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.


4 Edition 3.0

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:

Chapter 2

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.

International Fare Display The following is an example of an international fare display between Frankfurt and Madrid:

The airlines listed before common fare code (/YY*) participate in these fares. Those airlines listed after the common fare code do not participate in YY fares. The display also contains a tax message on the second and third line.

The fare display includes airline ticketing fees, also called OB fees, if they apply.

The following line contains the rate of exchange and the rounding information:

ROE 0.684581 UP TO 1.00 EUR

These rates of exchange are for fares filed in a national currency.

The next line contains the following information which is based on your terminal defaults:

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.


16 Edition 3.0

If your terminal is situated in the US, your system default would be a low to high fare display. See the following example of the same fare display, but requested from a US terminal. It is slightly different:

This type of display uses the at sign (@) instead of a plus sign (+) to indicate that more information exists.

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

When fares exist to a specific airport, the system appends a message to advise you that you can display these fares as well. For example:

Viewing a List of Request Types and Passenger Type Codes

HE FQL

When a FQD entry results in no available fares, because a route is not served by a specified airline or no fares exist for the request type, the system displays a list of request types and passenger type codes applicable to the city pair and airlines you have requested.

The system automatically enters the FQL. For example:

FQDNYCLAX/AAA/R,-AB NO FARE ON THIS MARKET/CXR CO DL F9 HP LC NJ NK NW N7 PA SY TW TZ UA US YX FQL

NYCLAX AA FARE/PASSENGER TYPE LIST **DESCRIPTION** **FARE DISPLAY** **PRICING** CH CHILD CH CH COUPON DISCOUNT PSGR PR MSBC CX CHILD CX CH GOVERNMENT TRAVEL YG GVT MILITARY CHILD MC MNN MILITARY CONFIRMED PSGR YM MIL MILITARY DEPENDENT MD MDP PRIMARY COMPANION YC CN VISIT ANOTHER COUNTRY ADULT VA VAC VISIT ANOTHER COUNTRY CHILD VC VNN > PAGE 1/ 1

The following table describes the headings in the display:

Table: Explanation of Headers in the FQL Display

Heading Description

**DESCRIPTION** Description of the passenger types for fares that exist between the city pairs.

**FARE DISPLAY** The request type codes to use with the FQD entry to display fares or specific types of passengers. For example: FQDNYCLAX/AAA/R,-YG

**PRICING** The passenger type codes to use with pricing entries so that the system automatically prices the type of fare you want. For example: FXP/RVAC


24 Edition 3.0

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:

Table: Expanded Parameter Codes

Code Request Type

EU Economy Unrestricted

NAP No Advance Purchase Information

NDA No Day or Time Information

NMX No Maximum Stay Information

NMN No Minimum Stay Information

NPE No Penalty Information

PE Penalty Information

NR No Restriction

NMM No Minimum and No Maximum Fare

NRF Non-Refundable Fares

RF Refundable Fares

You can also add a specific currency amount or a percentage to the penalty value code, for those fares that carry a penalty condition lower than or equivalent to the amount referenced in the entry. For example:

FQDLONNYC/ABA/R,*PE100A

-or-

FQDNYCPAR/AAF/R,*PE25P


Chapter 3

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.


Chapter 4
