here we use the following PNR to illustrate this:
-------------------------------------------------------------1.LAVENDER/ER(CHD/03DEC03)
2.SMITH/JOHNMR

To state that the infant Phil is an infant, use the FD entry and include a passenger
association after the date of birth, as follows:
FDIN/02MAR07/P3
Note:
The date of birth of INF/CHD must always be included.

The system recognizes that 'IN' is an infant discount code, and automatically
adds an INF identifier to the FD element. You can also manually add the INF or
PAX identifier to any PNR fare element. Optionally, you can specify the age,
using a birth date as follows:

Pricing Override Options

HE OVERRIDE
Pricing override functions are permitted in all Amadeus markets. However, some
airlines may restrict their use.
If you are using pricing override functions, the TST in your PNR may be
considered manual. It is your responsibility to obtain authorization from the airline
owning the fare for the ticket you are modifying.

Past Date Pricing

HE FQP
The past date pricing option allows you to price a fare for up to twelve months in
the past.
The system uses the fare and the rules of the date you include in your entry.
Routing and currency conversion information is taken from the current date.
The fail code V is printed on the ticket, unless you price a past date on the day
that the fares change (for example, in markets with several daily fare loads).
Here is an example entry:
FXP/R,12AUG08
You may print a ticket and reprice an itinerary by using the past date pricing
option. For example:
TTP/R,12AUG08
When you combine the print entry TTP with the /R option, the existing TST is
deleted and repriced with a fare of the date you include in the entry. However, the
ticket will show the current date as the issue date.
Note:
The /R option only applies to pricing.
93
User Guide
Pricing and Ticketing by Fare Basis

You can force pricing or ticketing by fare basis code, provided that the fare rule is
filed in coded format. You may want to do this if, for example, the pricing request
displays the lowest fare, but you know that there is a more expensive, less
restrictive fare available.
There are two options available for pricing by fare basis code:
Table: Pricing by Fare Basis Options
Option
Description
/A
All fare rules and booking codes are validated and the
TST is guaranteed.
/L
Overrides (ignores) certain fare rules, and the TST is

flagged as manual. See HE FAR, GP OP2 for details of
this option.
Note:
/A and /L cannot be combined in the same pricing entry. However, /A

can be used with /LI and /LO, which are not pricing entries.
When you use the /A option to force pricing by fare basis code, you can price an
itinerary even if it contains segments for airlines that do not allow pricing
overrides.
To price the whole itinerary with one fare basis code, enter for example:
FXX/A-JRT
FXX
Pricing or ticketing entry
/A
Slash, A (pricing by fare basis indicator)
-JRT
Dash, fare basis code
To price using different fare basis codes, enter for example:

FXX/A2-JRT/A3-J3A
FXX
Pricing or ticketing entry
/A
Segment number
-JRT
/A
Segment number
-J3A
This results in a break in the fare at the off point of segment 2 and the off point of
segment 3.
The system validates the following items when you use pricing or ticketing by fare
basis: stopovers, surcharges, child discount, other discounts, passenger types,
and routings.
The following table contains some examples, and explanations. For further
examples, see HE FAR, GP OP2.

User Guide
Zap Off
Use the zap off option to manually apply a discount to an itinerary or a segment.
The discount is applied in the currency of your terminal. The system appends the
ticket designator DISC to the fare basis code, unless you specify something else.
Different fail codes are printed on the ticket, depending on how you use the
option.
You may specify a percentage by adding the indicator P, or an amount by adding
the indicator A. A percentage discount is always applied to the base fare. The
zap off option defaults to either the base fare, or the total fare. Your default option
is controlled by the fare quote profile. If you wish to override the default set for
you, see the following example of the entries:
FXP/ZO-B75P
Zap off 75% from the base fare (not valid

in USA)
TTP/ZO-T20A
Zap off an amount (20 units) of the total

fare. T (meaning total) applies only with
A (amount) and not with P (percentage).
Pricing will fail if one or more of the following conditions exists:
The segments being priced are not on the same carrier and user wants to
zap off an amount.
When discounting an amount of the total fare, there is more than one fare
component and more than one taxation applies.
The following message is displayed:

'UNABLE TO DISCOUNT/INTERLINE OR MULTI-TAX'
See HE ZAPOFF for more information.
Zap Add
The zap add option allows you to add a percentage or amount to the base fare
when pricing. The pricing indicator on the TST is I and the FCMI is 0, but the fare
calculation line includes 'PLUS' followed by the amount that has been added to
indicate that zap add has been used. Any taxes based on a percentage are
calculated on the base fare plus the added amount, except for USLO tax (US
Domestic), which is calculated on the base fare only, and is not applied to the
added amount.
The following restrictions apply:
The targeted fares must be Private Fares (Category 15) available to your
agency.
Your agency must have a commercial agreement with the airline to allow the
zap add function on the airline's fares.
The function must be activated for your office ID - this is done automatically
with the zap off option. To request access to this function, contact your local
Amadeus commercial organization.
To use the zap add option, enter, for example:

FXX/R,U*ZAPADD/ZO-50A
Zap add an amount of 50
FXX/R,U*ZAPADD/ZO-10P
Zap add an amount of 10%.
See HE ZAPADD for more information

Edition 3.0
Tax and Surcharge Options

HE FAR, GP OP2
You can use these options to manipulate taxes and surcharges in a fare
calculation.
For more information, see Tax and Surcharge Options on page 72.
Ticketing Carrier Override

The ticketing carrier override option is controlled by the OVC field in your office
profile. If this field is set to YES, you can override the validating airline and print a
ticket on an airline, whether it is participating in the itinerary or not. The fail code
R is printed on the ticket. For example:
TTP/V*NZ
You are responsible for verifying whether a ticketing agreement exists between
the airlines in the PNR and the airline you are validating. The system does not
verify such information when you use this option.
To find out whether a ticketing agreement exists, enter TGAD-XX/YY (XX =
airline in the PNR, YY = the second airline). For example, to check the ticketing
agreement between Air France and British Airways, enter:
TGAD-AF/BA

User Guide
Fare Calculation Mode Indicators

HE FCMI, HE FAILCODE
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.
See HE FCMI for a list of the TST indicators and the entries to create them.
The fail codes are divided into two groups. They are either created by the fare
quote system when you price an itinerary, or by the ticket server when you print a
ticket. Sometimes you may find that you get one code when you price the
itinerary, and another when you print the ticket. Fail codes created by the ticket
server always take precedence.

Amadeus Best Pricer
HE BEST PRICER or HE FXA or HE FXB

Amadeus Best Pricer enables you to price a PNR with the lowest available fare
for a booked itinerary. It checks for lower fares and availability in lower booking
classes, or for lower fares in the same booking class as already booked. The
system suggests only fares that are applicable to the itinerary and the passenger
type. It also checks the rule conditions.
Amadeus Best Pricer can automatically rebook an itinerary in a lower booking
class, by using the highest access. Alternatively, the system can inform you of
lower fares without rebooking, to enable you to check if the suggested fare is
suitable for the passenger, without changing the PNR. You can also choose to
store, or not to store the pricing response in a TST.
In certain markets, Amadeus Best Pricer checks for lower fares across all cabins
of the aircraft, and gives preference to the highest cabin when the same fare
applies. In other markets, Amadeus Best Pricer checks for lower fares in the
same cabin as the already booked segment.
You can use airline ticketing fee entries, are also known as OB fees, with
Amadeus Best Pricer. Airline ticketing fees are included in the price.

to either create a new booking, or rebook an existing one. Value Pricer processes
multi-passenger types, and guarantees your seat at booking time.
Note:
The number of recommendations to be displayed is indicated in the

office profile. the VPN field (Value Pricer number) can contain any
number from 4 to 20.
Amadeus Service Fee Manager is fully integrated with Amadeus Value
Pricer. The Value Pricer recommendations include the ticketing fees by
default.
Value Pricer can be used by a variety of travel agencies, such as corporate,

leisure travel, and multi-national agencies. However, distribution of Value Pricer
will be restricted as a charge will apply. Value Pricer supports domestic and
international sectors, interline routings, and one-way, return, circle, and open-jaw
trips.
Value Pricer is based on Amadeus neutral availability. The following options can
be used to customize your search request:

Value Pricer supports published fares, negotiated fares, ATPCO private fares,
and interline pricing. generally, all Amadeus Best Pricer and standard pricing
restrictions apply to Value Pricer. Additionally, there are other restrictions that

User Guide
Your request can contain the following fare options:
Up to six different passenger types, which are processed simultaneously
Taxes
Ticketing date
Override selling/ticketing city
Expanded parameters
The minimum elements you need to perform a Amadeus Value Pricer transaction
are:
Number of passengers (if more than one)
Origin
Destination
Date
You can enter these elements manually, or, if a PNR is present, the system
automatically retrieves them from the PNR.
The only mandatory element in your entry is the destination. By default, if you
only specify the destination, the system searches for low fares for one adult
passenger on flights departing today from the city associated to your office
profile. For example, if you enter:
FXC PAR
and your office is located in London, the system searches by default for low fares
for one adult passenger from London to Paris using todays date and time.
Using the elements you enter, or from the PNR, the system finds up to nine lowfare itineraries, and displays them in a recommendation display.

