All high priority comments inhibit the completion of the process that triggered it. This forces the Agent to deliver or delete the message before continuing. Comments that you add in Altea will not be visible outside the airport. If comment needs to be visible for others (phone agents, customer relations etc.), you must add the comment in the Norwegian Customer Portal for the information to be synchronized to the reservation. There are two types of comments:
• Pre-defined flight comments – comments that appear in the list depending on how business-rules have been set up.
• Free text comment – You can type maximum of 70 characters of text.
4.7.1 Adding Comments
To add a comment you select Customer and then add comment You can choose if you would like to add a pre-defined comment or write your own. You then need to choose where this comment needs to be shown and assign priority.

You can choose where the comment will be delivered, for most comments it will be “At the Gate”. For “Next Time” and “At Check-in”-comments the check-in will not be possible until the comments have been delivered to pax, so self-service check-in will not be possible.
The comment will have Priority High as default, but you can also choose Normal. The difference is that a High Priority comment will prevent the customer from being boarded/checked in
until the comment is delivered. A normal comment will not.

4.8 Seating
During customer acceptance Altea will allocate a seat to passenger if the passenger hasn’t prepaid for a seat reservation. Which seat is based on customer value, SSR, number of pax in reservation and if pax are travelling with INF/CHD. For customers that are linked together, Altea tries to seat them together. Before check-in of the customer Altea will preassign a theoretical seat for the passenger. This will not show up in Altea or the booking. However when you are taking up the seat map for a specific customer, it will show up with blocked seat that are available when you are taking up the seat map without a customer selected. Norwegian recommend not to do any seat changes on passenger, as this can break the seating logic and can lead to CHD sitting alone and other problems. For Charter flights and group bookings (booking class G) seat changes are not allowed. For specific seats with restrictions, Altea will check if customers are suitable or not, and will prompt you to confirm if pax are suitable for the seats. If you select no, but the passenger is suitable you will need to delete an “NOEX” SSR. Se details on how to delete SSR in chapter 4.9.2. In customer application you can
• Allocate seats
• De-allocate seats
• Change seats or seat preference
• Display a Customer Seat Map
The seat maps are originally created in Altea Inventory and stored on the Seat Server. The Seat Server also manages other aspects of seating, such as where customers are seated, and finding the most appropriate seat for the customer.

Links between Customers affect the way Customers are identified, accepted and updated. The primary purpose of linking is to ensure that Customers are seated together on a flight. Linking takes place automatically in the following situations:
• Customers are booked in the same PNR.
• Customers are accepted together.
• Customers are members of the same baggage pool.
• An infant booking is created or added to a Customer. Links can also be added, split and removed manually. Links between Customers and associated infants, EXST, and CBBG are created automatically. A link between a Customer and an infant cannot be removed. The link between Customer and CBBG can be removed, but it cannot be changed. The link between a Customer and EXST cannot be changed and can only be removed in case of disruption. Once Customers are linked (automatically or manually), all the Customers included in the link appear in the Customer Product (CP) table whenever you identify one or more of them for acceptance or update. Links are used by the seat server when assigning seats automatically during the Customer acceptance process.

The boarding group will be calculated by Altea CM when the boarding pass is issued. The boarding pass format has been updated to display the assigned boarding group:
Customers in boarding group PRIO/PREM must be given the opportunity to board the aircraft before customers in groups B, C and D. When aft stairs are used, boarding for groups C (seated aft) and D (seated forward) can be done simultaneously. Note that the boarding group is calculated individually for each passenger, meaning that in some cases passengers travelling together might have different boarding groups. Please use common sense in these cases. For example, a PRM passenger will normally be assigned boarding group PRIO. If the companion has been assigned group C the companion must still be allowed to board together with the PRM. Customers can be boarded manually by name even if their assigned boarding group is not yet open for boarding.
7.8.1 Boarding with remote parking
Priority Boarding will not be sold as an ancillary service for flights departing from stations where remote parking and bussing to the aircraft is used for the majority of flights. When boarding a flight which is parked remotely, the handling agent must ensure that customers in boarding group PRIO/PREM are boarded on the first bus. It is not a requirement to have a dedicated bus, but when more than one bus is used customers in boarding group PRIO/PREM must be given the opportunity to board the first bus.

10 Accepting Staff
Norwegian staff has the possibility to travel on discounted tickets on all scheduled flights in Norwegian network. All bookings need to be done themselves online. For S2 and R2A bookings a Norwegian staff needs to be travelling in the same pnr as the passenger and should show a Norwegian id-card. If a Norwegian staff are not travelling with passenger they cannot travel. Any case where it is suspected that this is not the case should be reported to [email protected] with the reference number and a short description about what happened. If more than 10 seats available on the flight they will automatically be given a seat. If there are less than 10 seats available they will have SBY.

10.1 Onload Standby Customers
Norwegian normally don’t overbook the flight, so most passenger on SBY is staff. In some cases, we have to switch aircraft to a smaller one. You can onload SBY passenger in two ways, either manually or with onload list. Norwegians preferred method is Onload list, as this automatically calculate who to onload and who to regrade in case a regrade is needed. You can access onload list from the Flight Application or Boarding Application.

10.2 Onload list
Onload list calculates who to onload according to Norwegians policy. When you press commit onload, the not checked in pax will go to status “not travelling” and they will lose the seat reservation. You can view the list all the time, but until the acceptance status is “CLOSED” you are not able to commit onload, or to change the onload recommendation. If the flight is overbooked you need to add a “Volunteer for denied boarding” element in Altea then Altea will automatically suggest this passenger for denied boarding. If you have made a manual regrade (sold upgrade) Altea will automatically suggest downgrading pax, and you need to stop it in Onload List screen by doing an onload edit. Onload list will not onload staff to Jump seat. If you want to give a jump seat to a staff passenger, you need to do it manually. Jere Altea suggest regrading 1 passenger from C to Y and to onload 1 normal staff and 2 staff passengers, as we only have seats for 2 of the 3 staff passengers.

11.1 Regrade
The regrade functionality is used if you want the passenger to travel in another class compared to the booking, example if the pax wish to pay for an upgrade at the airport or that the Y class is overbooked but we have available seats in C. Passenger regraded up to C class is not entitled to Lounge access. The regrade functionality is duplicated at different levels depending of what kind of regrade you want to do (for a specific passenger or that Altea chooses self which pax to regrade) Norwegian staff (ID pax) passengers have the same rules regarding regrades as normal passengers. When you upgrade passenger, you need to add an “Print on onboard service list” comment that the passenger is upgraded.
11.1.1 Manual Regrade (customer application)
Manual regrade is done when you want to regrade a specific passenger, example if you have a passenger that has paid at the airport for an upgrade. If you have overbooking you use the Regrade list instead. Go in to the passenger, and choose Manual Regrade
Choose why the pax is regraded. In the extra information field you add the receipt number if the pax has paid for an upgrade at the airport. Altea will not give you a warning if the new cabin is already full, so you need to check availability first.
