Glossary of terms The terms in the following list are used in reference materials for the ATPCO Rules system. Each term is explained in greater detail in other manuals.

Area The airline industry divides the world into three areas, also known as Traffic Conferences (TC):

• Area 1: Western Hemisphere • Area 2: Europe, Africa, Middle East • Area 3: Asia, Pacific

Note: The terms Area and Traffic Conference are used interchangeably.

Add-on An amount used only with specified/pubished international fares for the construction of constructed/unpublished international fares. (Also referred to as an arbitrary or proportional fare.)

All-ads A complete copy of an ATPCO data subscription product that is used by subscribers to initialize their database before processing changes or updates. All adds contain both effective and future effective data.

Alternate governing rule A governing rule that applies only when specifically invoked by the fare rule. Alternate governing rules are not referenced in the General Rule Index (Record 0).

Arbitraries The fares (or rates) that may be combined with an international fare (or rate) published to a gateway to create a through-fare. Arbitraries may not be sold separately for travel and are usually published between points within the same country. Also referred to as add-ons or proportionals.

ATPCO Airline Tariff Publishing Company. A corporation owned by various airlines formed to serve as agent for those owners (and for other airlines or vendors) to file and publish tariffs and related products.

Automated Rules System (PAR) ATPCO’s former automated rules and footnote system that provides carriers with remote access. Replaced by the FareManager Rules system in 2011.

autopricing The ability for a CRS to provide eligible fares for a passenger’s itinerary by programmatically processing the data coded in the rules and footnotes. An automated process used to price a ticket without human intervention.


6

batch A unit of work containing a group of transactions that are entered and released to the file, used for describing a set of instructions that are being implemented. Every batch is identified by a 2-character alphanumeric code (based on batch ID of user) plus a control number assigned by the system.

Batch number A number preceded by the alphanumeric ID code of the organization or airline and assigned sequentially by the computer. This number goes on a batch sheet or is used online to be associated with a group of updates or transactions.

Batch status The status applies to all transactions in an online batch. Whenever you release a batch to update the master file, you assign a status to that batch. The three status types are public, private, and incomplete. There are also implementation status terms associated with batches; hold until nightly (a batch of work to be made public by distributions in the last subscription of the day); next (a batch of work to be made public by distribution in the next pull of the day); or secured (released by a specified time or subscriptions pull. Department of Justice regulated fares must be secured to a subscriptions pull that includes CRSs).

booking code One or two letters functioning as an inventory control code. Also called the Reservation Booking Designator (RBD) or prime booking code, it specifies the class of service in which to book a traveler.

byte A portion of a field in an electronic database.

Calculate A computer program that can add, cancel, copy or revise groups of fares or rates

carrier Owner or service provider identified by a standard industry alphanumeric code for each airline.

categories The structure within the Rules system designed to identify various kinds of restrictive information regarding a fare. Restrictions are listed in the Rules section of the database and are sorted by various categories of application such as day/time, season of travel, and flight numbers.

CICS Customer Information Control System. A database of rules and fares information used for automated pricing.

Coding conventions` A set of manual standards established to provide consistency in coding data. (A coding convention is not an actual programming edit.)

CRS Computer reservation system (for example, Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, or SITA). Used by travel agents and others throughout the world. These systems receive coded fare data (which will price electronically) from ATPCO and transmit it to their customers.

data application The industry-endorsed processing laws that apply to ATPCO data for itinerary pricing solutions. Data Application creates an industry standard aligning ATPCO, data providers, and data subscribers for consistent industry-wide itinerary pricing.


7

data table A table used to house rule provisions in the Rules System. See Record 3.

date logic The programmatic handling of effective/discontinue dates on records as mandated by the business rules of a product (such as whether a product permits or does not permit date gaps or prevents date overlaps).

directional markets Two cities on a travel itinerary (city pairs).

domestic Term used when a country’s domestic fares are for travel wholly within that country. At ATPCO, it usually refers to US and CA fares.

edit The portion of a computer program that checks the data being entered against the directory levels or for correct coding format before the master file is affected.

edit errors Records that do not pass the computer check.

fare Not only the amount a passenger pays, it also contains the conditions for travel at this amount (that is, the rules and/or restrictions that must be satisfied in order to qualify for a specific fare). Together, fares and rules form an infrastructure used for autopricing (identifying a fare electronically). A fare has 13 components, including tariff, carrier, rule, market, and amount.

fare class Also called fare basis, it contains three parts: fare class code, explanation text, and booking code. Based on industry standards, the fare class code is an 8-character code that signals fare parameters in an abbreviated form. The fare class also serves as a bridge between the fare and the rule provisions, thus enabling a fare to price automatically. It is usually assigned by the carrier. It usually indicates class of service and may also indicate basic ticketing requirements a passenger must meet to qualify for a given fare, such as day, season, reservation/payment requirements, and fare type.

fare family A method of identifying multiple fare classes within a single entry. In the Category ID, the Fare Class field can be coded with a hyphen to mean "all fare classes that contain these characters." For example, BE-70 means "all BE70-type fares," such as BEX70 and BE1X70. It does not mean BE170.

Fare Class List The record that contains the information that is found for Fare Classes. It specifies booking codes, fare type, ticketing codes, passenger type, season type, and day type. Also known as Record 1 in the Rules product.

fare rule A rule that states the conditions of travel for specific fare classes. As used in this document, the term can refer to rules governing published fares (grouped by categories) or to fares that are contained in the text of a rule (fare-by-rule). The term is used to differentiate between this type of rule and a governing rule. A rule has three components: fare class code, booking code, and category restrictions.


8

fare type A symbolic identification of the characteristics of a fare class, this term provides a way to group similar types of fares. It is directly connected to the rule provisions. (For example, “Instant purchase, nonrefundable” fares will have Category 5 restrictions coded, which state those requirements, and penalty descriptions in Category 16.)

Fare Type Matrix A document used to determine the correct Normal or Special tag, category type code, and fare type code for fare classes.

field The area containing certain data in an electronic database. A specific area on a screen where data can be entered by the user.

filed A status assigned by the system to records that have been filed through GFS—the only records that can be viewed by other carriers in the inquiry mode. Once filed, records are also sent in the next transmission of subscriptions.

Filing A group of revisions for fares and/or rules submitted through GFS. This submission can contain data to be presented to a government for approval. (v) The act of processing data through the GFS system.

Filing Advice Number A reference number or numbers assigned by a carrier to an instruction (e.g., a GFS filing). A logging number assigned within the paper tariff environment by the production department to identify a transmittal or set of transmittals to the DOT.

footnote Used along with categories to further restrict a fare, it usually contains travel dates, sales dates, or other special conditions. An advantage of coding restrictions in a footnote rather than a rule is that a footnote may reside in any fare within its carrier/tariff. Any number 1–99 and any letter other than F and T may be assigned to the footnote. (F and T are reserved to mean travel must be FROM/TO the first city shown in a given market when they are coded in Category 23.)

G30 An ATPCO internal directory that controls the distribution of data in subscriptions.

gateway The last point of departure and first point of arrival within a Geographic Locale as specified below: (Note there is an implied hierarchy in the following descriptions.)

When traveling between areas (1, 2, or 3) the last point of departure and first point of arrival in that area.

When traveling between zones within an area, the last point of departure and first point of arrival in that zone.

When traveling between countries within a zone, the last point of departure in one country and the first point arrival in another country.

GDS Global distribution systems. Companies that use ATPCO products to provide fare information to airlines and other customers.


9

general rule Rule provisions that apply to a specified geographical region or area; consequently, they are separate from the individual fare rules, to be applied in conjunction with the fare rule.

General Rule Index The general rule application: the connection between the coded general rules and the published fare rules (when a fare rule is read during autopricing, this part of the system directs which general rule to apply, if any). Also known as Record 0 in the Rules Product.

GFS ATPCO’s An automated system used by ATPCO to file carrier changes to corresponding governments electronically or for carriers to display or distribute. The changes can consist of fares, add-ons, footnotes, routings, and rules.

GFS FA NO Filing Advice Number of a batch (assigned by the system) that has been submitted through GFS; used for controlling and tracking purposes.

government filing Using GFS, thirteen governments (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, France, Mexico, Panama, Hong Kong, Brazil, Brunei, and Cayman Islands) require new fares regarding their countries to be filed with them for approval. Now electronic, government notification was previously sent by messenger; fares are filed several times daily.

Incomplete A type of batch status indicating that data contained within the batch has not been distributed in the subscription process. See batch status.

international Travel between any two or more unique countries (sovereign states).

Inquiry A viewing facility that allows the display of records in the database file without updating. A carrier using this facility can view all its own records and the public records of all other carriers. An ATPCO analyst can view all records of all carriers.

Instruction The written description and justification to ATPCO from a publishing carrier describing desired changes to a fare rule, arbitrary, footnote routing, or to any other record.

international tariff As used in this document, the term means a tariff whose geographic application is other than within/between the United States and Canada.

journey Entire ticket/itinerary, all points on a ticket.

Justification The economic reason that a carrier wishes to make changes to its rates or fares. All filed changes must be justified either on statutory or short notice.

leg A service of transportation between two consecutive scheduled intermediate stops on any given flight.

Live government A government that has taken action on filings via the GFS system.


