How TCP is working

  • The first, second or subsequent exchange before departure – the Fare calculation is created based on the entry >FQ<.

  • The first, second or subsequent reissue after departure – the Fare calculation is created based on the entry with the original ticketing date >FQ.Tddmmmyy<.

  • If the desired Fare calculation is not returned using the entries above, TCP offers more FQ options for automatic calculation such as:

    • the possibility to add PTC (passenger type code – e.g. YTH for youth, SRC for senior citizen etc.) or account code in case of private Fares filed by the carriers.
    • >FQ.Hddmmmyy< = pricing with the fare valid on the date entered and current taxes.
    • >FQ@Fare basis< = pricing with current fare and taxes, specified fare basis used
  • Schedule changes – used in cases such as change of flight, date and routing involuntarily. In this case no calculation is required, but all ticketing data are copied from the previous/original ticket.

  • Manual mask - which can be used by the agent to store the Fare completely manually but without using cryptic entries.

  • For exchanges before departure - the original PNR, where the ticket was issued or new PNR can be used. Then the original ticket number must be entered manually by the agent.

  • Filed Fare and Exchange mask are stored and prepared for exchange/reissue automatically.

  • Filed Fare already stored in PNR can be used as well.

  • There are 3 ways how to collect a penalty:

    • on EMD – SVC element is created and EMD is automatically issued during the exchange/reissue process.
    • as a tax
    • to the Fare as Q surcharge in Fare calculation
  • TCP is checking the name of passenger in PNR with the name of passenger on the original ticket and if it doesn’t match, warning message is displayed.

  • The exchange/reissue of IT tickets – see example later of this manual.
