DOHHAN connecting flight. Doha is a hub.
One-way trip / return or round trip

HANDOHFRA Inbound I/B

a)economy

1) Restricted the cheapest, changes might not be permitted, no refunds, high fees or not
permitted

2) Semi-flexible changes are payable, but prices are higher

3) Flexible changes are permitted, cancelations etc.


The price of the ticket: the base fare + taxes , sometimes also a service fee, online no service fee. If
someone does it for you phone call, city office extra fee. The final price consists of these 3 elements.

No show fee information is within 3 hours before the scheduled time of the departure. 150 euros of no
show+100 for change (if there is a change), 3 hours because theres no possibility to sell it to sb else
(check in opens and the flight is already blocked).

A go show a passenger who doesnt have a ticket but comes to the airport and wants to be on the
plane. No charges for go show.

The currency of the price depends on the currency of the origin country. The bank establishes the exact
rate of exchange.

Fares:
Two main types:
1) Routing fares main restriction we need to stick to is the routing CDG-DOH-MEL by QR, they are
cheaper because theyre more strict than mileage. The routing is the restriction.
2) Mileage fares very flexible, CDG-MEL, lets say 250000miles, so the passenger can go however
he wants. If the routing fits in 250000miles, its fine. The point: not to exceed specific number of
miles. E.g. CDG-LHR-ARN-DME-HKG-MEL. Its more expensive. The only restriction mileage.
Every airline can sell this fare. Profitable for ff members. Mileage fares:
QR (most of them have QR in the name of the fare basis)-they might be different
IATA mileage fares only 3 mileage fares:
YIF economy IATA fare, one for any mileage ticket in economy
CIF business IATA fare
FIF first IATA fare

SBC it refers to all the segments

sbh1,2/s3,4 should be h on the first and the second


segment and s in the 3rd and 4th segment, so h on o/b and
s on i/b

Before we take the payment, we have to inform the customer about the CONDITIONS of the ticket:
1)refunds
2)changes
3)fee
Thats why we need the fare rules:
FQN1-1*LI
1 for the first pricing, pricing option, we have to choose the fare component. In case the components are
not identical, we have to put FQN1-1
-1 fare component
LI the list of all rules
Every paragraph has its own two letter code

One of the paragraphs penalties (PE)


Changes charge is $250, but this is not the only cost of change, we have to re-price the ticket, the
passenger has to pay the difference between the first itinerary and the new one. If the ticket is non-
refundable we dont give the difference back to the customer. So the cost is:
$250+difference
We have to present the CANCELATIONS and MAXIMUM and MINIMUM stay.

Something else RT, and searching starts all over again

Before departure- - before the passenger was on any of the planes , before the customer uses any part of
the ticket. Before the passenger departs, not before the plane departs. No-show is still before the
departure. Cancellations based on the used part.

We cannot change classes for lower, only for higher. The same or higher class.

PNR must stay the same in case of changes, we cannot add people to the reservation, we can only split
them.
Fees (case above): non-refundable (just the airport taxes), no show is not permitted (more than 3 hours
before the departure to change the ticket), changes are permitted at price of $250 plus the differences in
fares must be covered

We have to inform also about the minimum and maximum stay:


FQN1-1*mn,mx

We have to inform about mn and mx stay before taking the payment. We have to tell the customer about
the factors that influence the price in case of changes.

WAW-DEL (xDOH) 01apr
Fare origin where the travel begins
Last stopover DEL

Its helpful for the changes, e.g. if the passenger wants to change the ticket before 5 days pass, the price
will be much higher.
The same for maximum stay. In order to be eligible for that fare, you have to stay there up to e.g. 3
months. Why 3 months? Because its a restrictive fare.
WAW-DEL01apr DEL-03aproDOH-07aprWAW its fine, the date fits

If the journey starts on 15feb, minimum stay:5 days; the earliest date to come back: 20 feb. Mx stay 1
month, the latest date to come back: 15mar
This is displayed on the fqq display: NVA 15mar, NVB 20feb, but sometimes it doesnt
show anything