10

negotiated fare A fare that is not publicly displayed and distributed, but is offered selectively to customers and agents and which differs from any published fare in respect to level, conditions, or reservation booking designator, or where the commission paid to an agent differs from the standard commission.

P02 International fare class. The directory level that defines the area of applicability in the fare construction process and provides the user with a conversion from directory to fare records (see also directory).

PAR ATPCO’s automated rules system.

Passenger type Codes (PTCs) that specify that a passenger qualifies as a specific type, such as accompanied child, military, standby, senior citizen, or companion. Valid types are displayed on a help screen in the automated rules system and are listed in Appendix A of the Rules user documentation.

PIPPS Passenger Interline Pricing/Prorate System. An accurate and cost-effective automated solution to calculate proration values, retrieve fare and rule data, and resolve interline/pricing disputes from an industry neutral company.

PIT Passenger International Tariffs. A database of international fares information encoded by ATPCO and carriers.

PLF Passenger Local Fares. A domestic US/CA fares database.

Private A type of batch status indicating that data contained with the batch has not been distributed in the subscription process.

PTC Abbreviation for Passenger Type Code.

Public A type of batch status indicating that data contained within the batch has been distributed in the subscription process.

published fare A fare published for use in pricing air transportation from one city to another.

Purge A program that removes expired or unwanted data from the master file.

RBD Abbreviation for reservation booking designator. The prime one or two letter code that is used that is used in a CRS/GDS to identify a fare in availability display.

records Primary computerized information, including rate and fare information used by CRSs during autopricing to validate coded fare information.

Record 0 The general rule application: the connection between the coded general rules and the published fare rules (when a fare rule is read during autopricing, this part of the system directs which general rule to apply, if any). This is also known as the General Rule Index in the Rules System.

Record 1 Fare Class Application record.

Record 2 Category Control segment identifier in the Rules System.


11

Record 3 A data table used to house rule provisions. Contains the actual restriction information sorted according to topics and coded in compartments called categories; for example, Category 2 = Day/time restrictions and Category 3 = Seasonal restrictions.

Record 6 This record type is a source of RBD information. The record contains the identification criteria that must be matched to determine the proper RBD data for that fare. The Record 6 will indicate whether the RBD data being referenced apply for the fare being processed or when transportation is provided by the carrier.

Record 8 This record type indicates the passenger type code and the Fare by Rule that may be created. The record contains identification criteria that must be matched to determine the proper provisions to create the Fare By Rule. Also known as Fare By Rule Index in the Rules system.

routing Restrictions on a fare based on travel routes and defined by routing maps

rule The necessary provisions and conditions under which traveling may occur that meet the special requirements set by a carrier or government regulatory agency. It is linked by fare class to fare record and includes the booking code and categories for a given fare. Carriers choose rule numbers according to their regulations. Rule numbers are an aid in autopricing (see also fare rule).

rule type Code identifying the type of every rule in every tariff:

• Fare Rule (Rule governs published fares) • Governing Rule (Rule governs other rules) • IATA Rule (International: applies to all carriers). • Fare By Rule (Rule governs unpublished fares such as Seamen,

Children, and Family Plan). Sequence A continuous or related series. Mainly used in reference to the

organization of data with categories in the Rules system.

Subs Doc Subscription documentation. Detailed record descriptions and record layouts of ATPCO’s subscription output products, including fares and rules.

Subscription pulls The database of fares and rules is changed constantly and the new information is released to subscribers and the public multiple times daily (hourly for International data and at 1000, 1300, and 2000 for US/CA domestic data).

system assumptions Rules provisions that are assumed to apply (in a rules environment) when not superseded by specific provisions pertinent to a specific fare or fare general rules.

tariff A database that contains data defined by system, geographic scope, and distribution process. Also, tariff is the term used for information filed with governments when a legal filing is required.


12

Note: The ATPCO database is organized by database tariffs: a distinct name identifying the location of information on the hard drive of the database. Grouped by logical areas of the world, they include fares, rules, routing, and arbitrary tariffs. Database tariffs work together to supply an output product for automated pricing.

Other ATPCO uses of the term tariff refer to written fare and rule information including the following:

Published (Public) Tariff – Contains fare and rule data that is available for public inquiry, whereas a private tariff contains fare and rule data that is not: private tariffs have a limited distribution.

Paper Tariff – Officially filed on paper with a government.

Filed Tariff – A term used to specify those filed through GFS with one or more governments. It differentiates these tariffs from non-filed, because there are some requirements and edits that differ based on which type of tariff is being updated.

Non-filed Tariff – A term used to specify tariffs that may or may not be processed through GFS, but are not filed by ATPCO with any government.

Transaction A fare record. A set of data defined in a fares batch that determines the components of a fare.

Transaction File Records in a batch that have not been updated.

Unavailable tag A tag attached to Record 1 stating that the rules are incomplete or cannot be used for autopricing.

Unpublished fare Also called the constructed fare. The result of combined published fares and add-on fares.

Update To make changes to the master file.

Update errors Records in batch processing that do not pass update. The update step applies to the fare son the master file. If there are difficulties, then the fare will not be applied to the master file. Instead, it becomes an update error record. Update errors occur, for example, when a carrier tries to increase a fare that does not exist, cancel a fare that is already canceled, or add a new fare that already exists.

User ID The seven-letter user name for access to ATPCO systems.

trip A portion of an itinerary between two consecutive fare break points (used in domestic tariffs; it is the same as fare component).

TSI Travel segment indicator. A code that further defines a specific portion(s) of travel. They may be used alone or in combination with Geographic Locales to specify the application of a provision for autopricing.


13

update a batch Also called making a batch public or Releasing a batch, this term describes moving the transactions within a batch to the database. Most information that is updated to the database is not autopriceable or received by subscribers unless it is filed in GFS.

validate To authenticate or substantiate a fare component. All newly coded data must be validated before it can be saved.

value added products These products use ATPCO resources such as the database and networks to provide refined electronic products to the airline industry.

values The actual data in each byte that is used to fill (populate) a field.

zones Following industry standards, the areas of the world are subdivided into zones. Zone numbers beginning with 0 or 1 are in Area 1; those beginning with 2 are in Area 2; and those beginning with 3 are in Area 3


14

Record structure

Overview Analysts use Records to build the provisions that support a fare record. The fare record is used by the fare quote system to autoprice a fare.

General Rule Application (General Rule Index)

A General Rule Application record exists in the database for each unique rules tariff, rule number, and effective date. General Rule Index contains one of two types of information:

1. Provides the tariff and rule number of the associated general rule provisions to be applied in conjunction with a fare rule. Example: Fare rule tariff–001, CXR–BA will indicate that for the stopover provisions (Category 8), General Rule IPRG, Rule 0135 applies.

OR

2. Designates each rule number in the database as fare rule, general rule, Fare By Rule, or industry rule.

Fare Class List (Record 1)

For each occurrence of a rules tariff, carrier, rule number, fare class, and effective/ discontinue date, there is at least one Record 1 that conveys the data pertinent to the Fare Class, such as passenger type code and primary booking codes.

In addition, Record 1 will have indicators for the type of fare display in which the fare should be placed as well as indicators used to match to other records in the Rules system.

Category Control (Record 2)

Each category has a Record 2, which contains the identification fields that match to the fare record. The identification fields include information such as market and fare class. Record 2 (Sequence List screen and Single Sequence Segment screen) is the entry screen for entering category information. It is the first screen to appear after a category is selected on the Inquiry/Update Menu screen. It is used to add the sequence numbers and the markets for the data that will be coded in Record 3.

Category Data Tables (Record 3)

This record type contains the actual data that states the provisions for a rule or footnote. Record 3 (Category Data screen) holds all the data for the regulations spelled out in a particular category.

Record 2 and Record 3 are used by the system to identify the rule provisions that make the use of a fare possible.

Processing a fare using General Rule Index, Records 1, 2, and 3 The flow chart that appears on the previous page illustrates the basic “rule building” processing path used by fare quote systems to search the ATPCO Fare Record for coded fare restrictions (rules).

A fare quote system processes a fare by attempting to match a passenger need with fares that are available. The system must identify a fare whose conditions match those which the passenger is presenting. In processing, the system could retrieve multiple fares for the passenger to use. The CRS will select the lowest applicable fare to charge the passenger.

The Fare Quote system looks first at the Fare Record, which identifies the tariff (geographical area of travel), carrier, and rule number that contains that fare class. Then the Fare Class List (Record 1) is searched to try to match the fare basis code to the passenger type, available booking codes, fare types, etc.

The next step is to read the footnote or fare rule provisions. Generally, a fare quote system processes the footnote before the fare rule is searched.

The system then enters the General Rule (General Rule Index), which will indicate the source tariff and rule numbers of the general rule.

Next, the Rules system is searched to match the rule provisions with the passenger need. The CRS system pulls out the fare class data and the general rule and combines that information. When all information is available, the appropriate fare will be displayed.

A match is attempted in the Sequence List (Record 2) for each Category (1–50). If a category has no restrictions (no data) and there is a general rule, the general rule is applied.

Each time the system identifies sequences in the sequence list, an attempt is made to match a sequence in that record, beginning with the lowest-numbered sequence. The system makes an inquiry of each sequence until a match is made. Once a match to a sequence is made, the provisions attached to that sequence apply to the fare. The system will not look for a “better” match. If no match is made to a sequence, and there is no general rule, the category assumption for that category applies. For example, if no day or time restrictions are present in Category 2, there are no restrictions on day or time.

