1. Presentation Course Of Amadeus GDS: Hello. My name is Reda katav. I am a training consultant on the Amadeus Global
Distribution System, and I am also the designer of the Amadeus Order
simulation software called Amadeus Training. This course is aimed at anyone even beginners who hopes or wishes to work in
travel agencies or in airports in order to be
able to make reservations, issue tickets, and of course, manage everything
related to post sale. Also, this course is intended for travel agents
who are already working and want to deepen their knowledge of the Amadeus global distribution system. In general, this is how we
go about taking the course. Objective of this course is, first of all, how to make
one or more reservations, then how to price those
reservations, and of course, how to issue an
electronic ticket, how to generate what
we call an issuance. Then how to price
those reservations. Then, of course, how to
issue an electronic ticket, how to generate what
we call an issuance. Then also, among other things,
there are other courses. Next, how to handle special
service requests, such as, for example, medical assistance, special meals or pets
in the hold, et cetera. Next, how to manage post sale, which means consulting
and pricing conditions, how to handle refunds
how to handle exchanges, the case of revalidation
and reissuance. This course contains
about 40 videos. Each course is equipped
with a practical exercise, a hands on activity on
the Amadeus system. Let's get started. I wish you good luck and let's
start the first lesson.
2. - How the AMADEUS System Works: Does the Amadeus system work? We're going to explain how
the system works in general, how to use the scenic
platform connect, how to log in, and what the process is like for
a new travel agency. Keep in mind that aside from the regulatory
requirements in each country to open
a travel agency, once you have the license or business registration
that allows you to open a travel agency, you absolutely need to contact. The IATA agency in your country, which is usually
located in the Capital. It's the International Air
Transport Association. They will assign
you what's called an IATA number that will be
specific to your agency. Once you have the IATA number, you need to contact, of course, with your official documents, the Amadeus company in
your country or capital to request the
credentials needed to access the Amadeus GDS system. In general, the
first thing Amadeus, the Amadeus company will do
is give you an office ID. It's an identity number
for your agency. Know that every travel agency in the world has its
own unique number. We call that the office ID that we will specify
regarding the login. It's like the agency's
ID card number, and for each agent
in your agency, Amades of course, will
provide a paid subscription. We'll assign you a
username to log in, a password to log in as well, and a third identification
which is called the agent signature.
We'll cover that later. In the upcoming
lessons about what the agents signature will be
used for in a booking file. Basically, you have three
pieces of information, the username, the password, and the agent signature. Now, how do you log into the Amadeus platform once you know that your agent
will be authorized? With any browser,
you need to type HTTPs chat clink
platform Connect, amads.com, and the invitation
window will appear. Here you need to
enter the username that was assigned to you
by the Amadeus company. Here, you will
enter the password that was assigned
to you by Amadeus. Here you need to
enter your office, the office ID of the agency. As I said, it's a number that is uniquely assigned to each
agency around the world. Sometimes it's entered
automatically at the agency, but you're outside the agency, like at home, for example, and you want to access it, you'll have to enter
the office ID exactly. Next to it, you have what
we call function codes, function codes, what
you'll be working with. For example, if you want to enter production
mode, you type PR. That means everything
you do will, let's say, be effective. For example, if you issue a
ticket, you collect payment, and if you issue a ticket, the company will receive the information that
you've issued a ticket. If you just want to learn
or try something out, you can enter training
mode with the code TR. These are the main function codes that you'll need to use. In PR mode, you're
in production mode, in effective mode in real mode. TR is a training mode. Everything you do
won't be sent to Amadeus and won't be
sent to the company. This will allow you to try a lot of things before
making any mistakes. That's how you simply
and easily log into the Amadeus
SelecPlatform connect. Just like that, there you go. The main window of
Amadeus will appear. Here you have your username. New renovation file, new order page, new
traveler profile. That's what we're going to
cover throughout this course. Here you have the invitation. Now Amadeus expects some
queries. What do you want? Searching for flights, making
a reservation, pricing. That's what we're going to
learn throughout this course. Just to wrap this
up, for example, if I request this AN, which will explain well, the explicit request if
I do AN, for example, for September 12 from
Charles D Gol to Brussels, we're going to learn all that. We'll learn the command, exactly how to use it with its options, how to specify the dates, specify the departure
airport code, the arrival airport
code, and of course, the options to specify
a certain airline. So to see certain classes, all of that will be
covered one by one. For example, just
to wrap this up, here I'm asking about
availability on September 12. Are there any flights? N means, are there any flights
on September 12 between Charles De Gol in Paris and
the code BRU for Brussels? Here we have a
display, of course, Amadeus is responding that
indeed there are flights. Here we have three,
specifically, the first one at 9:00 A.M. The second at 11:00 A.M.
And the third at 10:00 P.M. I invite you to check out the lesson on the AN
command right after this example to
understand how to use the AN command after this
example and presentation. Just a quick reminder about
the IATA codes for cities, know that the International air. Transport Association assigns an Iota code
to each airport. The Iota codes for
these airports are made up of three letters. For example, here for Paris, Charles De Gaul, it's
CDG, for Barcelona Pratt, it's BCNF Leonardo
Da Vinci in Rome, its FCO, and so on. Of course, in the course
on encoding and decoding, there will be commands
that allow us to find from a given city the Aata codes
of the airports in that city. The most important
thing to know is that every airport in the world is coded with three letters. Of course, also know
that the months for the dates are coded
with three letters as well. For example, to say May 12, 2024 corresponds
to May 12, 2024. In the end, it's the first
three letters of the month, but in English, January, February, March, April, March. If you want a date, you'll
need to include, of course, the three letters of the month, three letters along
with the day, like here, May 12, 2024. The most important thing is
to know that the months are also coded with three
letters and the coding, of course, for the
airlines as well. All the airlines in the world
are coded with two letters. Air France is AF, Iberia is IB, Royal Air Marok is AT, air Algeri is AH, Alitalia is AZ and so on. We'll know, of course,
we're going to study the course
coding and decoding, which allows us to find out from any airline
based on its name, how to display and
know once and for all its IATA code and
vice versa. Of course. We can also from
the airline code, find out which airline it is and which country
it belongs to. That's what we're going to do in a more precise and detailed way. Also, to wrap up, just know that generally
speaking, you know yourself. Flights usually display
with the booking classes. In general, the premium
classes are class J, class F, class YOW, class S, and class A. The economy classes range from class Rc to class G. Of course, that doesn't mean that all
flights have these classes. It depends on the device
itself being used. Of course, the classes
aren't the same on a Boeing 737 as they are on a
Boeing 787. There you go. Generally speaking, those
are the premium classes. Here are the economy classes. That's what we're
going to study, of course, in more detail. Thank you. I invite you
to check out my videos.
3. - How to search for flight availability: This is the first
course on Amadeus, GDS. Today, we will learn how to search for
flight availability, how to ask the Amadeus system what flights are available from a certain date at a
departure airport to an arrival airport. The main example is AN, which means neutral
availability. We need to enter the date here according to the
coding we explained, the code of the
departure airport, and the code of the
arrival airport. This is generally speaking. Let's take an example.
If we want to search for available flights
on January 17 between Parial De Gol Airport, IATA Code CDG two
Barcelona, IATA code BCN, the command will be AN, which means request for
availability on January 17, Charles De Gal to Barcelona. We will now do an example
on the Amadea system. We will do an example of a
flight availability request. So how do we make the request? Are there flights or seats
available on January 17 between Charles De Gaul,
Paris, and Barcelona? Are there any availabilities? The command is Ann.
Ultimately, we are querying the Amada system. Are there any flights?
We say it with AN. Then comes the date we are
requesting January 2017. I remind you that the months are coded in three letters,
of course, in English. Then the airport, the
departure airport code, coded in three
letters, of course, we will see the
following lessons on the coding and encoding
of cities and airports. Charles De Gaul, CDG, Paris, Arrival,
Barcelona, there you go. We send the request to Amadeus, which will respond whether there are availabilities or not, we confirm. There you go. So what do we notice
that there is already a response
Amadeus, availability. Nice. Why? Nice?
Because the office ID, the agency that made this
request is located in Nice. After the RP you
have NCE 180986. Which repeats twice. It is
the office ID of the agency. I remind you that each agency in the world has
its own office ID. If you want, it's the
agency's ID card number. Here you have the
date January 17, and the system told us that
there are indeed five flights available on January 17 between Charles De
Gal and Barcelona. How to read the segments? We have here five segments. We call them itineraries, if you want. They are segments. There are five possibilities,
so five segments. Read the first segment. We are told that
there is a flight available operated
by Air France. We will see that the
airline codes are encoded in two letters, F for Air France, VY, for viewing airlines,
IB, for Iberia. The first flight is
operated by AF and here we have the
flight number AF 5335. Here, we will see right away what the
booking classes are. We will move on here.
After the slash, you have the code for
the departure city. Departure from Charles de Gol. Here is the terminal number. Departure from Charles
D Gol terminal one, Arrival in Barcelona,
terminal one. Then you have in this
column the departure time, 715, Arrival 1045. Then you have the E, which
means electronic ticket. All tickets currently are
of the electronic type, zero. Is a time indicator. The system is saying
that the departure is at 7:15 on January 17, arriving at 10:45 on January 17. If we had E one, it would
mean it arrives the next day. For example, if we had a flight that departs
at 11:00 P.M. Arriving at 4:00 A.M. We would have E one here
to tell us that there is a difference of one day between the departure time
and the arrival time. And the last three letters know that it is the
equipment code, meaning the aircraft that
operates this flight. Here, in this case, it is an Airbus 330 and we
will see in the next lesson encoding and
decoding how to know the equipment codes that
operate a certain flight. On and so forth, what remains for us to do here is to explain rather the list of letters that appears here
are the booking classes. In the first line here
are the premium classes, business classes, et cetera. The second line concerns
the economy classes. We even have premium economy, basic economy, and
economy economy. Here, know that the
classes are displayed. From the most expensive
to the least expensive. For this flight, the
most expensive class is F and the least
expensive class is Y, and the number next to it is the number of available seats. Here, in this case, we have five available seats in class F, one seat in class A, and
four seats in class. The last classes have two
seats in economy class Y, and you notice here
that there is class M, C. C means that
this class is full, that we cannot book in this
class, as we will see later. Let's take, for example, the fourth flight now. So what does that mean? That this fourth flight is
operated by Volling Airlines. The flight number is VY
44887, segment number four. The most expensive class is class U. There are
two seats left. B, there are no seats left. C, there is one seat left
and so on and so forth. Cheaper. There is one seat left on this flight
that departs from Charles De Gul Parismal one and arrives in Barcelona
at terminal two. The departure time is 7:45 P.M. And the arrival
time is 9:45 P.M. Operated by an Airbus 330.
So we have the clients. When we show this
to them, we say, Sir, there are possibilities. There are five
flights available, the first at 7:15 A.M. The second at 8:30 A.M. The third at 2:15 P.M. The fourth at 7:15 P.M. And the last at 8:00
P.M. There you go. Now, we have learned how to
read the availability tables. We will do another example. IG is for closing, let's say, to clear the screen or close a file, as
we will see later. For example, if we write this ANN means I am
asking for availability, I am querying the Amadeus
system on May 22, or why. Mars, I am telling him, show me the
availability for May 22 between Ole, Paris, and Marsill. When we display here, you notice that we have
possibilities, three possibilities, there
are three possible segments. If there were no possibilities, the system would have displayed
Amadeus, no availability. So we have three possibilities. The first flight
departs at 9:00 A.M. The second flight
departs at 11:00 A.M. The third flight
departs at 10:00 P.M. Let's take
the third flight. For example, the third flight is operated by the
airline IB, so Iberia. We will see later, as
I have already said, how to know the airline codes, but know that it is
coded with two letters. Unlike port stops, it is
coded with three letters. So the flight is
operated by Iberia. It is flight number 71 74, departure from
Orly terminal one, arrival in Marsiil ominal two. The departure time is 10:00 P.M. Arrival at 11:25 P.M.
On an Airbus 330. This flight has several
available classes. The most expensive
class is class U, where there are three
seats left, F two, two seats, C eight, three seats, N nine. There you go. I wanted
to get to that. When you have a class
where it says nine, it doesn't necessarily
mean nine seats available. It means nine and more. As here, the 11:00 flight operated by Voling class S
has nine seats and more. On the other hand, class J, that's right, has five seats. When we have Y one, there
is one seat available. W nine means nine
seats and more. When we have, for
example, here, YC, that is to say, on
the 9:00 flight, the cheapest class is
full. There you go. I therefore ask you to
follow the next lesson, which still concerns flight
availability requests, but with the Option
A for airline C for a request for certain classes to request availability of
flights by correspondence.
4. - How to know the IATA codes of cities, airlines, countries: I In this course, we will look at the coding
and encoding for Iota codes. The main instructions for
Iota coding and encoding, as we will see in the example, are that from a city, we
want to know which airports there are and what
their Iota codes are coded in three letters. We use the command
D. For example, if we enter DAN, New York, we will get
all the airports in New York with their IATA
codes in three letters. Conversely, if we want to know which city is associated with a three letter
airport code, we use the command DAC and here we enter the three
letters of the airport code. For airlines, when we know
the name of the airline, for example, America Airlines, we simply enter DNA
America Airlines and we will get the IATA code for America Airlines,
which is AA. The opposite is also true. For example, if we write DNA, followed by the full name of
the airline, for example, Emirates, we will get the IATA code for
Emirates, which is EK. Now for the type of aircraft that appears in the
PNR when we enter DNE, the three digits that appear in the PNR will give us
the type of aircraft, meaning Boeing, EVAS,
and others, of course. Now, for countries,
you just need to enter DC followed by
the name of the country. For example, when
we enter France, we will get the IATA
code for France, which is FRA, and we will also have the
name of its currency, for example, Euro
and we will have the code associated
with this currency, which is EUR, we will now
look at the examples. For example, when we enter DAN
city like here, DAN Paris, we will get Pas City Paris, which is the code
for the city of Paris and the airports
here they are. When we have the letters
AAA, it means airport. There is Orly airport, which is coded Aeta ORY, Charles DeGaol airport which
is CDG and Bava Airport, which is PVA, for
the other codes. For example, the opposite DAC. When we have the code,
we find the city. For example, when
we enter DAC LHR, the Amadeo system
will display London. It's London, which means that this airport is
located in London. Another example that we will see now in the Amadeus system, of course, when we enter
DNA for an airline, the name of the
airline, for example, when we enter DNA viewing, the system will display VY, which is the Aeta code
for the airline viewing. When we enter, for example, DAF, the system will tell me AF, which is the two
letter Aata code for the airline air front. Finally, when we enter DNE, the three letter name
that appears in the PNR, for example, DNA 360, the system will tell us
that it is an airbus that can carry 250 to 300 passengers. We will do examples, of
course, on the system. For countries, it is
very important to know their currency and
currency code. For example, when we enter DC, the name of the
country's currency, like here as an
example, DC Canada, the system will respond
Canada, the country is C, the currency is the
Canadian dollar, and the currency code is CAD. We will now just do
a simple example of the first coding that we did. So if we want to know the name
or coding of the airports, that we will use in the
availability commands AN, for example, the
airport codes of Paris. We will type DAN, determine airport name, Paris. And here is the display.
A means airport. Par is the airport code, the code for the city
of Paris, Par is Paris. Here it is airport, CDG City, Paris, Charlevoi, ALB G, the airport of Le Borge, France, Ori, Paris, Ole. Here is the complete
list of airports in Paris. Another example. For instance, if we put DAN, DAN, for example, Las
Vegas, just in case. So here we have the three
airports of Las Vegas. The code for the city
of Las Vegas is CLAS, LAS City Las Vegas. The code for the city
of Las Vegas is LAS. There are three airports.
The first airport, its code is HSH, it is Anderson. LAS is McMahon and
municipal airport. That's it for the cases
of Dan and so on. Note, if we enter Dan France, we will get the code
for all the airports in France or the
associated country. So here we can see
almost all the airports, Angus, Ajaxio,
Anglem, et cetera. Here we have the airport codes. This way, in case you have
a request for availability, you will know how to
use the airport code. Now the opposite. That is, if we want to find the city associated with
the airport code, in this case, it will be
determined airport city. Here, we enter the airport code. If I put HR, which
airport is it? Where is it located? In
which city? There you go. It responds to me, LHR is an airport in London and
it's called Heathrow. It's in England. We can
continue like this. ALG for example. It will be Algiers Ruara
Median airports. We can continue like this.
There are several MSAs, for example, it's
the airport code for Marcell Mignon. There you go. So if we type, for example, we will
bring up a file. We will bring up a file
that we have already done. For example, there you go. I have a file here.
Here we have 330. It's the aircraft used
for this segment. 727 is the aircraft
used for this segment. If I want to know
which plane it is, I just have to type DNE, determine name equipment, 330. The system will
tell me Airbus 330. This airbus has a capacity
of 240 to 250 passengers. If I type, on the
other hand, DNA 770, the system will tell
me it's a Boeing 770 with a capacity
of 300 to 340. Now for airlines,
airlines is DNA. If I type DNA, for
example, Emirates, to know Emirates, to know the Aeta code of the airline,
what does it respond? DNA EK Emirates. The airline Emirates
has the Aeta code EK. It belongs to the United Arab
Emirates and vice versa, DNA works both ways. If I have the name,
the Aeta code of the airline and I want to
know which airline it is, I just have to do DNA. For example, if I type
TU just by chance, it will tell me TU concerns
Tunsir if I type NADL, I will tell me that it is Delta Airlines in
the United States. Finally, for the PI codes and the currency codes of the
country, for example, if someone wants
to go to Mexico, wants to know the currency
used in that country, I just have to type DC,
determine country Mexico. It will give me that the
country code for Mexico is MX. The currency is called
the Mexican Nu Peso and the currency code is MXN. That's roughly the
coding and encoding.
5. - The different options for requesting flight availability: Of the course on
flight availability. Today we will talk
about the options of the AN availability order. Know that it is
possible to request availability from a
departure city to a destination city by asking with an option
certain options. For example, if the
client wants to choose a flight
segment, an itinerary, with a certain airline
only, in this case, you will need to use
the slash option here, you put the airline code. For example, AAA means that he only wants availability
with America Airlines. We can also request
flight availability for a certain class
or cabin only. This case, you will need to use the C option and here the
class code as we saw earlier. Of course, we can request several options
at the same time. Generally speaking, you
write the AEN command, the departure date, the
departure airport code, and the arrival airport code. If you just want only
a certain class, simply type GC and class code. For example, F will
be for first class, Y will be for economy class, Y, only those availabilities. If we want Availability only
with a certain airline, we just need to
type the A option and here the airline code. We will also see in the example how to request an itinerary
with a connection. In this case, you
will need to put X and the code of
the connecting city. Let's do the examples. We are looking for
availability on January 17 between Charles
D Gaul and Barcelona. If we leave it like this, the
Amadeus system will display all the airlines that operate this flight if they
exist, of course. What do we notice here? That
we have exactly six flights, one, two, three, four, five, six, the
first at 9:22 A.M. The second at 10:45 A.M. The third at 7:15
P.M. Et cetera. Note that the first
three flights are operated by the
airline Air France. A A AF, and the
fourth one as well. But the fifth one,
the one at 2:15 P.M. Is operated
by the airline VY, which is the code
for viewing online. The sixth is operated by
the airline IB, Iberia. We will see in a future lesson how to easily know the
codes of airlines. We have four flights
operated by Air France, one flight by Verling and
the last one by Iberia. But now, let's assume
the client asks us only the availability
for the same trip, but only with Air France. We enter the availability
request for January 17, Charles De Gol Marcell. We add the AF option, which means availability
only with the airline Air France. What
do we notice here? Unlike the first display, the system shows three
flights on January 17, only with Air France. Then of course, we will choose seats which will be
the following classes. The same thing if
the client requests the same availability,
January 17, Charles G M but wants to
depart in first class, the available seats
in first class for this flight segment, January 17, Charles the Gol, Mars here we put option
C and next to it, we put the class we want, C F. What do we notice here
that we have F two, F seven? F one. This means that it
tells us that on the 7:15 A.M. Charles De Gul Mars flight, there are two seats
left in first class. On the 8:30 A.M. Charles
DeGol MarseilFlight, there are seven seats
left in first class. On the 4:15 P.M. Flight, there is one seat left in first class. Of course, we can
definitely combine. Between the two, for example, someone asks us for January 17, still sticking to
the same example, Charles D Gol MA. He wants to ask
about the classes. He tells us, here it is. I want to depart from
the cheapest classes in class Y, for example. I request availability
in class Y, but only with the
airline viewing, for example, in this case, we will put A V Y. This is what the
availability is on January 17 between Charles
De Gol and MSA in class Y, with the airline viewing Align. So what do we notice? He tells us that on January 17, look, the first flight
is operated by Vuling. There are two seats
left in class Y. The second flight has seven
seats available in class Y, and the third has
one seat left in class Y with the airline Vuling. A, V Y, the V Y are there,
the requested class. These are the requested
classes. There you go. This summarizes a bit
of what we have done.
6. - The PNR, passenger name record or how to make a reservation: Today we will study booking, the passenger name record, what is called the PNR. Here's an example,
a reservation for Mr. John Eric with
Air France in class, why departing on April 12 from Paris Shale D
Gul to Madrid Mad. This is how the reservation
will be displayed. Now we will see in this course, how to make a reservation
on the Amada system. This is how the
reservation is displayed. Here we have the last
name, first name, gender, this is the segment,
the itinerary for Mr. John Eric took,
we will study it now. Then there is a contact element, phone number, email,
address, et cetera. There will be a special
course on contact elements. TikoK means that the HK type reservation
has been confirmed. At the end of the reservation,
you will, of course, have a reservation number that will be displayed
when you check in. Now, for the contact element, for the itinerary, here is how the itinerary
is displayed. Here is the segment number. Here, we can have this only
if the person has typed, as we will see, this is the subject of the
course, SS one. I take a seat in class
on segment three. How to read the segment,
the itinerary, here it is. Segment number, this
is the airline code, the flight number,
the class he took, the departure date,
the departure airport in Aeta code terminal one, the arrival airport
in terminal two. HK means confirmed seat,
a confirmed seat here. Departure time, arrival
time, E ticket, zero means arrived the same day and here is the
type of aircraft. Here we go now. What are the five mandatory
elements of a PNR? There are five. After requesting a display of availability
on a certain flight, as we saw in the
previous lesson, you must absolutely use the
SS command to take a seat. We will see the example now. Then you enter the
name and first name of the passengers and their
gender using the NM command. Then you need to use the
TCOk TKTL or TKXL command, as we will see in
a future lesson to confirm the reservation. TKK means to confirm
the reservation. You must absolutely provide at least one contact element
to reach the passenger, either a phone
number, an address, a mobile phone, a home
phone, or an email. Next, you need to sign with
the agent's signature. The signature was provided
by the Amadeus Company. Here are the five mandatory
elements of a PNR SS, LM, TKK, AP, RF. Once you have done that,
you must absolutely record your reservation
using ER or ET. Once you have recorded
it, the system will provide you with
a reservation number. So we are going to make
a complete reservation. We are looking for availability between Paris Shale De Gol and Madrid Mad on April
12 with Air France, it will be and scheduled
flight on April 12, Charles de Gol Paris
Madrid with Air France. We add the A option like
accompanied by the airline code. There you go. We have
three possible segments. We have three possible
segments, as we can see here. So we have segment one, segment two, and Segment three. Segment one, Her France, Charles de Gol, Madrid, de Part at 7:15. The second segment, Charles
De Gol Madrid at 8:30. The third segment, 1945, arriving at 21:05, and here
we have the booking classes. We tell the customer that
there are availabilities. It is up to him to choose the
departure time that suits. So let's assume he asks
us to depart at 19:45. So if he says 1945, we need to book
segment number three, 45, so we must book
segment number three. Segment number three is, if he asks for 830, we book segment two,
715 segment one. So he took, we assume
segment three. So what did we say? The first
step is to take a seat. We will take for one
passenger SS, how many seats? We will take one passenger. Now, he took 7:45 P.M. We have all the
booking classes here. If the client doesn't
ask us for anything, we take the cheapest class. In this case, the cheapest class is class Y, the last
one on the list. The most expensive class is
the first one displayed, F, there are two seats left, so we can definitely
take a seat. SS, we take one seat. In class Y. 1945, so it's
segment number three, we type three, S one, Y three, number of seats,
the booking class, and the segment we have
chosen, and there you go. The PNR is starting
to be created. We have taken flight AF 3584. Here it is in class Y
on April 12 day four. Day four is based on
the universal calendar. Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday. It's a Thursday. Departure from Charles De Gal terminal one. Arrival in Madrid terminal two means that the seat
is not yet confirmed. One seat, 7:45 P.M. 9:05
P.M. That's perfect. We enter the passenger's name. How many passengers do we have? One only. So we type
NM, one passenger. When we type M one, it means that what follows is the first name and last
name of a passenger. So we said John and you
separate the last name from the first name with
a slash mandatory. John, Eric, and we
add the gender, Mr.. This seat is assigned to Mr.
John Eric and we validate. Here we have the PNR
starting to appear. The office ID of the agency. John Eric took the Air France flight from Charle De Gol to Madrid right after
the seat is in HN. We must absolutely confirm the seat assignment,
we type TikoK. What do we notice
when we type TCOk? We notice that the status
of the reservation has changed from Gen one to HK, which means seat confirmed. Next, we need to enter at
least one contact detail. Here, I will intentionally
enter several. If we want to enter
a mobile phone, we type AP, which
means contact detail. Meaning we will input
the mobile phone number. For example, we take a
phone number 05555 A, hut belongs to this phone
slash passenger one. Although the slash
passenger one is not mandatory here because we
have only one passenger. P one means passenger one. Here, John Eric,
APM means mobile. If I also want to possibly
enter the person's email, AP, contact detail,
E, which means email. We will take an
email, for example, John 12 at gbl.com.
There you go. I clearly said that at least one contact detail is required, but nothing prevents
having several. If we want to enter A,
home landline phone, it will be APH home, which means home, for example, 0.41 0.41 0.41, to whom
does this phone belong? Always P one. Here are the codes
for the APN command. As you can enter, of
course, if you type AP without a following code,
you can enter free text. For example, here I can put 099999 or 066666
for a second phone, we assume we can enter
it like this too. It doesn't matter.
When you type AP, you can enter free text here
if you are more specific, APM for mobile, APE for email, it is mandatory to enter APE. The email APH means man. These are the contact
details in a PNR. What do we have left, we said? Then the agent who makes this reservation must sign with the signature provided
to him by Amadeus. RF is next to the
signature code. My signature code that was
provided to me by Amadeus is RICARICA you notice here that the signature
appears at the top. You understand why this is. This way, Amadeus or the
Airfrance company will know. Which agency made
the reservation and which agent made
the reservation? F, the signature
appears at the top. Once it's done, the
seat is reserved. What do I have left?
I have to register. When I register, I will wait
for the system's response. When the system responds with end of transaction complete, it gives me the file
number 89270 next to it. It will appear here and here. 12320080 9217 oh, it will
appear here and here. Good. Know that the file number is not necessarily a number. It can be an alphanumeric form. Once we have that, it's done, the reservation has been made. We can send it to the
client to Mr. Janic, say it's good, it's reserved. Here is your file number. Finally, to close the file, and let's say to
process another person, we type IG to close the file. There you go. We have made
a complete reservation.
7. - How to find a reservation file: A Today we will see how
to find a PNR record, a reservation record
for a certain client. Know that when we have
already issued our PNR, when the client comes
back to see us, we will use the RT
command to find a record. There are several ways to find
or redisplay a PNR record, a reservation, either by using the reservation number
or the record number. In this case, we simply type
the RT command and here. We enter the record number. As we have an example
here, RT 37041, it will display the record
37041, the reservation number. This is the first way. When
we search by record number, we just have to type RT
and the record number, which I remind you can
be alphanumeric next. The second way to
simply search for a record or alternatively, is to search by name. In this case, you
will need to type the RT command and
enter the name. As here, when we
enter Rt Jen Gene, Mr. Gene's record
will be displayed. If there are several
people named Jean, we will see later how to find the record of
the concerned person. So with the name, you need
to put the slash the 100. If it's just a number, you enter RT directly followed by the number
as we will see here, and of course, we will do an example now on
the Amadeo system. Now, if we want to handle the person who
comes to do something, a date change or a class change, et cetera, we want to
find their record. If she hasn't brought
her record number, we can search directly by
entering RTGS Patrick. Thus, the record number, the reservation
will be displayed. Let's now do an example. But before the example, no
one very important thing. When you are working on Amadeus, when you type RT without any
argument, it means back. It will display the
previous display mask. That is to say, if you made a mistake by typing
RT, you go back. The previous page
will be displayed. Let's do an example now. Et's do the examples of
searching for records. First example concerns
searching by record number. This assumes that we know
the passenger record number. In this case, RT means retrieve and we enter the
passenger record here, for example, 37 oh 41. So we can see that the
record is displayed. Here you have 37
oh 41 displayed in the first line of the
passenger record. Let's see the other case. Let's suppose Mr.