Market-specific Features
HE FAR, GP OP2
All markets using Amadeus are independent from each other, and may have
specific needs. Amadeus tries to meet these requirements, and sometimes
develops specific functions. Here we give introductory information to some of
these functions indicating where to find more information in the Amadeus Online
Help.
Booking Date Override

HE FAR, GP OP2
The booking date override option applies to fares using automated rules. The
purpose is to ignore instant purchase requirements for ticketing, for example to
ignore the date limit, after the reservation is made, by which ticketing must take
place.
However, the system does validate advance reservation and ticketing
requirements prior to departure. The failcode V is printed on the ticket. Enter for
example:
FXX/R,DO-OBD
FXX
Basic pricing entry
/R,DO
Slash, R, comma and date override indicator
-OBD
Dash and override booking date designator
If you do not enter a specific date, the system uses the fare from the current date
by default.
137
User Guide
Booking Class Override

HE FAR, GP OP2
When a PNR cannot be priced because there is no fare that matches the required
booking class, this option instructs the system to ignore the fare requirements
and price the PNR with the existing booking classes.
To use this entry, you must first have tried to price the PNR using FXX or FXP
and received the message 'NO FARES/RBD/ CARRIER/PASSENGER TYPE'.
The system will then display a list of alternative fares with different booking
codes.
To override the booking class enter FXV, followed by the line number of the
selected fare from the list. For example, enter:
FXV2
Passenger Facility Charges

HE FAR, GP PFC
A Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) is a fee collected from a passenger for using
an airport in the United States and its territories. These fees apply to departing
passengers only. There is a mandatory collection policy for tickets issued within
the US. The same applies for wholly US domestic itineraries, wherever the ticket
is issued.
Storing Historical Fare Records

HE FAR, GP HFR
Historical fare records (HFR) enable you to keep track of the fares you have
quoted to a customer. They are for informational purpose only, and you cannot
delete them from your PNR. You can store these records after a pricing entry.
To create a historical fare record after pricing. Enter:
FR
If you want to add free-format text with the historical fare record, use the following
format for example:
FR/PASSENGER ADVISED OF RESTRICTIONS
You can enter up to 60 characters of free-flow text.
You can also add free-format text only to the fare record, without storing any fare
data from the pricing response. Use the same format as described above, but
add a hyphen (-) directly after the slash in your entry. For example:
FR/-PSGR WILL ONLY FLY ON CO
After you have entered a historical fare record, an indicating HFR flag appears in
the PNR header line when you redisplay the PNR.

Edition 3.0
Chapter 10 Market-specific Features
The FQL* List

HE FAR, GP FQL
When an FQD entry results in no available fares (a route not served by a
specified airline or no fares for request type), the system displays a list of request
types and passenger type codes applicable to the city pair and airlines you
requested.
To display a list of all existing fare request type codes and passenger type codes,
enter:
FQL*
Alternative Date Validation

HE FAR, GP OP2
Agents in the US may use the alternative date validation (ADV) entry for ticketing.
The purpose is to override the issue date that is printed on the ticket. The system
checks that the date you enter conforms to existing restrictions. The fail code V is
printed on the ticket, unless the entry is performed on the current day.
Before you can make the ADV entry you must ensure that the BDT and FDT
fields in your office profile are set to a value. The BDT field controls the
backdating of tickets whilst the FDT field controls future date ticketing.
The BDT field can be set to no more than 90 days in the past, whereas the FDT
field can be set no more than 3 days in the future. Both the BDT and FDT field
must be set by your help desk.
To enter an ADV for a past date, enter, for example:
TTP/OD19AUG05
TTP
Ticket print transaction code
/OD
Ticketing option
19AUG05
Past date
The system checks the date entered and compares it to the date in the TST. If
the BDT value is greater or equal to the calculated difference, then backdating is
allowed. Similarly, to enter an ADV for a future date, enter, for example:
TTP/OD20JUN06
TTP
Ticket print transaction code
/OD
Ticketing option
19AUG05
Future date
Again the system checks the date entered and compares it to the date in the
TST. If the FDT value is greater or equal to the calculated difference, then future
date ticketing is allowed.

Dynamic Discount
HE DYNAMIC
Amadeus Dynamic Discounted Fares helps you to price your competitive fare
contracts more efficiently for fares that are derived by applying a discount to an
existing published fare.
These fares have been integrated into the Amadeus Fares and Pricing system so
that you can continue to work in the familiar Amadeus environment. Using the
Amadeus Fares and Pricing options, you can display, automatically price, and
ticket these special fares.
In most cases, the rule conditions that apply to the public fare applies to the
discounted fare, but some conditions can vary. The Dynamic Discounted Fares
database contains the exceptions and allows for a waiver paragraph to be added
to the rule for displaying in the fare notes.
To display Dynamic Discounted Fares, use the same entries as for displaying
Unifares. The system response is the regular FQD fare display, except that the F
column appears between the airline and the routing column. The letter U in this