Each sequence could contain one data table or a string of up to 200 data tables that serve as pointers to the category data tables in Record 3, which house the rule provisions.

When a match is made with a sequence on the Sequence List, the system seeks full provision information, which is found in a category data table. When the search of all category data is complete, the restrictions the passenger must meet are established. If there is no match to a data table, the fare should fail validation, and the system will look to other fare possibilities for validation.

18

Standard format of electronic rules Automated fare rules appear in a standardized format and may contain any or all of the categories of information listed below. Conditions that govern fares are found in the applicable fare rule. In addition, general rules, if published on behalf of each carrier, will also apply unless otherwise indicated.

The assumptions, which appear below, apply if a category does not appear in an automated fare rule, or if a specific provision, such as different Combinability journey types, is not addressed.

Category 1 (Eligibility)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THERE ARE NO ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS.

This category is used to define the identification requirements and age range for a particular passenger type, if such conditions exist. It is not used to define the actual passenger types, such as clergy or military, for a fare class. Passenger type information is provided in the Fare Class List.

Category 2 (Day/Time)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE FARE IS AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK.

This category defines times and/or days when travel is permitted. The day/time information applies to origins of trips scheduled to depart during that time period.

Category 3 (Seasonality)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE FARE IS AVAILABLE EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

This category is used to reflect the dates of a specific season or the dates on which a fare is valid. The assumption for applying this category is that a seasonal fare is based on the season of the origin portion of travel. The seasonal level in effect at the origin is used for all subsequent travel regardless of date.

Category 4 (Flight Application)

ASSUMPTION: IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS CATEGORY, THE SYSTEM ASSUMPTION FOR FLIGHT APPLICATION IS THERE ARE NO FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED WITHIN THE ROUTING OR TRANSFER CATEGORY.

This category reflects information regarding the use of a fare on specific flight numbers, types of service (such as non-stop or multi-stop), equipment types and travel via points. It may be used to reflect either positive or negative application of the information.


19

Category 5 (Advance Reservations/Ticketing)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT THERE ARE NO ADVANCE RESERVATIONS OR TICKETING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FARE.

This category is used to define reservations and/or ticketing requirements applicable to a fare for original ticket issue. It will indicate which sectors of travel, if any, must be confirmed prior to ticketing. When time limits exist, it is assumed that these must be met prior to commencement of outbound travel. Advance requirements for ticket revalidation or reissue are not reflected in this category but are reflected in Category 16 (Penalties).

Category 6 (Minimum Stay)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT IT IS ASSUMED THAT THERE ARE NO MINIMUM STAY REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS FARE.

This category specifies the first time return travel may commence. It will also indicate the points to be used in calculating the minimum stay. Unless stated otherwise, it is assumed that the calculation begins at the point of origin and the day of departure is not included. If the point from which return travel may commence is not defined, it will be assumed to be the last point of stopover. Likewise, if outward destination is not defined, it will be assumed that the outward destination is the last point of stopover.

Category 7 (Maximum Stay)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT IT IS ASSUMED THAT THERE IS NO MAXIMUM STAY FOR THE FARE.

This category indicates the last time at which return travel may commence or be completed. When this category is present, it will always specify whether the maximum stay applies to travel commencement from point of return or travel completion. As in Minimum Stay, it is assumed that the points of calculation for Maximum Stay are the day of departure from origin and the last point of stopover unless stated otherwise. Likewise, the day of departure is not included when counting. In no case shall the maximum stay be greater than one year from the date travel commences from the point of origin.

Category 8 (Stopovers)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT STOPOVERS ARE NOT PERMITTED ANYWHERE ALONG THE PASSENGER'S ROUTE.

This category will define the conditions under which stopovers are permitted and the applicable charges. Other than the above system assumption, the following assumptions apply if stopovers are allowed:

1. Stopovers may be made at any point along the carrier's routing.

2. Stopovers are permitted free of charge at the point of turnaround.

3. Stopovers are defined internationally as an interruption of travel for more than 24 hours.


20

Category 9 (Transfers)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT TRANSFERS MAY BE MADE ANYWHERE ALONG THE PASSENGER'S ROUTE.

This category defines the conditions or restrictions under which transfers may occur and the applicable charges, carriers, and locations associated with these transfers.

Category 10 (Combinations)

ASSUMPTIONS: THE FOLLOWING ASSUMPTIONS WILL APPLY UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED:

• Open Jaws/Round Trips/Circle Trips and End-on-End combinations are not permitted. • When Open Jaws/Round Trips/Circle Trips are permitted, unless otherwise stated: • Combinations are permitted with any carrier. • Combinations are permitted with any tariff and any rule. • Combinations are permitted with any round trip or one-way fare. • The Open Jaw segment can be between any two geographic points.

This category deals with combinations that are permitted with specified fares and other fares/end-on-end, round trip, circle trip, and open jaw transportation. It consists of four main and four supporting subcategories. The four main types are as follows:

1. Open Jaws (Subcategory 101)

2. Two Component Circle Trips (Subcategory 102)

3. More Than Two Component Circle Trips (Subcategory 103)

4. End-on-End (Subcategory 104)

The four main types are used to provide specific restrictions for the four supporting types. They are as follows:

1. Carrier Combinations (Subcategory 106)

2. Tariff/Rule Combinations (Subcategory 107)

3. Fare Class/Fare Type Combinations (Subcategory 108)

4. Open Jaw Sets (where open jaws are permitted) (Subcategory 109)


21

Category 11 (Blackout Dates)

ASSUMPTION: IF THIS CATEGORY IS NOT PRESENT THE FARE IS NOT SUBJECT TO BLACKOUT DATES.

CATEGORY 35 IS USED TO IDENTIFY THE TICKETING, SECURITY, AND FARE CREATION REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE FOR NEGOTIATED FARES AND MAY ALSO BE USED FOR OTHER PRIVATE FARES.

IN THE ABSENCE OF CATEGORY 35, THE FARES ARE NOT NEGOTIATED FARES. THERE WILL BE NO GENERAL RULES CODED FOR CATEGORY 35.

The presence of a Category 35 provision with a specific Record 1 identifies the fares referenced as Negotiated Fares. These fares will be marked in Record 1 by the use of selected values in the Display Type field. Fares without these Display Types may have a Category 35, but they are not Negotiated Fares.

Coding Category 35 will focus on the three main sections of the Category:

• Ticketing/Commission • Security • Fare Creation

Sequencing hierarchy The following hierarchy for the Sequence List (Record 2) is the suggested way to order sequences. Special circumstances may require different sequencing. The key to determining sequence hierarchy is to code the most specific provisions first (lower sequence number) and general provisions last (higher sequence number). For unlisted combinations, consider the placement in the chart below.

General Sequence

Specific/Inclusive Hierarchy Sequencing Information: Zones 001, 004, 006, 007, and 008 are included in N US and must be coded before N US. Zones 001-009 are included in Zone 000 and must be coded before Zone 000. Zones 171 and 172 are included in Zone 170 and must be coded before Zone 170. Zones 211 and 212 are included in Zone 210 and must be coded before Zone 210. Coding Convention Sequences with seasonal indicators such as H, J, or O should be consolidated and coded consecutively.


27

Definitions of terms relevant to TSIs It is important to understand the terms used in TSIs. Below are the most common terms associated with TSIs.

domestic Within a sovereign state (IATA country code). The proposed new definition would exclude travel between the United States and Canada or within Scandinavia as domestic. The general consensus at the last meeting was that ‘”within any one IATA country code” would define domestic. There was also a question on whether this included territories. The participants agreed that if a territory has its own IATA country code it would not be considered domestic travel. If a territory does not have its own IATA country code, it would be considered a part of the sovereign state and would be in the domestic definition. For example, travel between US and PR/VI is now considered domestic.

destination Ultimate point of a journey. When destination is used in a fare rule, general rule, or Rule 2, it will be necessary to review the carrier’s definition of that term. If no definition is included in the tariff, it will be necessary to obtain a definition from the carrier.

fare destination Ultimate point of the priceable unit.

fare component A portion of an itinerary between two consecutive fare break points. (Same as trip but used in international tariffs).

gateway Last point of departure and first point of arrival within a geographic locale as specified below.

Note: There is an implied hierarchy in the following descriptions.

• When traveling between Areas (1, 2, or 3), the last point of departure and first point of arrival in that area

• When traveling between zones within an area, the last point of departure and first point of arrival in that zone

• When traveling between countries within a zone, the last point of departure in one country and the first point of arrival in another country

Note: When fares cross multiple IATA Areas, for example, NYC—BOM via PAR (Area 1 to Area 3 via 2). The departure from Area 1 (NYC) and the arrival in Area 3 (BOM) are considered the gateways and not the intermediate via points in Area 2 (PAR).

TSIs 06 “Departure from Gateway” and 12 “Arrival at Gateway” have an implied addition.

• For 06 it is Departure from departure Gateway • For 12 it is Arrival at arrival Gateway For example, if the itinerary is PWM—BOS—LON—EDI and return, category data table with TSI 06 would be stating “departure from [gateway] BOS” outbound and “departure from [gateway] LON” inbound.”