Minimum, maximum, fees for changes, cancelations and no show

FQN1-1*mn,mx,pe

If theres a fee for cancellation, it means that the ticket is refundable but at a fee
from unused part of the ticket.
After and before always refer to the first travel. Before the departure did the passenger use any
part of the ticket. Even though the plane departed, the passenger is still before if he didnt take the
plane.
The highest maximum stay is 12 months, the maximum validity.
If we miss the flight cancellation fee+no show fee. Service fee one-time payment, never refundable.
We give back the difference, e.g. base fare 1700, so we give back 500 and airport taxes.
Change plus difference of fare, plus difference in taxes. In case of no show ticket is unchangeable a
new ticket is needed. To avoid no show, the passenger has to call at least 3 hours before the departure.
Change fees are per transaction, e.g. o/b and i/b within one transaction 400, o/b and correction 400
Fees are paid by people who occupy the seats

Pricenames, phones, mail etc. terms and conditionspayment

Changes permitted, no fee changes are free of charge

Two different fares on the ticket, e.g. O and N, we have to compare all the rules, we have to decide
which rule is more restrictive: e.g. 5 days and not 6 days of mn stay we choose the most restrictive
conditions. O/b change - $250+the difference in the fares and taxes. Changes are as per fare component
if the fares are different. Change of 2 components at one time we take just one but more restrictive
one, e.g. $250 and 100 euro. Cancellation is always the most restrictive if its not permitted in one case,
its not permitted even if its allowed in the first case. We present only the binding conditions to the
customer.
No show and changes as per fare component
Cancellations the most restrictive ones for the whole itinerary

If we miss the o/b flight, we cannot take the i/b flight, the ticket is lost if the no-show is not permitted,
we can get the taxes back and buy another ticket, we have to change into one-way.
The most restrictive cancellation fee is applicable to both flights, both o/b and i/b
No show on o/b- we have to rebook everything, theres nothing in the reservation.
No show and change:
Change fee+no show fee (we cannot be no show on o/b and i/b at the same time)
No show on the o/b we HAVE TO CHANGE I/B, theres no other way.

To sum up, if we are no show on o/b, we compare no show fee and the change fee
on o/b and change fee on i/b
If we cancel whole itinerary, we choose more restrictive fare.
If we are no show on i/b and we want to cancel the ticket, we choose only

Class O Class N
MN 5d 6d X
MX 1m X 12m
CXL 300 npr
No show 100 100
Chg 250 700
Cxl cost 400
The passenger wants to change o/b before
departure 250, he wants to change i/b 700. He
wants to cancel NOT PERMITTED . No show
only o/b 100+250??? Or 700??? Answer: 700,
because its more restrictive.

Minimum stay rule, e.g. 4D or 1st Sunday whichever is sooner, so less restrictive option. Anyway we
have to mark both options in RIZ in case of changes, RIZ minimum stay 4 days or 1st Sunday.

If the passenger is a no-show on the o/b, we have to re-book all his flights (pick them from the
availability and so on).
Even if the passenger is a no-show on the o/b, he has to change also the i/b, because everything is lost!
So we have to pick more restrictive fareif the cost of the change on the i/b is higher than no-show fee
plus change fee on o/b, we choose the cost of i/b change.

Intra-Gulf flights usually dont have business class. BCN-KWI, BCN-DOHbusiness, DOHKWI only first.
If somebody wants to travel in business from BCN to KWI, he will get first class ticket from DOH to KWI at
the price of business. How to combine the seats? Booking classes in this particular case cannot be the
same. Combinations:
I in business A in first
D in business A in first
C in business P in first
J in business F in first
No other combinations are permitted, any other pairs will not be allowed.

FXX exactly same basis in the fare component
If its the other way round, CDG-SLL in first class (theres no first class in DOH-SLL), its not possible to sell
this ticket, so we inform the customer that the flight is not available.
The only reason to mix cabins is business-first (when the business is not available).