Bertran Luke presents himself and we want to
see his reservation. In this case, we type RT. We know the last
name and first name. And we can see that the
record is displayed. It is record 55336. It was simply enough to do
RT Jean Bertrand and Luke. Let us carefully examine
the other scenario. Let us assume that Mr. Jean briefly presents himself and I want to display his record. When I type RT Jean. If there is only one person
named Jean in the system, it will directly display his
record, as we saw earlier. But look at what
will happen here. Here, we have Jean Patrick, Jean Eric, Jean Patrick,
Jean Patrick Jean Patrick. This means that Jean Patrick is either the same person who made many bookings or it
is a case of duplicates. Here, the system displays
successive numbers and shows the record numbers next to them can access the
records we want. For example, we can access the
Jean Patrick 37041 record. The first case, we can display we can use RT with
a sequence number like RT three so T
three here it is. It's a Jean Patrick record concerning the
booking on viewing, July 30, Madrid, Lisbon. Let's redo the example. Ati Display shows all records
with names called Jean. Let's assume now that we want to search for the
record of Jean Eriq. If I want to search,
I either put RT two or I use
the record number. We can use rt32 and oh
75, and here it is. The record for Jean Eriq, it's with Air
France on April 20, Charles De Gol, Barcelona. A small note. Be aware that the record number is not
necessarily numeric, can consist of
alphabetical characters. We can have, for
example, 32 AB six. It's the same system,
nothing changes. Now, everything we've seen here for now are the
cryptic methods. Let's look at the
visual methods. When you use the
window here that says search reservation
record or file, if you search by record
number here in the visual, window, you just have to type
what you're looking for. If I search by record number, I just have to type
the record number I am looking for 37041. So the system will directly
display the record for me. Now, if I want to
search by name, I can either do Rt
Ge or I type Jean here and it will directly display all the records related
to the person named Jean. If I want to display
Jean Patrick, I can type, for example, RT one and it will show me Jean Patrick's
reservation on Air France, July 30, Madrid, Lisbon. If I want to search now by first and last
name, for example, I search for Mr. Bertrand
Bertrand Luke who is known for his work
in philosophy and mathematics is directly here, and if I made a mistake, Bertrand with a Bertrand Luke, I had written with an M,
the system will display the entire reservation of Mr. Bertrand Luke
and there you go.
8. - How to make a reservation for multiple passengers for a round trip: We will now see an
example of how to make a reservation for multiple
people and multiple segments. That is to say, for example, we will make a
reservation for a family. Of several passengers and
in multiple segments. For example, a one
way and a return. What we are going to do is an example of the
reservation for the Fabian Jean and Fabian
Danielle family who plan to travel from Brussels
to London on May 22, with a return from London
to Brussels on May 29. In first class, they want
to depart in first class. We have here misses Fabien's
phone and Daniel's email. We'll now do an example of a reservation on
the Amadeus system. Let's start processing
this reservation. The first method for
processing a round trip. There are three or four methods. We will address them one by one. The first method, the
simplest is to process the outbound flight first
and then the return. The outbound flight,
what did we say? We said that we were
perhaps looking for availability on May 22, so Brussels to London, the airport code for Brussels
is BRU the code for London, for example, there
are several airports. H two is LHR. We will see in a previous
lesson in a following lesson, sorry, how to know
the airport codes. So slash why the slash? Because it only requests
availability in class, so it will be CF. Here we have three
flights, the one at 7:15, the one at 8:30 and
the one at 16:15. Segment one, segment two, segment three. There
are two of them. They have the choice between segment one because there are two seats left in
class F at 8:30, where there are
seven seats left in class F. It is better to
avoid the third segment, the one at 16:15. Why? Because there is
only one seat in class. F. Of course, they can each
be reserved in their class, but of course, their
request was in first class. Let's assume our clients choose
the 715 flight, Brussels, terminal one, London,
Heathrow Airport, terminal one. It's segment one. What are we going
to take? We are going to take two
seats on segment one, it will be says two seats in first class
on segment number one. There it is. The PNR
starts to appear, we check one Air France
4885. That's right. Class on May 22, Day two, so it's a Tuesday, Departure from Brussels terminal
one, Arrival in London, H two terminal one, HN two, so two
unconfirmed seats. Departure at 7:15 A.M. Arrival at 10:45 A.M.
15 arrivals 1045. Then before finalizing the PNR, we will process the return. We said the return
was on May 29, but from London to Brussels. So we ask her for
availability on May 29. On May 29, there it is. LHR, so the departure
is London arriving in Brussels and we still request in class Bobov
at the client's request. So we have three
possible segments left. Here, we ask them what
time they want to return. Let's assume they want
to return at 8:30. We have seven seats
available in class Boniv on Air France flight 96 to 37, so we will take SS two seats, still in class F, but 830, that's segment number two,
two, and there it is. Now we have the two segments reserved but not
confirmed. There it is. May 22, Brussels,
London, May 29. London, Brussels, 8:30 A.M. Arrival at 11 DAs AM. Now we enter the
first and last names, how to enter the
names of a couple, knowing they have
the same last name. There are several
methods, of course. We can enter them one by one or we can enter
both people directly. In this case, since they have the same last name, we
can do it like this. M two, means that we will enter two people
directly in this line. For example, we enter
Mr. Fabian jean, Mr. And right after
you add a slash, followed only by the
lady's first name. Because we don't need to enter the last name since
we said L M two, Simplies that everything we put here will have
the same last name. It will be Daniel Madame
and there you go. The PNR is being created. Look, Fabian Jean and Fabian
Danielle, two passengers. They have booked on segment
three and segment four, Brussels, London,
London, Brussels. Next, we need to enter
a contact element. We were told that
Jean's phone was AP contact element APM. We enter APM, phone
012-345-6789 I put a slash passenger one to
indicate that this phone belongs to Mr. Fabian Jean we validate. There you go. Next, we are
told you also want to enter, misses Daniel asks us
to enter her email. We will see later how to send her reservation or her
e ticket by email. So it will be just a email. Daniel, because I have mail.com.com and we validate,
what do we have left to do? The agent's signature, that is, the agent who makes the booking. I sign RF with the signature
that Amadeus gave me. RF is my signature, and there you go, the
signature goes up. This booking was made by
the agency Paris 180986. By the agent whose signature is REKE booking for Fabien
Jean Fabien Danielle. We have one thing left to do, which is to confirm the
booking right away. TK. Why? Because for now, the seats are not confirmed. TKK allows us to
change the status from HN from unconfirmed
status to HK status, which means confirmed and we
validate, what do we notice? We have here HK HK. These two seats are confirmed
on this flight from Brussels to London
and back on May 29. The bases are confirmed. What do we have left to do? We need to register to
obtain a file number and here is the
file number 85264, it appears here and here. Once we have the file number,
the booking is complete. What do we do next? We
can close the file. Now, if two days
later this couple comes to us to try to
finalize the booking, that is to proceed with
pricing, ticket issuance, and printing a label
because until now, we are just at the
preservation status. We will need to
retrieve their file. How do you retrieve your file? The command T. T means retrieve. If you know the file number, you just need to type the
file number directly. For example, 852. Retrieve file 85264.
There you go. Here we will, of course, as we will see in the next lessons, proceed with pricing, ticket issuance, and label printing. There is another
method to use as well. Suppose they come
back two days later, but they do not have the file
number in their possession. It is entirely possible to
find the file number by name. In this case, we put t. Slash means that we will provide the
name, not the number. At without slash, we enter
the number with slash, we enter the names
of the people. It's the Fabian family, Fabian, and there you
go, the file appears. We can also find it by
first and last name. It's very simple Art which means we will search
by name Fabian Jean. And of course, we
will find his file. When you do RT number, it means you are
searching by file number. When you do RT, name Fabian, it means we will search
for a file, only by name. If we want by first
and last name, we put RTbian the first
name, for example, Daniel, and we will have the file number to close the file and
process another client, we just have to do
IG and there you go. The booking has been made. RT I repeat Fabian and we have the file that will appear
here. There you go. I
9. - Other forms of searching for round trip flight availability in a single order: How to search for round trip flight availability
in a single command. Using the button or
the star symbol. As you can see
here, for example, when we search for
availability for both the outbound and return
flights in a single command, we need to type the command AN. We must initially provide
the outbound flight, like here on April 20, between Rome and London, returning on April 28, we will have a table
that directly displays the outbound flight for April 20 and the return for April 28. So here is what we will have. When you type an April 20, it requests flight
availability for April 20 between Rome and London with a
return on April 28. Here is how the
system will respond. It will display two tables. In the first table,
as you can see here, you have the departure
on April 20. We can clearly see here that the departure from Rome
is at terminal one. Arriving in London at
terminal one at 10:15 A.M. The second segment, departure
from Rome, terminal one, arrival in London, terminal
one at 8:30 A.M. And so on. So for the end of April, we
have five possibilities, five segments from 7:15 A.M. Departure at 2:15 P.M. And in the second table,
we have April 28. That's the return.
Note that here, for segment number 11, departure from London,
terminal one, arrival in Rome. Terminal two. So
this is the return. Therefore, we have
five departures and three possible returns. Know that departures always start with segment
one and returns. Very importantly, always start
with segment number 11 11, 12, 13, 14, et cetera. So we have Rome, London, Rome, London, Rome, London. Here we have London,
Rome, London, Rome, London, Rome. So we will assume. So as I said, we have
five departures, five possibilities
from 7:15 A.M. To 2:15 P.M. And three returns from
2:20 P.M. To 8:30 P.M. Now, how can we take the seats? So let's assume our client tells us he wants to
leave at 8:30 A.M. Between Rome and London. 830, so it's here. That means it's
segment number two. If we want to take
the cheapest class for him, it will be class. There are four seats left. So for our client, we
will take one seat, segment two in class Y. For the return, let's assume our client wants to
return at 30 PM. So we take the cheapest class. It's the last one class
C, segment number 13. So in summary, the
departure from Rome to London will be segment two in
class Y and for the return, it will be segment 13 in class C. How can
we take the seats? This is how you
should take the seat. We take a seat. In class, segment two, there
it is. We take it. This is the departure. This part is about taking a seat
for the departure. For the return, when we put
a star, we see this table, it's in class C, segment 13, there is segment 13, class C. You have directly
taken two segments, one outbound and one return. Now let's do an example
on the Amadeo system. So let's do the round
trip example in a single command on the
real Amadeus system. So what did we say? We are looking for availability
on April 20. Romco is the code for Rome,
Leonardo DaVinci airport. Make LHR return and
arrival in London, HLO Return on April 28, directly, we will have the availability for the
departure and return. Here's what it
shows. Five segments for the departure on two, three, four, five, three
segments for the return. The return segments, here
we have London Rome, and here we have Rome London. So we will take a seat. The client tells us,
I want to leave at 8:30, segment number two. If he doesn't tell us anything, we take the cheapest class. How many seats do
we want to take? It will be S, we take a seat for the departure,
it will be class, segment two, meaning
the flight at 8:30, and for the return, the client
requests a return at T 30. Star which means return. The class, we start
with class C, the cheapest C. Segment
13, there you go. The PNR starts to be
formed, we check. The departure on
AirfranceFlight 5691 in class on April 20, day two. That is to say Tuesday. Departure from
Rome, terminal one. Arriving in London,
terminal one, HN one, an unconfirmed
seat, Departure at 8:30. For a second segment, we
booked a second segment. We took a segment on AirfranceFlight 93 48 in class C as requested
on April 28, return date day two. It's a Tuesday as well
because it's a week later. London and Toluse towards
Rome, Leonardo DaVinci, terminal one, terminal one, unconfirmed seat,
departure at 20:30. We can continue here. We will
complete the PNR entirely. Here, I will just give, as we saw in the
previous lessons to whom we will
assign this seat. We will take, for
example, Mr. John Eric, the last name and first name, Mr. Here you go. John, these round trip
seats have been reserved for John Eric right after, we confirm the seats to
change from the status HN unconfirmed to the
status HK confirmed. There you go. We
have here it's HK. What do we have left to do
to complete the reservation? Contact element, for example, misters phone
number, John 055p1. This is passenger number
one. That is John Eric. Then the agents signature,
that is to say mine. I remind you again that the
signature is provided to you by the Amadeus company
with the password illusioned. My signature is R IKE. The signature goes at the top. Now, what do I have left? I register to get a file number. Once I have one of
your complete actions, I have here the
file number 17 328. It appears here and there,
eight, it appears here, and I have made the
reservation, it's done. Now I close the file
and I Eric comes later, if you asked me if he
brought his file number, then I can search for
it by file number. RTT file number,
it's the same day. So 173, 28, sorry, there you go. T 173. 28. Here is RT 17328. There you go. I have his
file. A second search method. There you go. I can do it by
name, it will be by name. I can do it here, Arjan. We will come across a special case. Look, means that we
take into account that currently John Eric has
made several reservations. He knows little that
he made a reservation. Charles De Gol Brussels
at another agency. He may have made several
reservations at other agencies. I need to find him. It shows me all the reservations
made by Jean Eriq. It could be the same person
or it could be namesakes. There, I have several choices. Need to search either by
the sequential number that is there or by the file
number that is there. I can do it by file number.
We've already done it. We type RT the file number, or if I type RT, for example, two, I will get this Jan Eriq, that reservation, we can see. It's another reservation, that is to say it was at Ole Rom. There is another
search method as well. I want to emphasize
that when we type RT, it is encryptic
mode, in text mode. But you can absolutely here
you have Visual search, you just have to type here
what you are looking for. If you are looking
for the file number, you just type the
file number directly, 173.28, we will re type it. Here, 173.238. The system will display
it directly here. You only write what
you are looking for. We will do another example,
IG in the same way. If I type, I am searching for the files or the
file of John Eric, I separate the last name from
the first name with a slash the and I get the John Eric
who have made reservations. The same principle. If I
want to display this one, the last one, so
it will be RT 89, the here 270 or here. Here I have just
another reservation at Charles De Gol for Madrid
and I can redo it right away by typing here 89
780 9728. There you go. Sorry, I wrote it
wrong 89 right now. Ebony. That means he
did not find the file. I chose a wrong number,
I will redo it here. I request John Eric and
there you go. I have here. 89270, I made a mistake. If I can do it here, 89270
the file will be displayed. There you go. Thank
you very much.
10. - How to make a round trip availability request based on the length of stay: Today we will see
another form of availability search, round trip. As we have already seen,
this is another method. Let's suppose we request
availability here, N, on April 20, Barcelona, Spain, Charles D
Gaul, Paris, France. You have requested the
departure availability here. When the table appears, let's suppose you
have chosen a seat. Segment number two in class, right after you want
to request the return. You can request it
using the ACR command. If right after that,
you enter ACR April 27, the system will automatically understand that you are requesting return
flight availability. That is, Charles DeGol
Barcelona on April 27. In this case, you just have to choose a segment like here, it's just an example,
a seat in class Y, segment three for the return. On the other hand,
if after entering the availability requests,
you have chosen a segment. Instead of entering ACR a date, you enter ACR a certain number, for example, here, seven. The system understands that you are requesting
return availability. Charles De Gaul, Barcelona, seven days after the
20th, so the 27th. If you want, for
example, ten days after the 20th,
that is the 30th, you just have to type ACR ten
and once the table appears, you just have to request like
here, the seat assignment. You reserve a seat in
class Y, segment three. This is just an example. We are now doing an example
on the Amadea system. We we'll do the example. So we have the returns, we'll take the availability. We have the, as we said, Barcelona, Charles De Gaul, on April 20, two
availability modes AN, April 20, Charles
D Gaul, Barcelona. We have exactly five segments. The first option, Air
France flight at Pin 15. Air France 8:30 A.M.
Air France 2:15 P.M. Volly and Iberia at 2:15
P.M. 15 Voling and 95. All right. Let's assume
the client wants to leave at 10:15 A.M. In class Y. We will type, as
we already said, SS one seat, Y. Segment number
one. There you go. The PNR starts to be formed
Air France Flight 2289, exactly, class Y on April
20, day number six. It's a Saturday, Charles
De Gul terminal one, Barcelona terminal one, HNI, confirmed passage,
departure at 7:15 A.M. Now we will take the
return with the new order ACR. If he asked me for a
return on April 27, type ACR, April 27 directly. Notice here, we have
Charles Gol, Barcelona. When I type this, we will have
Barcelona, Charles D Gaul, Barcelona, Charles De Gaul, Barcelona, Charles De
Gal, and April 27. Here we have the return directly compared to the previous year. So I will take a seat
now for the return. So says one seat. For example, he wants
to return at 20:00 P.M. I take class Q, the
cheapest class. Segment three, and there you go. I took two seats. First flight, Charles D Gold
Barcelona, 7:15 A.M. The return is on April 27, Barcelona to Charles De gal
at 9:20 P.M. Then we finish, we continue the PNR. For example, I will
put here n 11, John Eric, Mr., there you go. I confirm the ticket TK. I provide a contact element, APM the client's
phone, for example, 07777 phone of
passenger number one, P, which means passenger, it's Mr. M's phone. John Eric, validate I
sign with my signature, which was provided to me
by Amadeus and I save, I finally have a file number. The number is 3275, which appears here and here. The basic reservation
has been made. Now, we will take
the same example, but using ACR with
the length of stay, we take the outbound
segment, AN, for example, January 10, Barcelona
to Charles De Gal, and we check the
availability of the line. Let's assume the client asks me he wants to leave at 10:45. Flight M is four, class
M is four, class M four. S four, I take class
V. Says, one seat, class V, 1045, so it's
segment number two, we can see that it's
indeed January 10. AF 1013, AF 1013, class V, January 10, day one, so it's a Monday. Departure, Barcelona,
terminal one, arrival, Charles De Gal, terminal one, HN one, hobby confirmed,
departure at 10:45. Now, the client tells me that he wants to stay for seven days. What are the
availabilities after seven days based on
the outbound flight? The outbound flight
was on January 10. I enter ACR seven, so when I have ACR seven, I notice here that
I have January 17, but the return is Charles
De Gaul to Barcelona. Charles De Gol to Barcelona, whereas before we had
Barcelona to Charles De Gol. Now for the return, he wants to come
back at 9:20 P.M. So if he doesn't
tell me anything, I will take the cheapest class. SS one, class Q,
segment number three. What do we notice? Departure
January 10, Barcelona, Charles De Gal turn, January 17, day four,
Charles DGul Barcelona. I continue after the PNR, for example, John, Eric, Mr., I confirm the seat
Tkok to confirm the seat. She goes to HK one, so
the pass is confirmed. Provide a contact element with
the client's phone number, for example, for John
Eric, passenger one, I sign with my signature, and I register and he sees that I have a
complete transaction, I have a file number here, which appeared there and there. That means the reservation
has been made. I remind you that
the file number is not necessarily numeric. It can be an alpha
numeric character like A, B, 30, X, et cetera. The main thing is that the
reservation has been made.
11. - How to make reservations for babies, children, young people or seniors: A course on passenger typology, that is to say how to
book for an infant, a child, a youth, or a senior, such as be aware that
the types of passengers, the customer type characters are coded with three letters. By default, ADT,
which means adult refers to someone
aged 18-62 years. You have the code INF, which is for how to
book for an infant. You have the code CHD, which is for booking
for a child. You also have the code
YTH which is for a youth, and you have the code
YCD for a senior, meaning aged 60 or 70 and above, depending
on the country, all of this is to be
taken into account in the pricing because depending
on the passenger type, a passenger may benefit from
a discount on the fare. So how to make the reservation. So know that when
you do not specify anything at the PNR level,
for example, like here, when we put NM one,
reservation for one person, M, Alangan is
considered an adult. So the code is ADT there's
no need to specify it, but it will appear
later in the pricing, a course we will
do, let's say soon. Now, the specific
case of a baby, a baby means someone who
is under 2-years-old. A baby does not occupy a seat. They share a seat with an adult. So when you have a mother with
a child under 2-years-old, a baby place them together
in a single seat. In this case, like the example
here, when we put NN one, Al and Jean Mr.
INF the baby code, it means there is
a baby with him, and here we put the
baby's first name. Both occupy the same seat. For other cases, when we
want to introduce a child. So a child for Amadeus
means that they are aged 2-12 years. In this case, to indicate
this to Amadeus, to the Amadeus system and to the airline, we
put, for example, NM Eric SAM CHD, which means a child, he is under 12-years-old. He may potentially benefit from a discount on the
fare for a youth, what can I tell you
about youth for Amadeus? It means that they are aged
12-18 years. The code is Y. To indicate this
to the airline RNs and Amadeus during the booking, you just need to type
N 11 Lux Arthur Y T. The system will
understand that they are aged 12-18 years. Now, for a senior, it will depend on the
regulations of each country. Generally, it is 60
years and older, the code YCD to indicate to the system that misses
Farin Nadin is a senior. In this case, we precede the name and
surname with the code YCD. Now we will do an example
of a booking on the system. We will book for a family. We have Luke Jean,
who is an adult. We have Luke Sam a baby, so he must be with
his father and Luke Nadine is a
youth of 17 years. Their travel plan is Marsi, New York on April 12, return on April 20, and here we have a
contact element for G. Let the example now. We will look for
availability between Marseille and New
York on April 12, A and April 12. Misses New York, we
took JFK airport. If we do not know the airports, we just to use ten New York, and we will get John
Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport, which is its code, JFK. We are looking for
this availability. We have five options,
715, 830, 14 15. Air France, Bolivi
Greg, and Iberia. So how many people do we have? We had Luke Jean, an adult
accompanied by his son, Luke Sam, who is 1-year-old, Nadine, 17-years-old,
and Martin 62-years-old. So there are four people,
but Sam is 1-year-old. He does not occupy a seat. He will be seated
with his father, so we will choose.
We need three seats. So let's assume that the Duke family decides
to leave at 7:15. We will take three seats, so it would be interesting
to place them together in the same class to avoid the
problems of separating them. So Y, which has only two
seats is not enough. Class M is full,
N has two seats. E is full. The cheapest
class is class Q, which has seven seats available. So what are we going to do? We will take SS
three, three people. Class Q on flight seven R 15, that is segment number
one, and there you go. We took three seats, okay,
for the outbound flight, the outbound flight,
Marsil Dijon, Fitzgerald, Kennedy, New York. Now, we need to take
the return flight. We can use several methods. We will use the ACR method. I am requesting a return
based on this table, okay? But for April 20, on April 20. So we can see here
that we have April 20, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, Marcell, JFK Marcell, that's the return. Let's assume they choose
the flight at 9:20 P.M. Since there are
three people, that's segment number three, we
will put them together. Q, there are two seats. Class Q is the cheapest. That's not enough. We
will put them together. So class, there are nine seats
left, nine seats and more. SS three people, class on segment number three,
and there you go. We have indeed taken
the segments April 12, Mars JFK and April 20, JFK Mars. HN three seats, three seats. Well now start entering
them one by one. Baby Sam, we will enter
him with his father. So what do we do?
Mm Luke Jean Mr.? And we will say he
is accompanied by his baby under 2-years-old. So we will enter the INS code. We will put the
baby's first name. In this case, his name
is Sam. There you go. So as you can see, what
have you noticed here. This often happens when you have the NHP message
appearing on the screen. It's just an alert from
Amadeus. It's not an error. It's an alert that tells
you to be careful. You have taken three seats, but for now, you have
only put one person. It's an inconsistency. It seems to you that they
are telling you to go ahead, continue entering people
until the number of people matches the number of
people who have booked here. H, and three. So here we have only one person, so
we continue now. We said we have Nadine.
Nadine is 17-years-old, so her age is 12-18 years. But the code is wife.
So are we going to do N 11 Luke, Nadine, Madame, and we will put the associated code
to indicate that she is a youth 12-18-years-old. So it's wife. And
we validate still the inconsistency
because we have one spot left to enter.
What did we say? We have Martin left,
who is 62-years-old. For the system to consider after pricing, we will enter Nadine. N one, Luke Martin rather, Martin, Madam, we specify
here that she is a senior. The code is Y, C, and you will see
that now we have three spots here and we
have entered three people, so the system will
restore itself. It was just an alert for
you to be compliant. Now we continue, we will enter, we will confirm the spots. Okay. These spots, H and three, they change to status
HK. There you go. Perfect. A. Now we enter at
least one contact element. For example, we said that Luke's phone was 069, et cetera. So what am I going to do? AP, mobile contact,
069-876-5231. Whose phone is this? So
where is Luke located? Look Gene is located at the
level of the third passenger. So this phone is the phone
of passenger number three. What do we do now? All
that's left is to sign, and, of course, I save
to obtain a file number. Once the system responds with end of complete transaction and gives me a file
number next to it, it means everything is perfect
now for the reservation. There you go. So I
can cancel here. And if I want to find the file, I just have to do Rt
Look for example, the Luke family, and it
will display directly. I remind you that we can
directly enter Luke here, the Luke family, and we will have the file directly.
There you go.
12. - How to modify the elements of the reservation: Lesson, we're going to see if there's an error to modify
the elements of the PNR, that is to say when
we create a PNR, we might make a mistake when
writing the first name or the last name or a contact element when we make a mistake in
writing a phone number. We're going to see how to
correct the elements of the PNR let's take this example. How do you change
the first name? Because you'll see there's
a difference when you want to change a
passenger's name or change their last name. Let's take this PNR,
this reservation, we have here, Luke Martin, Luke Nadine, Luke Jean. Let's say we made a mistake in line two for
passenger number two. The line is very important. Instead of writing Nadia, we wrote Nadine and
we saved the PNR, and it's completely possible. At the reservation stage only, we'll see later that if you
do pricing and issue tickets, it won't be possible to change either the name or the
first name anymore. But at the reservation stage, we can definitely change the first name or correct
it in case of an error. Here we want to change
Nadine to Nadia. The first thing to check
is what's the line number? The passenger number for
Nadine, it's line two. To replace the first name Nadine for passenger
two with Nadia, we just need to type the
passenger number two like this slash and when we put
nothing next to the slash, the system will understand that we just want to change
the first name. We'll see, of course, in a
more concrete example later. Now, let's say we want
to change the last name. The last name is a bit special, at the reservation stage, we can change a
passenger's name. But the thing about
the last name is that if you want
to change the name, for example, here, look Adia, it's not Luke, it's Lucene. You can't just change
the last name. We have to change both the
last name and the first name. Even if as we say here, we can replace the first name, even if it means adding
the same first name. What we mean here is that the last name doesn't
change by itself. The first name, yes,
here as an example. Passenger number two, it's
not Luke, it's Lucene. How do we correct the
name Luke to Lucene? We take the passenger
number and slash one. When we add the one, the system understands that the number one indicates a change of both the last name and
the first name together. When there's nothing here, it means we want to change
only the first name. To passenger number
two, there it is one. We write the new first name
or the mistake we made. Sign, and we add the first name, even if it's the
same first name. Now, if we want to correct a contact detail
like a phone number, for example, like here, for example, we put the mobile phone for
passenger number three, for Luke Jean, here's his phone. Let's say we got the number
wrong or we just want to change it at the client's request to change
a phone number. Line eight, here we can clearly
see that it's line eight. I remind you that Amadeus
works a lot with line numbers. We want to change line
eight to another number. We do this in two steps. So the first step is to
delete line eight with X. Now we're going to see
that starting today. X when you put a number
here, deletes a line. If I put X eight, line
eight will disappear. If I put X seven, line seven will disappear. If I put X six, line six will disappear. So we delete line eight, it will disappear
and we'll insert a new number with APM and
the new number P three. Of course, you always have to sign and save after
making changes, as we'll see in the example now. Here's the example. We have
a PNR here. There you go. The people on two segments, April 12 Marcell JFK. April 20, JFK Marcell. Let's say we made a mistake
with Nadine's first name. Instead of writing Nadia, we wrote Nadine. What do we do? We take the passenger number 22 slash and we put the
new first name Nadia. Of course, we add Madam, as is the usual and
expected practice and traditionally speaking and
considering her youth, since she's young, we add the youth code wife as
per usual practice. And we validate What
do we notice here? That in the PNR ocean, it was Lukenadin, it becomes
Lukenaden Madame Witch. Right after that,
I want to let you know that you absolutely
need to sign and save. There we have Lukenaden now, let's say we have a problem
with the last name instead. When we get the name
wrong, we need to change. Put the last name
and the first name, even if it means using
the same first name. Let's say Luke isn't
Luke, it's Lucene. Passenger, what's their
passenger number? It's passenger number two, so two to let the system
know that we want to change, last name and the first
name, we add clause one. What do we put here, we
put the new first name. The new name, sorry, Lucene Nadia Madame
and the youth code. So what do we notice here? It was Luke Nadia
and now we have Lucene, Nadia, Madame Young. What do we do next?
We sign and we save. Third case, let's say we
got the phone number wrong. We make a mistake with a number or we wrote the
phone number wrong. So what are we going
to do in two steps? The first step, what's
the phone line? It's line eight. X eight, we remove line eight,
she disappeared. And what do we do right away? We add the phone
APM, the new phone. So APM, 072 3977, such as, for example, a phone number, 54
belongs to Luke Gene. It's inserted when I finish, I sign, and I save. Just to let you know, there are several methods to
change a E phone number. I chose this method because
I find it pretty easy to do, so you should use the methods
that seem simplest to you. Just know that after
each modification, you absolutely have
to sign with RF with our signature code
and save with ER. Go.
13. - How to cancel a single reservation: How to easily cancel
a simple reservation. There are two methods or ways
to cancel a reservation. Either by deleting the
segments with the XI command, the segment number that
appears in the PMR, we will now see in the
example, of course, by typing the XI command, the Xi command removes all specific segments
from the PNR. Know that the file does not disappear from the
Amadeus database. File, that is the
name, first name, and contact information
remains in the Amadeus file, and generally, it takes three or four days for it to be removed directly
from the system. Let's use now. Suppose we
have this reservation. We found the reservation.
Can see here that Patrick Gerard has two segments. One segment has
an itinerary with Air France on May 23 in class A, Lisbon, Charles De Gal, Lisbon, and he has
a return Lisbon, Charles De Gol in
class Y on May 30, this is a simple reservation. Know that, as we will see later, when there is pricing
and issuance, canceling a reservation will
be completely different. Here, we are at
the booking stage. There has been no pricing
and no ticket issuance. To cancel the reservation, we must delete segments, number two and number three, we delete the itineraries. The accounting file remains
in the Amadeus system. In this case, either
you use the XE command, which is to cancel the lines one by one and know
that in any case, XE is used to delete a line. Here to delete the
first segment, to cancel the first segment, we must use Command
X number two. If we want to delete
the third segment, it will be X three. If we want to delete two
segments entirely at once, we can use the command
X two quam three. Once you have done that, you
sign with your signature and save the second method, as here, involves when you
type the command, when you display the file
and type the command X, all segments will be
deleted automatically. Sign and save. We will do the example now on
the Amadeus system. We'll take our
reservation again. We are here in the
Amadeus system. We have Patrick Girard
who has two segments, Charles De Gol to
Lisbon on May 23, and Lisbon to Charles
De Gol on May 30. This is a reservation.