28

A category data table with TSI 12 would be stating “arrival at [gateway] LON” outbound and “arrival at [gateway] BOS” inbound.

international Travel between any two or more sovereign states (utilization of IATA country codes).

journey Entire ticket (all points on a ticket).

origin Initial starting place of the journey as shown on the ticket.

fare origin Initial point of a priceable unit.

overwater When crossing a water mass within Area 1, the portion of travel from the last point of departure within the continental US/CA to the first point of arrival outside continental US/CA, and/or the last point of departure outside the continental US/CA to the first point of arrival within the continental US/CA. this definition applies specifically for the following points:

• Between continental US/CA and Hawaii • Between continental US/CA and Alaska • Between US/CA/Hawaii/Alaska and Puerto Rico/Virgin

Islands • Between Alaska and Hawaii

point of turnaround Farthest geographical fare break point from the priceable unit’s origin.

priceable unit Two Definitions: 1) A one-way fare which is qualified in its own terms independent of any other fare component.

2) Combination of two or more fare components where one or more of the components is dependent upon all the others to qualify for autopricing.

sector A portion of a journey covered by a single flight coupon (same as a segment but used in international tariffs).

segment A portion of a journey covered by single flight coupon (same as a sector but used in domestic tariffs).

stopover As defined in a carrier’s tariff, including point of turnaround.

transatlantic Transportation between Area 1 and Area 2/3 via the Atlantic Ocean.

transborder Transportation between the 50 United States, including the District of Columbia, and Canada.

transoceanic Transatlantic and/or transpacific travel.

transpacific Transportation between Areas 1 and 3 via the Pacific Ocean.

trip A portion of an itinerary between two consecutive fare break points (Same as fare component but used in domestic tariffs).


29

Category application assumptions Each category is distinguished as being Pricing Unit/Journey–based or Fare Component–based.

Pricing Unit/Journey category restrictions apply to either a combination of two or more fares or to a single one-way fare.

Fare Component category provisions apply between consecutive fare break points only.

Maximum Stay is an example of a Pricing Unit/Journey category, and Day/Time is an example of a Fare Component–based category.

Note: All category assumptions can now be found in the Fare Manager Help.

Classification of TSIs

The list of TSIs appropriate for a category may be viewed by clicking the button near any TSI field. Each TSI has a specific meaning and many show an (I) or (D) to indicate whether it is to be used in International or Domestic tariffs. The list below indicates whether the TSI is Fare Component–, Pricing Unit–, or Journey-based.

33

TSIs and category applications Most TSIs are applicable for either type of category; however, some TSIs are specifically designed for a Pricing Unit/Journey and therefore are inappropriate in a Fare Component category. TSI 01, which states “Departure from fare origin,” is an example of a Pricing Unit/Journey TSI.

Under certain circumstances a Pricing Unit/Journey TSI will be permitted as valid coding in a Fare Component category because additional coding is overriding the system assumption for that category. The result is a change to the category application to be that of a Pricing Unit.

Example: A TSI 01 “Departure from fare origin” can be coded in a Fare Component category to override the system assumption and allow the category to apply as a Pricing Unit/Journey

The assumptions that must be followed when processing TSIs are listed below:

1. A Pricing Unit TSI cannot override the fare component application of a category. 2. Journey-based TSIs are outside the bounds of Pricing Unit. They refer to the entire journey

and include all fare combinations/fare constructions written on the ticket for the journey. Journey-based TSIs always override the application of the category and will result in the provision being applied for the entire journey. A Journey TSI cannot override the fare component application of a category, except in the instances listed in numbers 3 and 4.

3. A fare component TSI cannot override the pricing unit application of a category. 4. In a qualifying conditional IF set, the main category takes on the application of the

qualifying category. For example, if Flight Restrictions is an IF clause from Combinations, then Combinations is applied as a Fare Component instead of a Pricing Unit category.

TSIs and geographic locations When a category data table contains a TSI and/or Geographic Locale, restrictions are validated against the portion of travel specified by the TSI rather than against the portion of travel identified by the category assumption. It is important to know the relationship between the TSI and Geographic Locales/Types.

The application of Category Data Tables when the TSI field, the Geographic locale/Type fields, or both of the fields are coded is described below. This section explains the match process that occurs when validating rule data.

1. NO TSI AND NO GEOGRAPHIC LOCALE Apply the category restriction according to the category processing assumptions.

2. NO TSI WITH GEOGRAPHIC LOCALE

If the geographic locale matches a portion of travel, then the category restriction will apply where the match occurred.


34

Example: Itinerary: LAX—NYC—LON, and a LAX—LON fare is being priced. In Day/Time, the data table contains a Geographic Locale of NYC and no TSI is coded; therefore, the day/time application restriction will be applied to NYC. If the geographic locale does not match a portion of travel, then there is a “no match” to that category data table. Example: Itinerary: LAX—NYC—LON, and a LAX—LON fare is being priced. In Day/Time, the data table contains a Geographic Locale of BOS and no TSI is coded, therefore the day/time application restriction of this data table will not match the fare in question. This result is considered a “no match.”

3. TSI AND NO GEOGRAPHIC LOCALE If the TSI matches a portion of travel, then apply the restriction at that portion of travel where the match occurs. If the TSI does not match a portion of travel, then the result is a “no match.” Example: Itinerary: ATL—LAX—HNL, and an ATL—HNL fare is being priced. In Seasonality, the data table contains a TSI 07 (“departure of the overwater segment”) and no Geographic Locale is code; therefore, the seasonal application restriction will be applied in LAX. If the itinerary and the fare is ATL—LAX, and the data table in Seasonality contains a TSI 07 and no Geographic Locale is coded, the result is a “no match.”

4. TSI WITH GEOGRAPHIC LOCALE If the TSI and the Geographic Locale match a portion of travel, apply the restriction at that portion of travel where the match occurs. If the TSI and the Geographic Locale do not match a portion of travel, then the result is a “no match.”

Edits for TSIs The four category edits that exist for TSIs are described below.

1. TSIs will not be valid in any date override tables.

2. TSIs within geographic spec tables will be as follows: • TSIs 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 46, 61, 64, 65, 68, and 70 include the text “geographic type”

and require an entry in the Geographic Type field. An entry in the Geographic Locale field is not permitted. The TSI field cannot be coded on its own.

• TSIs 24, 33, 49, 50, 57, 71, and 72 include the text “geographic locale” and require an entry in both the Geographic Locale field and the Geographic Type field. The TSI field cannot be coded on its own.

3. If a TSI is Pricing Unit–based, and is coded in a Fare Component–based category, then the TSI can be considered not applicable.

4. All TSIs that apply for gateways should be valid only for international tariffs. ATPCO will attempt to validate this condition whenever possible.

5. Any TSI that is not a Pricing Unit/Journey TSI or a Fare Component/Pricing Unit TSI will not be permitted in Minimum Stay or Maximum Stay. If an incorrect TSI is coded, an error message will appear when the user attempts to validate the screen.


35

Directionality and Inbound/Outbound Indictors

Terms

• Directional Fare Directional fares are published with a directional indicator (either on the fare record or footnote). Directional fares are usually international.

• Non-Directional Fare Non-directional fares are published without a directional indicator (neither on the fare record nor footnote). Non-directional fares are usually domestic.

Directionality: From/To/Originating The Directionality field is a match field, indicating that the associated Record 3 (Details) data table applies only when travel for the fare component being validated matches the specified direction. When directional indicators (DI) are used, locations must be coded in the Record 2 (Sequence List) sequence because the directional indicator is based on travel either From, To, or Originating from the point specified in the Location field.

Directional indicators are as follows:

• Travel From Loc 1 = Value 1 • Travel to Loc = Value 2 • Fares Originating Loc 1 = Value 3 • Fares Originating Loc 2 = Value 4 From LOC 1 and To LOC are based on the direction of travel within the fare component, regardless of how the fares were selected.

Example 1

Directionality: From LOC 1 and To LOC 1

The Record 2 sequence had a LOC 1 of ATL and LOC 2 of LON:

ATL LON (Round trip)

From LOC 1 = Apply the information ATL—LON (travel from ATL to LON only).

From LOC 2 = Apply the information LON—ATL (travel from LON to ATL only).

Originating LOC 1 and Originating LOC 2 are based on origination, which is determined by the origination point of the fare component when the fare is used outbound and the destination point of the fare component when the fare is being used inbound.


36

Example 2

Directionality: Origination LOC1 and Originating LOC 2

The Record 2 had a LOC 1 of ATL and LOC 2 of LON:

ATL LON (round trip)

Originating LOC 1 = Apply the information to the ATL—LON and LON—ATL fare components.

Originating LOC 2 = Data does not apply because travel on this fare originates in ATL.

Inbound/Outbound (for Non-Directional and Directional Fares) The Inbound/Outbound (I/O) field is a match field, indicating that the associated Record 3 (Details) data table applies only when travel for the fare component being validated matches the specified inbound/outbound condition.

The application of Outbound and Inbound is based on whether the fare is non-directional or directional.

Non-Directional fares

Review all fare break points within the pricing unit and measure each of those points from the point of origin of the pricing unit to determine the furthest geographical fare break point (point of turnaround).