IBE Internet booking engine, its internet booking, online it picks the market by the city of departure

GERMAN MARKET SPECIAL SERVICE


QR has a deal with DB. Passenger takes train from X to MUC/FRA/TXL and then the flight. Its on one
ticket. The ticket is open train from any DB station, very flexible, but the passenger has to tell us
whether its going to be MUC, TXL or FRA.
QYG any DB station (and DB train but altogether) , economy we match it with Y, business and first F.
We mix booking classes for trains. Careful with Berlin! It might be Tegel or Schonefeld.
An20aprqygpek/xtxl transit in TXL
an20aprqygpek/xmuc,fra transit in MUC or FRA
An20aprqygpek from any DB station

Timings of the train in A are not important, you can take any train on the day of departure and full
calendar day before departure or after arrival. In the direction of the airport fine, it should be the
shortest and the most convenient way to the airport. The passenger can easily change the trains to get
to the airport.
We select sector by sector, ss1yqq1 (three sectors)
Train theres no Amadeus indication *1A/E* E*
The system informs DB about selling a ticket

OR USE SELF SERVICE MACHINE AT TRAIN STATION WITHIN 72 HOURS within 72 hours before the flight,
they need to go to the DB station and theres a self-service machine, insert pick-up number, tkt pickup
nbr (RIZ pickup number for the out-bound is 555444 we send it again by the platform, we can do it as
many times as we want).
Passengers can also skip the train and go directly to the airport, then at the airport the crew changes
suspends the coupon and everything goes smooth from now on. There are no refunds, the price is the
same both for train- and flight only travel.
The only specification is for the airport.

SNCF special offer:


Limited number of options there are only 19 cities from where we can take the train to Paris (Rennes
included), we need to put the code for specific city:
an20aprxrfmel
In the availability it looks like a codeshare, these schedules are binding for passengers
Booking classes are exactly the same as in QR, so we use married segments. SBN we have to change all
the segments
We have to check the code of the city. Then particular train. Exactly same booking class on all of the
connections.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TRAIN TO TAKE THE PLANE. You have to show the ticket at the
airports counter. If you miss the train, you are a no-show at the airport, even if you arrive there. They
have to show the ticket at the counter, otherwise they will not be let to the plane. TGV arrives directly at
terminal 2 at the airport. QR leaves from terminal 1, intra-airport train to get to terminal 1. What if
theres a strike? QR changes the ticket for free, its not a voluntary change.
How to get the ticket for the train? The passenger has to go to TGV office at the station and present the
number at least 20 minutes before departure.

Pricing entries:
Fxx theory, it doesnt check the lowest option, it never mentions the lowest price
Fxp
FXR the best buy pricing entry, it always brings us to the lowest possible prices, it checks
availability, it checks against the rules but not in theory, the lowest fare possible that meets all of the
rules, it gives us actual solution. It takes mn, mx, blackouts, flight restrictions etc., correct price, tickets
sellable, but only FRESH booking. We can use it in Gulf itineraries and for train itineraries. We cannot use
it for mixed business and economy booking class, it does not work in case of travelling in 2 different
cabins, because it brings us to the lowest possible.
If the customer wants something more flexible, we have to use fxx and higher booking class.
To get the best price we should always use FXR.

Mm mx and mn at once
Twdrt return to previously displayed ticket
Manual rebooking (rbking)
There are two ways: manual and atc (Amadeus ticket changer, it calculates all the difference)
ATC we re-issue ticket, manual - we re-book the ticket , we check availability, we calculate the
difference, the cost of change, we put a new segment, we send it to special queue, before the ticket is
changed, the back-agent checks it, issues it and sends it to the customer.

A.Before departure :
1. Who issued the ticket? We open the pnr and check the passengers. We need to open the 157-ticket
and check IATA office identification (pv/). Two options:
QR CC, ATO, CTO, IBE any QR sales channel, we can always proceed with changing the price
Travel Agency :

