10-Jan-17 Sabre Basic Course Page | 31

Airline Level of Participation is the level that airline can participate in Sabre to meeting their marketing and operations needs in reservations. There are 6 levels where Direct Connect

Availability (DCA) is the highest level and Basic Booking Request is the lowest.

It is important for you as a travel consultant to know the difference of these levels as it would help you in your bookings. Following is the table that summarizes the key points of all level of participation for your easy reference.

DIRECT CONNECT AVAILABILITY (DCA)

This is the highest level of participation. The connectivity tag for this level is DCA.

Sabre provides a seamless link between the airlines’ inventory systems and the travel agencies.

This allows consultants to view up-to-the-second seat availability even with a general City Pair

Availability display, unlike Direct Access whereby an agent has to view Direct Access Availability.

The consultant has to End Transaction within 30 minutes of making the booking, otherwise the seats will be returned to airline inventory.

TOTAL ACCESS (AT / TA)

This is the third to the highest level. The connectivity tag for this level is AT and TA, it is shown in the general availability or CPA (City Pair Availability). AT airline provides record locator but TA airline does NOT.

The consultant must access Direct Access Availability display to view airline inventory in the

For seat reservations to be guaranteed at the Direct Access level, the 3 conditions must be fulfilled.

Consultant MUST make Direct Access Availability request.

Booking MUST be made within 2 minutes of availability response.

The consultant MUST end the PNR within 30 minutes after booking.

ANSWERBACK (AB)

This is the fourth to the highest level. The connectivity tag for this level is AB.

In this level, the PNR information is sent to the airline by Sabre upon End Transaction. The airline has to respond with a secondary record locator within 22 hours. However, the airline can still cancel the requested seats without providing any reason within the first 12 hours.

After 22 hours without response. Sabre will automatically send a Record Locator Request to the airline. If there is no record locator after another 22 hours, the PNR is dropped into the agency’s

Queue 28. When the PNR is dropped into t he agency’s Queue 28, the agency should call the airline to request for the record locator.

PASSENGER NAME RECORD

A Passenger Name Record (PNR) is an automated record of a complete reservation. This record stores all the pertinent details of the client’s itinerary and business relations with the travel agency.

There are five mandatory items needed to create a PNR. Without any one of these five mandatory fields, system will not allow the agency to end transaction. Sabre will generate all relevant information to the airlines, hotels, car rental companies and other travel vendors concerned.

The FIVE MANDATORY Fields are:

ITINERARY FIELD

The Itinerary field contains air and non-air services. Up to nine seats may be sold on host airlines flights and up to four seats on other airlines. Groups of ten or more on host airlines are handled through the airline group desk.

The number of seats that is displayed in Sabre availability is contractually agreed between the airlines and Sabre. Hence, if an airline chooses to display 4 seats in First class, it implies that you can sell to a maximum of 4 seats with a single entry.

When creating the itinerary field, you will use various entries including selling from the city pair availability, Direct Segment Sell (NN), Open Segment (DS), Surface Segment (ARNK

– “arrival unknown”) and Passive Segment (GK).

The Function Identifier is the Segment Sell key, or zero “0”.

An ARNK is used to provide continuity in Itinerary segments. If a passenger does not have any airline reservations within the same PNR for a specific city or arrival to that specific city is unknown, an ARNK is necessary to keep the itinerary in order.

Explanation:

Passenger has a flight reservation for SYD but the return flight back to SIN is from MEL.

In this instance, SYD to MEL is surface whereby an ARNK is needed to keep the itinerary in order.

In absence of ARNK in itinerary, you would experience an error message upon every End Transaction.

This error message is categoriz ed as “Soft Error Response” where you are able still successfully End transaction with a second End Transaction Entry.

ITINERARY MODIFICATION

An existing itinerary can be modified either by the airline or by the travel consultant. When an itinerary has been modified by the airline, it is important that the travel consultant identifies whether the PNR was taken over or localized by the airline system. If so, the travel consultant must be aware that any further changes or modification to the localized itinerary will not be generated to the airline.

NAME FIELD MODIFICATION

Before the VERY FIRST END TRANSACTION of a PNR, you can make changes to the surname and given name of the passengers.

However, for any passengers’ name change in the SUBSEQUENT END TRANSACTIONS, you must call

ALL of the airlines in the itinerary to obtain authorization and procedures. Once the approvals are received from all carriers, you must insert the authorization and other relevant information in the 5H- field. The format of the field is suggested as follows:-

5H-CHNT Correct name AUTH BY SINxx Name of the airline staff

Example: PNR with the itinerary as follows:

1 SQ 12Y 12MAY 6 SINNRT HK1

2 DL 621Y 22MAY 2 NRTSIN HK1

After the approvals are obtained from the airlines, use the 5H- remarks field to indicate the name of the airline staff who authorized the name change.

5H-CHNT Correct name AUTH BY SINSQ Name of the airline staff

5H-CHNT Correct name AUTH BY SINDL Name of the airline staff

Once authorization is given and 5H- fields have been updated, for GIVEN NAME CHANGE, you can proceed to make the changes in the PNR. But for SURNAME CHANGE, you should make the request to Sabre Helpdesk by email.

Before any name change, please adhere to the different procedures advised by the airlines as individual airlines may have a different handling within their systems.

Modify Surname Or Last Name

You are not allowed to change the Surname or Last Name after the PNR is ended.

However, you can still delete a name field item and enter the correct one prior to the very first End Transaction.

Residence Contact

When the PNR has been authorized for another travel agency for ticketing (i.e. when wholesale

Ticketing Function is done, for more details refer to Wholesale Ticketing Function Topic), the other agency’s consultants would be able to view all of the phone fields, including the passenger’s contact in the

Phone Field (if present). Thus, it is not advisable that the client’s contact information is added to Phone

Field especially when a Travel Agency endorses a PNR to another Travel Agency for issuance of ticket.

PNR RETRIEVAL

After a Passenger Name Record (PNR) has been created and saved, the PNR is filed in the

Sabre system. To add new information or make modifications to the PNR, you must first retrieve it.

A PNR may be retrieved up to 48 hours after the scheduled departure time of the last flight segment in the PNR.

Following the retrieval of a PNR, if no changes have been made to the record, an ignore function should be performed to return the record to storage. The work area will be ready for other PNRs or transactions.

3 ways to retrieve a PNR: by name, by Sabre PNR record locator / file address and by confirmed or waitlisted flight details with surname.

The function identifier to retrieve / redisplay a PNR is *

Retrieval By Name

This is the most common retrieval method. If the passenger name is common or there are several PNRs with that name, more specific dates should be used.

PNR RETENTION

A PNR will be completely purged from the system, 48 hours after the last segment is scheduled or flown. If that segment is cancelled, it will continue to be the segment that determines the date in which the PNR will be completely purged. If the PNR is required longer than this period, you may create miscellaneous segment information to retain the PNR. This segment will be printed on the itinerary printout.

To check the maximum 331 days, use this entry:

Retention and with all flight segments used. Please create a new PNR for such cases.

10-Jan-17 Sabre Basic Course Page | 63

SEGMENT STATUS CODE

The status code associated to segments in an itinerary can be grouped into the following 3 categories: Action Code, Status Code, and Reply Code.

Besides travel agents, airlines may make changes to the PNR. These will be reflected in the

Reply Code of the segment concerned. If an airline has taken over the ownership of a PNR, changes made in the airline system will not be reflected in the Sabre system. This is one of the causes of the PNR non-synchronization.

CHANGE SEGMENT STATUS CODE (CSS)

When there is a change to the segment, the airline will send an advice to Sabre. The affected segment will be updated with the Reply Code. For example, when a waitlisted segment is confirmed, the segment code will be reflected as “KL”. You should inform the passenger accordingly and then update the affected segment with correct status code. Without a reply from airline, you should not make any changes to the segment.

You may follow the steps stipulated below.

Step 1: Retrieve the PNR or work on the PNR in the queue。

Following is the sample of PNR:

FREQUENT FLYER

When a Frequent Flyer number is entered into a PNR, a teletype message will be sent to the participating carriers so that the passenger may get mileage credit for bookings made through

Sabre.

Sometimes, the passenger may not travel on flights of the airline of their frequent flyer card.

However, he/she may still able to get his/her mileage credit if the airlines in the itinerary have participating Airline Exchange / Partnership agreements。

Function Identifier for Frequent Flyer entry is “FF”

Check Airline Exchange Agreements

If the passenger’s flight is on airline that is different from the airline of the FF card, you will have to check if the two airlines have an agreement on the frequent flyer program.

For example, Mr. Lim’s FF card is TG123456789. For him to be credited with mileage on the itinerary as follows, you need to check NH’s FQTV Participating Airline Exchange / Partnership agreement to see if NH accepts TG card. You would have to do the same for PG flight that he is taking.

PNR DIVIDE

When one or more passengers wish to change, cancel or modify the itinerary such that it is different from the other passenger(s) of the PNR, you need to divide out the passenger(s) who requested for the changes. As a result, a NEW PNR is created.

Beside the above scenario, you should not divide the PNR or the segments may be cancelled by the airlines.

The divide should be done only after you have received the airline record locator for all segments in the itinerary.

Steps For PNR Divide

It takes 7 steps to complete the PNR Divide process. The steps must be done in order and NO skips should be ignored. Otherwise, you will have to start from step 1.

Sabre Wholesale Ticketing provides the ability for sub-agents to assign their PNRs to other

Sabre Ticketing agents to issue tickets on their behalf. These agents could be wholesalers or associated agents or just any Sabre ticketing agent. This facility however still maintains the high level of PNR security for the original booking agent as it allows only limited PNR data to be transferred.

1

st

Wholesaler

When the PNR is ready for ticketing, the sub-agent can use the 5WT- entry to authorize the wholesaler to retrieve the PNR and issue tickets. After the wholesaler has issued the ticket, the sub-agent should disable the viewership.

Please note that the wholesaler will not be able to see information likes remarks, hotel bookings and history. Similarly, the sub-agent will not be able to see information relating to ticketing.

SmartPrice provides more flexibility in pricing, with a new feature built into the pricing system known as the 'Match' and 'No Match' workflow.

PNR Pricing request is allowed on a completed or incomplete PNR. System is able to price up to 24

segments including surface segments.

PNR PRICING - PRICE LIST (WPA)

Price List prices all applicable fares to a maximum of 12 matched lowest combinations for each passenger type. There are 2 easy steps to complete PNR Pricing.