Outbound = All fare components within the pricing unit prior to the furthest geographical fare break point.

Inbound = All fare components within the pricing unit after the furthest geographical fare break point are considered Inbound.

Example 1: Non-directional fares

ATL MSP

The above itinerary is priced using non-directional fares to form a round-trip pricing unit.

The furthest geographic fare break point from point of origin ATL is MSP. Outbound fare component = ATL—MSP

Inbound fare component = MSP—ATL


37

The Record 2 (Sequence List) had a LOC 1 of ATL and LOC 2 of MSP:

When reviewing directionality originating LOC 1, originating LOC 2 on the above Record 2 (Sequence List) for the ATL—MSP fare component:

Orig LOC 1 = Match. Determination of origination is based on the origin point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used outbound. This example matches because ATL—MSP is an outbound fare component and the origin of the fare component is ATL.

Orig Loc 2 = No-match. Determination of origination is based on the origin point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used outbound. This example does not match because ATL—MSP is an outbound fare component and the origin of the fare component is ATL.

When reviewing directionality originating LOC 1, originating LOC 2 on the above Record 2 for the MSP—ATL fare component:

Orig LOC 1 = Match. Determination of origination is based on the destination point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used inbound. This example matches because MSP—ATL is an inbound fare component and the destination of the fare component is ATL.

Orig Loc 2 = No-match. Determination of origination is based on the destination point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used inbound. This example does not match because MSP—ATL is an inbound fare component and the destination of the fare component is ATL.


38

Directional fares

The determination of outbound and inbound is based on fare selection when matching outbound/inbound rules for directional fares.

Outbound = All fare components selected in the direction of travel.

Inbound = All fare components selected in the opposite direction of travel.

Exception: For Open Jaw pricing units consisting of two fare components, the second fare component is always considered an inbound fare component.

Example 1: Directional fares

ATL LON

(The dashed arrow indicates the direction of fare selection and the solid arrow indicates the direction of travel.)

The above itinerary is priced using directional fares to form a round-trip pricing unit.

Outbound fare component = ATL—LON (fare is selected in the same direction as the passenger’s travel)

Inbound fare component = LON—ATL (fare is selected in the opposite direction as the passenger’s travel)

The Record 2 had a LOC 1 of ATL and LOC 2 of LON:

When applying directionality originating LOC 1 and originating LOC 2 on the above Record 2 (Sequence List) for the ATL—LON fare component:

Orig LOC1 = Match. Determination of origination is based on the origin point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used outbound. This example matches because ATL—LON is an outbound fare component and the origin of the fare component is ATL.

Orig LOC2 = No-match. Determination of origination is based on the origin point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used outbound. This example does not match because ATL—LON is an outbound fare component and the origin of the fare component is ATL.


39

When reviewing directionality using originating LOC 1 and originating LOC 2 on the above Record 2 for the LON—ATL fare component:

Orig LOC1 = Match. Determination of origination is based on the destination point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used inbound. This example matches because LON—ATL is an inbound fare component and the destination of the fare component is ATL.

Orig LOC2 = No-match. Determination of origination is based on the destination point of the fare component (ATL) when the fare is being used inbound. This example does not match because LON—ATL is an inbound fare component and the destination of the fare component is ATL.

Processing for Directionality and Inbound/Outbound Directionality and Inbound/Outbound are match fields that are used to determine when (on what part of an itinerary) each portion of the recurring segment should be used. These fields do not alter the application of a category from fare component, pricing unit, or journey; rather, that application occurs within the category’s Record 3 (Details). When data is present in both the Directionality and Inbound/Outbound fields, processing must match both fields in order to apply the associated Record 3 (Details) data table. When the system fails to match the Directionality and Inbound/Outbound fields for a table, then processing will read on to the next OR table, AND table, or Set.

General rules A carrier’s general rule applies whenever coding is absent in a category.

Automated general rules are reflections of a carrier’s paper general rules in filed tariffs and carrier’s requests in AllFares tariffs. An automated general rule that is coded for a category will always apply unless something is coded in a category of a fare rule to override it.

When a carrier designs a general rule, they do not have to state provisions for every category for every fare rule. The analyst knows to check the carrier’s general rule before filing a fare rule so that the carrier’s intent will be expressed.

Overview of general rules Electronic fare rules appear in a standardized format and may contain any or all of the categories of information. Conditions that govern fares are found in the applicable fare rule. Also, additional provisions may be found in the carrier’s general rules. These general rule provisions will apply unless data coded in the category overrides them.

It is very important to understand the impact of general rules in the automated quote process. There are three types of general rules at ATPCO: paper general rules, electronic general rules, and automated general rules. It must be remembered that all of these types reflect the same information, but they reside in different parts of the ATPCO system, or are found only on paper.

Automated general rules are reflections of carriers’ paper general rules in filed tariffs and carriers’ requests in AllFares tariffs. The following diagram illustrates the relationship between all three types of general rules. This section presents information on the shaded area.

The purpose of automated general rules The advantage of coding an automated general rule in a category is that the coding is only done once for the whole tariff, but it affects the autopricing whenever a fare in that tariff is validated. Because automated general rules reside in the Rules system, they appear in text just like regular category data. The difference is that they apply to all the existing rules within each tariff to which a general rule is attached. Coding a general rule avoids the necessity for the carriers to instruct or code the same provisions in certain categories in each of their rules.

For example, if a child (CNN) is always given a 67% discount, this information may be coded in their general rule for Category 19. The automated general rule provisions will override the system assumption and automatically apply when those categories are blank. The following example illustrates the benefit of having automated general rules.

Example of general rule application

The role of the General Rule Index Automated general rules are coded in the Rules system in different, general tariffs. So, for the fare quote systems to apply an automated general rule, it is essential to have a link between the general tariff and the tariff for which it will be used in validating a fare. This link is General Rule Index. It points to the applicable automated general rule.

If, in the example above, the IPRA General Rule Index is coded to point all IPRA rules to IPRG/0064/Category 12, then all IPRA fare rules will automatically point to the provisions in that Category 12. Conversely, if the General Rule Index does not exist, the fare rules will not automatically apply the general rules provisions. The system assumption or coded rule provisions will apply instead.


43

How to look at the General Rule Index for general rules Step 1. Access the FareManager Rules application.

Figure 1: FareManager Rules system Home page

Step 2. In the Select Data drop-down menu, select General Rules Index. Type Carrier Q0

and the fare rule tariff (published tariff) IPRA. Click .

Figure 2: Find or Create tab


44

Figure 3: General Rule Index Screen

In Figure 3, the General Rule Index appears for the selected Carrier and Rules Tariff. General Rule Index connects the automated general rules to the published fare rules. In other words, when a GDS reads a fare rule, General Rule Index tells the GDS which general rules to apply.

Note: Each Carrier/Tariff may have a different General Rule Index. Make sure that you check the General Rule Index for the applicable tariff.


45

Viewing the coded General Rule Index rule provisions In order to view the provisions of each automated general rule, you will need to select the link under the column of Governing Rule. This will automatically take you to the Record 2 for the selected Governing Rule/Category

Step 1. Determine the category number, rule number, and source tariff. For example, if you would like to view the general rule provisions for stopovers, the Category would be 8, the Rule Number 0008, and the Source Tariff IPRG. Click the grey prompt to open the Record 2 for that source tariff, rule, and category.

Figure 4: General Rules Index


46

Figure 5: Sequence List

Step 2. Right-click and view text or view data for that source data.

Figure 6: Category text


47

Coding that affects a category’s general rule The fields on the Sequence List screen determine what information to apply and how to match or reject the information found in the fare rule, footnote, and the general rule.

If the Sequence List (Record 2) in a fare rule states Category Not Applicable, this statement indicates that the system assumption for both the fare rule and the general rule should be applied.

If the Sequence List (Record 2) in a fare rule specifies an Alternate General Rule (meaning a source tariff and rule need to be examined), this information should apply in place of any information stated in the General Rule for this carrier/tariff. If there is a match to this alternate general rule information, that data would apply. If there is no match, the category system assumption would then apply.

Note: Additional information regarding the manipulation of general rules for a category appears in the FM300 manual.

Manipulating automated general rules The system assumption for most categories states that when any of these categories are absent or not applicable, the provisions in that category do not apply. However, many carriers have a general rule that stipulates certain provisions in a category are to apply whenever a rule appears in the tariff in which the general rule is coded.

When a carrier has a general rule for a particular category, it is stored in General Rule Index and will apply automatically unless other restrictions are coded in the applicable category that will override the general rule. An analyst should always check for a general rule in each category being coded. Knowing the details listed in a general rule saves coding time, since the instructed provisions for a new fare may already be coded in the carrier’s general rule.

It is important to check the carrier’s General Rule provisions (General Rule Index) to see if Category restrictions exist. If General Rule provisions are coded, the system assumption will not be applied.

Whether or not the carrier has a general rule regarding category provisions will affect how those categories are coded. For example, in discount categories when the carrier wishes to state “No Discount,” that information would be coded in one of the following ways.


48

General Rule Coding Reason

No General Rule Blank System assumption for discount categories is no discount.

General Rule N/Provisions coded When the carrier wishes to specify different discounts than those that appear in the general rule for this or any other tariff, those provisions are coded and the General Rule is negated.