Before departure we cannot change the ticket, the office that issued the ticket
should handle it, but 96 hours rule: if its up to 96 hours before departure in urgent cases
(e.g. travel agency is closed for the weekend), its up to 96 hours from the call to the
departure. If the new date of departure exceeds 96 hours (e.g. the flight was set for the
8th of March and the passenger wants to change it for 20 th of March), we remove the
segments to avoid no-show (we remove the o/b by using xe2,3), but we should not
change the ticket.
After departure at least one coupon is flown, we can always change TAs ticket,
as per rules and conditions.
STA this ticket is completely closed for us, we cannot change it any time.
2. Conditions twdtkt. In order to check the rules of already issued ticket, we have to use fare quote
display, city pairs, date of departure (it influences also the seasonality), date of issuance (on the example
below theres no advance, that was the same day), booking class (we look at the first letter of the fare,
not at the booking class, because it might be different for intra-Gulf flights).
FQDBRUMEL/D31OCT15/R,31OCT15/CY
- no fees, but we still need to check them + there are some fees nrf non-refundable
Ap advanced purchase, always mentioned in days min in days max in months
R indicates if its a mileage or a routing fare dates/days-seasonality, if theres a plus, there are more
restrictions and we have to check them
We check the conditions for the fare on the ticket (F8)
fqn4*pe
FQDBRUMEL/D31OCT14/R,31OCT14/CL for the i/b (because we compare it and cut in half)
No open-jaw exactly the same city pair

Childs fare:
We can skip childs indicator, because it does not influence the conditions
fqdwawktm/d20may15/r,19jan15,-chx/cd - exactly the same fare conditions, but still we can
reach it from this entry
fqdwawktm/d20may15/r,19jan15,-in/cd for the infant

Intra-gulf currencies 20.000 = twenty, not twenty thousand

STPC
Stop-over for the purpose of connection
1.Connecting time at HIA more than 8 hours, less than 24 hours. Immediate connection shorter than 8
hours. How long does the passenger have to stay at HIA.
2.Is there any immediate connection on that day? Only on the segment going to and out from Doha.
3.Are there any seats available in the same cabin? (not the same booking class, but the booking class can
be only higher than the previous one)
3.Purely QR flights:
QR is operating an immediate connection with seats available in the desired cabin - we cannot offer
hotel but we can change passengers flight at proper fees so that he does not have to wait so long.
Anyway, the passenger is not eligible for STPC.
QR is operating, but there are no seats available in the desired cabin. We cannot re-book the passenger,
so we allow STPC but not for free, because there was an immediate connection, but the passenger did
not book it. Paid STPC is permitted. $125 per person in economy, $150 per person in business and first.
QR is operating, there are no seats available in the immediate connection but theres one in the middle.
To use paid STPC we have to put the passenger into the closest possible flight, the next after the
immediate connection. If we re-book him, he will be eligible for paid stpc, if we do not re-book him, he is
not permitted for any stpc.
QR is NOT operating any immediate connection, all the connections have the transit time between 8 and
24 hours. OTQ passengers have to pay for STPC. Booking class is higher than otq in economy and all
business and first class. The passenger is already booked for the shortest connections on that day, the
passenger is eligible for STPC paid $125 (economy OTQ) or free of cost (economy other than OTQ,
business and first).
QR, there is no immediate connection and the desired cabin on the second shortest connection is sold-
out the next connection with seats available in the desired cabin on particular date, we will make the
passenger eligible for STPC (paid OTQ, free of cost all the rest).
Tickets booked with miles: a redemption tickets. The passengers are also eligible for STPC, but for
redemption tickets, STPC is ALWAYS PAID.
The passenger upgrades his ticket with miles (from economy to business) we collect the charge as per
business class if the class was not originally for free. If it was originally for free, we dont take any extra
money.
Itineraries that involve GCC countries STPC is not permitted, neither paid, nor free. It does not include
Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is excluded.
We dont provide STPC for children travelling alone, the flight attendant has to take care of the child.
No STPC for meda passengers, because they need special medical documentation.
No STPC for the passengers with temporary passports.
Code-share flights rules are the same, but both of them are at least marketed by QR and at least one is
operated by QR. Then we use general rules.
Interlines (marketed and operated by other airline than QR): interline going to or out of Doha STPC is not
permitted, no STPC at all.

Whats included:
1. Transit visa to exit this airport
2. Hotel shuttle
3. Accommodation
4. Vouchers for food (100QAR from 11 to 19 hours stay in economy, 19 to 24 hours 150QAR,

can still try to do it.