We want to cancel. Let's suppose our client asks us to cancel just
the outbound flight. He wants to release
the outbound flight. He wants to cancel
the outbound flight. So we need to delete line two, which means typing Xe two. Do we notice that segment
two has been released to the airline so that it can
give the seat to someone else? Once we finish, we
sign and we save. Here, Patrick Girard has only kept the return on May 30 from
Lisbon to Charles De Gal. But let's suppose he also
asks us to cancel everything. In this case, what do we do? What is the Lisbon to
Charles De Gol line? It is still line two because there is a recovery
phase that occurs. We need to be very careful. We type X, which segment do we need to
cancel segment two. That means Patrick
Girard wanted to cancel the entire reservation.
There you go. The name and surname remain the KO remains and the
APM, the phone remains. The file stays in the
Amadeus database. They are the ones who then
take care of deleting from the database three or
four days or a week later. Once finished, we sign and
record, and that's it. Now we move on to another file. Show the example with XI, I will bring in another file. So Artie, I have a file that
I have already prepared. Here, I will pull it out. Now, we return to
Patrick Gerard. Well, it's another
file, of course. If Mr. Patrick Gerard asks me to cancel the entire
reservation directly, he doesn't want to keep either the outbound or the return. So either we work with
XE or we do XE 2.3. So here we will
cancel everything directly, or pardon 2.3, we will cancel everything or the XI command allows
canceling all segments, so cancel the reservation. We type XI. Do you want to
cancel this reservation? Yes. What do we notice? That the segments,
the itineraries, have been released
to the company ARN. The system responds with, Okay, document canceled.
What do we do? We sign afterwards,
there you go. And we record. There you go. To move on now, to close the
file and do something else, we just have to type IG. IG closes the file so we can process another
file. There you go.
14. How to submit a request for special service: Today's course is about
special service requests. That is, if a
passenger or a client requests a special
service, for example, if they want to be accompanied
by an animal in the hold or they want an animal in
the hold, or, for example, if they request
medical assistance, such as a wheelchair
or if they request a certain special service or if they request
fragile baggage. I will now pass on to you in the continuation
of the course, the main special
service requests. I will need to be indicated in Amadeus to see if this
request is accepted or not, as it will be included
in the pricing. This request may not be accepted because the aircraft
operating this segment, which is on this itinerary does not have the
necessary equipment, for example, to
accommodate animals. Or it may be that this
airline does not provide medical assistance or that it does not offer a
certain special service, such as a vegetarian
meal or others. How to make this special
service request? That is the subject
of this course. So how to make the
special service request. It is a set of codes that
I will submit to you now. To make the special
service request, you need to type
the code SR there. The special service code, there will be certain
code for each request. Here, you enter free text to
indicate what it is about. For example, for an
animal in the hold, you can write here a dog with its weight or a cat
with its weight, et cetera enter the passenger
number from the PNR, P one, P two, P three, the position of the
passenger in the PNR. For example, the code
SPML pertains to the special service request
for a vegetarian meal. So we can write SR, a request, special request SPML. Vegetarian meal for
passenger number two. Thus, the system will
respond to you with a SSR request, SPML
vegetarian meal. You will have two codes. N N means that it is
pending confirmation. If you have KK, it means that it is a service
that has been accepted. Now, it may be that this
service is chargeable. If it is chargeable,
you will need to create what is called an EMD. This will be the subject of a future course that is planned. Here are now. The main special service codes,
you have the code here. For example, A VIH is for
an animal in the hold. Bulk is for very heavy
luggage and so on. Here you have, for example, UCHR which is the request
for a wheelchair. SPML is for a special meal. Let's take the example of
an animal in the hold. We can make the request with SR, the special service code
for food in the hold, taken from six, a 20 kilo dog
for passenger number one, and we wait for the
system's response. Of course, if it is chargeable,
you will need to read, I ask you to read a
course called EMD, how to charge for
a special service. Let's just do the
example now on Amadeus. We will is that we
will do together. We'll do it now. So
miss Bertrand Giselle, 62-years-old, needs a wheelchair but can board and
disembark from the plane. She is accompanied by
Mr. Bertrand Hannah, who wants to take his 20
kilogram cat with him. The travel plan is as follows, Paris or to Casablanca
on August 10. We have Mr. Hannah's phone here. We will make the reservation, and I think for this couple, let's just make the
reservation for this couple. So we said, we will look for availability at Orly on
August 12, Ole Ai Casablanca. If you don't know
the airport code for Casablanca, it's very easy. In a previous lesson, we
can use DAN Casablanca, determine the airport
name Casablanca, and we will have,
there you go, ACAS. The code for Casablanca is CAs for the airport
in Casablanca. We are searching for
its availability on August 12 OL Casablanca, right? Let's assume they want to
leave with Air France. We have three segments. Let's suppose they tell
us they want to leave at 8:30 or at 7:45
P.M. There you go. If they don't tell us anything, we take the cheapest class. The cheapest class is class Y. There are two classes
left, so it's fine. We can put them in this class. Says two, as we said, class Y, segment number three. There you go. There
are two people. Hn two, we will put
the names now, NN one, we will put misses
Bertrand Giselle Madame is 62-years-old, so
she is a senior. I remind you that the
senior code is YCD. When you have NHP, it's just an inconsistency indicating that the system expects
you to have here. You have one passenger
for two seats, so it alerts you that
you are missing a seat. We will introduce Mr. Bertrand. We say nothing about Alan, which means he is an adult, aged 18-60 years,
and there you go. We will just simply
confirm the seats. We put Mr. Alan's phone
number, 341-21-2123, for example, Alan is
passenger one, P one. We need to request
special services. Misses Giselle, the second passenger, requests
a wheelchair. The wheelchair code, knowing that she can board
and disembark from the plane we have
already seen is CHR. Special request, CHR code, and we can add a free text here. Such as wheelchair. I can say, for example,
personal wheelchair. That means we are just
requesting assistance. For whom are we requesting this? For Giselle for
passenger number two, and see the response
the system gives her. SSR, use AHR, wheelchair, personal P two NN, NN means that it is pending. If it were K and K, that
means it is confirmed. You can, for example,
request a display of the PNR again in the
evening and in principle, if the airline for
that flight Air France with an aircraft of type 330 provides assistance
that could allow, let's say, to accompany the lady with her
wheelchair to the plane. Alan wants to be accompanied
by his ten kilo cat, it will be ASR A VIH, which means animal in the hold. We can put the ten
kilo cat there. Okay. Who are we
requesting this for? For Mr. Bertran A P one. There you go. With
each ten kilos, P one, still pending, it will generally go through. If the airline has those means when you redisplay the Panner, it will change to
K K and K and K. Then we just have
to so we record, and we sign and we register. Now, we need to price it. How much will this
transport cost for the couple Bertrand Allen
and Bertrand Giselle, with of course, the request
for special services. So we type FXP there we go.
What are we being told here? Bertran Alan adult, tax free, EPE fur 25 euros,
taxes, 125 euros. Mr. Tran Allen, the trip
will cost him 551 euros. However, for Giselle,
it costs her 275 euros. Since she is a
senior, she benefits, of course, from a certain
discount for this flight. The total amount is the
sum of the two people. Which means that in total,
the two tickets will cost 826 euros to validate, to transmit to the TST, as we saw in the
previous lesson, that there has been pricing that these people
will pay this amount, we just need to sign
with our signature. What do we notice here? You
have at the top the TST, which means we have sent
the fare for the person for Betron Allan and
BetronGisel, we sign again, of course, and we record, I would like to point
out that in this course, you have all the most
commonly used special codes in PDF format. There you go. And
15. - How to introduce messages to address to the passenger or the cabin crew: A brief course on remarks or messages meant
for passengers. As you will see, there are
several types of messages. There are messages
that are meant only for passengers to raise their awareness about
certain information that will appear on the E
ticket when you print it. To do this, the command, usually in the PNR, at any time, you can
put and the message. For example, you
can put this RM, not carry liquids or to
raise their awareness. For example, if we
want them to check in 3 hours before departure
for one reason or another, RLM, you check in 3
hours before departure. This remark will appear
on the E ticket. It's mainly to raise
the customers, the passengers awareness
about certain information, or, for example, for
a simple booking, if they just book
and need to pay. At least two days after the reservation, you
can add a remark. When you print the reservation, note that you need to go to the agency to pay for your
ticket before such and such. This information will appear. When you print the
reservation or the ticket. There's another type of message, but this one is meant solely, I mean, only for the airport, whether it's for the check
in desk, the boarding gate, and especially for
the flight crew only, meaning the ground
hostesses and stewards. For example, this is
sensitive information. It won't appear on the E ticket. It will be sent to Amadeus
and forwarded to the check in desk to the boarding
system in order to raise the crews awareness.
About certain things. For example, here, it
will be an OS message. When you put, for example, OS customer seems
to have issues, it will be sent to
the check in desk, boarding, and the flight crew. This message won't
appear on the ticket. There you go. Thank
you. For the remarks, there are remarks that are
necessary for the customers, remarks that will
appear on the ticket. For example, please arrive at the airport 3 hours early
or a note for the elderly, like, don't forget
your documents, don't forget your passports. These are remarks
that are meant for the passengers,
for the customers. But there are remarks
that can appear on the PNR but that the
customer will never see. These are messages that are visible only to the
agencies or that are mainly sent to the check in desk to the boarding system, and possibly to the pilots. These are details we
want to send just to the check in desk but that
the customer can't see. There are two types of remarks. We have a PNR, such
as, for example, on the date of December 12 at the airport Charles De Gal in Paris to Madrid with the airline which is
operated by Iberia. Let's take, for example, a seat at 7:15 in class F
segment number one. We write down the
passenger's name, for instance, let's
take Mr. Alan. Renard as an illustration. Sir, we validate TKOK. It's done. It's done. We enter the passengers number as we have already
thoroughly explained. P one, and then we
proceed to sign with the agent signature that
Amadeus has provided to me. We register and we
have a file number. The file number can
be alpha numeric, such as letters and numbers. Then we price it, FXP
the fare, there you go. It's 749 euros to validate and send the TST,
as we already mentioned. We sign, there you go. When we have the TST here, it means it has been
sent to the airline. We enter the payment method. There you go, and we
issue the ticket. We can also enter the passenger document if it's required. So SRDcs HK HK, we put the airline
first, of course, it's Iberia, HK, type
of document passport. Here, we're going to enter
the type of passport, which country issued
the passport. For example, here,
we'll put France. Then we enter the
passport number and we include the
passport number, along with the country that issued the passengers
nationality. Next, we enter the
passenger's date of birth, November 11, for example, 1960. Next, we enter the gender, it's a man, so we'll
put M for male. Here we enter the passport
expiration date, for example, September 22, 2027, and finally we enter
the passenger's name. Renaud, and here we match it with the passenger's
position in the PMR P one. Next, we issue the ticket, and there we have a line
FA because it's there, which means the ticket
has been issued. All we save it and we record it. Here, to add a
note, for example, we tell this gentleman
who seems a bit older RM, this information will appear on the ticket when you
print it with ITA. For example, please arrive
3 hours before departure. It's just before departure,
before departure. There you go. H. So when we save it, this information
when you request the ITR print will
appear on the ticket to inform the customer
that they need to be at the airport 3 hours
before departure. There is another very
important remark, but it will appear in the post. It's information
that you want to pass directly to the check in desk at the airport
the boarding system. Let's say, for example, you have a gentleman who comes in,
buys a ticket from you, but you feel, for instance, let's take a simple case that he has some
psychological issues. All right, he's not mean, he's not this, but
you have a doubt. So for that, you need to
pass the information to the boarding system so they can keep an eye on him
even on the plane. If the pilot agrees, of course, the pilot can refuse to let this gentleman
board in that case. It's a message, let's
say, for example, that you slip directly
to the check in desk or perhaps to the boarding
system or to the flight crew, the stewards and
flight attendants. In other words, the people
who help you on the plane. In that case, you put OS, which stands for
operating system, OS, for example, so
it's a secret message. Like a hidden code that only certain people can understand. The client seems to have
psychological issues, which could include
anxiety, depression, or other mental
health challenges that affect their
behavior and thinking. The client will never be able to see this information
because it will be hidden in the PNR anyway and it won't appear
on the ticket. It's just to make the airport, the checking, the boarding, and the people who
handle air navigation, the flight attendants and
stewards aware, there you go. Here, we see it here, right? But the client will never
see this information. You just need to
sign and save it. So to summarize an RMC note, something we do for the client to make them aware of something, OS is a note that you send, which will be hidden
that will be sent, let's say, to the airport, to the check in desk and boarding and to the
people who handle it. Like the pilots and
flight attendants, the stewards, there you go.
16. - The SPLIT or how to separate a multi passenger reservation into a reservation for each passenger: The separation of folders. Sometimes you may have
a booking reservation that contains several passengers who have the same travel plan, such as family members. It may happen that among them, there is one
passenger who wants, for example, to cancel or change the date or refund their ticket. The fact that all these
passengers are on the same file means we
will have to separate the folders so that the
passenger who wants to make a certain request
that will not be applied to the others has
their own file number. Ultimately, the split is about separating the file so that
we can act on one passenger, refund, date change,
cancellation, without impacting the others. We will now do the
example and at the end, you will have a display of the different steps to proceed with the
separation of folders. Split, that is to say the
separation of folders. Here we have, for example, a reservation for a couple, Al Pacino and Al Cristina. They have a segment
A, airline AH. On December 20,
Charles De Gul Madrid. The return on January 12, here it is on flight
AH 5451 on January 12, Madrid minal one, Charles
De Gul terminal one. The seats are confirmed because
they are in an HK status. HK means that the
seats are confirmed, the status has been set. It is a complete reservation. The file number is 11 o86, both people are associated
with the same file number. Therefore, everything we do on this file will concern
Al Pacino and his wife, we assume, Christina. All right. Let's assume they
made a reservation, they came back and to tell me that Christina wants to
cancel the reservation. In this case, if we cancel the entire
reservation of that file, it will also cancel Al
Pacinos we can do that, but there are many
people who say to cancel everything and
create a new file, a new PNR for Al Pacino. But it is likely that at the very moment you
cancel all of that, the seats that were
originally assigned to Al Pacino disappear
at the same time. Another agency is
making a reservation at the same time. So
what are we going to do? We will try to
separate the files, meaning Al Pacino will have
a certain file number, and Al Christina will
have another file number. This way, we can handle
the files differently. Cancellation, refund,
revalidation for one, not for the other. We
call that the split. Here it is. I have the
file number 11.0 86. Let's suppose Al Pacino shows up and tells me that Al Christina no longer wants to
come with me due to a scheduling conflict.
What are we going to do? We will try to
separate the files into two different files, meaning one number for Pacino and another number
for Christina, and we will only cancel
Christina's seat. That way, there is no risk. Al Pacino will always
keep his seat. The first question we ask is we search for the
file. Here it is. We ask ourselves, who is going
to cancel the reservation? He told me it's Christina,
to separate the folders, we put ASP, which means
split, there you go. And since it's Christina, we will separate
Christina's file from Al Pacino's meaning she will
have another file number. So what is Christina's
line number? It's two, we put Sp two for the separation of file
number two and we validate. What do we notice? It
tells me A under this PNR. All the file number
is still unknown. Still unknown. Look, we
only have Al Christina. We have separated Christina's
file from Al Pacinos, but he still doesn't
have a file number. So what do we need to do right away, we are going to sign. I sign with my own signature
that Amadeus gave me. When I sign, look at what happens. He tells
me to be careful. It's a file that was already associated with another
file. All right. He tells me that from now on, Christina will have
her file number, which is 16586, he tells me noticing that when we
see this, it's a file. So when we see this,
it has been separated. 16 86, what do we do next? We type EF. What do we do next? We type EF. We type EF.
What do we do next? What do we do next? We type EF. After EF, what happens? Return to the initial
file to 11.0 86. Notice that there is only Al
Pacino with a single seat, whereas before there
were two seats. Look below, hashtag. He tells us, here is
Al Pacino's file. It's 11 86 and we have
separated it from another file. This is the separation file, which is Christina's
file 16.5 86. Okay. We call this
the parent file, and this is the child file. After EF, be careful. You need to sign and
record immediately. So here we notice that Al
Pacino is all alone, of course, with Charles Madrid, Madrid, Charles De Gol, HK
one is on site. Here, look what it tells us. A Doc 13 completes 11.86. Below, you have the display. It tells you there is a file
separation with sit 16.5 86. Lo, if I search for 16.5
86, I will find it. Look at Christina's file. What did we want
to do? We wanted to cancel Christina's seats. What can we do either X or X? I can already to cancel a file. That means canceling
the segments, canceling a reservation
is a segment. It does not mean canceling
the entire file. I will cancel segment two. Here it is. I have
only one segment left. I cancel segment two, I sign. There you go and I
save it, it's done. Christina no longer
has a segment. We only canceled
Christina's reservation. I remind you that canceling a reservation does not mean
canceling the entire file. The file remains in the system. If I want to review Mr. Al
Pacino's file, then RT, the file number starts
with 86 and there you go. You notice that Al Pacino
has always kept his seats. On the other hand, Christina, if I find her file, 16586. That she no longer has
a seat. There you go. We treated Christina
differently than Al Pacino, especially when you
have an entire family who have booked, who have paid, and one of them wants a refund, for example, or wants
to change the dates. We cannot do it
on a single file. We separate the person's
file and treat them differently to keep the
others. There you go. Here we have Christina, who
no longer has any segments, so one from the nose and I
return to mister's file. Al Pacino 11.0 86, we can see that he still has his file and below
always some information. That, be careful on November
10, it's the day of the day. There was a separation by the
ID office by this agency. Al Pacino's file
has been separated by a sub file 16.5 86. There you go. I sign
once again and I save. He wants to cancel, so we
separate him from the others. This means we assign
him a new file number.
17. - How to price a reservation, the essential prices: Explain more clearly
what the TST, the transitional
stock ticket means. Know that the principle
is as follows. After creating a PNR, when you request a fare
with XX, here it is. FXX means that you just want to know the fare that you are transmitting to your client. Whatever you do afterwards, the fare will not
be transmitted to either Amadeus or the airline. You have given a fare to the
client, nothing will happen. If you close the file afterwards,
you have not priced it. On the other hand,
what we generally use in 100% of cases
after creating a PNR is to enter the pricing to obtain the fare of the PNR
based on the passenger types. That is adults, youth, seniors, and based on the airline and based on the
reserved segments, round trips or
multiple segments. If you validate
with the signature, as we will see in the example, we say this is with TST with
transitional stocked ticket, meaning that you
will transmit to the airline and to Amadeus, that you will price it, meaning that you
will collect money. Next, we generally
assume that we work with FXPP which
stands for price. But let's suppose the client finds that the price
is a bit too high. He may ask you if there is a possibility of
getting a better fare, when you enter FXB after FXP, you get the best possible fare, of course, based
on availability. There may be an
automatic class change if the client requests
the best possible fare. Here, we say that
you have priced it. With FXB, we will price it. With FXB, we price it, meaning we send to the airline
that pricing has occurred. You need to collect, let's
say, the price of the trip. Next, we have another option, which is FX FXL is mainly. For advisory purposes to obtain the lowest price offered by the airline for the
PNR you have created, but it is only for
consultative purposes. It may be the lowest price, but it may not be available
as it has already been taken. So it is without TST, thus
without transmission. FHP and FHB are
with transmission. VXX is a price inquiry. FXL is also just to see
the best possible fare, let's say, that is
offered by the airline. We will do the example now. Let's make a reservation for Mr. Fernand Gerard on the Barcelona
Rome flight on the 12th. So there will be two months of availability, A and March 12, March 12, Barcelona, and the airport code for Rome is
FCO with the airline Veling. Here we have three flights. We will take the first
flight at 7:15 A.M. In class, for example, okay? So SS one V one. I continue the PNR NM. Mr. Fernand Girard, I
would like to confirm that I have successfully processed
the ticket as requested. Following this, I
carefully entered the client's phone number into the system to ensure accuracy. Once that was completed,
I proceeded to finalize the process by
signing off on the document, ensuring everything was
in order. There you go. Everything is now
confirmed and completed, as per your instructions. And I am just recording
I want a price. The pricing, the
fare quote 100 TST, is just to get the fare,
so we will type FXX. It has no influence on
the airline or Amadeus. This pricing will
not be transmitted. Just to get the fare. Here it
tells us that it is 137 58. Now, two things if the client
it's mainly for the client. We tell him that
your trip will cost 137 euros to explain
here we have. Here is Fernand Gerard, Mr. Adult. FAER when it's FER, it means it's the
price before tax. Here we have the taxes
that are applied. The price per passenger
is 137 euros. We have a report
here before tax. It's 106 euros. Here we have the taxes,
I O, YQ, JD, QV. There, I will depend on the
countries and the airline. This total fine is what
the client has to pay. The client has to pay 137 d
58 to inform him of the fare. Now, if I go back to my
file, nothing has happened. I can close the file
and do something else. Non girard remains at
the booking stage. Now, if I want to charge, it means I have
to collect money. And send the
information to Amadeus and the airline that I
have collected money. The base fare, depending
on the client's type, so here we haven't
said anything. It's an adult. This is a fare that was issued
and provided by the airline viewing on March 12 for the Barcelona Rome flight. To price, I type FXP. So here the fare is 143 68, 43, 68. All right? All right. So 110, 32, 143, 108. When I want to validate
the fare to say here, this client will
pay me 143, 108. I collect money and inform the airline and Amadeus
that I have priced, so that I have collected money. To validate the pricing
just after the FXP, you type RF the
signature. There you go. When we have here in a PNR, the first thing that
appears is TST. It means that you have priced. Additionally, you have
two lines that appear, the FE line and the FV line, FF, which means fair V PAC. It means that it is the airline informing you that it has
received the pricing. Pricing received by the airline viewing on segment number two, that one, the itinerary, the route, fare that
has been issued and given for passenger one
for Mr. Fernand Girard. There you go. Now you
can save and it's done. We have priced with
the basic formula FXP. We now move on to
another case in case the client requests a
lower fare or a better fare. I will make a reservation
for March 12. Still Barcelona Rome. I will do it quickly.
Airline viewing, I will take the same
case. All right. So here I have six flights. I will take the second flight at 10:45 in class B
or in first class. SS a seat in class B, segment number two,
the flight at 10:45. I put, of course, Fernan
Gerard sir. There you go. I confirm the client's
phone number. So for passenger one,
I sign and I register. Now he wants the fare.
We are on another day. I made this reservation
on another day. The fare will change, of course. I type FXP. At first, it tells me that
so here we notice. 425 euros before tax. The tax is 126 euros. The price is 151 euros. The price is reported
here. The total is less. If the client says to me, Listen, that's a
bit too expensive. Is there a possibility
of getting a better fare based
on availability? In this case, we
immediately type FXB best. The fare is 551 euros, and what do we
notice? Here it is. The best possible fare with
a class change is 396 euros. If he agrees, then
what do I do? I sign. When you sign after a pricing, it means you have
validated the pricing. It implies that
you have received money and you are transmitting that to the company. Here we go. What do we say here? We have
a TST that has been sent. It is an invoice in the end. That has been sent that you
have received the money. V, it has been confirmed
by the company here. It was Air France
on segment two, passenger number one. What
do I have left to do? I sign once again
and I register. Here we go. We have seen the
three basic pricing options. Of course, we could
have used FXL, but it generally gives
the same result as FXB. Generally, it is just for advisory purposes to
see the best fare, even if it is not available. We generally work with FXBP for the base fare and FXB to get the best possible fare with
a potential class change. There you go.
18. - How to enter the form of payment cash credit card or check: Forms of payment. Once you have successfully booked a flight and priced it for the passenger, you must indicate
the form of payment, how the passenger paid you. The payment form order
is FP form of payment, and here you indicate
how he paid you. So we will see that there are
several types of payments, cash payment, credit card
payment, and check payment. This mention is mandatory
at the PNR level. The, the simplest, if the client pays for
their reservation, their plane ticket in cash, then you must enter FP cash. Very simple to do, or you can enter FPCA, it's equivalent. Second method starts with
credit card payment. So in cryptic form, if you do not have
a card reader, then it will be FP,
CC, credit card. Here you enter the 16 digits
of the credit card and D, and you put here the month and year of the
card's expiration. At D, you need to specify
the type of credit card. If it's an American Express
card, you must enter AX. You put AX and here are the
six digits of the card. V for Visa, EC for Eurocard, DI for Dina, CA for Mastercard. We put FP, CC, it's mandatory to
indicate that it's a credit card, the
code of the Visa, Mastercard, Eurocard, et cetera, the 16 digits of the card D and the expiration of the card. As here, for example,
we have this type of card, so it's a visa card. Here are the 16
digits of the card, so how to indicate
the payment method. It will be FP, CC VI, the 16 digits of the card, and the expiration on 1.25. Finally, for payment by check, you don't have to indicate any. Just you must indicate
that the payment was made by check,
form of payment check. Here we have a PNR, a
simple reservation from M Du Pinjan on flight Air
France 61 85 in first class, departure on December 12, day number five, which
means it's a Friday, departing from
Nice terminal one, arriving in Brussels,
terminal one, seat confirmed. Departure 1045 Arrival 14 Saka a ticket for the same day and
the aircraft used is a 537. There you go. It's confirmed. It's in HK. We want to
proceed with the payment. We will give him the fare
FXP he has to pay a total of 245 euros to validate,
to send to TST. We signed with our signature. Here, we have the TST, which means we have transmitted
the fare to the airline. Now, we indicate the payment
method by visa card. We will take this visa
card, it's Mr. Panjon. Here is the credit card number and here is the expiration date, and here is the type of card. We will insert this
payment method, it will be FPCC credit card. The type of credit card
is VI Visa mandatory. We enter here the seven
digits of the card. It's one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, 890-72-3456, three, four,
five, six, there you go. On D, we enter the
expiration date. All right. It's, let's say, January 25. There you go. Of course, once you validate, the system, of course,
hides the card number. That's because you entered it. If you have a card reader, it will directly input this line with the
numbers that are hidden. What remains is we sign, there you go, and we save. Now, let's assume it
was a cash payment, so I will delete the payment. The payment is seven, all right? If it was a cash payment. I just need to put FP cash. There you go. What I did now is as if someone
wanted to pay by card, then regret it, we deleted it and switched
back to cash payment. The same goes for
payment by check. For example, for a check, we will type check. There, I I type this, the system will refuse
because it will tell me you have already
entered the payment method. You need to delete it by X seven and enter the
new payment method, I sign and I save.
19. - How to issue the ticket and obtain the e ticket number: Today we are going to see
a very important course, if not the most important
in the entire Amada system, which is the course on the
issuance of E tickets. Any booking will only be valid if there is an
issuance of E tickets. What does the issuance
of E tickets consist of? The issuance of E tickets involves requesting
ticket numbers. E ticket numbers from
Amadeus and the airline. Once we issue or request the
generation of E tickets, it means that the
ticket is valid and that the passenger will be able to travel with this ticket. Once you have made the issuance, the system will generate FAAAx lines that
we will process. It will also generate
an FBPX line that will indicate to us that
the issuance has been successfully completed
and will generate an FM line that informs us
about the commission the agency will receive since
it has issued this ticket. We will process this
one by one, of course. So once you have
created the PNR, priced it with FHP or FXB and indicated
the payment method, the last step is to issue the ticket so that the
airline receives the ticket, and AmadiS also
receives the ticket. The ticket will thus be in
the entire AmadiS system, known worldwide at airports
and during check in. Once you have created the PNR, indicated a pricing and
provided a payment method. The last step to take
is the issuance. The issuance is done
with the TTP command, and there the system will generate three
lines for us like here. Let's take the example here. We have a PNR for Mr. Jean Patrick the Air
France flight on July 30. He paid in cash, and since
there is the TST line here, it means that pricing
has occurred. The last step would be to
request the ticket numbers, the issuance of tickets. We type TTP and
here is the result. System will generate
a FAPAx line for us. Ultimately, the FPAx line
is the electronic ticket, but in a cryptic way, we will, of course, explain what
the FPAx line consists of. What you need to know is that
if we have one passenger, we will have one FPAx line. If we had three passengers, we would have three FPAx lines. FAPAx is the electronic ticket. The FVPAx line confirms
that the issuance has been successfully completed and that there were no
transmission issues. Here we noticed
TTPO for C seven. In segment number two,
here is segment two, which is the itinerary. For passenger one,
Mr. Jean Patrick. The FM five line will
be covered in a course. The next course, which indicates the commission you will receive
for issuing this ticket. Now, let's explain
the FAPax line, which is the most important
part of the entire ticket. The FPAx line, as I said, indicates that it
is the electronic ticket in a cryptic form. Here, you have the
ticket number. Please note that carefully
the following information. The E ticket number,
you have ET, ET means valid E ticket. It was issued by the company
Air France in our case. Here you have the currency. In our case, it's euros. Here is the amount of the electronic ticket
for the passenger, which is what the
passenger paid. Here is the issuance date, meaning when you
issued the ticket, so when you typed TTP,
this is very important. We will see it
later. Here you have the office ID of the agency
that issued the ticket. Here, you have the Ayata number of the agency that
issued the ticket, and the ticket concerns
segment number two, itinerary two for
passenger number two. The Lil EV PACs. That is the transmission number. We generally do not use it, that we monitor here that
the issuance has been properly completed and that we have received
electronic tickets. We are going to
make a reservation for Mr. Jean Patrick on the Madrid Lisbon flight
with Veling on July 30. So A one, request for availability on July
30, Madrid Lisbon. With Bolling Airlines,
we have three segments. Let's assume he wants
to take the 7:45 P.M. Segment, so it's
segment number three. Says, I am taking a seat. In class, segment three, I am now entering the
name of the person, so sir Jan Patrick. Sir, I just want to
confirm the ticket, TK. I enter the phone number, at least one phone number of my client and ensure
there you go. Passenger one, I sign, and I register successfully. I have a ticket. Now I ask
for the payment method. With what? How will
Mr. Jean Patrick pay? He tells me, for example, I will pay in cash, so it
will be form of payment cash. Next, I price it. Normally, FXP, I request a fare for Mr. Patrick an adult on
the viewing flight, July 30, Madrid Lisbon. The fare is 46 euros. Total fine. That is the
amount. All taxes included. Here, five euros, it's 35 euros, that's before tax, taxes and there is the total
amount including taxes. We see here, he must
pay 46.09 euros. Let's assume they pay
us, so to validate, to create a TST, to transmit
the fare to the company, we sign with our signature. We have here a TST, we
have the lines FE and FV, which means that the fare has been transmitted
to the company. The last step of the
reservation for it to be complete and it is mandatory, is to absolutely carry
out what is called the issuance of electronic
tickets. There you go. We have the ticket.
What do we do? We sign, and we register to
complete the reservation. At this point, you
have completely finished Mr. Jean
Patrick's reservation. John Patrick, if we look
closely at the FPAx line, so the eight, it's the FA line number.
We'll need it later. Here, you have the
electronic ticket number, the E ticket number. SET means that it is a valid
E ticket, open for use. P is the company that
issued the ticket, in this case, Veling. Here you have the amount of
the travel project, 46 euros. Here, next to it, you have what is called
the issuance date, that is when you
made the ticket. Here, next, we have the office. D of the agency that issued the ticket accompanied
here by its Aeta number. Finally, this fare, 46 euros
concerns segment number two. Here it is for passenger
number one, here it is. Thus, we have completely
finished a reservation.
20. - Continuation of the course issue how to evaluate the agency commission: We continue the course on
the issuance of E tickets. In the previous lesson, we
covered the issuance of tickets and mentioned
that when we typed the TTP command to issue
the electronic ticket, three lines appeared,
the FAPAXline, the FP pax line, and the FM line, which
we will present today, we will present two
specific elements. The FM line allows calculating
the agency's commission, the additional commission that has been offered by the airline. So that the agency can
calculate the commission it is entitled to with
specific details. We will also look at the
concept of fare masks, how to display the TST, that is the fare that
has been issued by the FHP or FXB command. There you go. Let's take the
following example. We have a reservation here and we notice that there
is an FPAx line. This is the electronic ticket, as we have already explained. The fare is 423 euros. All taxes included. FBPX tells me that the issuance has been successfully completed
SM precisely, it is the line that allows you to calculate
your commission, the commission owed
to the agency, the commission offered
by the airline. Here we have the
case of FM five. It can be FM three, it can
be FM ten, it can be FMZO. We will see the two
possible cases. How do we calculate
our commission? Possible cases. If you have FEM with a number here
with the letter A next to it, it means that it is your
absolute commission. If we have FM, put five A here, it means that on this ticket, we are entitled to a
commission of 35 euros or $35 or 35 in the currency
of the agency's country. On the other hand, if we
do not have the letter A, FM five or FM two or FM three, it will depend on the airline
and the ticket itself. It means that if we have FM
five without the letter A, it means you are entitled
to 5% of the amount, excluding tax of the ticket
fare. Not the total amount. Problem is that at the level of FAPAX we have the total amount. So to display the fair
mask, the price we issued, we need to display the fair
mask using the command TQT and there we will display the fare mask
or the details of the fares. There, you will have
the display of the TST, which means the details of the fare that was
imposed on the client. Let's do an example right away. Here we have a
complete booking for Mr. Jean Patrick
on Vuling 40 45, class Y, July 30,
Madrid to Lisbon. The fare paid by the
client is visible in the FPAx line as we saw earlier, we have ET, so the ticket
is valid on airline VY. The fare is 46.09 euros, but 46 euros is all taxes
included. Here we have FM five. The Agency Commission is 5%
of the amount excluding tax, while here we have an
amount all taxes included. To display the amount
excluding tax, you need to display the
TST, that is the fare mask. To display the fare mask, the TQT command explains how
the fare was calculated. Here we have M. John Patrick, here you have the
itinerary route. And what comes after FIR Euro is the amount excluding tax. Here you have all the taxes
that have been applied with, of course, the
names of the taxes. The names of the taxes depend on the airlines
and the countries. There may be ten or 15 of them. So what interests us is the
amount excluding tax, 35 56, what the customer paid is 46.09, so we have the amount
of our commission. It's five multiplied
by 35.5 6/100. We will calculate it
now our commission. We have 5% multiplied by 35.56. Divided by 100 and so we
have an amount of 1.77, it's not much because the
ticket amount is 460. The higher the tickets, the
better your commission.
21. - How to enter the information of the passenger document passport identity card or driving license: The SR docs, that is how to enter passenger travel
document information. We will see when
it is mandatory to enter travel document
information at the PNR level. That is either the passport, the ID card, or for
certain countries, the driver's license, and we will also see how to
finally print the E ticket. Be aware that when
you create the PNR, when you do the
FXP or XP pricing, if at the beginning of the PNR, you have the TST
RLR SFP message, it means you must provide a secure flight
passenger document. You must indicate the passenger
document information at the end of the PNR using
the Bosa Docs command. If this RLRE SFP mentioned
does not appear, it means that the
travel document is not required at
the ticketing level. How to enter the
passenger document now when it is mandatory. So here is an example and we will now do an example
on the Amadeus system. You need to type
the command docs. The two letters that follow
are the airline code. Then you must enter HK one. And here you enter the continuation, the
type of document. P for passport, N
for identity card, and possibly D for
driver's license. Then you enter the code, the three letters, the code of the country that
issued the passport. Next, you enter the
passport number and then you simply enter the
passengers nationality. Next, you enter the
passengers date of birth. Then you provide the gender. Was it male or female? Next, you enter the expiration date of
the travel document. Then the first and last
names of the passengers, you input the passenger number
that appears in the PNR. Here, it is well explained and you can download
it because we have provided a PDF before doing the example how
after doing that, can you exactly
print the E ticket? Once you have created the PNR, that is the commands AN, SS, NM, AP, RF, ER, after pricing
the reservation, indicating a payment method, issuing the electronic ticket
to generate ticket numbers. And entering the travel document information using Sardoc, you can finally print the E
ticket with the command ITR. If you have the
printer connected, the electronic ticket
will just print. Let's do the example
on the Amadeus system. We have here right
now in front of us a PNR that we have currently
displayed right now. We notice that at the very
beginning of the PNR, there is the term TST, which means the
pricing has been done, RLR secure flight passenger. This means that you are required here to
validate the PNR, you must absolutely enter Mr. Hein Patrick's
passenger document. We assume that Mr.
John Patrick is of French nationality who has a French passport, so
we will put it here. The Sardox is
absolutely mandatory. So we start with SR Docs. Then you enter the airline code based on the travel segment. So here, he took a
trip with Air France. So we enter AF, then we can see that there is a TST, so it has been priced. There is FAPAC which means
that it has been issued, so we enter K, SET confirmed one person, right after you enter the
type of travel document. In this case, we
will assume that Mr. John Patrick gave us a passport. So we enter the term P. Next, we will enter the country code
that issued the passport. We will assume it is
a French passport. Then you enter the
passport number. Then you enter the country code, the nationality of the
passenger, the country code. So it is a passenger
of French nationality. Then you enter the
passenger's date of birth. We will assume it is
November 17, 1980. Then you enter the gender. Jean Patrick is male, so we enter M, then you enter the passport
expiration date. We assume it is November 27, then you just simply
need to enter. The passenger's name first name, slash the passenger's
position in the PNR. John Patrick is in
position one, P one. When we validate, we will see
that the system accepts it. There you go. The
system has accepted it. If there had been an error here, the system would have responded
with invalid transaction. I sign, and I save. Now, to print the document, I just have to type ITR. If you have one passenger, the printer will print
you an E ticket. If you have multiple
passengers, you will get four. If you have, for example, four passengers, you will
have four electronic tickets. Let's just see how the electronic ticket
will be displayed. Where's the electronic ticket. It has been displayed
here in PDF format, which you will get on the
printer, E ticket simulation. The first thing that appears is the code of the agency
that issued the ticket. It's address, the
address of the agency, the first and last
name of the passenger. Booking reference, it's the file number, the
E ticket number. Can have four passengers
for one file. They will have the same
booking reference ale number, but each will have their
own E ticket number. Here, the E ticket
number is 16 60, et cetera date here, when was the ticket issued? April 8, 2024. Here you have the travel
itinerary for July 30 from Madrid to Lisbon with
Air France flight 13 95, departure time, 7:15 A.M. Arrival, 10:45 A.M. Then you have a summary
of the details, excluding taxes, the taxes, and finally, the total amount. Of the ticket, what
the passenger paid.
22. - How to create an electronic miscellaneous document EMD for payments for special services: Here, it's different. It's when the person already has an electronic ticket
and either returns to the agency to request
another special service, an extra baggage, or
a pet in the hold or medical assistance or a
special meal, but be careful. Here, the person is not
like in the previous case. In the previous case,
from the start, the person had requested an
additional special service. Here, we assume that the person
already has an E ticket, so they already
have FAPAx lines. They want to add either
at the agent level or at check in at the airport
a special service. We need to display their
PNR, and of course, we will see how to add
this special service, and it's a voucher
that will be added to the electronic ticket
or even to the invoice. Call it an EMT, EMT is added after there has
been an electronic ticket. Today, we will see how to add an extra baggage or
additional bags. We will also look at the
concept of the TSM mask. The TSM mask, as we will see, displays a mask showing only the rates for
special services. So to add an extra baggage, know that the command is SR, special service request BGB. To simply and indeed add
a second extra baggage, the command is SR BRC. Once you have successfully
completed that, you will then need to
clearly indicate it at the PNR level and understand how to properly price
this special service. The mask TSM that we will see
is to display the rates for special services
such as animals in the hold extra
baggage paid seats. So that it can be added to the reservation rate and how
to issue this PNR to obtain electronic tickets that
will contain the rates for the segments and also for
the special services. So for baggage, when you want
to add an extra baggage, for example, it
will be SR PAC B. Here you indicate the segment on which the person has taken
their extra baggage. Here in this specific case, the extra baggage is for
passenger number one, who is in position
one in the PNR. And segment number two,
itinerary two of the PNR. For example, if you
have a passenger who wants to make a round trip, the outbound is Segment
two and segment three, so you will need to add
S two common three. Of course, if the extra luggage or the additional
service in general is done for all
the itineraries he requested, then we
can ignore that. The system will understand that passenger number
one is requesting an extra piece of luggage or a specific special
service for all segments, for all the itineraries
they have used. This is for the request. Now, we need to price this service because it is an
additional service outside of the
itinerary reservations. So to display the price
of the special service, after typing the command SR, you type the command FXG. You will have exactly
the detailed price of the special service
you requested, and it will be
thoroughly explained. If you want to display
all the services requested by the client, you just need to type
TQM, TQM, TQM, TQM. TQM only displays the rate
for special services. On the other hand, TQT displays
the rate for segments, itineraries, that is the trip. TQM displays the TSM mask which shows the special services
mask. It is not mandatory. Now once you have
indicated the rate for the special service and the client pays you for
this additional service, you will of course,
need to indicate the payment method for
the special service. So it will be TMI FPFOp
here you put the method, cash, check or credit card, as we saw in the
previous lesson. Then you just to
of course issue. You will need to issue
the electronic tickets to have electronic tickets. It will be ttp.com dot, ttm.com dot, art.com dot. Can place RT later,
not necessarily now. If you want to not only print the tickets and send them
to your client by email, you will need to type the
command TTPchs TTM ITR, ITR to print, but to the
email, but be careful. This assumes that
at the PNR level, you have indicated
the command Ape, contact element E,
which means email and the email must appear at the PNR level as we saw
in the previous course. EPR la RTC, we will do an example now
on the Amadeus system. We have here a PNR that
has just been displayed. It's Chris Anna,
who has a trip on August 12 between
Berlin and Brussels, returning on August 19
between Brussels and Berlin. We have here his
Pepex ETag line. It's a valid label to be paid
162 euros on June 20, 2024. She came back to us
at the agency or at the airport asking to
add a special service. Let's assume she requests
an extra baggage. It's special request BAGB. We can indicate here a
free text, for example, 27 kilos, at the check in
level, this is what they do. Slash for whom for
passenger number one, here is Chris Helena
and on which segment. Does she want to send
additional baggage on Berlin Brussels flight and
return or one of the segments? If she only wants, for example, for the outbound, it will
be segment number two. But if she wants on
segments two and three, we can write S two coin three. It's all the segments,
we can ignore those, but we can include them as well. S three, S three, it means she wants to carry
an additional 27 kilo baggage for the outbound and the
return. So there you go. The additional extra baggage
is pending confirmation. N, now need to price it. FXG here we have the request. Misses Christiana's request
will cost her 15 euros. If she agrees to
pay the 15 euros, she pays them, and
what do we do? We sign with Armadea
signature and we register. Then we will need to indicate
the payment method. TMI FP. Let's assume she paid for the additional service
in cash. So it's paid. Now we will need to issue here, we will do a reissuance only for the additional
service she requested. So we are required to display the additional services
mask, the TSM mask. TQM here it tells us that
misses Chris Elena has requested an additional baggage and it will cost her 15 euros. We sign and site. Before searching, we
retrieve the TSM number. It's up there, TSM one. The TSM number is one. Sign and we register. Now, we need to issue the EMD, which means we will
print a voucher where the extra baggage
or additional service is charged and issue it to the company that this lady has paid for an
additional service. To issue, it will be TTM, the TSM mask number RT.
It's not mandatory. There you go, what do
we notice? Okay, EMD. The electronic
miscellaneous document has been sent and the person, of course, will
have a printout of a voucher regarding the
additional service. What do we notice? We have a new FupAx line
that appears Dt the company, and there we have
exactly the surcharge. Here, in the first FPAX line, we have the fare for
the two segments, outbound and return, and here we have the fare for
the additional service. All that's left is to sign
and record, and there you go. You have learned how to add an additional service
after the PNR, meaning that the
person already has an E ticket and wants to add one or more additional services
at the agency or airport.
23. - how to insert and price a paid seat: Still within the framework
of special services, we will look at a case
that often arises, which is how a person, if the passenger wishes to
choose their own seat. In this case, how to
display the cabin plan, how to choose a seat, see
if the seat is paid or not, and of course, how to
price this paid service. That is the paid seat. Here is an example
of a cabin plan. Still within the framework, when you have created the PNR, know that to display
the cabin plan, you need to type SM,
the segment number, that is the O itinerary number, SM two or SM three or SM four. Let's do an example. Once you
have the cabin plan here, like here, for example,
then how to choose a seat. You have here A, B, CD, E F. These are the
seat row numbers. And here you have
the numbers 28, 29, 30, et cetera. And here you have the legends. The legends differ from
one company to another. So here, in light blue
are the prestige classes. So they are necessarily paid. There you go in dark blue, here, as you can see, these are
the seats that are paid. Here, for example, are the
preferred seats because people can they are at the front of the plane and here it tells
you that when there is an X, it means that the seat
is already occupied. If for example, a passenger
chooses one of these seats, for instance, here in green, it will be seat 28. Let's do an example.
To choose the seat, it's the seat number. For example, a seven. We can't because
they are occupied. A seven or rather
A eight is free. B nine, B eight is also free. A nine is free and so on. ST the seat number, slash the passenger
number in the PNR, the position of the
passenger in the PNR, and on which segment
they want to choose the seat because
they may have chosen several segments then once you have chosen the segment
to price the segment, it's like special services. Each special service
is priced with FXGE. Once you have the fare, you validate it with your signature, and if you want
to have the list, as we already mentioned, of the special services used
or requested by the client, you just need to
display the TSM mask, which is the mark
of special services with the TQM command, as we saw in the
previous course. Then you need to indicate
the payment method, how the passenger paid
for this paid seat. So TMI FP and pull the payment month cash or by
check in the case of credit. In the end, of course,
you need to issue this paid service
with TTP TMI RT. We will now do an example. An example on the Amadeus site, we will make a reservation
for Mr. Benner Fernand. His travel plan is
Bordeaux Brussels on April 12 with a
return on April 19. Here we have Mr. Benner's
contact details, that is his email. Of course, Mr. Benner is
most likely assumed to be requesting a window
seat. On the left side. We will now make his
complete reservation. In the exercise, Mr. Bernard Fernan wants to travel from Bordeaux to
Brussels round trip. If we do not know the
airports in Bordeaux, we just need to type, as we saw in the previous
lesson, Dan Bordeaux. And the system shows that
you go airport body. Airport code for
boda is Body Mergac. We make the availability request and we get the returns directly. N, April 12, bod, Brussels, we know
it's Boro star. The return, he requests that on April 19 and we assume he wants to depart
with Airfrance AF. There you go. We have the
first table, April 12, which concerns the aisles
segments, one, two, three, we have the
table for April 19, which concerns the return. The proof is here. Oh, Bordeau
Brussel Bordeaux Brussel. Here we have Brussels Bordeaux.
We will choose the aisle. We have one seat, one
passenger, Sess one. Now we will choose
the aisle segment. Let's assume he wants
to leave at 7:45 P.M. If we want to get him
the cheapest seat, it will be class Y. Y, 7:45 P.M. Segment
number three, and for the return
now on April 19, he wants to return at 8:30 P.M. The cheapest class
is the last class, which is class C. There
are six seats left, we will take class C segment, it's segment number 13. There you go. There you go. We have taken the segments well. April 12, Bordeaux, Brussels, April 19, Brussels Bordeaux. We confirmed the seats, Ticoca and we enter the
passenger information. He gave us his email, so APA, which means email, BNR. It is preferable to enter the name directly
into the system. One, BNR BNR, Fernand
Mr. Or perhaps even Now we enter
a contact element. He gave us his email ape
email, Bn gmail.com. There we sign to get a file
number and we register. There we have a
file number 4310. The pricing of the segments
means how much he has to pay for Bordeaux to Brussels
and Brussels to Bordeaux. FXP prices the segments. It will cost him 391 euros
to validate the TST. We sign and register. Now we introduce
the payment method. Let's assume he paid cash
as the method of payment. So we have priced the segments. Now he asked to choose his seat. He has certain requirements. The first thing, we will
take the first segment Air France Bordeaux to Brussels because here
it's the same aircraft. They are Airbus 330, but it could be
different aircraft. We will try to map
the first equipment, the first plane, same
CMP, segment number two. Here is the map of
the first segment. We notice here it is important to read the
legends carefully and the map will depend on
the equipment, the aircraft. It will not always
be the same map, not always the same legends. Here, we can see clearly
it's the prestige classes, standard seats, seats
with more leg room, preferred seats at
the front, et cetera. We can see here that X
means unavailable seats. We can see here the
series of Xs that are available he requested a seat on the left side by the window. The first one that
is available is 40. He absolutely wants to be at
the front of the aircraft. We tell him, Listen,
sir, you can take seat. A 40, but it is free. Because when it says Y, according to the legend here, you should read the
legend carefully. Y means chargeable
seat, which means paid. We tell him, we are putting you by the window
on the left side, seat A, column A, seat 40, seat A 40 is free, but you won't be very far at
the front of the aircraft. He tells us, no, I absolutely want to be at
the front of the aircraft. Now we will look
at the right side. The right side here
X, it's taken. We tell him, well, there is a seat a little further at
the front of the aircraft. It's seat F 38. But
it is chargeable. Et's assume he will
choose too bad, I choose F, it is payable. We will do two examples with the paid seat and the free seat. We chose 38. You can click, either you click on it
twice and the site will handle the seat reservation
or you do it cryptically, it will be STF 38. There we explain. We say that it is for
passenger number one, the position of the passenger
segment number two. And there it is. Now an SSR line will appear with the slash. You can clearly see request. It's a request Air France, HK one, Bordeaux, Brussels. The seat that was taken is F 38. N means that he NP one S two. Now I will be called
for the second segment. So it's SM three. Now for the second segment, we have displayed the map. Here he tells us, it's okay. I will take the left side, the left side, the window seat as close as possible
to the front. Here we have a seat that
is free and that is free. It's seat a 40. We took segment one, a paid
seat, and now a free seat. Either we click
twice, it will be validated or we do
it in a cryptic way. That is to say textually
as follows, a 40, ST. Seat a 40 for passenger one, but
segment number three. There you go. We have
taken two seats, seat F 38, which is paid and seat a 40,
which is not paid. To now just display the fare, only for the paid seat, it will be FXG the system
tells us that there you go. His request is 17 euros. For the paid seat.
There we sign, of course, the FXP
and we register now. We need to indicate
the form of payment, but the form of payment for
what? Just for the seat. It's just TMI form
of payment cash. If it were a visa card, we would have put CCVI
and here the card number. All right. Well, let me see. Here is the card
number. D for validity, all right, for expiration. We will assume that he
made a cash payment. There you go. The
seat, of course, pay. There you go. All right. Now if we want to
see the TSM mask, of all the paid services
he has paid for. Here, in this case, there is only one paid service. But if he had chosen a pet
in the hold or a wheelchair, it would all be SSR lines. To see just the paid
services to display the TSM mask of the additional
services he requested, we typed the Command TQM. Indeed, we can see here that the paid service he
requested costs 17 euros. This is not mandatory, but it is just to see
the TSM displayed. The TSM indicates
the special services he requested in addition. Let's return to our PNR. What do we have left to do now? We need to issue
the ticket, so TTP, but we have an
additional paid service, so we need to do TTP. RT, well, it's not mandatory, but we put TTP to
issue the tickets. That is to say to obtain
tickets, and there we go. We have a ticket
and the fare that is there, there is nothing left. Well, we can optionally add the SRDOx to indicate his
passenger information, his passport. SRD P, SRDx. Don't forget that you must
absolutely include the, the airline code, AF
HK one. There you go. We can add the passport number
as well, and there you go. What is the origin of
the French passport, FR 12345678 with passenger Info. Then the passengers DOB 1990 mail there the expiration date
of the passport, June 20, 2027 and we can use SPR We sign, and we carefully register
each and every detail. There you go. We saw
how to introduce a paid seat with Academy
mapping. Thank you.
24. - Corrected exercise complete reservation for family: Going to do a complete exercise.
Here it is the booking. We're going to try to make
a complete booking for Chris Ronaldo's
family and his wife, Christina, with their
10-year-old son, Leo and Monica, who
is 65-years-old. Here, you have the
contact details, a phone number for Monica, an email for Chris Ronaldo, and a home number
for the family. The travel plan is as follows. Canary Islands to
Istanbul on January 12, Istanbul to Dubai on January 20, Dubai to Canary
Islands on January 29, let's assume that you've never dealt with this city before. We're going to go back to
the course on coding and encoding how from a city to
know the airport code S, you're asked to proceed
with the normal pricing, the payment method, and the ticket issuance to
get the label number. We will need to look for
or find we will have to provide the family's file number, the
reservation number, the label numbers
for each passenger, each passenger, and
their ticket number, the total amount including tax, which means the total amount
paid for each passenger. This means how much Chris
Ronaldo's ticket will cost, how much Christina's
ticket will cost, and we will notice
that there will be some discounts for Leo
and Monica for this trip. You're also asked
for the total amount that Chris has to
pay for his family. Then we're going to
try to figure out how to calculate the commission
earned by the agency, which is provided
by the airline. In this PNR, I'm going
to intentionally make mistakes with some
of the first names and see how to correct
them later on. I remind you that I'm working
on this exercise with our Amadeus training simulation
software which simulates all the commands of the
Amadeus system GDS. Let's go. The travel plan
for Chris's family is, as we said, Canary
Islands to Istanbul. Let's assume we don't
know the airport codes for the Canary
Islands and Istanbul. What are we going to do to
summarize what we've done? DAN determined airport name. When we look up the
Canary Islands, we'll get the list of airports
in the Canary Islands. Here we have A, which
stands for airport. We have the code A
for Lanzaote airport which is the Canary Islands. We have the code LPA, Las Palmas Grand Canaria which is the largest airport
in the Canary Islands. We have PLP, we NT. The person usually chosen, let's assume they picked Las
Parmas so the code is LPA. For Istanbul, we just need to type Istanbul into
the search bar. To clarify, that's
ISTANBUL Istanbul, sorry, for any confusion,
it's DAN Istanbul. This ensures we have
the correct spelling and pronunciation
for our records. So we have IST or C, which is also known
as Istanbul airport. So we can clear
the screen and now we can start. What did we say? We're going to look
for availability from Canary Islands to
Istanbul on January 12, it will be on January 12, LPA IST. We have six options. Okay. Is that clear now, right? Segment one Dua far
funk, seven kiss, eight to Theta 2:15 P.M. 7:00 P.M. 8:00 P.M. Let's say the family decides
to leave at PM. That will be segment five.
So how many are there? There are four people. So what are we going to do SS four. We're going to take
the cheapest class, the one that's at
the end of the list. So it's Y and which
segment did they take? The fourth, fifth segment, 8:00 P.M. Fifth segment. There you go, it's
starting to come together. This is for the first segment, class Y, January 12, day two, so it's Tuesday,
Pa terminal uno, arrival in Istanbul
terminal one. Four unconfirmed
seats, starting at 8:00 P.M. We're going to
take the other segment, which was Istanbul to Dubai. Exactly as planned
and scheduled on January 20 as expected. The airport code
in Dubai is DBX. If we don't know,
we do DAN Dubai, we'll get DBH, AN, January 20, January 20, Istanbul, IST, Dubai DBX. We always have five options, assuming they want to
take the 7:15 A.M. Flight, Dubai to Istanbul,
then back to Dubai. You can see here starting
from Istanbul terminal one, arrival in Dubai Terminal
two with Air France, we're going to take
SS four seats. Now, you notice that the cheapest class Y has
only two seats available, so it's better to
put them together. So Y two is not possible. M is full, N is full. There are two seats left in E, and q seven is the
cheapest class. By trying to group the family in the same class, it
would be class Q. Class Q, and of course, which segment will
it be? There you go. Headset eight, January
20, Istanbul to Dubai, four unconfirmed seats, starting at 15. We have one flight left. It's Dubai Canary on January 29, it will be AN January 29, DBX Dubai Canary LPA. They're going to take let's say they want to
return at 6:30 P.M. The same issue, 6:30 P.M. It's only four. We're taking four seats because there are
four people in the family. In segment four, we're going
to group them together. Here, Y three, there
are only three seats left in class Y, full MC, full, EC, full. Class V has nine
seats left and more. V and which segment fire. There you go. We now have the
PNR starting to take shape. Now, we need to enter the
passengers into the system. We have Mr. Chris,
Leo, who is an adult. There's no specification, so
that means it's an adult. Therefore, NM one. Which stands for the
passenger Chris Leo, sir. There you go. The PNR
is starting to show up when you have the
NHP alert in red. It's not an error.
It's just an alert. The Amadeus system alerts you. He tells you, listen,
you've booked four seats, and so far, you've only
checked in one passenger. So you're going to keep
entering the passengers and the system will stabilize
and the NHP will disappear. It's just an alert to let you know that you need
to complete the booking, enter the other passengers. So the other
passenger was NF one. We said, Chris, Christina. Christina Mm. There you go. Of course, we still have Leo. Well, Leo, the problem
is that he's older. It's not a problem.
He's 10-years-old. So you absolutely need
to inform the system so that the pricing takes into account that it's a
10-year-old child. 11 still the Chris family, Leo Sir, to say that
he's 10-years-old, that's the code,
just a reminder. We've already covered
this in class, CHD, which means child. There you go. It's a child.
It's showing up here. We still have their
grandmother, Monica, who 65-years-old. Same thing for it to be taken into account
in the pricing, because seniors usually
get a certain discount. So you'll need to include
that in the naming. So it will be NMO, Chris. And then we put in the code
for senior, we'll say YCD. There you go. Look,
the NHP message has disappeared because the inconsistency
between the number of passengers and the
number of bookings, which is HN four here
has disappeared. So four passengers
and four bookings. What do we have left now? Introduce the contact details. So we have misses
Christina's phone number. It was OID 88. We're going to put it. So APM, which means contact
element, the mobile number, so 08888 to indicate that
it's indeed Christina's, we're going to check Christina's
position in the PNR. So that's position
three. So phone passenger three.
And there you go. I realized that I
made a mistake. I introduced Leo twice. That means Chris Leo here, shield is indeed the child. Instead of entering the name of his father who is Ronaldo, instead of putting
Ronaldo, I put Leo here. We can always go
back to the mistake. So here, we need to ask ourselves what we need
to change. Chris Leo. Needs to be replaced
by Chris Ronaldo. So we need to change
the first name. So I'm asking you to go back to the lesson on
changing the first name. What first name do
we need to change? It's position four, so we put four and we enter Mr.
Ronaldo directly. It will automatically
replace it. Look here, Mr. Ronaldo. Okay. So here's the new PNR. I intentionally
introduced this mistake to tell you that before
the ticket is issued, we can always change or correct the first name in
case of an error. So I'm entering
the phone number. I'm entering Mr.
Ronaldo's email, Ronaldo. Ronaldo is in position four. I was Chris 54 yahoo dot far. Sete Quatro A Yahoo. And of course, that's Ronaldo's. So position four. There you go. So we have the phone,
let's say, from home. I will be APH, contact element
home. H comes from home. We're entering the phone number
four ad and there it is. What do we have left to do now? Hundred 8712787. We just made the reservation, already at the
reservation level, we sign and register to
obtain a file number. It tells me here, PNN balance
kept complete information, which is totally
normal because I forgot to change the
status, which is mandatory. We need to do TKK to change the status from HN
unconfirmed seats to HK, which means four
confirmed seats. That means they've been taken. And the airlines will have the information that four
seats have been booked. So four seats for
the Iberia flight, four seats for the
Air France flight, and four seats for the
Air France flight 92 48, we sign once again and register. Now, we need to do the
pricing, of course. To get the pricing,
the normal pricing will take into account the
types of passengers like here, senior, child, and we'll consider the booking
classes and the airlines. What do we do in this case? FXP. Notice here, we're going to answer
the first question. Chris Monica, the senior, is going to pay 725 euros. Mr. Chris Leo, the child, is going to pay 755 euros. Chris Christina, the lady, she will pay 927 euros and Mr. Ronan will
have to pay 907 euros. See that in this flight, discounts were offered
to children and seniors and at the
bottom, total fine. That's the amount the
family has to pay. So if everyone pays separately,
here are the rates. If it's Mr. Chris who's
handling the payment, we have to pay 395.98 euros. So dip DgihaoTo
validate the pricing, we do R EK, we sign,
and there you go. You have the TST displayed, and you have the FEF V lines. TST means that you
have priced it and who received the
pricing, we have Air France. On segment five,
the fare applies to segments five through
seven, segment, this segment and this segment
for which passenger from passenger one to passenger
four on a 34, exactly. What do we have left
now? The payment method. Let's assume they paid in cash. I will be FP form
of payment, cash. Now one of the most
important steps, we need to get the E ticket
numbers, the tickets. So we're going to do what
we call the issuance. The issuance is done by
TTP, and there you go. Here we can see that the F
APX line concerns P one, so it concerns Chris Monica. Chris Monica paid 725 euros and her E ticket
number is here it is. It's 312821, et cetera. The second line, F APAC, line 17 concerns passenger two. Mr. Chris Leo, the child paid 755 euros and here's
his E ticket number. Finally, P three and P four. P three is for misses Christina. She paid nine hole 7.15 euros. And here's her E ticket number. Now for Mr. Ronaldo, he also paid nine whole 7.15 euros and here's his
E ticket number. Here I sign to
validate and I save. If I want to print
the E tickets, all four tickets, I just have
to do ITR and there you go. Now I'm going to
print on my system. You'll see the four tickets that will be displayed the
ticket, the first one. Here we have the
travel agency, yours, possibly, passenger
Chris Monica, Mum, she is a senior. This is the booking
reference number, and this is the ticket number, the date when the
ticket was issued, here we have the three segments. LPA Istanbul, Istanbul
Dubai, Dubai Altea, Dubai LPA, baggage
allowance, 23 kilo Max. She paid 725.72 euros. Mr. Leo's ticket, same segments. John 12 Canary
Islands, Istanbul, John 20, Istanbul Dubai, John 21, Dubai Canary Islands. Christina paid 907 euros. What she paid? All right? She paid 725 euros and $0.72. Here we have, of course,
Mr. Leo's ticket. All right. The booking
reference is the same. But a different E ticket, same thing, the three same
segments with their dates. Like here, January 12,
Canary Islands, Istanbul, January 20, Istanbul, Dubai, January 21, Dubai,
Canary Islands. And of course, the same thing we have here,
the payment summary, FAC before taxes, the taxes, and what Leo paid, and so on. Christina, same thing. She paid 907 euros and so on, up to the last ticket for Mr. Ronaldo who also paid
nine ho seven euros. And so on Christina, same thing. She paid 907 euros and so on, up to the last ticket for Mr. Ronaldo who paid nine hole
seven euros. There you go. Ronaldo who paid nine
hole seven euros. There you go. So we've
answered all the questions. We saw the fare for
each passenger and we saw that the
fare that Ronaldo, it will be around 3,900 euros. If we forget it,
then we can't re enter FXP because we've
already priced it. So it's going to be rejected by the system unless
we delete the TST, so it's totally possible to
give the display status. That's what we
call the MAX fare. I've already mentioned it. So we're going to type
TQT to get a summary, and here it is the summary
of the four tickets. We have a complete
summary and look here, total fine 3295 euros. The total cost for the four
tickets will be 3295 euros. We call that the MAX
fare the MAX fare, and this is test number two. We can go back. At any time, you can do this to get the total fare we've answered almost all the
questions. What do we have left? What is the amount
of the commission? We already told you
in a class that FM indicates the commission
offered by the company. Here we have FM five. That means the agency gets approximately 5% of
the amount before tax. I'm talking about the
amount before tax. Unfortunately, here we have amounts that are
all taxes included, so we have FM five here. If you have an FM
two, that would be 2% of the amount before tax. However, if instead of FM five, you have something like
FM 100 A, if you have AA, which means amount, that
means you will receive 100 euros or $100 depending
on the currency of the PNR. That means it's an
amount of 100 A. When it says A, it means 100
euros on all the tickets, not on each ticket,
but on the entire PNR. When we don't have the A,
for example, if we have two, it means it's a percentage, but it's on the
amount before tax. For our case, we have FM five, which means 5% of the
amount before tax. How do you find the
amount before tax? It's very simple with the
fair mask TQT as usual. Here, we have the total
amount including tax. Here we have the taxes, and here the amount before tax. Is 25 42. If I want to calculate
the agency commission, it will be commission
equals five times 2,542.9 7/100 and we'll get the amount
of the commission here. We got the amount of the We've thoroughly answered all
the questions about the PNR and comprehensively. There you go and I'm back to
my PNR. Thank you very much.
25. - How to book and price an open ticket: Are going to talk
about open tickets, what are called open segments. What does an open segment mean? What are the conditions to be able to book an open segment? When we say open segment, it means that we are booking an itinerary, but
without a date, the customer will pay
for their itinerary, but does not specify the date, and what are the
amateur commands that allow booking
an open segment? Know that generally, there is
an outbound flight that is reserved and confirmed and a return for which the person
does not know the date. Not know when they
will come back, but they want to pay
for it in advance. Let's look at the conditions. She will go to an agency and of course, book
a certain date. And since it is paid, she
does not have to pay again. Open round trips are
generally not allowed by airlines or an open
one way ticket, which is generally not
allowed by the airline, but an outbound ticket and an open return without
a date is allowed. Now, how to do it. When you have a PNR and you have booked an
outbound flight for the return to reserve a seat on an open
segment without a date, it is so the airline code, the class, and the segment,
meaning the itinerary. For example, Charles De Gol, Barcelona, Barcelona,
Rome, et cetera. Example, if we want to
book an open ticket, class Barcelona, Madrid,
with the airline Iberia, we will need to do so IB,
the airline afterwards, the booking class,
and then the route, the itinerary,
Barcelona, Madrid. But be aware that
this segment will be valid from the date of
the outbound segment. That is to say,
before doing this, you have already booked an
outbound segment with SS, we can still book
from a certain date. This means that if
we do, for example, open segment, Iberia in class, F on April 12,
Barcelona, Madrid, it means he will pay
for this segment, but he will only be able
to book from April 12. Now, how to do it. Here we go. We will take an example now, how to make a reservation
for an open segment, what we call an open ticket. As I already told
you, the majority, many airlines refuse to issue. An open ticket for
a simple one way. Generally, they require a
confirmed reservation now, then a return on an open ticket, meaning the ticket
will be paid for. But the date will
not be specified. We will start with an example. We will look for example, Mr. Riad Mares wants to make a round trip
from Madrid to Rome. Confirmed date, but
for Rome to Madrid, he wants to do it
as an open ticket. He doesn't know when
he will return, but still wants to pay
for his return ticket. For Rome, if I don't remember
the airport codes for Rome, I just have to type the command, as I already said in
previous lessons, determine airport name Rome. There are three airports
meaning airport, there's Campino
airport code CIA. Leonardo Da Vinci airport, Code FCO and Metropolitan
Air Code Rom. For Madrid, I know that most
people know it, it's MD. Mr. Mares wants to
leave on April 12. An availability. April 12, there
you go, APR April, Madrid, Rom, FCO, it's
at Leonardo DaVinci. There you go, the availability,
so he will take a seat. Let's assume he tells us
he wants the 2:45 P.M. Flight, so it's
segment number three. He wants the most
expensive class. So here it's class U. I remind you that the
classes are displayed from the most expensive
to the least expensive. I take a seat SS one class U
segment three. There you go. There you go. We have
AH Algeria Time, September 27, U April 12 day
four, which means Thursday. Madrid terminal one,
Rome terminal two, seat not confirmed,
departure 2:15 P.M. Arrival 4:45 P.M. On equipment and A 330,
which means airbus. Madrid says, I don't
know about the return, but I will pay for
my ticket anyway. So to take a return segment, an open segment, an open ticket, it's oh, which
means open segment, then we need to code that. Sorry, you must
provide the name of the airline if you
want to come with Air Algae or our airline, for example, we will
take, always okay. If it were our airline
on Air France, we would just type AF. We will leave Air France,
open ticket. So AF. But generally, it is preferable to have an open ticket
with the same airline AH. Then you need to provide
the booking class. In the class, there are certain specifics
between airlines. For example, for Air Algeri, open segments are generally
done with class Y. For other airlines, generally, they take the most
expensive class, or they have a regulation that states that
for open segments, you must take such a
class for Air Algeri, it's class Y and then open
segment air Algeri in class Y, and there we provide
the itinerary, that is to say the
return Rome Madrid. So we notice that we
have two segments here, non confirmed segment, H N Madrid Rome, and an open return on RLJ
in class Y, Rome Madrid. What do I do now? NMO, I give the name of the
person, for example, Rad Mels Mr.. We have
the PNR here that is displayed starting
to appear Okay. I confirmed the ticket,
the status, so TKO. It is in HN one,
meaning not confirmed, one seat, so TKO okay. It will change to HK HK
meaning ticket confirmed. Then, of course, we need to
provide a contact element, APM AP, which means contact element and M,
which means mobile. That is, we retain the mobile phone number
of real message. Well, we will take any number, of course, eight slash P one. Well, the slash
is not mandatory. Which means that
this phone number belongs to the passenger
P passenger one. For a single passenger, it is not mandatory at all, but when we have
multiple passengers, it is preferable to specify to whom the phone
belongs. There you go. I can add to P the
contact details of the travel agency that
come up automatically. It's configured by Amadeus. What do I have left to do? I sign with the signature that Amadeus gave me and I save. I made a reservation, confirmed, and I
have a file number. Of course, it is numeric,
but it may be Alpha numeric. Now, be aware that the
ticket must be paid. So Mr. Mayer must pay
for the outbound flight, which is confirmed and
also the open return. Okay. So if I want to see
only the rates without TST, not just a quote, then FXX
gives me only the rate. So here, it is at
100 163-48-3508. Sorry, that's the ticket.
Here it is. Madrid Ro Madrid. Okay. Round trip, the ticket is confirmed and the
segment is open. Now, if I want to know
just the fare for the open segment only, okay. So the complete
ticket is 116,358. To know the fare for
the open segment, it's fax open. Here it's 77,000. You notice that the price of the open segment is very high compared to
the confirmed ticket, even if he had taken
class U, okay? We can clearly see
the difference. I go back to my file,
it accepts the payment. We go, it requests
a cash payment, we give the form of payment,
form of payment cash. I remind you that FP means
form of payment cash, and now I price it, meaning
it has accepted the fare. I need to send this to the
company ARN and to Mads, so it's FXP. Here it is. The same fare comes out,
116,000 dinars and 76,000, practically three
quarters of the ticket. The total cost of
the ticket is total. This is the total of
the two segments. But the open segment, you
remember, was 76,000 dinars, so it's practically
three quarters of the ticket to show you that
open fares are expensive. I validate by signing. Here it is. There is a TST, we see it here,
the TST is there. Meaning the ticket has
been transmitted to the company, what do
I have left to do? Just, of course, issue
the ticket to sign. EKE, there you go and then save. We have line FA, which is the most important line
here, we have APAC. Here is the E ticket number
of the electronic ticket. ET means E ticket valid
from the company Algeria. There we have the fare for the outbound flight
and the open segment. The issue date is when
the ticket was issued. Office ID of the agency,
the agency number. This fare concerns
segments two and three. There you go. It's well stated. Segment two, here it is. Segment number two and
segment number three. For passenger number
one, there you go. I just sign once again, I simply save there you go. I provided some information on how to create
an open segment, but we can, for example, take another case quickly. Someone, for example, a student going abroad who knows
their departure date but does not know their
return date because it will depend on the exams.
Will there be holidays? No holidays? We have
to retake exams, and his father, to reassure himself wants to pay for the
outbound and return trip. Let's take a case,
for example, AN. Let's say he wants to
take 1 October to Paris. Many students go to Paris to study with the
airline Air France. We have the Air France
curves, three flights always. He wants to take
the first flight, the one at 7:45, SS one. He will take the cheapest class. Here it's class L. This one
is on the waiting list. M is full, L is the cheapest. L segment one, his son wants
him to leave on 1 October. But for the return, his son does not know the return date
because he is a student. Are the holidays on June 30, June 15, or July 1? Will there be any
makeup classes or not. But his father still
wants to make sure that his son will have
the ticket already paid. We will take an open segment, Airfrance the same class, L, and the return to CDG. Orange. But here
the open segment will be valid
starting October 1. But here we are sure
that after all, his son knows he will have
the whole year to spend, so it is better to give a date. For example, starting
from June 1 or June 15. That means the open
segment will be valid, starting from June 15, because his son finishes
around June 30, July 15, but he doesn't know. But in any case, it's an open segment that will
be paid, but there you go, starting from June 15, and there we put the Charge
D Gal and the return. There you go. It's good. Here we have Air France
open class, starting, meaning that his son's
ticket will be paid, but he won't be able to
take a seat before June 15. This open segment is valid starting from June
15. Then we continue. I take MRD a junior,
there you go, sir, I finish, I confirm the ticket status.
It's done quickly. There you go. A contact element, at least, I sign. There you go. I register. I see the FXI rate,
how much it will cost. 125,682 I I want to know the exact rate
for the open ticket, so it's open. There you go. It's 83,000, so it's
about two thirds. Okay. I come back. He agrees. What do I do? The payment method is cash. There you go. Very good. It's perfect. There you go. I paid. I normally price it, so we will fall back
on the total rate. I sign to validate the TST, send the rate to the
company. There you go. The TST appears. What
do I have left to do? I transmit the tickets, I sign, and I sign.
There you go. So we have here the
ticket number, ET. Ticket valid on Air France, the amount the father
will have to pay, December 22 is the
day of issuance. The outbound ticket
is on October 1. The open return paid
starting from June 15. There you go. Thank
you very much.
26. Fare Base and Ticket Status, or how to know if a ticket is refundable or exchangeable: We are addressing a new chapter. This chapter concerns
post sales management. We assume that a passenger
who has an electronic ticket, who already has a ticket, who has already
purchased it comes back to you to possibly
request a refund, a cancellation of the ticket, a refund or an exchange. That is, they want to request, for example, a date change, a class change or
a route change, this is called pre
sales management. The first thing to do is to check what is called
the ticket status. Could you please confirm
if this ticket is indeed cancelable,
refundable or not? And is it exchangeable? In this case, you will need
to use the TWD command, which will display
the ticket status, that is the status
of the airline. Is this ticket exchangeable, refundable or
cancelable? Of course. Refundable does not mean
that it is fully refundable. It just means that the status tells us whether
it is refundable. Now, to calculate
the refund penalty, that is the subject
of the next lesson. Let's stay on the status. So to display the status of an electronic
ticket, it's simple. You just need to find your
ticket using the RT command, either by entering
the record number or the booking reference or by name and surname using the
command RT N slash surname. You need to target
the FAPAx line, the line number of the FAPAx
line to know the status, you need to type
the command TWTL and the number of
the OR fapAx line. And there you will see the
ticket status example. In general, we display
the ticket and type TWDL the number of an ENF A. Very important, if the status, as we will see right
away is O or A, it means that this ticket is refundable, cancelable
and exchangeable. On the other hand,
if the status is Z, it means that it
is non cancelable, nonrefundable, non exchangeable. For example, there are also
other possible statuses. For instance, if when we
type WDL, the FA line, the status is L, it means that the passenger
is on board the plane. Another example, if
the status is C, it means that the passenger in question is in the
process of checking in. But what interests us is
that if it is O or A, it means that the ticket is refundable, cancelable,
and changeable. If the status is
Z, in this case, the customer must absolutely use their ticket. Look at this PNR. We have here a PNR for
misses Monica Bertrand. We conducted Z her
search and found the file for Monica
Bertrand. What do we do? We target the FAPAx line which constitutes the
electronic ticket. Here, FAPAx. Here is
the ticket number. E ticket valid Air
France Company, she paid 100 and favo 87. The ticket was issued
on May 1, 2024. The agency that issued it, this is the office ID
of the agency that issued the ticket
and its Aeta number. This is the FAPAx line
corresponding to passenger one, it is the ticket
of passenger one that is Bertrand Monica. The FAPAx line number is eight. In this case, to see if t this E ticket is
refundable, modifiable, or cancelable, we will type TWD 88 which corresponds
to the FAPAx line. Here is an example
of the display. So here for Bertrand Monica, we have the ticket number, the segment, and here we follow the ST column,
which means status. Here, if there is O or A, it means that it
is in open folios, so the person can
possibly cancel, refund or modify their ticket. And we also have to, you will see how we
will see it later. The week basis, the fare basis is an alphabetical
code that will help us calculate the refund penalty or the exchange penalty in
case the client requests it. All we can say here
is that status O is cancelable, refundable,
or modifiable. As we will see in
the next lesson, we will retain the fare basis in order to calculate or assess
the amount we need to take for the penalty
in case the customer requests a refund
or an exchange. Let's do the example right
away on the Amada system. Let's see this example we
have in front of us here. A ticket, a file. This file contains two
people, the couple, Bertrand Jules Mr. And
Bertrand Monica Miss who took a flight on Air France
1924 in Y class on May 12, day number six, which
means Sun Saturday, Rome, terminal one, arrival Heathrow, London, terminal one, HK two. Two passengers, two seats. Here is the confirmed ticket. We have APM mobile phone P one. It's from Mr. Bertrand Gil's
the phone of Bertran Monica. The payment was made by check. Here we have, you notice
well, two lines FA. The first FA line concerns a summary of the ticket
for passenger number one, the one for Bertrand gil and here P two for Bertrand Monica. These are valid tickets
because we have the AND here, and here you have
the company AF, here you have the company
comes to see us and asks if it is possible to change
the departure date or if he can refund the ticket. We will, of course,
look for his file. We can do it easily by
first and last name, Bertrand Jules
Jules. There you go. The entire file appears, his wife will appear with him
because it the same file. It's the gentleman who
is asking me this. Bertrand Jules is
asking if he can refund or possibly change the date or class
for his ticket. We'll check if this is
possible for this fare, and we will retrieve the fare
basis so that we can see in the next lesson how to find out what the penalty might be. In case he requests a refund, in case of no show, in case he requests a date change,
that's the next lesson. All we want to see
now is that Mr. Ticket is Julie's
ticket refundable, exchangeable or not, changeable
or not. So it's Mr.. Jules is the one asking this, I will check the FA line associated with Mr.
Bertrand Jules. This is passenger number one. Here it is P one. Here it is, it's
line ten, FA PAC, the E ticket number, Air
France E ticket, 130 euros. I will request the status
to find out if it is, changeable, refundable or not, I will also retrieve
the fare basis to see later how we will determine the penalty he must bear to exchange or
refund his ticket. So TWD L is Jules FA line. Jules is P one, passenger one, ten, we type L, ten, and here is what
we have Bertrand Jules, sir adult status, and
these are the luggage. Here we have the Air France
1924 segment, Y class, May 12 day six that
summarizes the segment, to hit you, what
do we have here? The fare basis. The fare
basis here is KSSERT. It's not about
understanding the code. No, it's just about remembering. Because each airline
has its own fare basis, for each flight
segment, there are 30 fare bases, 40 fare bases. The main thing is to
remember this later so we can determine any
potential penalties. What is important for
us here is the status. The status is O,
if it is O or A, it means that the
ticket is refundable. Answerable, changeable,
exchangeable. How to do it, it will be
in the following lessons. The main thing
here, we say, sir, you paid 130 bows
18 for the ticket. We inform you that
it is entirely possible to refund the ticket, entirely possible to change it. Now, if you modify
it and refund it, it will be a refund step. Of course, we will
have to calculate. The penalty that he must bear, but this penalty will be calculated based on what
is called the fare basis. The main point for
this lesson is that if for example,
the status was Z, it means that, sir, sorry, we cannot refund you because the ticket is
nonrefundable, non changeable. You must absolutely use it. For example, if we
have the F here flown, which means that this
ticket has been used, it means he has used it. For example, if there is a C, it means that he is in
the process of check in, that this gentleman is in
the process of checking. The most important thing
is if it is status O or A, it means we can refund
it and we can modify it. If the status is Z,
it is non modifiable, non exchangeable. There you go. These are the very
important statuses. I have displayed the status
table for you and you will also find it in the
course PDF that you can, of course, download at home.
There you go. Thank you. I
27. How to consult the fare conditions notion of fare basis: Today we will see
an important course is about fair consultation
and conditions. The goal is to be able to display and know the
potential penalties in case a customer
requests a refund or a change of date,
class or itinerary. To do this, two commands
will need to be used. The first command is
FQD as we will see, followed by the
FQS command, SQN. But remember that this will
depend on the fair basis. The fare basis, I remind you, is displayed when we type
the command, TWDLFA. Let's continue. First case, the first case is
that a customer does not have an
electronic ticket, does not have a PNR, but just wants to inquire
about possible fares from the most expensive to the least expensive for a specific trip. In this specific case, you can type the command FQD, the departure city code. Here it is Rome, the
arrival city code. Here it is Mars A, followed by the airline code, and D for when he wants to
leave, the departure date, so here, the system, as you can see, will
display all possible fares. Here, you have what
are called fare basis. Fair bases are
alphabetical codes that depend on each airline. It is not about memorizing them. Here, you have the one
way fare, departure only. Here, you have the return. And here you have the booking classes from the most expensive to
the least expensive. Here, you have
what is important. For example, let's
take this case, the K family class.
We have returns. It is the cheapest, 75 euros, but there are conditions. Here, you have the dates. The validity dates mean that if the person buys the ticket
between January 1 and June 3, then they will benefit
from this fare. In addition here, you have the conditions on
the length of stay. The person here if
they choose class K. Low fare are four. At mid 75 euros, the cheapest must buy the ticket between
January 1 and June 3, but also the minimum
length of stay is seven days and the maximum
length of stay is 15 days. Suppose the person wants to
benefit from a good fare, but they must stay
more than 15 days. In this case, we see here that the cheapest fare is
class K 84 euros. Here, we have the
maximum duration of this day two months, know that the more
expensive the classes are, the fewer purchase
conditions there are. This is the fare consultation. Now suppose that when
we typed in class TWD, the fare base shows us either P, YCD or Y DZRTT. Suppose it displayed Y DZRTT. For example, it is from there that we request the fair
conditions and penalties. We must type FQN the number of the fare
base for the star line PE. For example, in our case, we assumed it was Y
DZRTT so it will be FQN. So it will be FQ 117 star PE, 17 is the line number
of the fare base, and there you must buckle up because the
text is very long. Here, in summary, the system tells him that in
case of a refund, the passenger will
have a penalty of 25 in case of a refund request. After the departure
date, if you will, the plane has left, a
charge of $26 will apply. Here, for example, if the person requests a
change before departure, there will be a penalty of $20. After departure, there
will be a penalty of $25. Of course, it is important to read the fair
conditions carefully. This is also where you will find the taxes that are refundable and the taxes that are
nonrefundable in case of a change. We will see that in
a future course. Now the second case, if the
person already has a PNR, they come to request
a change or refund. In this case, it's
the same principle only to request the
arrival conditions, you need to type the
command FQD departure city, arrival city code, A next
to the airline letters, D, the departure date, C, the class, and here you
put the issue date. The issue date appears in
the APeX line of the PNR. If you have a round trip,
you just need to type D, the departure date,
star, turn date. Then of course, you type FQN
the number of a line from the fare database
based on what was displayed in the TWD star PE. Let's do an example right
away on the Amadeus system. Here are the steps
for fair consultation to determine the penalties. I will outline the
main steps here, then do the example
in front of you. The first step is to find
the passenger's file, RT with their number
or name and surname. The second step is to
find the fare pass. Is the ticket refundable
exchangeable or not? In this case, we typed TWDL the FA line associated
with the passenger. As we have already seen
earlier, subsequently, if we have at the segment level, whether it is O or A, it means that the ticket is
exchangeable and refundable. After doing TWDSH L, the infraline and
status is O or A, it means that the
ticket is refundable. If the status is AF, it means, as we have already seen, it is a ticket that
has already been used. If the status is,
for example, Z, it means that it is nonrefundable
and non exchangeable. So at this point, there
is no need to continue. It is no longer useful because we want to
see the conditions, the penalties in case of a refund or ticket
exchange request. So if the status is O
and A, we can proceed. Then to determine any
potential penalties, we will type the command FQD. The third step, FQD when we have typed the
command TWD line FA, retrieve the fare basis. Once the fare basis
is retrieved, after hyping the command, as we will see, FQD
with its parameters, we will determine the line
number of the fare basis. And based on this line number, we will type FQN the line
number of the fare basis. All right, start to determine
the penalties. All right. There we will have to read
and inform the client what additional
charges they must pay in case they
request a date change, class change or a
refund request. Let's do a real case,
such as, for example, I have a ticket
from a gentleman, a gentleman comes forward, he tells me, here it is. I already have a ticket, I possibly want to refund it. What are the penalties
that may apply? I type, I pull up his file
either by ticket number, file number, or by label number or by name and surname,
Mr. Eric Jean. So, Mr. Eric Jean, what
do we notice here? Eric Jean, sir, has a
ticket that was issued by Air France in class on
August 12 day number three, which is Wednesday, Charles
de Gol terminal one, Rome, arrival in Rome, terminal one, ticket confirm. I look at Line F Apax, the E ticket number, that's it, and the record
number, that's it. Ticket number, and
there I have ETAF. When I have the ETE ticket, it means that the
ticket is valid, that it has not
been used at all. He paid 258 euros. He paid for the ticket,
the ticket was issued. He paid for his ticket
on 29 euros 2024. This is what we call
the issue date. That is the departure
date August 12, but he bought the
ticket on April 29. The agency's office ID, so it's an agency and Nie there. We can see it clearly.
The agency's IATA number, the fare concerning
segment two, there you go. For passenger number one, we will check at the
departure whether the ticket is refundable
or exchangeable. For that, we type the command TWDL the FA line
of the passenger. On Eric passenger one,
Faine's line eight. What do we notice? We will
look for the segment. Here it is Air France, the Y, all high, et cetera. Here we have the low fare. There you go. TWD is used
to retrieve the low fare. The low fare is Y D ZRTT
and the status is O. As long as the status
is O, it means sir. We can already tell him that the ticket is refundable
and exchangeable. Now he will tell us what the penalties are if I refund
or exchange my ticket. Status O is possible. The low fare Y D ZR TT. What do I do? I go back to my file and request
the fair consultation. If QD, the FQD date, I take the segment
on which itinerary, Charles the Gol to Rome. D, I put the departure date. Departure date is August 12. Fair consultation for August 12, Charles the Gal Rome. With which airline A, the airline AF, each airline
has its own penalties. And there I advise you to add the class because he wants
to stay in the same class. He wants to ask for
the fair conditions in case of a refund or exchange. Regarding class Y here, very important
mandatory, we must provide R when he
purchased his ticket. He bought the ticket
on April 29, 2024. He paid for his
ticket on April 29. April 29, 2024, and
there you go, indeed. Here we have all the fare
bases with their line numbers. TWD, we had retrieved
the fare base, which was Y DzRTsZRT, is that? So it's a fair base
12, retrieve line 12. Here, I am asking for the
penalties for this fair base. Q and 12, line number
of the fair base. Star, I am asking for penalties, PE. There you go. So here, there is a whole text
that should be displayed. You need to scroll, or
you can go down with MD, MD, move down, move
down, move down. You can go down
either like this, MD, or you can scroll. And there, you need
to scroll until you get to C. So there,
what do we say? There you go, sir. At any
time if you request a refund, we will take a penalty of you are subject to
a pit of 25 euros. In case you request a refund
after the departure date, it means you did not leave and you came to
request a refund, you will be charged 26 euros. Now we can also tell
him, well, listen, sir, if you want to change the date, the first change is free. For other changes
before departure, you will be subject to
a penalty of 20 euros. After departure, you will be subject to a
penalty of 25 euros. We must say, of
course, like here, foreign funds permitted before departure in case of
objection to visa. This means that if you
show that you have, in the case of a
visa application that the visa was refused, we can fully refund you without charge in case of
a justified visa rejection. Of course. Here, you are required to read the
pricing conditions in order to determine the
penalties in case of a refund or of an exchange. That is an evaluation or
a reissue. There you go. I
28. - After sales how to cancel a ticket already issued: In After sales management, we will explore today how we can step by step,
cancel a ticket. The first thing we
will look at is what the specific conditions are that allow us to
cancel a ticket. This will firstly
depend on the airlines. How to cancel a ticket
on the same day. This case, the passenger must be fully refunded after canceling, how to check that the ticket has been successfully canceled. And finally, how to check the status of the
electronic ticket. Please note that cancellations can only be made on the
same day of issuance. When a customer
has paid on day X, we can only cancel
on the same day. However, some airlines accept cancellations while
others do not. So in this case, what do you need to
do to check if the airline you issued the ticket
with accepts cancellations. You just need to type ETT XX and here you put
the airline code. For example, for Airfrance, you put He ETTF. This is how the system will
respond to you in the end, it tells you that for
Airfrance the code is 159. In this case, to check if
cancellations are allowed, you just need to type MS 159. Code that appears here. Does Air France accept
cancellations or not? Here you have void Y,
exchange, reissue, yes. This means that a ticket
to France can be canceled. Now, the main
condition, be careful. This is not a case of refund because there may be
penalties for a refund. You can cancel a ticket provided that it was
issued on the same day. This means, for example, if a customer paid for their
ticket in the morning, it can be canceled in the
afternoon, the same day. The next day, it becomes another case that we
will address later. It is a case of
refund, of course. It is also necessary to check that the airline
accepts cancellations. The ticket issuance date
appears in the FAPAX line of the PNR so it can only be
canceled on the same date. So here are the main
steps to cancel a ticket. If the conditions
mentioned earlier are met, search for the ticket with RT. Check the ticket status, which is TWD L in the FA line. If the status is O or A, we can cancel the ticket
to cancel the ticket. Use the command TRDC L and
the FAPAX line number. Then you type IR to confirm the cancellation,
and of course. At the FAPAx line, the slash will be replaced
by slash EV for the airline, which means etiquette void. It is a ticket that has been
canceled, and of course, right after the
segments will need to be deleted to free them
up for the airline. Either with XI, we cancel all segments or XI
segment by segment. We sign and save to check the status that it is really
void and has been canceled, we just need to type TWD SHL the line number FA and we will see that the status
has changed from O to V. Let's do an example
with the Amadeus system. In the example of
the cancellation, let's suppose that miss
Bertrand Monica comes to my agency and that she bought
a ticket that very morning. I need to find her file. I don't have her file number, so I take her first
and last name. Art Bertrand Monica for
additional information. There, the system shows me that only Bertrand Monica
has two files. He has an old
reservation. I see. I choose, I choose,
I choose I choose, I can choose the
first or the second. I will check one or two, which is the ticket so I can type RT one or RT file number. It's all good. I check with her. It's the Air France ticket, 1924, May 12, Rome, London. Two seats, she was
with her husband. Do we notice here that Mr. TronjulPassenger one P one
corresponds to his line FA. Here we have the
E ticket number. Bertrand Monica
is passenger two. The FA line is two P two, passenger two, it's line 11. Let's assume that Monica
no longer wants to depart. Want to cancel her
ticket only, not Jules. Monica is passenger two. Therefore, I need to
cancel this FAPAx line. I may need to fully
refund her 130 euros. But what is the condition? The condition is that
the ticket was issued. The issue date is reversed
2024. It's the same day. If she comes another day, it will be a refund case. Here, we assume that she
bought the ticket on May 1 and came to
cancel it on May 1. It's a cancellation case. I assume that the
Air France company, as I have already specified,
allows cancellations. I see the ticket
status at the start. Does it allow
cancellations itself? The status is TWD TWD. Slash the FA line. Monica because Jewel
still wants to leave. Monica is passenger 22p2,
so it's the FA line. It's 11. L 11 to
check the status. What do we notice here
that the status is O, which means open for use, it's a cancelable modifiable
exchangeable ticket. All right. I can
cancel her ticket, go back to the file, and now
I will cancel her ticket. I refund her 130 euros 18, and what did I do to cancel
the ticket, TRDCeleVn. Check here that the
status is tough. E ticket, IT, which
means valid E ticket. A France. I will cancel. Look, the system tells me the
document has been canceled. Press IR to confirm, I type IR to confirm the ticket. What do I notice that the FA line has
changed from ET to EV. E ticket void. I sign with the signature that Amadeus
gave me and I save. But before actually
closing the file, here in this specific case, I do not delete the segment. Why? Because Jules
always has a seat. But if I want to
delete the segments, I just have to type X E and the segment number
three in case there was only one passenger
or I type XI to cancel to free all the
segments for the airline. Then I saved it. I can
always check the status. Let's try to see
Monica's status. Monica, it's 2p2l
11, the status. What do we notice? The
status change from O, usable to V, void ticket. I can also show
you the status to show you the Juul
status, passenger one, line FA number ten, ten, I see that Mr. Jules'
ticket is still valid. There you go. Don't forget that here, we have
two passengers. It's not about deleting five
edges because we have two, but if there was
only one passenger, then we free the segment with
X or X, and there you go.
29. - After sales condition and process of full refund with Amadeus Ticket Changer ATC: Today, we will address
the full refund in ATC using the Amadeus
ticket hanger tool. Call this the complete
refund, but automated. We will explain this.
When a customer has purchased a ticket from you, they may come two
or three days later to request their refund. Is it possible to fully
refund the ticket? For this Bs? We will use a tool
provided by Amadeus. We will now look at the
advantages and disadvantages, but how to make a full refund? That is a complete refund. The first thing to look at is, as we will see with an example, we need to check
the ticket status. Is it refundable or not
using the TWD command. Next, how to process the refund? That is, how to calculate the amount to be
refunded to the customer, a refund penalty may be
required, and in the end, we will recheck
the ticket status, confirming that it is a ticket that has already been refunded. So Amado stick and charger called ATC is a
software tool that allows for the automatic
and quick calculation of the refund amount for
an electronic ticket. To take advantage of
this possibility, Amadeus ATC, the agency must subscribe to a membership with the Amadeus organization
in its country. The benefits are as follows. The processing of
the refund is quick. It is done very rapidly, and the displayed refund amount is the responsibility of
the Amadeus organization. The agency has no
responsibility. There is no risk of error. And precisely, unlike what we will see for the full
refund, but manually, without using the ATC tool, there will be no risk
of financial adjustment from the airline to the agency. The disadvantage is
that to use the ATC, it is a paid subscription
service with a Mads. How do we process a refund now? The steps are as follows. Of course, we will
immediately do an example. So the first thing is that the client comes to you
and requests a refund. Therefore, the first thing is to find their file by the order RT file number or RT their
last name, first name. Then depending on the display, you need to target
the FA line number of the passenger to be refunded
because in the file, you have three passengers
and only one wants a refund. The example will be clearer. Next, once you have targeted
the FA line number, need to check the ticket status. That is whether it is a
refundable ticket or not. To do this, you need to type the command TWDL and the FA line number, the
passenger in question. In general, as we saw
in the previous lesson, if the status
displayed is O or A, it means that the
ticket is refundable. There will be penalties, that's for sure, but it is refundable. If it is Z, on the other hand, it is a nonrefundable ticket. In this case, you will
need to tell the customer, cannot refund you because
this ticket is nonrefundable. Assuming we have the status O or A, the ticket is applied. You need to type the automatic
refund command, TRF. Which means refund. You
request a full refund total. Line F has passengers to refund
and you request the ATC. This assumes that you are
subscribed to Amadeus ATC. The amount to be refunded will be displayed
on the last line. F has the amount. This is what you need to
refund to the client. In this specific case, if the client
accepts this amount, you must validate the refund
with the command TRFP. Front process
message will appear. In this case, you then sign with your signature and
save with ER or ET. If on the other hand,
when you type TRF, request a full
refund L line FA ATC and the refund amount does
not satisfy the client, the client decides to use
the ticket themselves. In this case, to stop
the refund process, instead of typing TRFP, you type TRFIC and you
close the file with IG. Let's do an example right away. Let's process the
refund immediately. It is a full refund of a ticket that has
already been issued. Let's suppose that miss
Bertrand Monica comes back, presents herself at
my desk and says, Here, I bought a
ticket from you. Is it possible to refund it? In this case, what will
be the refund amount? I ask her for her
ticket and I find the file number RT 844 33. We have her file here.
We notice that it is miss Bertrand Monica.
She took a flight. On April 17, Charles De Gul
Richelieu ticket confirmed. We notice here that her ticket was purchased for 105 euros. This is the FA line I mentioned. How do we know that our FA corresponds to misses
Bertrand Monica? Here, it makes sense because
there is only one passenger. I am told that this ticket
concerns passenger number one, Bertrand Monica for
segment number two. Here it is the segment. April 17, Charles
Dugal terminal one, arrival, radio, terminal one. It is a ticket that is FAPax.
This is the ticket number. The ticket number is
not the file number. The file number is here. This is the E ticket number
ET ET means valid E ticket. She paid for her
ticket 1o587 euros. She is asking me if
I can refund it. The first thing to do is to
find her file as we just did. Here it is the FA line eight. It is line eight that
corresponds to passenger one. What do we do to check
the ticket status? TWD L and eight,
the Byline number. The number that is
there and we notice here so we can see that it is Bertran Monica adult.
T is the status. We can see that here,
the status is O, meaning open for use. So we tell her miss
Bertrand Monica, you can definitely
refund your ticket. Now she is asking me to
proceed with the refund. But for that, I go back to the file with
RT and the Infra line, which is an eight and I request the complete
refund process with ATC using Amadeus ticket hanger for which you
have subscribed. So refund request, it's TRF, RF stands for refund. What are we going to refund? Line eight FA, how are we going to refund
everything full? The next course is
the partial refund. This is when, for
example, someone takes a round trip and wants to refund only the return or
only the outbound here. It is about refunding everything
there when we put ATC, it means we are going to use our Amazon secret
Charger subscription, which will calculate
the amount we need to refund by itself
and we validate. We tell her. So the
last line FP cash, it means we tell her,
here is the ticket you need to refund 66.87 euros. She bought it for 108
euros, I remind you. Here, we have the penalty. The penalty is 28 euros. It is already displayed. Now you have a
penalty of 28 euros and we can refund
you 66.87 euros. If the lady or the passenger
accepts the refund, we will validate it by TRFP. If on the other hand,
she refuses the refund, she believes that
it is not enough refunded and she says that she
prefers to use her ticket. In this case, you
cancel by TRF IG. When you step TRF IG, the ticket will remain the same. You close the file with IG. Here, we assume that the lady or the passenger
accepts the refund. This point, we refund
her 66.87 euros. I point out to you here
that we did nothing. It is ATC that
calculated the refund. You have no responsibility
in this matter. Therefore, we
validate the refund with TRFP what do we notice? The message appears,
the ticket cord, modified record, refund, the
refund has been processed. But what do we notice here? The FA line, it was the
tickets, and we are here. Instead of having a slash ET, we have a slash ER, which means E ticket refunded. This means that this
ticket has been refunded. What do we have left to do? To sign with the signature that Amadeus gave us and to
record with ER or with ET. To conclude, we
can see the status of the ticket. Have a status. It is always TWD
slash the Line FA, so Line eight so it was at O. Now, what do we notice? Look, it has become
R, meaning refunded. It is a ticket that has been refunded. I return to my file. I just have to close the file to process another passenger. The next lesson will
be about refunds still with ATC, but partially. That is to say, if someone
buys three or four segments, round trips and all that, how do we refund just
part of the ticket? There you go. Thank you.
30. - After sales, condition and process of full refund manually: What we're doing today is how
to process a full refund, meaning fully refunding a
ticket at a customer's request. We're going to use
the manual method. We're going to present
the manual method here. The advantage of the
manual method is that unlike Amadeas
ticket changer support, you don't have to pay any extra to your Amada
subscription. But the downside is that the
refund process is long and tedious because you have to calculate the amount to
be refunded yourself. You need to check if there
are any refund penalties, if there are
nonrefundable taxes, and you have to
apply them yourself. If there's a mistake
in the refund amount, you could face a financial
adjustment from the airline. You need to check if there
are any refund penalties, if there are
nonrefundable taxes, and you have to
apply them yourself. If there is an error
in the refund amount, you may be subject to financial
redress from the company. How do you process
a refund manually? We have an example here.
We have Mr. Eric Bertrand, who has a flight on Iberia 30 70 in class Y on September 30, which is day seven,
meaning Sunday, departure from
Madrid, terminal one, arrival in London, terminal one. Here we notice that the payment was made in cash and we have the FPAx line that groups the information of the
electronic ticket. I remind you that the
series of numbers following the FPAX indicates
the E ticket number is issued by the airline Iberia, and that means E ticket in use. It's open for use.
We can use it. Okay, he paid 626 euros. And here you have
the issue date. When was the ticket issued?
When was it purchased? The ticket was
issued on August 30, 2024 for departure in September. That's the departure
date. And that's the issue date that
appears in the F one line. I remind you that an F Apax here concerns
passenger one P one, P one, that's Mr. Eric Bertrand. So the first thing to check, in case there's a request for a full refund is whether this ticket is refundable
by the airline. The first thing is to target the FA line of the passenger. K one, Mr. Eric Bertrand, the FA line, that's line eight. To check the status, whether
it's refundable or not, you need to type TWD L, the number of an
FA, which is L A. Here's the system shows us. What we need to
check is the status. At the end, the line
concerns the status. Here, if you have ORA, it means that this
ticket is refundable. If you have, for example, the status Z, it means that
the ticket is nonrefundable. For example, let's
assume we have status O, so the ticket is refundable. But since it's done manually, we absolutely need to
retrieve the base we call the fare basis,
the fare basis. It's an alphabetical code. Each airline has
its own fare codes. There's no point in memorizing
the main thing to remember is that this ticket
is refundable and its fair basis is YZRTT. You'll see that we'll
need it to assess any potential refund penalties where there are taxes that
are nonrefundable or not. The client, I remind
you paid 626 euros. That shows up in the list. So now what do we do? We need to look at what's called
the fair conditions. Why are we doing
this to actually list what the refund
penalty amount is, whether there are
refundable taxes or not. So to display the
fair conditions, it's a process we've
already covered. So it's FQD, the departure city, the arrival city, D, the departure date
of the flight, of course, A, the
airline and be careful. That's mandatory
because each airline has its own fare codes and its own fair conditions
and the issue date. I remind you that the
issue date appears in the FA line as we see here. It's August 3, the ticket
was purchased on August 3, 2024, and it was
issued on August 3, 2024, so we're doing it. For our example, so it
will be FQD Mad, Madrid, London, starting September
30 with Iberia Airlines, ticket issued on August 3. Here we have everything
that shows up on the board. It displays all the fare bases, O, FRT, et cetera. These are the one way fares, and these are the
round trip fares from class F to class A. As I remind you, go back to my lesson on fair
conditions here. What matters to us here is
to assess the amount of the refund penalty and whether there are any
nonrefundable taxes. So I remind you
that in our case, we found that the TWD displayed
the fare basis, Y DZRTT. In the end, what's the point of retrieving the fare basis? It's just to get
the line number. Here it's 12. If we had a fair basis of SED,
it would be line six. So we retrieve the line
number of the fare basis. In our case, it's 12, and that's when we can
ask the system to show us the potential refund penalties and what the
nonrefundable taxes are. So thanks to that,
here's a reminder. YD ZRT RTT, it's in
line 12 in the FQD. To display the refund penalties and possibly the
nonrefundable taxes, you need to type FQN the line number from
the FQD so 12 star PE, we're going to do it now. In our case, it will
be FQN 12 star PE, and what is the system going
to show us? There you go. Here, I remind you that you need to scroll because the
text is quite long. Each airline has its
own fair conditions. You have to read
and read carefully. So here we're going
to read what's displayed. What do
we notice here? Anytime the system
tells us for refunds, in case of a refund, the
YQ tax is nonrefundable. So first off, the first
piece of information, it might show us the YU tax, the IO tax, refundable tax. In our case here, we have a
tax that is nonrefundable, and what does the
system tell us as well? In case of a refund request, we have to charge the
customer 25 euros. We have to take off 25 euros, a penalty of 25
euros for refunds before the departure
date because next to it, there's all of a no show. That means if there's
a refund request after the departure
date of the trip, in that case, we have to
charge them 26 euros. I remind you that these numbers change depending on the flights, the airlines, and of
course, the segments. In our case, we have a tax
that we shouldn't refund, and let's assume the
customer requested a refund before the
departure date, so we have to charge
them 25 euros. That's the moment when we can
start the refund process. Everything that was done before was just to calculate
the penalty, to assess to know
the refund penalty, and to identify the tax or
taxes that are nonrefundable. So to start the refund process, you do TRFL a line. In our case, it
will be TRFLeight. Here we have a
summary of his fare. So before tax, the
gentleman paid 483 euros. The taxes were 143 21 euros
and he paid 626.89 euros. The customer requested a refund. It's authorized by DWSHLight, now we need to calculate the
amount we can refund him. First case, we need to start by applying
the penalty amount. To apply penalty amount
we saw on the FQN, I remind you it was 25. So what do we do DFU CP, here the penalty amount
in our case is G 25 A. In our case, it's TRU, U stands for update CP 25 A. That means we're going
to take 25 euros off the 626 euros. The system is going to calculate and there you go for now. We need to refund
him six oh one a, and a line has been added. The line we put in ourselves, the penalty of 25 euros. Now there's a problem. There's a tax that
is nonrefundable. What does the system
tell us here? It will be displayed. We're
told that the total amount of taxes he paid is 143.21 euros. We absolutely need to display
the tax mask with TRFD. When you type TRFD, here's what will be displayed. You have a summary,
total tax he paid, onedom 43, and that's
all the taxes. We have IO, YQ, JD, QV. You can have several
to ten or 15 or 20. It depends on the trip,
the segment, the airline. But the FQN told us that the
YQ tax is nonrefundable. So we absolutely must
not refund him this tax. So for that, we need
to remove this tax. What do we use to
remove that tax? With always TRF but
TX, the tax number, in this case, the tax number for the RQ tax is T
two. What do we do? It would be TRF Tx two. There you go. The
taxes we need to refund him are the IOJDQV tax. Here they are and
the total amount of taxes we can refund
him is 112 euros. The taxes to be refunded
are 112 euros to summarize. Refund amount is what he
originally paid 626.80 90 -20 50 for the refund
penalty -30.81 arrow. If there were other
taxes to remove, it would always be
TRFU STH TX one, TH TX, et cetera. The amount to be
refunded is 571.80. If the customer
accepts the amount, you need to validate
it with TRFP. Otherwise, you type TRFIG, meaning if the customer
doesn't accept the amount and if you want to return the
ticket to how it was, it will be TRFIG you'll
cancel the refund process. Just a reminder, it's TurfIg If the customer accepts so here's what happens when you type
TRFP, notice what happens. The FAPAC line is
a transformation. We went from a state
ET to a state ER. We had ET, which
means valid E ticket. Now we have E ticket refunded, which means that the airline Iberia has refunded the ticket, and the refund amount
appears in the FA line. 571.08 euros for
passenger number one. So we notice that line eight, the IBO status has changed
to E ticket refunded. The amount you refund to
the customer, of course, He needs to sign a document stating that you've
refunded him, that amount, and that's
what's left to do. Since we've refunded the
ticket, I'm coming back here. We absolutely need to release the segment because
it's no longer ours. We need to return it to
the airlines so they can make it available
for other passengers. So we're here and we absolutely need to
remove the segment. We delete the
reservation with X or X E. Line two, and so on. There you go, then you
save it with ER or ET. Here's the ticket.
As it appears, there are no more segments, the ticket has been refunded. The refund process is complete. We're going to do an example right now, but
with a round trip. How do you fully
refund a round trip? That means there are two dates, the outbound and return dates manually. Thank you very much. All right. Going to do a
full manual refund example. Unlike the ATC, which is much simpler because
it's the Amado stick exchanger that
automatically calculates the refund amount to be
given back to the customer. So we have here an E ticket. The person, the passenger is Mr. Cetafreda. He has two segments. One segment is on September 12, from Charles De Gol to
Brussels with Air France. A return from Brussels to Charles De Gol with Air
France on September 20. The ticket is confirmed.
Everything is clear here. The payment method is cash. Here we have a record
of the ticket. FAPEx refers to, as we've already seen, the
record of the ticket. Here we have the
E ticket number. ET means E ticket in use. Air France, the amount
that was paid is 998 euros, the issue date. When the ticket was
created, July 31, 2024, the agency's office ID, the agency's status
code, the payment. This ticket concerns
passenger one. That is Mr. Catafreda. This payment concerns
segments two and three. Here we have the SR Doc, which concerns the passenger
document of the client. Meaning, it's a French
passport, the passport number, country France, the
passenger's date of birth, mail, the passport
expiration date. Of course, that's the SR Docs. Let's say this
customer came back two or three days later and asked for a full
refund of his ticket. The first thing to
do is to see if this ticket this E ticket, if the airline accepts refunds. For that, we need to
check the status. TWTWD and we look at
the passengers FA line. Tavred Doc position
Bin here we see P one, so that concerns the ticket. That's the ticket. TTWD, I'm asking for the status
of the FA line. Line nine I confirm, here we have we
need to retrieve, as we've already
mentioned, two things. The first thing is the status
for outbound and open. For the return, it's open, which means open for use, it doesn't mean fully open. That means this ticket in the end is refundable
and changeable. Now, are there any
penalties or not? We'll see that right away. But anyway, it's refundable. What did we say? We're going
to keep the fare basis. We have to do it because
we're doing it manually. Automatically, it's Amadeus
that takes care of that. The fare basis is KZ ZRT for
both outbound and return. The segment, of course,
the ticket is refundable. We're going back to
the PNR and here. We're going to try to display the fair conditions to see
what the refund penalty might be and what taxes might
be nonrefundable. To do this, we refer
to the fair conditions FQD then we enter
the departure city, the street for departure,
Charles De Gaul, Brussels. Right after that, we put the
departure date. Be careful. The departure date is
September 12, September 12. But here we clearly notice
that we have a return, so to say that this ticket will refund the whole ticket,
we need to say star. There you go star
and the return date, we need to say the return
date is September 20. If we had a one way ticket, we would just put September 12, then who issued this ticket? It's mandatory, it's the airline because each airline
has its own fares, its own fare conditions, so AF next, we have to provide
when this ticket was issued, the issue date. The issue date appears
in the PAPAx line. It's right there after the fair. This ticket was issued
on July 31, 2024. We're putting July 31,
2024 card, so we're at 31. We put issue date, July 31 2024. Now we're going to display
the fair conditions. Here we have all the
fares class F to class A. Now, to possibly show
what the refund penalty is and whether there are
any nonrefundable taxes, we had noted the fair basis. When we type TWD, the fair basis is KZRT. We keep the fair basis just
to retrieve the line number, the fare basis is KZRT
which is line 17. We're asking for the fair
conditions for line 17, the penalties for line 17. FQN line 17 start PE, and there you go here, absolutely have to scroll
and read everything. And sometimes the
text is really long. Every time the text is different depending
on the airlines. We're going to search here
and what do we notice? We have anytime refund
charge 25 euros. That means we have to
charge the passenger 25 euros if they
request a refund. Here, no show means
in case here, the refund is if the
customer requests a refund before their
departure date here, no show means that they didn't leave and they're
asking for a refund. In this case, we need to
check the departure date. So let's assume
they requested it. For the departure date, so we have to charge them 25 euros. But what do we
notice here as well? For refunds, it tells us that the YQ tax is nonrefundable. He has a penalty of 25 euros and the YQ tax is nonrefundable. From there, we go
back to the file, and of course, we're going to start the refund process now. So TRF pun, what
are we refunding? We're refunding this ticket. E N in manual. There you go. We have a summary, we call it the refund mask. It gives us a bit of a
summary of the ticket, the fare before tax, the taxes he paid, and the
total payment he made. From that, we're going to
apply a penalty of 25 euros, TRFU which comes update
CP for the penalty, 25 A A, which stands for amount. Notice here, the fare mask, we're going to
apply the penalty. It's definitely a mistake, so it's TRUCP 25 A. It's not RFU, it's TRFU.
There you go. Very good. What do we notice here that
there was 988 euros here, and for now we
need to refund him 973 euros, but
we're not done yet. Here, notice that the penalty
has been applied 25 euros. Here, it wasn't. All right. So there was also a tax
that was nonrefundable. For that, we need to
display the tax mask. Look here, the system
tells you if you want to display all the
taxes that were applied, you just have to type
TRFT and there you go. He paid 228 euros in
taxes for his ticket. And there were four taxes, tax one I O, tax two Y Q, tax three JD, and tax four QV. The system informed us the YQtax isn't refundable due to the issuing
country and airline. Remove it with TX two, refund 169 euros, not 128 euros, penalty applied, tax removed, validate refund with TRFP, we absolutely have
to remove this tax. In this case, TRFU the
tax number is that one, the Y tax, so Tx two. TX is for removing a tax, it's tax two, so Tx two. And there you go. The
tax mask is updated. In the end, we're not refunding
the taxes of 128 euros. We're refunding him 169 euros in taxes, that's for the taxes. In the end, we applied the
penalty and remove the tax. Now, to validate the refund, we type TRFP and there you go. Now, to validate the refund, we type TRFP and there you go. What do you notice?
The system tells me, a little record of
the foot being okay. The refund process
has been completed. We sign and we record. And in the end, what
do we notice here? Here's the amount
you need to refund, 924 euros, 924 euros, and we notice that ET E ticket has been replaced by
E ticket refunded. That means it's a ticket
that has been refunded. The refund amount was 924
euros because we charged our customers 25 euros and we applied a tax that
was nonrefundable. That means it's a ticket
that has been refunded. The refund amount was 924
euros because we charged our customers 25 euros and applied a tax that
was nonrefundable. It's not over. From the moment, we can see here if you want
the status of this ticket. I can type WDL nine. And what do we
notice? There you go. The ticket has been which means that those segments
have been refunded. Let's get back to the file. Since we've refunded
the customer, we need to release the seats. We booked an Air France
seat on September 12, from Charles De Gol to
Brussels and a return from Brussels to Charles
De Gol on September 20. We've refunded everything, so we need to release the seats, which means removing
all the segments. We do that, Vx. Do you want
to cancel this reservation? Yes. And what do you notice? We've released the segments, we've given them back
to the airlines so they can actually offer them
to other passengers. We sign, once again, of course, it's mandatory and we record it. Don't forget that
the file stays in the Amadeo system because
it's an accounting record, which means there was a
payment of certain amounts, and of course, there's
a refund of 924 euros. Chats. There you go. I hope I was clear about
the manual refund. It's a bit long, that's normal. But the advantage is that
you don't have to pay an Amada surcharge for the ATC. But the thing is, you're responsible for these
entries, for example, if instead of doing
tier few CP 25 A, you mistakenly do 35 A, you might not
realize the mistake. Of course, you'll face an adjustment from
the airline later on. There you go. Thank
you very much.
31. - After sales how to proceed to a partial refund with Amadeus ticket changer: A still in the case
of refunds with ATC, Amadas ticket hanger,
today we will see how to partially refund
an electronic ticket. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the
step by step process. That means a customer had, for example, a
round trip ticket. They use their outbound
flight and just want to refund the
return or vice versa. What we're going to look
at is how to process the refund for the unused
segment by the customer. First, checking if the
partial refund status is authorized by the airline, how to automatically calculate the refund amount
for the customer, and of course, how to
handle the refund with, let's say, a guide. Now, let's take the
following example. Let's say we're looking
for a file as usual, by RT file number or
by the file reference or by art RTs LastName
slash firstName. Let's take the
following example. Let's say we're looking
for a file as usual, by art file number or by
the file reference or by art art lastName first name. Here we have an
example, Rt Steven A. We're displaying the PNR file, the reservation for the customer Stephen Al we notice here that Mr. Stephen
Hall has two segments, segment number two and
segment number three. Segment number two is Air
France 20 306 on October 12, which is day number three,
meaning a Wednesday. Madrid, departure from
Madrid terminal one, arrival in Rome, terminal one. And of course, we
notice here that the status is F,
which means flown. That means this customer
has used this ticket. They have utilized
it, and he already had return Segment three, still with Air
France on August 20, the return from Rome to Madrid. The status is still K one, which means he hasn't
used the ticket yet and the customer is
requesting a refund for this segment only. This isn't a full refund,
it's a partial refund. So we're going to look at
the client's FATAx lines. We can see that it's P one passenger one segments
two and three. He paid 645 49 and here's
the ticket number. The first thing we're
going to check, as we usually do is whether
a partial refund is allowed. I'm going back to
the first page. What do we notice that the F one line
number is line nine? Find out the status, whether
it's refundable or not, we just need to type TWTHL
the client's FAPAC line, which in this case is line one to nine, what do we notice? What's showing up? Here it
is the status of the ticket. For segment one, there it is. The status is F, so loan, which means he has used it. We notice that second segment is 00 or A, that means the airline. Allows a refund for
this segment only. If it was AZ, it
wouldn't be allowed. Here we have the amount
the customer paid, which is the amount for the
outbound and return trip. Now, let's proceed with
the automatic refund. Just a reminder, this is with
ATC Amadeus Ticket Changer. That means the
Amadeus company will automatically
calculate the refund to be made for the customer. So you need to do
TRF slash bonds and you put the unused
unconsumed segment here. In this case, for us,
it was segment three L, the F line of the passenger, in this case, for example, line nine, and we request
the application of ATC. We can switch Ns. That's not a problem.
For our example, we're requesting a
reinforcement of line nine, segment three only
with an ATC payment, and now what are
we going to see? All the calculations
will be done automatically he paid
before tax is 4088 euros. What he used before
tax is 289 euros. What we've refunded is
289 euros before tax, the penalty of 20 euros, which is applied for
the refund, et cetera. All we need to look at
is right here, L pastas. That's the amount of
the refund we need to give back to the
customer. There it is. It's displayed on the last line. Here, it's the amount
he paid in cash, so we need to
refund him in cash. If the customer
accepts that amount, we refund him and then
what do we need to do? To validate the refund, we need to write TRFP. Here's the system's response. Okay, a ticket, record updated, the refund has been processed. It has been sent to Amadeus
and to the airline. Next, you need to release segment three since
it has been refunded. To do that, you have to delete the segment using the command
we've already seen X. You'll notice the second
segment has disappeared. There's just the first
segment that he used with AirFnce. You
need to finish up. By signing with the
signature that Amadeus provided you and then you
save it with ER or ET. We're doing an example
with the Amadeus system. Let's do the example
of a partial refund, meaning an unused segment. So here comes misses Luka
in to me and says, Look, I bought a ticket from you and I used the ticket
for the outbound trip, and I actually need to get
a refund for the return. So let's take a look
at her e ticket here. Specifically. We can see
that she has two segments, Segment two and Segment three. Segment two, we can
clearly see that it's class L on August 12, day number four,
which is Thursday, she departed from Charles
De Gul terminal one. She arrives at John
Fitzgerald Kennedy, New York, Terminal one. We notice here
there's the letter, which means that she
has used this segment. It has been used and we can clearly see the
second segment, the return. We can see that it is indeed
the return on August 20, Dak as well from John Fitzgerald Kennedy
to Charles De Gal, HK one, a ticket that
she can still use. So she's requesting the refund
for segment number three. So the first thing to do
is to check the status. Is this ticket refundable? So the ticket, just a reminder. But the ticket summary is in line F APAC. We can
clearly see that. We can clearly see the
end, it's passenger one. This fare in Euros is 938
euros, passenger one. That is misses Lucalin. Okay? She paid 938 euros
for segments two and three. We can clearly see. S two
and S three, there they are. And this ticket, FAPAX there it is. That's
the ticket number. It concerns passenger
one, which is Lukalon. So what does she want to refund? She wants to refund that ticket. Refund, what are we
going to refund? Line ten. But what are
we asking for a refund? We're requesting a refund
for segment three. Segment three, that is this one because this one has been used, but I advise you
before doing that to check if the
ticket is refundable. So it's TWD to
check the statuses. TWD the ticket. That's it. L ten. And there we'll have
a summary of the ticket. What do we notice here? The
first segment, there it is. Its status is F flown, which means it has been used, and the return, there it is. It's in status O, okay? So we go back to the ticket,
so it is refundable. Since it is indeed refundable, this segment is refundable. So we're requesting the refund
for segment number three. What are we going to refund? TRF, that ticket there where
the price is indicated. L, line ten, Line
FA, there it is. What are we asking to refund? The segment that
hasn't been used, so the segment number
is three, so segment. A three. Of course, we're not going to
do this manually. We're asking ATC Amadeus
ticket changer to automatically calculate the refund amount
for this segment. That is for the return from
John Fitzgerald Kennedy to Charles De Gol I'M calling
on Amadeus ticket hanger. What are we being told here? We're being told that she
paid 724 euros excluding tax, that she used 362
euros excluding tax, 724 euros, that she
used 362 euros. We're going to refund it
excluding tax 362.18 euros. But as you can see here,
there's a penalty of 20 euros. And the taxes we need
to fund her are 107. Here, the amount to be
refunded is 149 euros. If the lady agrees
to this refund, we are going to validate it with TRFP if she doesn't
agree, Tafic. But Notice that if he comes
after the return ticket date, it won't be worth it anymore. He will have to
refund. To refund to validate this refund, we refund her that amount and
we validate it with TRFP. So we can already notice
that the system is indicating here that it's a ticket that has been refunded. The status has changed from status and valid ticket to stir. What do we have left
to do? Please sign and save, and there you go. It's done. The refund
process is complete. We refund it. Return. All right, thank you and see you
in the next class.