General Rule Hard Code: SRC-No Discount

When some but not all discounts that appear in a general rule are to be applied, hard code to negate those discounts which are not to be applied, and all other discounts from the general rule will apply. For example, if a carrier has discounts in Category 22 for SRC, YTH and DIS in its general rule but does not want a discount for senior citizens in the rule being coded, the analyst has the option of hard coding “SRC-No Discount.” Then those with a PTC of SRC would not receive a discount, but the general rule allowing discounts for youth and disabled would still apply.

Using general rules allows carriers to code preferred provisions only once in a tariff—rather than coding the same provisions in each of several rules. However, sometimes those preferred provisions must be altered in individual rules within that tariff. In this case, the carrier must answer the following questions in order to determine how to address the general rule for that category:

1. Are the new provisions to be applied in addition to the general rule which has already been coded? When both are to be applied (an option that is available in Categories 5, 11, 12, 15 and 16), the analyst codes the new provisions and the CRS will apply those plus all applicable general rule provisions.

2. Are the new provisions to replace the general rule? In this circumstance, the general rule is negated on the Summary screen and new provisions are coded to replace its provisions.

3. Should the system assumption of the category apply instead of the general rule? In this circumstance, NOT APL is coded so that the general rule will not apply, and the system assumption for the category will apply instead.


49

General Rule Negated on Summary screen

If provisions other than those in the general rule are desired, those provisions are coded on

the Record 2 sequence screen, and the is populated. This action negates the general rule so that the general rule provisions will not be applied.

Figure 7: Sequence List screen

Note: The negate function is only permitted when there is at least one data table for the segment and when the N/A field is blank. This coding means that the data in the table(s) applies instead of the general rule.


50

General Rule is Not to be Applied (NOT APL)

If the system assumption is desired in place of the general rule provision, the General Rule is not to be Applied (NOT APL) function is used.

NOT APL on the Summary

On the Summary screen, populate the field.

Figure RCR- 8 Summary screen

Note: When the Not APL field is populated, the sequence cannot contain any other coded data.


51

ALT General Rule (Alternate General Rule Supplied)

A carrier can also supply an alternate general rule by pointing to a different general rule that they would like applied to the current fare rule. These alternate general rules will never appear on their General Rule Application list. This information must be coded on the Sequence List (Record 2) screen (in Figure 9) in the View All Columns mode.

Figure 9: Summary screen


52

Discounts ATPCO supplies everything necessary for coded discounts to apply automatically. However, some carriers do not wish to state specific discounts within the fare rule. These carriers offer a variety of discounts based on several conditions such as type of travel, class of service, and carrier ownership control. These discounts may change frequently, and the carrier may not wish to make them public. Agents are alerted by a note text table that discounts apply, and they are instructed to contact the carrier for details. In this case, the carrier’s reservation agents use company manuals of discount information at the time of the individual reservation. These manuals are frequently updated to maintain the complex structure of the discounts.

See the Manipulating General Rules section for additional information on negating or using the Not APL and ALT General Rule function.

Category 19 (Children’s Discounts)

When a child or infant is traveling with an adult, it is assumed that the child/infant must travel in the “same compartment” for “all flights” with an adult at least 12 years of age unless otherwise instructed. Therefore, normally the Same Compartment and All Flights checkboxes will be selected. The Passenger type for the adult accompanying the child is ADT.

Note: Adult is assumed to be 12 or over, so 12 should be typed in the Minimum Age field.

Because the age is assumed to be 12, the age will not appear in text unless the minimum age is a different number. In that case the age will appear with the following text: “Must be accompanied on all flights in same compartment by adult 18 or older,” if the minimum age is 18.

Almost every carrier has a General Rule for Category 19 because they use the same discounts for children in most rules. If the new provision in Category 19 differs entirely from the General Rule, or if there is no General Rule, four tables must be coded: accompanied child, unaccompanied child, infant with a seat, infant without a seat. Otherwise, only the discounts that are different from the General Rule must be coded. (See example below.)

When the carrier states “children,” usually four tables must be coded with appropriate discounts: CNN, UNN, INS and INF. Code using Reso 100 or the cue sheet. Tables are linked with OR. Carrier may also specify the number of children that are permitted at this discount in the Occurrences field.

Normally all four types of children are coded in different tables when there are discounts for children. The passenger type code CNN restrictions should always be coded first. Below is a list of the most common discounts for children.

50% CNN (Accompanied child) Age 2-11 50% UNN (Unaccompanied child) Age 5-11 or 8-11 50% INS (Infant with seat) Under 2 10% INF (Infant without seat) Under 2

Category 20 (Tour Conductor Discounts)

Most of the information above regarding discounts applies in this category also; however, discounts applying to tour conductors must be coded in Category 20. The system


53

assumption is that no discounts apply; therefore, no coding is necessary if no general rule exists.

Category 21 (Travel Agent Discounts)

Most of the information above regarding discounts applies in this category also; however, discounts applying to travel agents must be coded in Category 21. The system assumption is that no discounts apply; therefore, no coding is necessary if no general rule exists.

Category 22 (Other Discounts)

All other types of discounts (other than children, tour conductors, and travel agents) must be coded in Category 22. For example, youth (YTH), students (STU), or passengers using two seats. These discounts are often found in the carrier’s general rule.

Carriers have the option to use a fare in conjunction with Category 1 or Category 22 to provide discounts to certain travelers. For example, a youth fare could be filed by giving it a specific fare, THXYTH, with passenger requirements listed in Category 1. Or, the carrier could file an adult fare, THX and include a Category 22 provision for a youth fare which specifies charging 75 percent of the adult fare THX adding ticket designator YTH.

Free-form text is the same for all categories and has been discussed in earlier categories. Directionality varies by category.

Note: Each carrier has a cue sheet. These permanent instructions describe provisions that apply to every rule in the specified tariff. The coding described in a cue sheet will be followed in every circumstance, except when a carrier specifically instructs the analyst to ignore cue sheet instructions. Carriers may request a copy of their cue sheet from ATPCO at any time.


54

Reconciliation between the general rule, fare rule, and footnote When automated general rules are coded, the carrier may choose one of the following:

1. Apply the automated general rule provisions for all the rules within the tariff (and leave the affected categories blank).

2. Apply coded provisions within individual categories and negate (N) the automated general rules.

3. Apply the system assumption for the categories and Not APL the automated general rule to prevent them from applying.

4. Apply an alternate general rule (ALT General Rule) from another source.

5. Apply both coded provisions and the automated general rule provisions.

The first step in reconciliation of the General Rule, Fare Rule, and Footnote is to create a combined rule. The combined rule consists of the data contained within the fare rule and general rule. This includes Category Not Applicable, Alternate General Rule, and General Rule Application. If reconciling between the fare rule and the general rule and the General Rule Application is not set, both conditions should be then applied to the combined rule as if they were a single thought.

Note: Information on how to use Negate, Not APL or ALT General Rule to affect the automated general rule provisions is covered in the FM 300 manual.

The processing logic will follow the path shown on the following page.

If both the fare rule and general rule conditions apply as if created within one data table, apply only the information from the fare rule. The exception is made for Categories 5, 9, 11, 12, 15, and 16, where both sets of information will apply.

If a combined rule consists of the fare rule, general rule, and footnote for any given category, the data within the footnote will override the data in the fare rule or general rule. An exception is made for Categories 11, 12, and 15, where the fare rule, general rule, and footnote will apply.

IATA Reso 100

Overview IATA normal and special fares follow a standard condition principle. Resolution 100 is the Resolution of Standard Conditions mandated by IATA to be used as a guide when coding rules in special fares.

Note: Normal fares occasionally follow IATA Standard Condition Resolution, but they use Reso 101.

The purpose of Reso 100 is to serve as a guide when coding all categories in rules that follow IATA conventions, except as specifically instructed by a carrier.

Reso 100 is primarily used by non-US carriers, that file tariffs in the AllFares section of the database, that is, AllFares except those to or from US/CA. Using Reso 100 provides conformity for the fares for all the carriers in one part of the world, thus making it easier for the reader to compare them. Carriers have the option of applying all, some or none of this data.

The carrier may also choose to create its own guidelines, specific to its needs. That information would be placed in a carrier’s cue sheet.

The same 29 standard paragraphs are used both in Resolutions 101 and 100, as well as in all normal and special fares resolutions (categories). Categories 6 and 7, for example, each use two TSIs to describe how to measure the minimum and maximum stays. Reso 100 informs the analyst of the TSIs that are most commonly used in the area of the world being coded.

Examples

• All • Carrier XX wants to allow one month maximum stay for its special fares. Carrier

XX follows Reso 100 with no exceptions. Carrier would code one month maximum stay in Category 7 and use TSIs 01/05.

• Some • Carrier ZZ wants a two-day minimum stay and also a three month maximum stay

for its special fares. Carrier ZZ does not want to use TSIs 48/36 from Reso 100 in Category 6; instead it uses TSIs 01/05 and applies Reso 100 guidelines for the maximum stay using TSIs 01/05.

• None • Carrier 00 wants a two-day minimum stay and also a three-month maximum stay for

its special fares. Carrier 00 does not want to follow Reso 100 for either its minimum or maximum stay restrictions. It uses TSIs 01/05 for Category 6 and 01/52 for Category 7.

