** Command: DECCVI098…/0987/USD432.60/BA (DECC thn CC type thn CC no. /expiration code/currency/add collect/validating carrier
After this we will put add collect per passenger amount in Remarks by RM thn total add collect by RM thn AUTH. Code by RM thn save (rf-er-er-ir)
**command : TQR (to check the add collect amount)….thn TQR/T1
**command : TTH (in order to check the deleted TST)…thn TTH/T1 (to check specific)
**command : RTQ(to check whether the PNR is queued or not)
MCO:
When there is residual in changes place of add collect , MCO comes when new price is lower than the older one , if MCO is less than USD 25 we will not inform this to cx , it will be considered as lost value
After Changes and queuing the PNR and there is a MCO so we will put a remark in RM so we will put remark for the MCO and the residual amount to CAT team.
MCO Is valid for 1 year from the date of issuance of MCO.
We will not use the word MCO with cx…..we will use word credit or voucher…and cx can only use that MCO by calling us and he will not able to see his MCO neither on his account nor the airline website.
MCO cannot be transferred it can be used for the same pax for which it was earlier redeemed. But if there are more than one pax so both and make booking through MCO separately as both have different MCO no.
MCO can be used only used for a new booking it cannot be used in the existing booking.
For new booking in MCO we will use FXR as it gives the best available price.
For MCO redemption there should be same airlines.
MCO cannot be redeemed in parts it can be redeemed in full.
When cx wants to use MCO :In case cx call and says he has a voucher and he want to use that , by rt we will open his pnr and we will check from his pnr if there is mentioned MCO we can check from that, and there will be MCO value , date of issuance , IATA no.
#FXF and FXE can be used only if we already have a ticket no. , and FXR can used in new bookings also.
Redemption of MCO:
We will check the office id we are in thn we will go to the same office id in which booking was made .
we will make new booking by availability command and before pnr creation we will check the amount of new booking and inform the pax so that he can decide he should make the booking or not.
price the ticket with FXR and FXB thn save
thn put remarks with RM , remarks will be : issue the ticket using MCO , MCO no. , MCO amount, kindly charge ….usd after applying MCO
thn queue the PNR by EXR , thn C , thn FTC
Always remember whenever we create a new PNR in case of MCO or purged PNR we will mention the new pnr in voyager , so that next agent can get the details of that.
Cancellation: VI04183D
Coupon status should be in O OR A status
We will check fare basis code i.e. airline policies of the original ticket and when we go for exchange we will check for the open ticket status (it always shows the penalties per pax)
First priority should be through EVR script…..global enhanced EVR.. a page will open everything will be auto filled..in commission we will always put 0 and in penalties we will put the penalties as mentioned in policies per passenger…thn accept…thn it will show do u want to cancel the segments click yes…automatically refund will be initiated. (we have to do it for both passengers separately)
IF EVR doesn’t work we will use EXR ,
Coupon status should be in O OR A status
We will check fare basis code i.e. airline policies (it always shows the penalties per pax) , also check agent help if there is something regarding credit.
Delete the segments by XE
EXR, REFUND, F ,
In case of merchant fare refund time is 7-10 days….and in case of publish fare there are 2 cases a)if GDS is turned on thn it will take 7-10 business days
b) if GDS is turned off : it can take up to 8 weeks
for checking that GDS is on or off we will type the airline name in agent help and check if GDS is allowed or not
Cancellation with credit: (cx can also see this credit in his account)
If airline policies shows non refundable// thn we can provide the option of FTC : FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT REDEMPTION)//in this case we just delete the segments and save the pnr and put the remarks and add retention n line this will put the PNR as open as cx can redeem that from airline website also or call us ,
For checking if cx ticket is available for credit or not//we will check in agent help by putting airlines name and there will be written voluntary cancellation there we will see the eligibility.
STEPS TO REDEEM THE FTC:
1. We will get to know that it is a case of FTC redemption we will see that face of PNR that the segments will be deleted; we can also check the remarks by RTR;
2. Check the ticket image for the original ticket amount
3. Check the availability of new flights as per cx request
4. Select the seats in the same booking class, if the cx wants we can upgrade the class but we can’t downgrade the class.
5. After selecting seats run the ATC for pricing the ticket
6. Finally queue place the PNR using EVR QUICK QUEUE from smart flows
7. Put RM remarks if there is any residual amount for the ticketing team to issue the MCO for that residual amount.
Basic Economy : It is the most restrictive booking classes
In these airlines the basic economy booking class is :
American Airlines : B
Jet Blue: L
United Airlines: N
DELTA: E
ALASKA: X
Aero Mexico : V
#In cancellation full booking will be cancelled , if cx wants to cancel only outbound flights its not possible as if he will cancel outbound return one will get automatically cancelled…and in case cx want to cancel return one we will say cx that please take the outbound flight and come back to cancel the return one.
# IF in case cx or any companion travelling along with the cx is died and not able to travel , so we will ask for the death certificate and the relationship certificate. (will also check vnext for specific airlines 19601)
if the travel is after 72hr or not eminent: we will just ask for email of death and relationship cx from cx and our email team will work on same no raising of SR.