32. - How to proceed to a revalidation in case of exchange of date or itinerary: So we're going to
start Section seven. In this video, Section
seven essentially focuses on when passengers or a passenger have
already had a ticket, an E ticket, and they come
back for a certain change. The requested change could
be a change of date, a change of time or a
change of itinerary. Here, we will be looking at two possible cases what is revalidation and
what is reissuing? In this session,
we're going to be discussing the process of
revalidation in this course. Specifically, when exactly can we revalidate an
electronic ticket? When a passenger who already has an E ticket requests
a change in date, time, or itinerary, such as if no extra fare is
required for that change. We will explore how to do
it through the airline. Then we are in a case
of revalidation. In this situation,
it is determined that the process of
revalidation is necessary. The passenger thus keeps
the same ticket number. It's not a new ticket,
it's the same ticket, but with a change in
date, time or itinerary. So if indeed, after checking
the fare conditions, as we've already seen
in previous lessons, we'll look at examples now
with FQD and FQNF instance, if no extra fare is required, we're in a case of revalidation. The customer thus keeps the same E ticket
number as we will. See later cases of reissuing
involve changes of date, but with an extra fare
and a new E ticket. There you go. That's
a revalidation. Important note, no revalidation or issuing is possible if there's a request
to change airlines. If a customer, a
passenger has a flight with Vuling and requests the same itinerary
with Air France, then it's not possible. In this specific case,
we actually offer the passenger a refund
for the first ticket, if that's possible, of course, and we proceed with a new PNR. When there's a
change of airline, no revalidation or
reissuing is allowed. To summarize, here
are the conditions, the customer's request
is as follows. Either a different flight
number, same itinerary, same airline, or the customer requests a change in date
or time of the flight. Stop at a different
departure or arrival port. It's a change of date,
time or itinerary. First, we can make this change only if the following rules are respected for revalidation. To repeat, revalidation
is when there's a change in date,
time or itinerary, but there's no extra fee to add, there shouldn't be
any change in fare. If revalidation is explicitly allowed in the fare
conditions as we will see the FQD and if the original departure and
destination can be different, of course before all that,
we need to check that the status of the E tickets, the TWD order, allows
for revalidation. That means the status
has to be either O or A. We're going to look at a
very specific example. Of course, it tells you
here that there are certain exceptions for airlines in the revalidation rules. In that case, you need to
contact the airline directly. So we're going to look
at it in general. Here you have the process
before we do the example. Generally speaking,
the passenger comes back to us with a
request to change a date. For example, you'll need to
find the file with R T. Next, right after that, we need
to check the status with TWD L, the FA line. If we have O or A, the
change is possible. Of course, you need to
retrieve the fare basis. From the TWD command
and also, as we'll see, the coupon number
that appears after executing the TWD SHL command, then you need to check and read the conditions with FQD and FQN. Let's look at an example. If after typing the FQN command and the fare basis number, we get the message, we'll look for the message
change permitted. If at the change
permitted level, you have free or free anytime. Then we're in a case
of revalidation. If there was a
certain fare here, a penalty of 20 euros, ten euros or 30 euros, then this is not a
case of revalidation. It's a case of reissue. The person will have a label. Here the change is
free, let's say, so we can change the date for them and we're in a
case of revalidation. So a change with
revalidation is possible. Generally speaking,
as we will see, to proceed with the date
change, for example, after displaying their file, you type the A and command, request availability for the
new date they're asking for. But of course, with
the same segment, the same class, and
the same airline. Next, SS, as we already
saw, you take a seat, but you need to take
the same class and the same airline as
the original E ticket. So the new segment will
appear in the PNR. You remove the old
segment with XE followed by the number of the
old segment, and finally, you complete the
revalidation with TTP ETRV E ticket revalidate. A, the line number
under the E ticket, S, the segment number
of the new segment. E, the coupon number,
as we'll see, that appears in the TWT and
you validate, that's it. Then of course, as usual, you sign with RF signature and
you save it with ER or ET. You've completed the validation. The passenger has gotten
their date change. Now let's look at the example E ticket for Henri Duke on flight 1070 from
Barcelona to Rome. Mr. Henri Duke
took a VlingFlight 1070 in class L on August 17, which is day seven, meaning Sunday departing from Barcelona
and arriving in Rome. Departure at 4:15 P.M. Arrival at 6:15 P.M. The passenger on relook
is in position one, passenger one P one. Here is the line Apax, which represents the
electronic ticket. Here, of course, as
we've already mentioned, this is the E ticket number. E ticket provided by Wheeling, he paid 370 euros
for segment two, which is this flight, and
for passenger number one, that is on relook. So we are looking at the case of a passenger, one segment. Mr. Alike comes up
to me and says, so is it possible
for me to change my departure date from
August 17, August 20? Of course, he wants
the same route. So the first thing he wants to know is whether that's possible. So we need to check the status of the electronic
tickets for that. To see the status number, you need to get
the FA line number associated with the
passenger P one on Rook. So that's the number Line nine. I request to display
the statuses. So L TWD SHL Line
nine, there you go. So what do we need to retrieve?
You can see it clearly. That's the segment
right there. So we noticed that the startus is O. So if it's at O or A, that means the
change is possible. So that's already good news. He can change his it. We also need to get
the fair basis, which is the fair code. You need to get the code
that's right there. We'll need it actually to
read the fair conditions. Here, the fair basis is Y DZRTT and you also need
to get the coupon number. The coupon number is
what's displayed here. Here you have just one segment, so it's coupon number one. We'll need to possibly
revalidate so I repeat status O, a
change is possible. The fair basis, the
fair code is Y DZRTT, the coupon is coupon number
one, so there you go. Let's get back to the file. Now we're going to display
the fair conditions. Why? To see if we're actually in a case
of revalidation or reissue because the process is going to change when we're
in a case of reissue. The fair conditions, as we've
already mentioned, is FQD. Next, we give exactly and
precisely the specific segment from the city of Barcelona
to the city of Rome. We entered original
departure date, which was August 17, starting from August 17, next, which airline mandatory, AVY? Next, we need to provide
the ticket issue date. The issue dates,
just to remind you, it's a ticket that was
issued on June 13. We see it the FAPAx line
because it can change. The fair conditions can change from one issue date to another. R, and we put the issue
date which is here. June 13, 24, of course, we want the fair conditions
in the same class. We're not changing
the class in class A. CA and there you go. I repeat, I'm asking for the fair conditions on the
Barcelona Rome segment on the date ticket already proposed for August 17
with the airline Velling. The ticket was
issued on June 13, 2024 in class N, and there you have the
conditions that are displayed. Now to read the fair conditions, I remind you that
we had in the TWD, we retrieve the fare basis. The fare basis was YD ZRT, so it's right here, what's
the fare basis for? It's just to get the line
number, which is here. YD ZRT is line 12. If we had had B couple, it would have been line 15. Line 12, and now we're going to ask what the penalties are, if any, the fare surcharge
in case of a date change. FQN and here we retrieve
the fare basis number 12, and we ask what the penalties
are in case of a change. You'll see as we already saw
in case of a refund and all. And there you go.
FQN here we retrieve the fare basis number 12 and we ask what the penalties
are in case of a change. And you'll see, as
we already saw, in case of a refund and
all, and there you go. Here you have to scroll,
of course, or type, move next, move next, Fn and all that. You absolutely have to
read this yourself, okay? So slowly, and we're
going to look for change here because the person is asking for a change,
not a refund. Until we notice here, free of cost anytime, that means the change is free at any time. So here we are. There are no penalties to pay and there are
no fare surcharges, we are in a case
of revalidation. The ticket, we're going to
do the revalidation now. The passenger will have
the same label number with a date change
at no extra cost. So if it said here
ten euros, 20 euros, 30 euros, that wouldn't be
a case of revalidation. It would be a case of reissue, and now the process is going to change as we will see in
the upcoming lessons. Free of cost, you can
change your ticket. So we're going back to RT.
What are we going to do now? He requested August 20, we're going to check
the availability for August 20 on the same segment. That is Barcelona Rome, but also with the same airline because when it's different
airlines, it's not possible. We will need to
cancel the tickets or refund them and
create a new PNR. We're going to check
the availability for August 20, of course, Barcelona, Rome with Veling and we're
taking the same class because changing classes will generally always come with
a fare surcharge. Class there you go, and there we have, of course, some
availability. That's good. Let's say he tells us he
wants to leave at 4:15 P.M. There's a seat in class. We're going to take a
seat on the new segment, SS one, segment three.
What do you notice here? There you go. The segment
has been entered. Here we have the old segment, and here we have the new
segment. What do we do now? We delete the old segment. What is the line of the old
segment from the 17 others? It's line two. We're going to delete line two,
and there you go. The Apax hasn't changed. We've entered a new date. The fair conditions told us that there's no extra charge to add, no penalty, so we're
going to revalidate now. Inform the company.
Revalidate, what is it? It's to inform the company
that there has been a date change for
Mr. Henry Duke, August 20, Barcelona, Rome. So how do we revalidate? TTP, we're requesting the
revalidation of the E ticket because there hasn't
been any fare increase and E ticket validated. Then you say which FA line
you have revalidated? It's the E ticket, so
it's line eight, L eight. Which segment did
you revalidate? So the itinerary is
here, it's the segment. Segment number two,
and then you give the coupon number that we saw when we displayed
the ticket statuses. The coupon number was
one E one. There you go. He tells me the E ticket
has been revalidated, so my passenger benefits
from a date change, with no fare increase. We're in a revalidation case. All I have left to do is sign, there you go, and of
course, register it. Basically, a
revalidation is when you check the fare conditions and there are no extra charges, no penalties, and the
change is allowed. So we proceed with the change, we register it, and we sign, there you go. In the next class,
33. - Example of multi passenger reservation with revalidation case: We're going to tackle
a complete exercise. This will allow us to review the complete booking process,
including the reservation, payment method, pricing,
ticket issuance, and ticket printing. Here we go. We're going to do this exercise. We're going to make
a reservation for a couple, Ben, Alan, and Ben Nadia, travel project, leaving on August 12,
Marsill to Madrid, returning on August 19, with Air France in first class, we have Alan's email,
which is Alan do gmail.com and Nadia's
phone number. We're going to start with
the complete booking. Next, we assume that the couple request to change the
return to August 21. First, we need to check
that we're actually in a revalidation case
because we might end up in a reissue case
and if that's the case, we'll proceed with
the revalidation. Let's go. Let's do
the exercise then. We have a travel project for the Ben family, Alan and Nadia. So on August 12, they'll have a departure
from Marseilles to Madrid. And of course, on the
return, August 19, Madrid to Marseille, and there
are certain requirements, that means they're
going to fly with Air France and in first class. So we have a departure a departure on August
12, Marsill to Madrid. So it will be AN August 12. Misses, which is the code
for Marseille and MD, which is the code for Madrid, with the return, the star, which means return on August 19, and now we set the options. In first class with
Air France AF, so we have two tables
that are displayed. The first table will
be about the roots. We have here August
12, Marseilles, Madrid, Marsi Madrid.
We have three segments. The second table, August 19, we have Madrid, Mars,
Madrid, Marseille. We also have three
options for the return. Now we're going to deal
with the outbound flight. Let's assume that
these two people, so this group, are
going to choose the departure at 7:15, which
is segment number one. SS, we're taking two
seats, two seats. In first class, it's possible because there are two
seats segment one. Here we took two seats
for the outbound flight. Now let's take the return. So the star, which means return, assuming they want to come back, the return time is
August 19 at 7:15 P.M. So it's segments 13
and in first class. So F 13. There we have the two segments. We check Air France 22 71, first class on August 12, Marsill to Madrid, and
the second segment, Air France 22 88 on August
19, Madrid to Marseille. Now we can enter
them directly since they have the same last name, so we can enter
them directly, Ben, so Alan, Mr. And slash. Here, when we enter
them on the same line, one and two means two
people on the same line. There's no need to
re enter the name. We enter directly. So the
first name of the lady, um. There you go. The PNR is
starting to be created, passenger one, Benin,
passenger two Benada. Here we have the departure, August 12, Mars Madrid, and the return August
19, Madrid Marsi. We're confirming the tickets, the reservation with TK is okay. Here, we have Gen two for seats. Here, Hn two for
unconfirmed seats. When we type TK, those
seats will change to HK, which means two confirmed seats. Next, we enter the
contact details, meaning the passenger's
information. So we have Alan who
gave his email. So APE comes from email, he told us it was AA gmail.com. Whose email is this?
Okay, we have to well, it would be interesting
to add who it belongs to which passenger? So at the institute
in first position, the line number, so P
one, and there you go. We also have the phone
here, so it's APM, AP means, which means mobile. We have the lady's phone number, so 321 to explain who it is, it's it belongs to the
person of passenger of, that is to say
misses Ben Mediat. There you go. For the
booking now we sign with the signature that Amadeus
gave me and I'm recording it. Once I've recorded it,
I understand that it's registered end of
complete authorization. We have a file number
here. Let's continue. We're going to ask
for a payment method. Let's say he's paying cash, so form of payment cash. Next, we're going to request
a pricing to get a TST, FXP. Here we have Benelan it's
going to cost him 835 euros. Ben Nita, is the total will be 16 70 euros,
all taxes included, to validate the pricing, that is to say to
obtain and send a TST transitional stock ticket, I just need to sign to validate. If I sign, it's good.
We have here TST, which means we've sent it to the company that we've
priced for these people. What do we have left to do now? We need to issue. Why, to get E ticket numbers for each of the passengers who
are on the same file. So we have here the line
F Apax for passenger one. So this concerns Ben Allen. It's Mr. Allen's ticket exactly. So this is the E ticket
number, AirfranceE ticket. He paid 835 euros, and that's the issue date, the issue date, of
course, Alan exactly. So that's the E ticket
number, Air France E ticket. He paid 835 euros, and
that's the issue date. The issue date, of
course, this number, as I've already mentioned
in previous lessons, is the agency's office ID. Here is the IATA number of the
agency here passenger one, that is to say Mr. 21, the price concerns segments three and four, three and four. The same thing for misses
Bendia. Here we go. P two, that's Bendia's ticket. I sign and I save. Of course, we will need to add the SR Doc, which means the passenger
document information. We will have to
introduce in principle, two SRDcsO to enter the
passenger information for Mr. Ben Alan and the other to enter the passenger document for
misses Benadia. There you go. The reservation is complete. Ben Allen and the
other one to enter misses Ben Nadia's
passenger document. There you go. The
reservation is complete. If I want to print, I
just have to type ITR, so I'll have two sheets. Each sheet will concern thee, the E ticket in paper format. Let's continue then.
Now, let's assume that these people here
come back two days later, and ask for a date
change for the return. I find their file,
RT the Ben family. We can search by name. You just need to put the
slash. There you go. Benal I found their file.
What are they asking for? What are they asking for? They're asking if
it's possible to change the return date from
August 19 to August 21. To do that, the first thing to do is to check the
status of the tickets. See if it's already
allowed. We can change it. TWD. The first ticket
for Mr. Ben alla, we're going to 11. Okay. So what do we have here? We have Benala, the
status is O open for use, O for both the outbound
and return flights. That means he can change either the outbound
or the return flight. We absolutely need to retrieve
the fare basis YZRTT. But what does he want to change? Watch out. He wants
to change the return. The return is in position two, so it's coupon number two. It's the same thing anyway. We can also do the same thing. Basically the same result because it's the same file L 12. Let's look at the
fair conditions. I remind you that
you need to type FQD the segment where we're going to change the
date is Madrid to Marseille, so we type Mad MRS. The date we're changing
was August 19, we type D, August 19. In the same class, so class, F, the same airline AF and
when was the ticket issued? The ticket was
issued. We can see it in line FAPEX the date is there, June 14, 2024, meaning when
did we issue the tickets? Bishing Boss, 24
and there you go. Here we have the
fair conditions. When we type TWD,
the business fail. Didn't have a fair.
It was YD ZRTT. We can clearly see here
that it's line 12. In the end, retrieving at the TWD level is just to
know the line number. Now we're asking for
the penalty conditions. 12 start PE and it all depends on what
it's going to show me. So we're going to scroll
here or type Mn move next, move next, and we're
looking for the change. What does it say to us here? Change is free of cost anytime. The change is free, meaning
there are no extra taxes, no extra fare, so we're in
a case of revalidation. If there was a certain
penalty here, for example, 20 euros or ten euros, it would be a case of remission. So we would do
everything differently. So free of cost anytime. We're in a case of revalidation.
What does that mean? It means we can revalidate, and the people Ben Alan and Bend will have the
same ticket numbers. There won't be any
change of number. It's the same tickets, just
the date is going to change. Now, they want to
change to August 21. So we're going to look for
availability August 21. The return is Madrid Marcell. We're indeed asking for precisely the same class class F and with the same airline. And there you go, we're
going to take two seats. We notice that there's a
flight at 7:15 830 and 16 45, Madrid Mars Madrid
Mars Madrid Mars. On the 4:15 P.M. Flight, it's not
possible to have two seats in class F
when we have F one. That means there's
one seat left. Let's say they tell us we're
taking the 830 flight, that's segment number two,
there are seven seats. Says, we're taking two seats, class segment two,
and there you go. We notice that there are
three segments here, August 12 and the
return on August 21. We need to delete
the old segment. To delete it's Xi, the segment number
is four Xi Patra and there you go.
Now it's all set. We just need to revalidate. When we talk about TTP RVs, we are referring to
specific processes. In this context, we need
to focus on the FA lines. The question we are addressing
is whose tickets are we in the process of changing
or modifying at this moment. From P one and P two, that is from Ben to Alan
and Ben to Nadia, 12 13. There you go, 12-13. Ts, there you go 12-13. Which segment did we change? It's segment number four. It's Madrid Mars a four. We saw the coupon
number when we checked. The ticket status, so E two. That was the second
coupon and we revalidate. There you go, E ticket,
let's validate it. All that's left is to sign with the Amada signature and save it. The revalidation has
been done. There you go.
34. - The reissue exchange of date of time of class or itinerary with fare supplement with ATC: Today, we're talking
about reissuing. Reissuing involves,
it's a case of exchange when a customer
already has a ticket, an E ticket number, and they come to request a
possible change of date, time, class, or itinerary. When there's a fare
difference to pay, we're in a reissuing case, meaning the system
has to generate a new e ticket for them
with a new fare difference. So we're going to use
Amadeus Ticket hanger. We're going to use Amadeus
Ticket hanger. All right. That means you need
to be subscribed to Amadeus Ticket hanger. In this case, of
course, you'll need to contact your nearest
Amadeus company. So the problem is how to assess the fare difference
and generate a new E ticket. So how are we going
to do this course? I'm going to quickly give
you a concrete example. Then at the end of the course, you'll have all the
necessary steps for reissuing written down. In general, what does
Amadeus ticket changer do? It has to automatically
calculate the tax excluded difference between the old ticket and
the new ticket. It also has to calculate the tax difference between
the old ticket and the new. Ticket. It also has to issue or indicate any
potential change penalty, and it will show us
the fare difference. Reissuing means
getting new tickets while of course indicating
the new fare difference. Let's now just do the example. We're going to see in this
example how to do a reissue. We have a PNR here. So miss
Cristiano Esmeralda took a flight on Welling 23 68
in class Y on July 20, which is day six, meaning Friday from Marseilles
Terminal one, arriving in Madrid Terminal two. Her seat is confirmed
and we have here the px, the Fpx line at eight, which concerns the ticket. Here is the E ticket number, E ticket from Veling. The total amount she paid, including tax is 475 euros. The issue date is June 15, 2024. We have the agency's office ID, the agency's state number. This payment concerns
segment number two, that is this one for
passenger number one. Here we have filled
out the RDoc, which is the passenger document. It's a Spanish passport,
the passport number. Here is the date of birth
of Ms Christiano Esmeralda. Woman, the expiration
date of the passport. For Christiano
Esmeralda, Y is P one, it's the passenger document. Let's say that miss
Christiano Esmeralda came to us to possibly
request a date change. We're going to
handle the change of date, class, and itinerary. She had bought a
ticket that she paid 415 euros for on July 20, Mars, Madrid, she's asking
us if she can change it, for example, to July 27. The first thing to do is to check if the
change is allowed. To do that, as
we've done before, we need to type TWT L being the FA line of the ticket because that's
the electronic ticket. After all, L. Number two, the FA line, it's eight, so we type L eight. And what are we looking
at here? There you go. The ticket status
is open for use. That means the
change is allowed. Okay, here we have the
payment before tax. Here are the taxes, which is important now for the refund, and everything she
paid is 475 euros. I'm going back to the file. So what do we do since
the change is allowed? We're going ahead with
the change already. We're going to check
the availability, July 27, the same
route, Marcel Madrid. And here it's better to
choose the same class and, of course, the same airline. I remind you that issuing or revalidating is not possible
when changing airlines. We will need to cancel
the first ticket or refund it and
create a new PNR. Let's check the availability. There are availabilities. She has to choose from
these three flights, 1015, 830, 16 15. Let's say she chooses 4:15 P.M. It's possible because there's
one seat left in class. So says we're taking
a seat in class, segment three, we can see that
we have the two legs here. The first leg is on July 20 and the second
segment is Marcel Madrid. But on July 27, what do we do? Right away, we delete
the old segment. The old segment is
in position two, so Xe two, there you go. Now the problem is
that we need to ask Amadeus ticket
changer to automatically calculate the tax excluded fare difference between the old ticket and
the new ticket, any potential tax difference, and whether there's a penalty. All of this will be calculated
by Amadeus ticket changer, but I remind you that you
will need to subscribe to Amadeus ticket changer through your Amadeus office
in your city. Now we're going to ask it
to calculate directly, so when we do FXQ. We're asking Amadeus
to automatically calculate the fare difference
to be paid for this change. So I just remind you, FXP ultimately is equivalent to FXP when you
do a new pricing. On the other hand, remember when we were making
the reservation, we could ask the system for
the best possible fare. So for changes, if you want
the best possible fare, you use FXO which is the
equivalent of FXB best fare. But FXP and FXB are when we're doing the
PNR for the first time, while FXQ or FXO are for changes. So what
are we going to do? We're going to use
it. We're asking here for the fare difference
and you'll see that. Well, here's something
important you'll notice. Here we go. So Marsiil and
Madrid. Let's break this down. It tells us that the
old tax excluded world fare balance
was 367 euros. The new tax excluded
price for the change on July 27 is 425 euros. So here, it automatically calculates the
difference for us. The tax excluded
difference is 58 euros. It tells us that
the old taxes were 108 euros and the new
taxes are 114 euros. Here, it tells us
that the balance the tax difference
between the new ticket and the old ticket is 5.44. The ticket difference, the
fare difference for now is 58 plus 5.44, which is 63.44. But what is it telling us here? There's a penalty of 20 euros. You notice that we
didn't go through FQD or FQN like we usually do, but just because here, it's the ATC Amadeus ticket hanger. Here it tells us
the grand total, here's the extra
amount that misses Christiano Esmeralda has to pay for us to make the
ticket change. Here the system is
telling us, be careful. You need to collect the
fare difference now. If the person pays you
the fare difference, then it's a case of reissuing. The system needs to generate
a new label, a new ticket. To validate this
is very important. You put ER there you go. So what you notice
here when you type ER, a new line, fo pax appears. Here, it retrieves, if you will, the number of the old ticket, the one from July 20. It's a trace. When we
see this, a trace. Means that this ticket, this PNR has been changed there,
what is it telling us? E one, exchange one, for passenger number one. If you see the FOPAx line, it's the trace of
the old E ticket. This is the E ticket number, the departure ticket,
the issue date, the office ID, et cetera. FAPAX there you go. We
have a new E ticket. We have a new E ticket
because there's a fair difference.
It's not over yet. Next, you absolutely need to indicate how she's going to pay the payment method
for the new pricing. For that, you absolutely need
to remove the old pricing, the old payment method.
We have it here. The first time she paid in
cash, form of payment cash. XE, I'm removing the
old one and now look, we need to provide
the payment method for both the old and the new. Let's assume that the first
time she paid us in cash, now let's assume she's
paying us by check. F behold on the old
one, she had paid in cash plus and we add
the new payment method, if she pays, the extra fee
in cash, we write cash. Let's assume she paid us
by check, so we put check. Payment method hold cash plus new payment method by
check, and we validate. Now we need to do the reissuing. To do the reissuing,
there's a problem. You need to display the new TST, which is the new invoice. You need to display what's
called the fair mask. To display the fair
mask, it's TQT. Here you have the fair
mask that is displayed, and you absolutely need to look here. There are two things. The new invoice, if you
want TST number two, means that this ticket
has been charged twice. The first time when she
booked her ticket for January 20 and now for the
ticket for July 27, 27. July 20, and now for July 27. Notice here, you have the I, I means that you're
on automatic. The advantage is that you
have no responsibility. It's Amadeus that takes responsibility for
the calculation. Unlike the manual
system, when you have M, it means you have to
calculate the tax excluded difference between
the old and the new label, the tax difference between
the old and the new label, and possibly the penalty. You have to do all
of that yourself. It's a very long process. Here, no. Amadeus automatically calculated the extra
amount to pay. The tax excluded difference, the penalty, and of course,
the tax differences. Now you do the TST, the fair mask with TQT
to get the TST number. The TST here is number two. Now, from there, you can reissue to validate the new label. To reissue, it will be TTP you
put T here and next to it, you put the TST number. If you have two, you put two, three, you put three T two. And T gives you the name
of the airline code. We were with Vuling here it is, VY VY, it tells me, a ticket well issued. Now all I have to do is sign and save and you can see
here, look closely. There was a price of 475 euros. We have a price of 83 euros, which means this new ticket. Here's the new E
ticket. It's here. Here we have the old
E ticket that she paid about 475 euros for, and this is the fare supplement
that the person paid. The moral of the story is, generally speaking, when
you see, for example, three lines of F opAX, it means that a ticket
has been exchanged three times because we
have three E tickets. When you see here, we
understand that there's F OpAx. It means there's an old
ticket that was issued. Here's the new one. If we want to print the new
E ticket with the new fare, we just have to type the
command ITR and hit validate. There will be a new E
ticket with the same route, the same first and last name, the same booking number, but
with a new E ticket number. Unlike revalidation
where there's no fare supplement to pay, it's the same E ticket. Only the dates
change. There you go. That's what we did here.
Now we're going to do another case of reissuing. When the person
possibly requests a class change, there you go. Here's a summary in
writing of the processes, let's say, for reissuing. The first thing to
do is, of course, to find the passenger file with RT booking number or RT
last name slash First Name. Then you need to target the FAPAx line that
contains the E ticket. Here you type TWD in F. If the status is O or A, it means that the
change is allowed. Then depending on the
client's request, whether it's a change
of date, time, class, or itinerary,
you need to check the availability
for the new date or new class, et cetera. Then of course, you take
a segment for them. Then as we've already seen, you delete the old segments. And you need to call on ATC
automatic ticket changer to calculate the
fare supplement. The fare supplement
will be based on the difference
excluding tax between the new date and the old date or the new class
and the old class, and the tax difference
between the new date and the old date and possibly
the change penalty. Now, to request the
Amadeus ticket changer, you just have to type FX
to get the supplement. Mount. They fix you to get
the normal supplement. FXO is the best possible fare, but possibly with
a class change. Then you validate with ER. Once you've validated
with ER before reissuing, you absolutely need to display
the fair display mask. Once you've displayed
the fare display mask, it's to retrieve the TST
number right at the top. Once you've retrieved
the TST number, you remove the old
payment method, as we've already seen using XE, the first line of
front of payment. You insert the new
payment method with FPO, the old payment method, plus
the new payment method. You can have, for example, FPO cash plus slash cash or PO cash plus
check or Visa card. And finally, you proceed
with the reissuing using TTP T followed
by the airline code, AF for Air France,
IB for Iberia, et cetera T is the
TST number that you retrieved by displaying
the fare display mask TQT. Once you're done, you can
print the ticket with ITR, sign it, and check
in with ER or ET. The reissuing is complete.
35. Corrected exercise how to proceed with a reissue in case of change of class with ATC: Dealing with another case of reissuing where a passenger has already taken an E ticket, has already had a
ticket and paid for it, and is coming back to us to
ask if they can change class. This is also a
case of reissuing. As we saw in the previous
exercise, this is a change, so we need to pull up her file, check her TWD status, to see if this
change is allowed. We'll proceed with
the class change and calculate any fare difference
that the passenger, the client needs to pay, and then we'll reissue the ticket just
like we did before. Let's do it. Here we have the PNR for misses
Christian Osperalda. We're going to use
the same example, who had a flight
on Welling 5474 in class Y on July 27.