Category 10

When combining fares within a pricing unit, most restrictive conditions apply, including Categories 2–4, 9, 11, 12, 17, and 19, except as otherwise specified.

• 105 – Arbitraries = yes (ADD-ONS) Domestic Tariff** – Tag NO on scoreboard

• 104 (END-ON-END) – End-on-end and side trips permitted. Free-form text: Side trips are permitted.


59

Where end-on-end is permitted, the conditions of the special fare apply only to the use of the special fare and not to any combined fares; however, any end-on-end restriction applies to the entire journey.

Exception: If the carrier wants to state “combinations only permitted End-on-End with domestic fares” or if the carrier wishes to state, “combinations only permitted with domestic fares,” the side trip information will be included in that free-form text.

• 103 (CIRCLE TRIPS) – One half of a fare may not be combined with one half of a fare established under another resolution or normal fares between the country of unit origin and the country of turnaround. However, half-round-trip combination permitted with carrier-specified fares if authorized, provided combination is within same conference area and with same fare type. The most restrictive conditions apply.

Category 16

Cancel/No-show/Upgrade – No restrictions

Rebooking/rerouting – Individual fares: permitted

Group fares: voluntary not permitted; involuntary, permitted

Note: When two round-trip fares with different penalty charges are combined on a half-round-trip basis to form a single pricing unit, then the higher penalty charge applies for the pricing unit. When two or more pricing units are combined on one ticket and each pricing unit has a penalty charge, the penalty established for each pricing unit applies.

Category 18

Applies only for APEX/SAPEX/PEX/SPEX fares: Code "NONREF/APEX" or "NONREF/SAPEX" or "NONREF/PEX" or "NONREF/SPEX" and tag the FORM OF PAYMENT box of the original and reissued ticket.

ADD FFT #13150 = "Tickets must show by insert or sticker that travel is at a special fare and is subject to special conditions."

“Form of Payment” – Information about the type of fare and whether a fare is non-refundable will be coded in this field on tickets and subsequent reissues. (for example, “Youth Fares” – “NONREF/APEX”).

“Endorsement” – Restrictions relating to the use of either the complete ticket or any coupon(s) thereof will be coded in this field. Tickets and any subsequent reissue must be annotated “VOLUNTARY CHNGS RESTRICTED” in this box.

Category 19

Unless otherwise stated in fare note, this category need not be addressed.

If addressed code as follows unless otherwise instructed: CNN 02–11 – 75% (must be accompanied by an ADT 12.) UNN 02–07 – 100% (no accompanied persons required.) UNN 08–11 – 75% (no accompanied persons required.) INF 00–01 – 10% (must be accompanied by and ADT 12.) INS 00–01 – 75% (must be accompanied by and ADT 12.)

**The above table numbers are for YY (IATA) fares and include the modifier code. The carrier must decide whether to use a modifier in their children’s discounts. All YY tariffs must be coded with a ticket designator/modifier in Category 19. Whenever a Record 3 is created for a children's discount, the following information is added:

CNN/UNN/INS/MNN/INN, etc: Ticket Designator: CH MOD: D INF Ticket Designator: IN MOD: D

Exception: If there is no discount allowed or if 100% of adult fare is coded, the Ticket Designator Field will be left blank.

Per Amadeus: When the words “NO DISCOUNTS ARE ALLOWED” appear in children’s and infant’s discounts, code the discount and negate the general rule. For example, if CNN/INF discounts are preferred, do not bring forward the discounts for UNN/INS. This data does not need to be coded into Category 22 or Category 50.

Rule 2 Each carrier can create its own Rule 2 provisions containing unique data that the carrier wishes to have coded each time in specific tariffs or markets. Carriers primarily use Rule 2 provisions in tariffs that are filed on paper, usually to and from US/CA.

During processing, the system assumption will be applied in any category that contains no coding, so carriers have designed general rule provisions to state specific information that they wish to be always applied instead of the system assumption. Carrier-specific general rule provisions are coded in General Rule Index and will apply instead of the system assumption in the absence of coded data.

For example, the category information that is addressed in a fare rule is coded first. Next, analysts will code each category according to the carrier’s Rule 2 provisions, which are often tariff- or market-specific. The analyst must also be aware of the carrier’s general rules and each category’s system assumption, so that those provisions can be negated whenever they are not to be applied.

Remember: Do not use Rule 2 provisions if the fare rule contains any information pertaining to the categories addressed in a carrier’s Rule 2 that is different from the Rule 2 information. Rule 2 statements are used only when a specific fare rule does not address these provisions. The example below is a sample Rule 2 for Carrier XX.

Sample category-specific provisions for Carrier XX

Category 2

Use TSI 42: ON EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR

If rule has midweek/weekend fares and no definition is given, use these:

MIDWEEK = Monday-Thursday; WEEKEND = Friday-Sunday.

Category 3

Use TSI 40: ON THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR

Code either fare family or fare class specific, do not use seasonal indicator.

Category 5

Code ALL SECTORS if the fare rule has an advance purchase requirement.

Category 6

Use the following:

TSI 40 (measured from): ON THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR

TSI 05 (return from): LAST STOPOVER


63

Category 7

TSI 01 (measured from): DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN

TSI 05 (return from): DEPARTURE FROM LAST STOPOVER

1200M; MIDNIGHT

Code 1 year if not addressed and fare is round-trip.

If maximum stay is expressed in months, add text table #276162: THE NUMBER OF MONTHS COUNTING FROM THE DAY OF DEPARTURE /I.E. INCLUDING DATE OF DEPARTURE.

Category 8

Remember to negate. Children's discounts apply to a specific charge amount unless Rule 200 is not applicable.

Category 10

• 104 – Must be via fare construction point. • 105 – Arbitraries = yes • 101 – Open jaw = single or double (Use S/T values on scoreboard for SOJ/DOJ on

Normal fares per carrier definition.) • 103 – Code a ‘1’ in the max number of fare break points if rule is not restricted to same

carrier roundtrip overwater and/or is not a rule with only one-way fares. • 108 – Same fare type (Table 71) Example: XX does not want to see ATPCO tariffs (that is, IPRA, IPRAI, etc.) coded in any 107 table. Code geographic locales in 106 and leave 107 blank because new assumption is any rule/any tariff. ATPCO tariffs may be used on specific occasions if no other way can be found to code the provision.

Category 12

Children's discounts apply when there is a charge, unless rule is not applicable (Not APL)

Category 15

When carrier wants to include the phrase “EXTENSION OF TICKET VALIDITY DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS,” do not include the rule number, just include the text.

Category 16

Children's discounts apply when there is a charge, unless Rule 200 is not applicable.

ADVANCE PURCHASE FARES

Waivers apply for ADVANCE PURCHASE FARES only.

Cancellation Penalty Waivers:

• Prior to Departure – Waivers for death/illness of passenger/family member, schedule change and airfare increase. (See note below.)

• After Departure – No waivers. (See note below for exception.)

Note: There is no upgrade waiver; however, if the individual fare rule allows upgrades, add the following statement in free-form text: THE ORIGINAL NON-REFUNDABLE AMOUNT REMAINS NON-REFUNDABLE.

Voluntary Rerouting is not permitted except in case of death en route of a member of a family traveling together. (Table 16922)

GROUP FARES

Waivers apply for GROUP FARES only.

• Prior to departure – penalty only applies within advance purchase deadline (when applicable), death/illness of the passenger/family member.

Passenger Type Codes

Application of Passenger Type Code (PTC) flow chart • All PTCs will map to Blank or ADT. • All children encompassed under CNN will map to Blank or ADT. May fail on the age

restrictions; however, processing will not fail on the PTC. • YTH or STU (or any PTC that is considered an ADT) with an age range of 2 and higher

will NOT map to the CNN. These will need to be filed specifically by the carrier. • For example: YTH age 2–18 will not map to CNN. Carrier should file as a CNN age 2–

18 or as a CNN aged 2–11 and a YTH aged 12–18 instead.

Instructions for coding companion fares are listed on the following page.


86

Note: If any of the Passenger Types that are generally permitted in the discount categories (CNN) are used in companion fares, any general rule referring to them must be negated.

Take the following steps to be sure that Companion Fares will autoprice correctly.

Step 1. Determine the following information before coding companion fares.

• How many fare classes are involved? • Is the passenger allowed to travel alone or must the passenger travel with a

companion? • Must the passengers be a certain age? Must the primary (full fare) or

secondary passenger be a specific age, such as Senior, Youth, or Child? • What are the other requirements for this fare? What are the advance

purchase requirements, minimum/maximum stay requirements, and penalty provisions? Must the passengers travel together or purchase tickets together?

Step 2. Remember the following as you begin coding.

Section A of the Fare Type Matrix contains fare types used for Companion fares

• First Class Cabin • Economy Round Trip Advance Purchase • Business Class Cabin • Economy One Way Advance Purchase • Economy Class Cabin • Economy Round Trip Instant Purchase • Economy Excursion Cabin • Special or Add-On

Section B of the Fare Type Matrix is used to determine fare types for Family Plan fares

ACC Accompanied Travel

Use Section B of Fare Type Matrix ANN Age Restricted Companion HOF Head of Family SPS Spouse (may travel alone) FNN Family plan child

SPA Accompanied Spouse Must be used together and with fare type code “SH”

SPH Head of Family Spouse

Passenger Type terms

(These PTCs are used for companion type fares. Passenger Types other than CMA, CMP or ANN can be used with CMP or ANN. For example, a Senior Citizen with a companion is a companion type of fare; therefore, instead of CMA or CMP/ANN you may have to code SRC.)