(our team will get back within 72hrs.)
if the travel is within 72hr or eminent travel: So we will delete the segment and thn ask for the email so that cx is not marked as the no show .
#whenever we will get a error secured E ticket record. we have to change the office id.
#Policies on vnext or agent help is called flexible policies.
#In delta airlines , in case of basic economy there will be always a change fee of 99usd in domestic and 199usd in international.
For policies we have to check:
History
Remarks
Policies
Vnext
Retention Line:
In order to not make a PNR expired we put retention Line , we can put retention line for either 180 days or 330 days ,MIS line in the PNR shows that it’s added or not
**Command to check exact date after 180 or 30 days : DD24jul/180 , DD thn todays date thn slash thn 180 or 330
Steps to add Retention Line:
After deleting the segments , go to your smart flow
EXR , misc.. , RT
Put date and it will be added.
#In US POS if new fare is lower thn the old one thn we give MCO and in NON-US POS we gives EMD (electronic miscellaneous document)
Purged PNR:
When we open a PNR with RT command and there is a error that no record find for record locator which means this PNR is purged. So to open that PNR we will do RPP/RLC
IN purged PNR u will not able to find details with normal commands , so for getting the details we have to put RPP/ before the command.
For ex: RPP/RHF (to find the latest ticket no.) , RPP/RHA
IN purged PNR cx already have a ticket but as PNR is purged so we use the same tickets , but in MCO we have to make a new PNR
As PNR is purged but the ticket no. is active to we have to find the latest ticket no. by RPP/RHF , after that we will find the ticket image before opening the ticket image we have to manually switch the office id, in order to pull up the ticket image TWD/TKT thn the ticket no.
STEPS of purged PNR :-
RPP/RLC-PNRNUMBER
RPP/RHF --- TO FETCH TICKET NUMBER AND KNOW THE STATUS
TWD/TKT TICKETNUMBER . (to open the ticket image)
MANUALLY SWITCH TO TICKETING ID TO OPEN THE TICKET,
SWITCH TO OFFICE OID
Type new availability command
price by FXF to check the price and tell to cx if FXF doesn’t work FXF/TKT thn ticket no if doesn’t work fxx
make new pnr , add SR docs , SAVE THE CHANGES
THEN IG TO IGNORE
COPY THE PNR
SWITCH TO TICKETING ID NOW where originally ticket were issued , check OID from FA line
RETRIVE PNR AGAIN
FHE/TICKET NO (add ticket no.) ………….Fha/ticket no….
Fpc(cardtype)(cardno)/Expiration date (when Making new pnr and mco)
NOW PRICE THE PNR (run global enhanced EVR ) , if this doesn’t run thn FXQ.
QUEUE THE PNR (EVR quick queue)
Purge ticket – Pnr is available but ticket is no long available on gds…(ticket no not found error will pop up)..
Recycled pnr-Whenever we put a PNR on Amadeus and it shows the different information on ITINEARY , it means that the PNR is recycled
When Airline would be takeover the ticket
We have to call the airline nd if we are in que more then 10 min then we have to tell the cx same to please wait if they said they didn’t taken over then we have to ask We have to ask latest ticket number nd ticket office id so we can open in GDS from the airline agent
If they said they have taken over then tell airline the situation of cx and warm transfer
First we will call the cx then to airline
40074 verbiages for taken over of ticket

If EVR doesn’t work and we have to do it manually i.e. FXF , but here FXF will not work as outbound is flown , so he have to price with FXF/S1 (FXF thn slash thn segment no.)

Schedule Change:
IN History:
TK (till confirmed) : whenever there is schedule change so al provides an alternative option , so that alternative status would be in TK status.
ERK, it automatically delete the original flight and the alternative flight provided by al will confirmed
( if cx is agreeing with the alt option we will do ERK) , in order to change status from TK to HK , ERK will be used
FXI , It is the ATC command for Schedule Change , it will save the price without any cost
#EVR doesn’t support schedule change
If cx is not agreeing with the alterative option. Check policies on vnext (29331)…there will be 2 options refunds and re protection
Minor Schedule Change: It does not involve reissue it will be automatically confirmed by CIS (corner stone) without consent of cx. Ex: al upgrade the cabin, change in flight no, carrier
Major Schedule Change: ex: If airline downgrade the cabin , non step to connecting flight , change of Airport
American: If Schedule Change is more than 240 min its major , Less than 240 is minor
Delta: If SC is more than 120 its major otherwise minor
United: If SC is more than 120 its major otherwise minor
Lufthansa: If SC is more than 120 its major otherwise minor
If it’s a major change we will see TK in history and if there if TK we will check policies accordingly for refund we will check in refunds
#In case of schedule Change If the travel is greater than 72hrs and as per the policies there are no policies and we try to contact airlines and airlines is not contactable or airline says they need a email , in this case we need to run a script AIRLINE VNA to queue…….we will type all the details in that by asking the needs of cx. And tell the cx that we will get back to you within 48-72hrs.
And in case cx comes and says previous agent told the same thing , we will check the remarks and time limit , thn its beyond 48-72hrs so will be warm transfer to Air schedule Change Team
# Whenever cx is contacting from the airport, we will check the conditions (40085), and we will simply warm transfer.