Which is day one. That is to say Monday, departing from
Marseilles Terminal one, arriving at Madrid ominal two, she has her ticket right here. The E ticket number
is 642 and so on. The E ticket, that's
the E ticket number, and this is the record number. She paid 83.44 euros. For segment number
two, that segment. Let's say she came
to us today to ask if she could
upgrade to first class. Because she received a bonus, even though she originally
bought the ticket in class Y. The first thing to do is
to see if it's allowed. As we already mentioned, to
check the ticket status, it's TWD the line that
represents the ticket, the FA line, seven. What do we notice that
the status is in UAE, open for one use, so she can
proceed with the change. She requests a class change
to first class, segment two. If available, she's moved. We calculate fare differences, old fare 64 euros, new fare 122 euros, difference 58 euros
plus 0.95 euros, tax difference, and
a 20 euro penalty. F on which segment, it's segment number two. Either the system will tell
us there's no availability. Okay, so we'll have to choose
class A or something else, or if it finds availability, it will automatically
place her in class F for segment number two. Let's give it a try. Here we go. And what do we notice? That
indeed it was done directly. We could have done it with AN requesting the same
root, the same segment, but in class, F and
taking a seat with SS, it's the same thing, but we would have had to
delete the old segment. Here, it was done directly, that means there was
availability in class. F, now we need to calculate
any fare difference. It could be a refund in case of upgrading from a lower
class to a higher class, we call on the ATC, FXQ so what does it tell us? Okay, so it's a bit
more expensive, so she has to pay the old fare
excluding tax of 64 euros. The new fare in class
F is 122 euros, so she has a fare
difference excluding tax of 58 euros, all right? And there's also a tax
difference because the taxes change
based on, of course, the value of the tax changes depending on the
price excluding tax. That's completely normal. So there's a difference
of 0.95 euros for the tax difference
and a penalty of 20 euros because she
requested a change. The APT can be zero
or five. It depends. The system calculated
the fare difference in the case of a class change. Of course, it could be a case of a refund. We need to collect. We're going to ask
her for 70950. If she doesn't accept,
it's too expensive. Let's go back to our file. If she accepts, we do ER. ER, there you go. We have
a second FO line here. That means there you go. That's line 13 that was added. This is the record
of the old E ticket, and a new E ticket has appeared. It's a new ticket with
a new E ticket number. Before finishing, of course, she needs to pay the additional
fee that was requested. So we absolutely need to
remove the old payment method. As we can see here,
there are two FO lines, so she has already
made a change. So the first payer paid in cash and for the first
change she made, she paid by check.
So what do we do? We need to remove the
old payment method and add FP hold instead. FP hold, so she initially
paid in cash plus, then she paid by
check. There you go. Let's assume plus
the second change. Let's assume she paid in
cash, and there you go. Now we understand there
are two info lines, which means she had
already made a change. Now, after calculating the
additional fee to pay, we need to display
the maximum fare with TQT to get the TST
number. There you go. It's TST number two, and we're in automatic mode. Once we've done that,
we need to reissue TTP T. The company is
viewing, it's there. T VlingTST number T
two. There you go. The system tells us that the
ticket has been reissued. We sign, of course,
and we record it. There you go. We've
handled the case of a class change. Thank you.
36. - Reissue, process the exchanges of date of time of class or itinerary manually: This lesson, we're
talking about reissuing, but in a manual way,
just to remind you, reissuing is when a
customer who already has a ticketmes to you to possibly
request a change of date, time, class, or itinerary. We call that a reissue when a passenger who
already has a ticket, requests a change of date, time, class, or itinerary
with the same airline. You can't reissue a ticket
with a different airline. In that case, you'll need
to refund the ticket with the first airline and create a new PNR with the
second airline. We've already seen
how to reissue using the Amada ticket changer, which allows us to automatically calculate the fare supplement. That includes the
change penalty, the difference in fare before tax, and the difference in tax. It only required four steps. With manual changes, you have to calculate the fare
supplement yourself, meaning the difference
in fare between the new date and the old date, the difference in tax between the old date and the
new date as well. Also for the itinerary, if it changes, so we will need to generate
a new E ticket. Manually, it requires 14 steps. Unlike the ATC, which
only required four steps. Let's say that the
small advantage of manually calculating a reissue is that you don't have a supplement to your
Amada subscription. But I strongly sincerely advise you to use the ATC because
it helps you avoid mistakes. You need to understand that when you manually calculate a change, Okay, it's you who enters
the calculation yourself. That means you have to calculate the
difference before tax, between the new ticket for the
new date and the old date. The difference in
fare before tax, the difference in taxes between the new ticket
and the old one, and you have to find
the change penalty yourself using the
fare database. You have to enter the manual
calculation yourself. If you make a mistake
with the fare supplement, you risk facing an
adjustment from the airline. Let's do the example with
the Royal Amada system. By the end of this
video, you'll have the different steps
displayed and also in PDF. Let's go. So here we go. We're going to do a reissue, which means a change of date, but we're not calling the
ATC Amades ticket changer, although I strongly
recommend it to you. Here, we're going
to do it manually. You'll see that there
are a lot of steps. There are 14 in total, and you're responsible
for calculating any potential fare
supplement in case of an error when Mr. Patrice Leonardo is going to
request a change of date. We have a file here,
Mr. Patrice Leonardo. Who has an Iberia flight
52 oh three in class five on September 12,
which is day six, meaning Saturday, departing
from Lisbon terminal one, arriving in Brussels terminal one with a confirmed ticket. We notice that the
payment method has been hidden and here we
have the FPAx line, which, as we've
already mentioned, cryptically represents Mr.
Patrice Leonard's ticket. There are two valid tickets
with Iberia, Patrice Leonard. Two valid tickets with Iberia, Mr. Patrice Leonardo
paid 390 19. You can clearly see
here, passenger one. There you go. One for the payment regarding
segment number two. He has only one, segment two. Let's assume that
after the issuance of this ticket, two
or three days later, Mr. Patrice Leonardo
comes to us and says, Here's the thing. I want
to change the date. Instead of September 12, I want to leave on September 30. So it's a case of either
revalidation or reissue. If there's a fair
supplement to pay, that's a case of reissue. There's a new E ticket. In the case of revalidation, if he doesn't have any
fair supplement to pay, then he will keep
the same E ticket, even the E ticket number
with the date change. The first thing to do is to check if the
date change is allowed. For that, as we
already mentioned, we're going to refer
to the status, so TWDL the passengers
lower line, which is line eight, so L eight, and there you go. So here we have the status
as high, open for use, which means that the
ticket is exchangeable, refundable, and possibly
cancelable. That's it. The first important
piece of information, Mr. Patrice Lemaire
can change his ticket. Now, to possibly calculate
any late penalties or fare supplements, that's
the purpose of this. So what do we need to retrieve? The first thing to do,
as you will notice here, I've opened our system
to do the calculation. We're going to keep the
pricing of Mr. Leonardo's old ticket from September 12, so
we're going to take that. Leonardo, so we're
going to take that. Here. You notice that we
have the price before tax, all the taxes he paid, and what he paid in
total, including taxes. So the first thing to do, we're going to save
that information, copy it, and we're
going to paste it here. So we're going to put
here old old old ticket. It's reduced to September 12. And we're going to copy
the information here. We have here. This is
the amount before tax. This is the total
of the taxes paid, and this is what Mr.
Patrice Leonardo. But the problem during the
refund is that he paid 380 euros and he also
paid some taxes. When he changes the date,
the fare can change, of course, and some taxes
may increase or decrease. So for that, we simply need to display a
summary of the taxes. So for that, you
just type TWD taxes, and there you go, indeed. So you have here all the taxes
he paid on the old ticket. It's 86.80 60. He has several taxes. He has four here. We're
explaining in ten. Okay, so going to
focus on the taxes, the IO tax, the YQ tax, the JD tax, and the tax. We're going to go back as well. One very important thing because we're doing
this manually, we have to do
everything ourselves. That's not the hand of
the ticket charger. We absolutely need to retrieve what's called the fare basis, which is right next
to the status. The fare basis is an
alphabetical code that relates to the fares of the segments
for each airline. The most important thing is
to remember the fare basis. That's how we're going to see what the penalty might be
for changing the ticket. So we're going to
write all that down. Let's start saving that
so we remember it. We're going to paste
that right over here. We're going to put
it exactly here. So fair basis. We'll need this to find out the specific details of exactly what the penalty
for changing is. We're going to write
the fair basis here, paste, it's here. And we also need to display
all the taxes he paid. The total amount of taxes, it's 86 dot 86, but we need to know
the taxes he paid. For that, after TWD, you type TWD taxes and
there we'll have a summary. In our case, he has
already paid four taxes. The total of these
taxes was 865. We absolutely need to
get that because it's done manually to make
a change for him. We need to see the
taxes we need to remove or the taxes
he might need to add. Here are the taxes he has we've summarized
the old ticket. Now I'm back. We're going back. To our ticket, and
now we need to assess since the
change is allowed, we need to know
what the potential penalty for changing is. We haven't made a
date change yet, but we need to see what
the change penalty is to find out if the client
will accept it or not. For that, we display the fair conditions as we
saw in a previous lesson. FQD the route was Lisbon, Brussels, as we can see here. Here, of course, after
that, we put the date. It was for departure on
September 12, a reminder, if there was a round, trip, we type star here and
there, there's the return. So here we have a
one way ticket, starting from September 12, next, we say which airline? He booked his ticket with
it's the Iberia airline. So we're going to do AIB because each airline has
its own fare conditions. Then when was the
ticket issued to him? When did he book his ticket? So it's still the line Apex. He booked the ticket. It
was issued on August 15, we put R, then a comma, and the issue date is August 15, all of that to find the date. There you go. We have the fair
conditions displayed here. We've already explained them. For us, you notice here, the fare basis was Y DZRTT and here it is, it's right here. It's here, so it's line 12. What do we do to find
out the change penalty possibly FQN 12 star? We ask, of course,
about the penalties, star PE because the basis for the recovery is
found in line 12. Here you really have to scroll carefully to read because
it can be very long. The main thing is you
need to target anytime. What are we being told
here? For refunds. It's about refunds, it's not
a refund, it's a change. For a change, it tells us to
charge the client 15 euros. The change penalty
right now is 15 euros. What are we going to note here? We have the penalty
here, as a result, approximately 15 euros so
a penalty of 15 euros. We're going to raise
it. There you go. Very good. Let's get
back to our file. Now that we know the value
of the change penalty, we've displayed here the
price before tax of the fare that Mr. Patrice
Leonard before tax. The total amount of
taxes he paid is 86.86 euros and what
he paid is 19 euros. What he paid is 380
euros and $0.19. The ticket for September 12. We looked at the
fair conditions FQD and to display the
penalties FQN, the change penalty is 15 euros. That's the first piece
of information we have. Now, we've launched a fare and we're going to
proceed with the change. He was supposed to
leave on September 12. He asked to leave
on September 30. We're going to request
availability for September 30 for the same
route from Lisbon to Brussels, but be careful here, of course, you have to request
the same airline. You can't ask for a
different airline. In this case, you
would have to refund the ticket and create a new
PNR for the new airline. So with Iberia, we're going to check availability
for the same class, which is V, the V class that we have here for
segment number two. There's availability, Sep 30, so we're offering him
the times he wants, 715, 830, 16 15. Let's assume he leaves
at 16:15 on sep 30, so we're booking
him a seat, S one, class V for segment number. Here we have the
old segment from Sep 12 and the
segment for Sep 30. First, remove the old segment. Now sep 30 here and we must
check the fare for that date. To request the fare it's
FXP and what do you notice? The Amadeo system tells
us there's already a TST, so we must cancel the old TST, so we must cancel the old fair. To cancel, it's TTE. There you go. TST deleted. So here we have September 30. Now we need to check the
fare for September 30. To request the fair, it's
FXP and what do you notice? The Amadeus system tells
us there's already a TST, so we need to
cancel the old TST, which means we have to
cancel the old fair. To cancel its TTE. There you go, TST deleted. Now, we're requesting the
fare for September 30 to see the fare differences tap Pix P, and there we have the new fares. So we're going to
take the fare here, we can see that it's 472 euros. But now the problem is calculating the additional
fare supplement he has to pay, which is necessary
and required in order to proceed. The fare supplement. Here it is. That's 15 euros. The new fare before
tax is 364 euros. The old one was 93 and
the taxes were 61. Now, let's see how
to handle this. We have to put a
dash here to show that here we go. We have here. We can write new fare for
September 30 for September 30, September 30, What do we notice? What do we need to calculate? The fare supplement
that our passenger has to pay to make the change, their date change, be
the FAR supplement, which will equal a
penalty we've assessed, which is 15 euros, plus the difference before tax, meaning the difference
300-64 0.33 euros and 293. We're going to calculate
the difference plus the difference in taxes. Here we have two
taxes, the IO tax, the YQ tax that have increased, but he has already
paid 61.06 arrow. The supplement for the IO tax
is 73.51 arrow -61.6 arrow. YQ tax up, paid 18.690
needs 23.20 10 more. JID tax paid, no more needed. He has already paid 18 69 he will have to pay
the difference 23 21. We will do it, we
will calculate. Now for the GID
tax, which is 534, he has already paid, so he won't have to pay
again for the GID tax. For the QV tax, for
the old ticket, he had already paid 1.23, it stayed the same, so
he has already paid, so we won't charge him again.
What are we going to do? We're going to
display the fare mask TQT and here we have the
information on the old fare. You notice here,
these are the same. It hasn't changed.
What do we need to do? We need to remove
this information here because it's
not the same fare. To remove this information here, just a reminder that
we're doing it manually. In conclusion, we are exploring the fascinating and intriguing
concept of TTI exchange. This TST is going to
undergo a change, TTI exchange, and you see
that it has been set to zero. Since it has been set to zero, now we're going to start. Informing Amadeus and the airline about
the fare difference. For that, you need to do TTK. You need to start
with the TST number. Here, we've noticed a TST number two if a new invoice number two. In conclusion, therefore,
it can be said that So tikt two then to let him know that he has a
penalty of 15 euros. What do you need
to do expense CP? We're applying a
penalty of 15 euros. Next, we're going to
handle the tax difference. Saving six den, I'm
putting it here. -61.6. -60 16. He has to 1.6 minus. We need to apply an
additional IFR on the tax of 14.91 on the IAU tax. For that, what do we do X 14.91? What tax? The tax,
of course, is IAU. Now, you have to do
this tax by tax, you see, to show that the
manual is complicated. I still advise you that in
the case of an exchange, it's better to do the
automatic reissue, as we already saw in
the previous lesson. X, now we're going to
take care of tax Y. 23 21 -18 69. There you go. We said that 23 21 minus. We said 18 69. There you go. We saw that 23 21. An old one. An old
1183921 minus. TI equals 452. The difference in the rate
for tax YQ is 4.52 X 452. Approximately 452? About the tax called YQ. For the other taxes, we don't touch them because they've
already been paid. Finally, getting there. We need to calculate T here and you write down everything he has
to pay in addition. He has to pay a 15 penalty, a 14 by 91 difference
on the IO tax. A 452 difference on the YQ
tax, but what is he missing? He's missing the difference
in the tax excluded rate. The tax excluded rate on
September 30 was 36433. The old rate was 293.33. Here's the extra amount to
pay, 15 for the penalty, 14.91 for the IO tax difference, and 4.52, just a tip, 12 for the penalty, plus 14.91. For the tax difference,
that's the IO tax plus 4.52 for the AUS tax of tax difference for the YQ
tax and plus 364.33 -93.33. All of that comes to about
62 s. So there you go. He actually has to pay $62 in surcharge to make the change. And there once we do that, we validate what
do we notice here? You have the surcharge,
which is 72, and we're told here, look,
a tax five has been added, it's the penalty tax. The penalty tax we
saw with FQD and FQN, unfortunately,
it's not over yet. We need to go back
to the RT file. The first thing
to do, of course, is to make sure you ask to save the records
of the old ticket, that is this okay
because in the end, we have to issue
him a new ticket with a new E ticket number. Here, for now, we have
the old E ticket. For that, you need to type
it yourself FFO star. L, and you put line nine
line eight for line FA. You meant to say that we a new E ticket,
and there you go. You put that star
and you validate. So here's the record of the old ticket that
was exchanged. Here we have a new E ticket. Here we have the old E ticket, the one from September 12, and that's for September 30. Now we need to reissue,
but we can't reissue. We need to reissue, do what
we call a manual reissue. The first thing
to do, of course, is to enter how
he's going to pay the 72, the payment method. What you need to do is delete
the old payment method. Here it is X five, and you put here FP, form of payment, hold, the old payment method was cash. Let's assume he paid us
the extra fee of 72. He's going to pay us, so cash, and we put plus and here the
new payment method, cash. If it were a credit case, we would just have to put in those types of cards
and go from there. Now, we haven't done
the reissue yet. We need to do the reissue. For that, you need to
display the new TST. It's here, and now
you do the reissue. To do the reissue,
you need to see the TST number, TST seven. What are you doing? TTP t seven slash RT
to do the reissue. And what do you notice
here that the amount of the new ticket has been
validated here, it's $72. All right. So here
we have an E ticket. And you need to since he made
a reissue for September 30, he's going to pay you $72
and what you need to do. Of course, don't forget to
print the ticket for him with ITR where there will be a new E ticket with
a new extra fee. To wrap up, let's
say he asks us, can I still change this
ticket? It's very easy. You just have to type TWD
L Line F to Line seven, and there you go,
it's at the top. So of course, he can still
if once, change the ticket. Now, what do we have left to do? Assign and save,
and there you go. We've done the reissue
the manual type change. I'm going to give you
the explanations of all the steps in the rest of
this course and in PDF two, because I know it's long
and it's a bit tiring. There you go. Thank you. A
37. - How to display the sales reports: Course is designed
so that the agency can display its
current Hash status. This is called the sales report. Generally, an agency needs
to know, for example, in the evening what
sales it has made, which tickets it has issued, possibly which tickets
it has refunded, and which tickets
it has canceled. This sales report
can be displayed either by date or
on a date page, or we can also have the sales report with
a specific airline. In the end, it's a
sales statement. We also call it the Fortnight. It's a sales report,
and we'll also see how to print this sales
report so that you have a list of all the
operations you've done for a given day or over
a range of days. From one day to another, and also with an option, you can get a sales statement
with a specific airline. There, go. If you want to get
the sales report for everything you've
done on the same day, a specific day, you
just need to type the command TJQh SOF. That's for the current
day, let's say. If on the other hand, you want to display
everything you've done, all the tickets you've issued, possibly refunded,
possibly canceled, you display it
with the option D, TGQSOF meaning you're
requesting the sales report, the sales report request, we also call it the Fortnight D for date and you put
in the range you want. Here, for example, we would
have the sales range, everything we've done,
the tickets issued, refunded and canceled
and even for the EMDs between February
10 and February 20, you can do that for
any dates you want. Now, if you want to display a sales report for a certain day, a day that has example, if you want to know
what happened that day, which tickets you issued, which tickets you refunded, and which tickets
you possibly cancel, you just need to type TJQSfD
and then put in the date. For this example, we will have the sales report for the
fortnight of February 10. If you want to display a sales
report to see past sales. Type TJQOfD and the day. For example, get the
report for February 10. To get a report for
a specific airline, specify the airline. For this example,
we're going to get the sales report for the
fortnight of February 10. Now, if we want to
get the sales report, for what we've done, what
we've worked on with a specific airline,
it's the same thing. You just need to
specify the airline. When you enter
this, for example, TJQOfT, you put the
airline code here, in this case, Airfrance. If we wanted to use Vonnegaine, we would just need to put T V D and then enter the
sales range you want. If I had put, for example, D January 1 to December 31, I want to get a sales report for everything I've
done with Air france. Now here's how the
display works. We're going to see, of course, an example on the
Amadeus system. When you have, for
example, TJQOft or slash SO with all the
parameters we've mentioned, here's how the display works. You have a table. Here we have the query report,
sales report request. Here, the first
three columns are sequence numbers here
for each passenger, for example, take a good look. We have Mr. Sino Young,
the second passenger, Mr. Eric Jean and here
what's really important. Is to have the ticket status. Here, TKTT means that
it's an issued ticket. It is usable, used or in use. If instead of TKTT
you have RFNT, that means this person has
refunded their ticket. If we have a void, that means
it's a canceled ticket. In these two cases here, it means that I
issued on that day, the same day, I
issued two tickets. The first ticket is
for Mr. No Young, TKTT an issued ticket. Here, you have the total, that's what Mr. Sino
Young paid before tax. Here, the tax. CnoYng is
before tax. Here the tax. In fact, what Mr. Sino Young, that's 568 euros plus 168, and here an
interesting detail for the agency is the commission you earned from
selling this ticket. For Mr. Eric Jean, also Ticat, it's
an issued ticket, a valid ticket or in use. He paid 365 euros before
tax plus 99 euros in tax, the commission received by
the agency is 27 euros. Here, FP means the
payment method. When we have CA, it means cash. CC means credit card,
CH means check. And here in the airlock card, it's the file number, it's the file number, not
the ticket number. Here it means that if
I type this TgqSOF, it means that for
now on the same day, I've issued two tickets. Let's take another case. When I type here, for example, I request the sales report, TJQSOf everything I've done, everything the agency has done between February 10
and February 20. Here's what we have.
All the tickets that are there for
Mr. Eta Freda, Artur Lafont, Luke Martin, Cedric Paton, Zenaida Wafa, Ben Ali, et cetera. What do we notice here that
the tickets that are issued that are still valid or
that have been used TKTT, TKTT, TKTT, TKTT we notice
here that we have RFND refund. That means that, ma'am, during this period, during this time. And for all the airlines because I didn't specify
the airline here. When we type this,
it's a funds report we've done with all the
airlines. I have a question. She refunded her ticket. Mr. Faudlmi also
refunded his ticket, and during this period for
one reason or another, I had to the ticket
of misses Fred Joel, that of Mr. Patrice
Allen either at his request because
we made a mistake. Here, for example, all the payment details
have been hidden. Mr. Arthur Lafont
paid for his ticket, seven or 12 euros plus
211 euros in tax. The agency earned a commission
of 35 euros and so on. The TRNC column refers to
the status of the ticket. Ticket issued, ticket
issued, tickets sold, tickets sold, refunded,
tickets sold, ticket sold, ticket refunded,
ticket canceled, ticket issued, sold, ticket refunded, and
ticket canceled. Once you have the sales report, you need to have
the sales report. So here's another case when
I typed this TJQSOf TVY. So that's the Voligae company. I'm asking for the
sales report or the summary of
everything I've done with the Voligae company between February
10 and March 31. So with the Volin Company, I issued three tickets sold, I refunded one ticket, and I canceled ticket. But with the Volun Company between February
30 and March 31, once the sales
report is displayed, when the sales report shows up, if you want to print it, you just need to type
the command TJP. We do the TJ we request
the sales report and then we type TGP to print it on the printer if you have the printer connected
to the sales computer. Here, you see that we
have sequence numbers. For example, here, Mr.
Bernard has a ticket issued, tickets sold, he paid 173
euros plus 24 euros 87. All right. So here, no
commission for now. Here, no commission for
the astron. All right. So here, no commission for the astron so that's pretty much the lesson
on sales reports. Let's do an example right away with the real Amadeus system. Let's do an example on
the real Amadeus system. How do you display
a sales report, which is also
called the summary. When I type here, for example, TJQTOF that's the sales
report for the day. What are the tickets that I
issued, possibly refunded, possibly canceled for today, here it is for now. When I type this, it
means that today I issued only one ticket
to Mr. Zino young. His status is TKTT. TKTT means that it's a ticket that has been issued
and is still in use. Mr. Senior Young
made a payment of 568 euros with a
tax of 168 euros. In the end, he paid
the total of the two. Next to it, you have
the agency commission. That means the agency receives 28 euros on this
electronic ticket. The payment method
that comes right after CA means that the payment
was made in cash. Now, for example,
if we want to get the sales status for
a certain period, TJQSOfD here we
type, for example, between August 1 and
August 10, I want to see. All the sales I made between August 1 and August 10 for all the airlines
we've worked with. We're going to go from here. So here we have
the sales report. For example, here, Mr. Catafrida I issued that ticket because it's in TKTT status. Mr. Catafrida paid 453 euros plus 134 euros for his ticket. The agency collected 22
euros as a commission. The payment method is cash. Here, of course, in this column is the ticket file number. Let's take another example. Here we have the
Arthur confrontation, the same thing ticket issued, ticket issued, ticket issued. Let's take the case of
misses Jenada Wafa. You can clearly see
that refunded means that I've processed the
refund for this ticket. Misses Benelin, this
is a TKTT ticket, which means it's a
ticket that it's issued, usable and used,
and possibly used. Misses Belanin paid 150 euro plus 144 euro for her ticket. The commission for the
exchange was seven euros. The payment method was cash. Now let's look at the last case. Here, Mr. Patrice
Allan, there's a void. That means I've processed the cancellation of this ticket. We already saw in
the previous lesson, the difference between a refund and a ticket cancellation. So when we type TJQ softy, a date page comes
up here and we get the entire sales
report of everything we've done during that period
with all the airlines. Now let's say we want to see
just what we've worked on. What's the sales report
with a certain airline? In this case, you type TJQSfD and you put the airline
code next to it. For example, Welling
VY, Air France, AF, American Airlines, AA,
Iberia, IB, et cetera. Let's take a case. For example, I want to see what
my sales report is, sales I've made with
the airline VY, and here I'm giving the
date range that I want. Between which start
date and end date, you can put in whatever
dates you want. Let's take an example
I want to see between August 1 and August 30. And there you go. I
have the sales report, everything I've done in
transactions with the airline viewing between August
1 and August 30. So ma'am, I processed a ticket. I issued a ticket
for miss Henry Nadia with the status TKTT. She paid 390 plus
208 euros and I received a commission of
nine euros on this ticket. I also processed a refund with the airline viewing
for Mr. MuliTofik. Okay, I have another
transaction here. I issued a ticket
to Mr. Fela Ali file number 75446 status. TT. It's a ticket that I issued, and during that
time, I processed the cancellation of Mr. Foti Ali's ticket
for some reason. Either I made a mistake with the ticket or he himself
requested a cancellation, Foti Ali for some reason. Either I made a mistake with the ticket or he himself
requested a cancellation. So we've pretty much
presented the types, sales reports that we call here the fortnight by
default of language, but you can put in
whatever date range you want or desire. Just a reminder, if you want a sales report of everything we've done with
all the airlines, we don't write the airline. When you don't put
that, for example, TGQ except from August 1, from January 1 to December 30, you'll get the
entire sales report for the whole year
that has passed. That's it for the station
and the sales report. Now if you want to print any sales report, you
need to display it. Like this, just
like we just did. If you want to display this
or print it on a printer, you just have to type TJP. TJP will send, if you have a printer
connected to your computer, this sales report will be
sent directly to the printer. It's interesting to do this every evening or, for example, every week to see weekly sales reports to
see what we've done, and also it's interesting
to know the total amount of commissions that the agency will receive from
these transactions. There you go. Thank
you very much.
38. - How to display our active reservations by date by airline by flight number: Today we're going
to handle a search for active PNR files. That means if you want to list the passengers
for a certain flight, a specific destination,
and a particular airline, you can get the list of all the passengers on that flight. To do that, we use
the LP command, the passenger list command, LP with the options
going to look at now. But what you need
to know is that the LP function allows you
to pull up active PNRs. Of course, it doesn't apply to flights that are already
past their date. If someone has left
and made a round trip, they've used their
outbound ticket so that round trip won't show up
in the list of passengers. That flight will be archived. So if you want to display a list of passengers
for a certain flight, or from a departure city
to an arrival city, you can definitely do that
and even print it out. How can do that? If you want to
display the list of passengers with the
airline flight number, and date, you type this. LP, for example, F 21 33. September 22, I want the
list of passengers for Air France flight 21
33 on September 22, 233 on September 22 and 23. We'll have the list
of passengers for Air France Flight 21 33. But now if we want
to be more specific, we want to specify
the departure city and the destination city. In this case, it will
be the same thing, LP flight number, the date, the origin, plus
the destination. As we see in the
following example, give me the list
of passengers on Iberia flight 7087
from October 30, connecting Barcelona
and Or Paris. You can also, of
course, if you want, at the level of your agency, display the list of
all active PNRs, meaning the clients
for whom you've issued tickets that
they haven't used yet. You can get the list of all the PNRs you've issued
that are still active. With that, you do LPO. You'll get the
list of your PNRs, the FIs that you've issued. If on the other hand, you
want to print that list, it's applicable to everything
we've done before. When you type ph
Search format six P, that means you've sent
the list to the printer. I'll go back to the
example from earlier. When we say, I want the list of passengers
for VolingFlight 6784 on January 11 connecting
Charles D Gol Madrid, we want to get the
list of passengers. It will not only be displayed, but by adding the six P, it will also be sent
to the printer. Let's do the example now.
Let's do an example. Let's say I want to
display the complete, detailed and comprehensive
list of passengers LP. List of passengers for the Air France flight
21 33 on September 22, connecting Charles
De Gul, Paris, and Barcelona, Spain
for more information. For now, there are three passengers who have
booked on this flight. I have here the file number for each passenger and the first and last names
of the passengers. If I want to display
the passengers PNR now, I just have to type RT, the file number 26650. This will be Stefan Hall's file. And there you go. I have
Stefan Hall's file. He indeed has an Air
France flight 21 33 on September 22 between
Charles De Gal and Barcelona. So it's very simple to display
the list of passengers. If I wanted to print, I can type the same command, LPOs Air France 2133 for the flight on September 22 between Charles De
Gal and Barcelona. When I add the P here, it means that the list will
come out on the printer. We'll have the same list displayed on the screen
and on the printer. Now, if I want to display
all the PNRs that I've issued myself that
my agency has issued, which are still in use, meaning the flights that
have been used won't show up and the flights that have
been canceled won't show up. All that will show up is
all the PNRs I've issued. It's my own list of all the
airlines for all the trips. I just have to type po. I'll have all the
PNRs displayed. It's everything I've issued
that my agency has issued. For these flights, it means that these passengers have flights
that are still active. I'm going to display if I want to show the PNRs
that are active, their files, the whole PNR,
I'll take one at random. For example, let's take M, Alli Red, that will be RT 91. 321, and there you go, M's file. Ali Red shows up and
we have his four PNR. We can see that the FAPAx is atn which means it's
currently in use. This is a light course on how to list the
passenger list for a certain flight with a certain airline
for a certain date. We can also display the list of all the passengers and
then with the file number, find the passengers
PNR. There you go.