• CMA An adult with a companion (one fare class for CMA and a different fare class for the companion are required)

• CMP A companion fare without age restrictions • ANN A companion fare with age restrictions

Companion fare classes are sometimes described as primary and secondary fare classes.

• Primary Fare Class The fare with the higher dollar amount and that uses CMA or CMP/ANN passenger type code (Depending on whether age restrictions apply)

• Secondary Fare Class The fare that is free or much lower in cost than the primary fare (the fare class may have the suffix of CP, C, or a number indicating the percentage of the full fare.

Step 3. The following categories must be coded in the rule when companion fares are needed.

• Category 13 A must! This is the category that requires passengers to travel together. Be very careful to look at the entire rule to accurately reflect the accompany provisions. If you are coding the discount Categories 19-22, there are fields that also handle the same restrictions for passengers required to travel together.

• Category 1 May be needed. If the companion must meet a specific age requirement, Category 1 is coded to state those age restrictions.

• Category 15 May also be needed. If the companion must ticket at the same time, the field (Family/Group) will need to be tagged to note this restriction.

• Category 19 Most child discounts require accompanied travel.

Fare Type Matrix Use the following fare type matrix to determine the Normal/Special tag, Category Display code, and Fare Type code to be assigned. Please use the guidelines given to assist you when selecting information from the matrix. This is only a guideline and can be overridden by carrier instruction.

How to use this matrix 1. The matrix is divided into two sections. Section A is for fare classes that do not have an associated passenger type. Section B is for any fare class

that does have an associated passenger type(s) indicating the fare only applies for a specific passenger(s). Examples of these are Military personnel (passenger type MIL) or group fare classes (passenger type GRP).

2. When using the matrix, ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF the following question: Does the fare class apply to specific types of passengers; e.g. Military, Clergy, Family Plan; which will require a passenger type? If it does, use Section B only.

Exceptions: i. Fares with Passenger Type Code ADT are not considered Promotional Fares; therefore, SECTION A should be used.

ii. CHILDREN'S FARES must have the same fare type as the associated adult. Do not compare children's fare classes (e.g. Passenger Type Code CNN) to the matrix in their own right; use the adult instead.

iii. COMPANION FARES. When a COMPANION fare is being compared to the matrix, SECTION A should be used even when Passenger Type Codes exist.

iv. PRIVATE FARES. Existence of a Passenger Type Code does not automatically indicate the fare is a promotional fare. If the Passenger Type Code identifies a specific passenger, then the fare is a promotional fare and SECTION B should be used. If the Passenger Type Code identifies a sales outlet (e.g. WEB), then SECTION A should be used. If it is unclear whether the Passenger Type Code identifies a passenger or outlet, then SECTION A should be used.

IN ALL OTHER CASES, IF A PASSENGER TYPE HAS BEEN OR SHOULD BE ASSIGNED, THEN THE CATEGORY DISPLAY MUST BE 'S' AND SECTION B SHOULD BE USED.

3. Once you have determined the Section of the matrix to be used, select the cabin of service that is applicable, e.g. First, Business or Economy. Then review the restrictions that apply to that fare class. Include in the comparison OW/RT and the restrictive nature of that fare class e.g., apex or pex. Using these restrictions, compare the fare class to the matrix and select the fare type code, normal/special and category display type code that applies.


111

4. Each column is described below. The column name is given with a short explanation of its function, and whether it is to be used for matching purposes or for assigning classification.

Column 1 Cabin Service Used to match the fare class to the cabin and class of service.

Column 2 Industry Name Indicates the industry name given to that class of service, e.g. First, Business or Economy. Additionally, a guideline of passenger types that could be associated is included.

Column 3 OW / RT Used to indicate in the match process whether the fare class is One Way or Round Trip.

Column 4 MIN / MAX Used in the matching process. The fare class is reviewed for minimum / maximum stay requirements.

Column 5 ADV PUR Used in the matching process. The fare class is reviewed for Advance purchase / Instant purchase requirements.

Column 6 ELG Used to match to fare classes which do / do not have Eligibility requirements.

Column 7 DAY / FLT / STOP / ACC TVL / TVL / SALE / PEN

Used to match to fare classes which do / do not have Day / Time, Flight, Stopovers, Accompanying Travel, Travel Date Restrictions, Sales Restrictions and Penalty / Changes / Rerouting / Cancellation / Refund restrictions.

Column 8 FARE TYPE CODE Indicates the Fare Type to be assigned to the fare class.

Column 9 NML / SPL Reflects the classification of Normal or Special to be assigned to the fare class.

Column 10 DISPLAY TYPE Indicates the Display Category Type to be assigned to the fare class. N = Normal, E = Excursion, S = Status, G = Group, I = Incl Tour.


112

5. Here are a few helpful reminders: a. Do not use the rule title as the primary indicator for fare type selection.

b. Use only the categories specified in the matrix as the criteria for selection.

c. The existence of a category does not necessarily constitute a restriction.

Examples

Category 5

When the only data coded is for "all seats must be confirmed" or "no standbys,” this does not constitute advance reservations data for fare type selection. Use this category as an example for all categories in the matrix where data might exist but is insufficient to constitute a restriction.

Category 7

When the tariff addresses one-year maximum stay, this is considered industry knowledge. As it is stated on the page, however, it will be coded in the Automated Rules product. The existence of category 7 for this statement only, should not be criterion for the use of the matrix.

Category 8

When a Category 8 provision is present, either at the fare rule or general rule level, the following provisions do not constitute a restriction when using the matrix:

• Unlimited stopovers permitted (no other data is present). • Unlimited stopovers permitted with a stopover time 24 hours or higher (no other data is present).

Examples of Category 8 provisions that do not constitute a restriction:

1. Unlimited stopovers permitted.

2. Unlimited stopovers permitted, no stopover occurs if passenger takes next available flight within 24 hours.

When a Category 8 provision is present, either at the fare rule or general rule level, the existence of any or all of the following provisions do constitute a restriction when using the matrix:

• limited number of stopovers (or no stopovers permitted)


113

• restricted on inbound/outbound portions • OJ/CT stopover restriction • charges • geographic restrictions (including geographic locales, gateways, travel via same point) • carrier restrictions

Examples of Category 8 provisions that do constitute a restriction:

1. Unlimited stopovers permitted in LAX.

2. 4 stopovers permitted in Europe for USD 100.00 each.

3. 2 stopovers permitted – 1 in each direction.

4. 1 stopover permitted only at the gateway in Europe.

5. Unlimited stopovers permitted. Stopovers allowed only twice at the same point.

6. No stopovers permitted.

Note: The system assumption for Category 8 is that stopovers are not permitted. Therefore, the absence of a Category 8 provision, either at the fare rule or general rule level, will constitute a restriction when using the matrix.

Category 15

When the tariff states " PTAs are permitted" or "PTAs equal a ticket," this is again industry knowledge, which will be coded in the Rules product. The existence of this information does not constitute the existence of category 15 for the purpose of the matrix.

• When a fare class states that reservations and ticketing must be made at the same time or ticketing within 72 hours of reservations, then an instant purchase fare type must be used, regardless of whether the fare matches the criteria of another fare type.

• Add-on fare classes for domestic (including Canadian) fares should be coded with an ER fare type. Category 23 should be coded and the proportional tag set. The ADD-ON fare types must only be used for international add-ons.

• Fare types must not vary for multiple sequences of any given fare class. • Fares applicable for groups and tours are considered more restrictive than other conditions. For example, a Senior Citizen Group Fare is

considered a group fare and should be assigned PGV as a Fare Type and not PS for Senior Citizen.

Fare Family Matching on a Record 2

Like fare class codes may be grouped together using a wildcard, the hyphen (-), known as a fare family, to indicate more than one exact Fare class code.

Hyphen (-)

A hyphen is a wildcard value that is used to represent any alphanumeric characters in the fare class, also known as fare family, which is used to group multiple like fare class codes for matching against Automated Rules Category Control (Record 2).

Rules for applying the wildcard (hyphen) match 1. The hyphen will not be used to replace a number when the immediately following or preceding character in the Fare Basis Code on the ticket is

also a number • B-E70 does not match BE701, BE710 or BE170 • BE-70 matches BEX70, BE1X70, but does not match BEX170 • -E70 matches BE70, YNWE70 and Q123E70NR

In addition to the above rules, the following rules apply for hyphens:

2. When the hyphen is in the beginning of an alphanumeric string there is an assumed hyphen at the end

• -E70 matches BE70NR and BE70NR50 • The hyphen must be replaced with at least one character and cannot be left blank

• -HE70 does not match HE70NR

3. When the hyphen is in the middle of an alphanumeric string there is an assumed hyphen at the end

• Q-AP matches QHXAP and QHXAPCH • The hyphen does not have to be replaced by any characters

• Y-AP matches YAP and YHXAP

4. When the hyphen is at the end of an alphanumeric string the hyphen does not have to be replaced by any characters

• Y- matches Y and YR
