Introduction ATC
Amadeus Ticket Changer allows you to automatically recalculate voluntary reissues
and revalidations, and tickets based on the IATA industry standard. This How to
Guide gives you an overview of reissues and revalidations with Amadeus Ticket
Changer?
For your convenience we have included the prerequisites and preconditions for
Amadeus Ticket Changer, the possible itinerary changes with Amadeus Ticket
Changer, Ticket Changer pricing conditions and document issuance, a list of
possible Amadeus Ticket Changer pricing entries, and reissue and revalidation
scenarios using Amadeus Ticket Changer in this How to Guide. For those markets
and airlines that are issuing Electronic Miscellaneous Documents (EMDs) instead
of MCOs, we have included a scenario that illustrates Amadeus Ticket Changer
with EMD issuance.
With Amadeus Ticket Changer you can automatically recalculate voluntary
reissues and revalidations for electronic and paper tickets based on the IATA
industry standard. Once you have made the necessary modifications on your
passenger itinerary and introduced the pricing entries, the system will process the
best pricing solution according to the reissue conditions: a revalidation or a
reissue.
All fares that have the VC. Voluntary Changes category attached in the fare rule
qualify for reissues and revalidations with Ticket Changer. To verify if a fare rule
contains the Voluntary Changes category, enter FQN xx *VC in the Amadeus
distribution system (xx to be replaced by the FQD line number of the fare rule you
want to display). The airlinestipulates in this category whether a ticket can be
reissued or revalidated.
Notes: Wholly unused tickets are available for unlimited
reissues or revalidations (a revalidation can be performed
after a reissue
and vice versa).
Partially used tickets can only be reissued once.
Partially used tickets cannot be revalidated after a reissue.
Several revalidations can take place as long as no reissue
was made after departure
With Ticket Changer you can reissue or revalidate:
E-tickets that have been issued in Amadeus using either the Amadeus Central
Ticketing Server or a third-party ticketing server
E-tickets issued in other GDSs (Sabre, Worldspan, Galileo, etc.)
For a reissue with EMD issuance: An SVC segment and a TSM of the type
P (TSM-P) containing the penalty fee for the reissue or the revalidation, if
there is one.
Once this information is stored in the PNR you can issue all documents separately
(the Penalty TSM, the Residual Value TSM, and the new ticket) or in one combined
ticketing entry. If the ATR field in your office profile is set to 2, you must use the
combined ticketing entry (TTP/TTM). For EMD issuance you must always use the
combined ticketing entry.
In the case of a revalidation, you must issue the revalidated ticket and the Penalty
TSM, if there is one, separately.
Note: If the reissue TST is deleted (TTE) the system also
deletes the corresponding TSMs that have been generated
by the Ticket Changer pricing entry. Only the FO element
remains in the
PNR and must be deleted manually.
If those conditions are not met, you will get an error message and each ticket will
have to be reprised one by one, using mono-passenger Amadeus Ticket
Changer transactions.
For tickets already reissued (Multi-reissue):
Already reissued tickets are allowed an unlimited number of subsequent
reissues under the following conditions:
The ticket is not partially used (if so, it can only be reissued once).
In the case of multiple reissues, previous TSTs and associated records
(TQR, TSMs...), and previous FO elements will be automatically deleted and
replaced with the new ones after the confirmed reprising of the PNR. The
new FO lines are automatically associated to the appropriate segments and
passengers in the case of multi-passenger PNRs.
Travel date
Flight number
Booking class
If at least one of these conditions is not respected, then a reissue will be proposed.
For a reissue, all remaining open coupons from the last flown segment onward
must be reissued together. The itinerary can contain unused segments of the old
itinerary and new segments. In all cases, the complete itinerary to be reissued must
be present in the PNR in order for the new itinerary to be correctly priced with
Ticket Changer.
Also, note the following:
