Creating an Automatic Fare Calculation

You can create a TST with a fare calculation line that includes city and airline codes extracted from the PNR itinerary. Use the following entry: TTK/CBUILD

Response:

The system produces a fare calculation line with zero amounts for the fares and rate of exchange (ROE).

You can add options to this command, such as passenger and segment selection: TTK/S7/P3-4/CBUILD

To enter your amounts, move your cursor up to the beginning of the fare calculation line and insert TTK/C, and type over the information you want to update. When you are finished, press Enter.

Creating a Manual Fare Calculation

When creating a manual fare calculation line, do not include the fare basis. The system will not accept the fare calculation line entered if agent has included the fare basis. The only way to include the fare basis if the agent use the CF- (free flow override).

• For information refer to the Amadeus Help pages HE TST

Use the field identifier C to manually enter the fare calculation line. Here are some guidelines:

• The fare calculation information is entered as free flow text in one entry (up to 248 characters)
• The System checks that you add the word END at the end of the fare calculation
• The date is optional but if you include a date, it must be the first element after the field identifier C. You must include the day, month, and year of departure (for example: 10APR21)
• Separate items in the fare calculation with spaces. The System will omit unnecessary spaces
  • If a letter follows another letter, enter a space in between
    For example: NCE LO WAW
  • If a number follows another number, enter a space in between
    For example: STO AY HEL AY NYC Q5.00 1656.45
  • If a number follows a letter or a letter follows a number, do not enter spaces
    For example: 1OAPR21MKC DL X/DFW DL MIA Q18.60 USD762.79END

Example of a simple fare calculation for a European itinerary:

TTK/CNCE AF PAR382.00EUR382.00END

Example of a fare calculation for a US itinerary which includes the ZP and XF taxes:

Passenger Facility Charges

If you add Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs), you must enter them after the word END and after the free flow information, when applicable. The System will validate the amounts and airport codes.

The ZP tax amount for non-rural airports is optional. When the TST is created automatically and there is enough space, all ZP tax amounts are included under the fare calculation line display. Otherwise, all ZP tax amounts from non-rural airports are omitted.

In a manual fare calculation line, the tax codes ZP and XF (for PFCs) must be entered using the following criteria:

• The tax code XF must be the last tax code entered in the fare calculation line
• The tax codes ZP and XF must be surrounded by spaces
• When the ZP amount is a whole dollar amount, enter the amount as a single digit
• When the ZP amount is a whole dollar amount plus a partial amount (cents), 2 decimal points are required. Example: ZP CLT3.40
• When the XF amount is a whole dollar amount, enter the amount as a single digit
• When the XF amount is a whole dollar amount plus a partial amount (cents), 1 decimal point is required. Example: XF SEA4.5

The amounts of these taxes change periodically. Let's look at an example of a fare calculation entry that includes the ZP and XF taxes:

TTK/CMIA AA CHI473.49AA NYC560.93AA MIA563.72USD1598.14END ZP MIA4.30ORD4.30LGA4.30 XF MIA4.5ORD4.5LGA4.5

Adding Information at the End of an Existing Fare Calculation Line

To add information to the end of a fare calculation line, enter TTK/C+, followed by the information you need to add.

When you use the entry TTK/C+, the System considers the TST manual and removes any existing text following the words "END" and "ROE" in the fare calculation line to replace it with the new information.

Here is an example of an existing fare calculation line:

Response: To add PFCs, enter: TTK/C+XF SEA4.5

To delete the fare calculation, enter: TTK/C. You can also add free flow information with an asterisk (*): TTK/C+* FARE BASIS YOU

Creating a free-flow fare calculation by override

Depending on the settings of the fare calculation option field (FCO) in your office profile, one of the following three options may be available to you.

• If the FCO - Fare Calc Option is set to Y:
  Only edited fare calculation data is authorized. Non edited Fare calculation data including override option is disallowed
• If the FCO - Fare Calc Option is set to N:
  You can enter an edited or a free-flow fare calculation with or without the override indicator
• If the FCO - Fare Calc Option is set to O:
  Edited fare calculation data is required, however, a free-flow override option may also be used

To create a fare calculation with the free-flow override indicator, enter, for example:
TTK/CF-MIA AA SJU199.00AA MIA199.00USD398.00END
