Our customers talk about ATC
“All staff find Amadeus Ticket Changer fantastic. Once they have tried it
they definitely don’t want go back to the manual process”
Air France - CTO
“Amadeus Ticket Changer enables us to streamline our business process
to deliver a quicker and more responsive service to our customer,
whatever channel he uses: our website or our sales agent”
Tom Kalström, VP e-Business, Finnair
“To me the greatest advantage of using this tool is the fact that it determines
the appropriate penalty. With the airlines having so many different penalties
and rules these days - this tool is a HUGE time saver. It eliminates having to
read fare rules (some times past date) or even worse calling the airline! ”
Central Travel (US )
“It is the best thing since sliced bread!! ”
UniGlobe (US)

Our customers talk about ATC
Эйр Астана" первая среди авиакомпаний СНГ внедрила решение автоматического перевыпуска в
Amadeus Automated Ticket Changer
Алматы, Казахстан, 14 июля 2008: Крупнейший авиаперевозчик Центральной Азии "Эйр Астана“
полностью переходит на обслуживание пассажиров с помощью решения автоматического
Перевыпуска авиабилетов, предоставленного компанией Amadeus - мирового лидера по
технологиям для индустрии туризма и путешествий.
"Эйр Астана" выбрала систему автоматического расчета изменений билетов
Amadeus Automatic Ticket Changer (ATC) после тщательной оценки ее возможностей и преимуществ.
Благодаря нововведению клиенты авиакомпании "Эйр Астана" смогут значительно сэкономить
свое время в случае замены билета, а агенты по продажам авиабилетов смогут избежать ошибок
даже в ситуациях, ранее требующих у сотрудника более пристального внимания.
Amadeus полностью автоматизирует сложный процесс изменений билета и помогает
сэкономить до 80% времени.
Ашендра Лианаге, Вице-президент по продажам и маркетингу авиакомпании "Эйр Астана":
"ATC дает нам возможность обеспечить наших уважаемых клиентов оперативным и эффективным
обслуживанием по самым высоким стандартам. Вместо сложного и занимающего определенное время
процесса замены билета, мы предложим нашим клиентам более разнообразные и гибкие возможности
планирования путешествий".

Frequently asked questions

23
Frequently Asked Questions
The Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) solution is available via API
v.2, is it also available via Web Services for online booking engine?
Yes, ATC is also available via Web Services for the integration of online
ticket change solutions in airline and travel agency websites
Can we use ATC to change multi-passenger PNRs?
Yes, definitely, the multi-passenger functionality has been implemented end
2007 and allows the agent to perform ticket changes for all passengers with
only one request
With ATC, can we reissue tickets that were issued in another GDS?
Yes, if they are e-tickets. However, it is not possible to re-issue paper tickets
that were originally issued in another GDS
What are your plans regarding reissue of negotiated fares with
ATC?
ATC can already allow reissues for private fares filed with ATPCO category
15, 25 and 35 (IT/BT). The repricing of ATPCO category 35 fares for which net
is different from selling amount should not be available before end 2009
Is it possible to reissue several times the same ticket with ATC?
From may 2008, multiple reissue of ticket will be possible with ATC and will
allow any number of automated reissue before departure and then once
more after departure.
©2008AmadeusITGroupSA
24
Frequently Asked Questions
Why collecting penalty via MCO?
This is the IATA recommended practice. Virtual MCO and soon EMD documents
can also be used instead of paper MCO to facilitate the exchange process with
the customer while remaining compliant with IATA standards
When EMD will be available in 2009, will it be automatically used for
ATC?
Yes and we will ensure a seamless migration from paper/virtual documents
towards electronic documents
Is it possible to collect fees with ATC?
The Amadeus Service Fee Manager can already be used in conjunction with
ATC in the PNR environment after the ATC confirmed transaction. It allows the
agent to trigger fee rules for ticket issuance or to apply manual flat fees.
Regarding the airlines, the Airline Ticketing Fee (A.K.A OB fee) inclusion in ATC
process is planned after 2009
What are the initiatives taken by 1A to further simplify the reissue
flow when the agent has to add-collect and refund money in the same
reissue transaction
1A is very active in IATA working groups and has proposed to the industry a
full methodology called Netting to consolidate all the different amounts
involved in a reissue transaction with the objectives to reduce the issuance of
ticketing documents while increasing the traceability of data all the way
through, from pricing to revenue accounting which is available today for
airlines. A netting solution for travel agencies is to be studied
©2008AmadeusITGroupSA
25
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ATC handle no show situations?
Yes it does. This is controlled by a specific coding in the category 31 filed
by the airlines
For multi-pax PNRs, is it possible to issue all new tickets and all
related MCOs in one single request?
Yes, this is possible for airlines using both ATC and the Amadeus e-ticket
server
For other airlines and for travel agencies, the new tickets and related MCOs
will have to be issued pax per pax
Is it possible to utilize ATC to reissue tickets originally priced with
fares of airlines that have not yet filed their reissue policy in the
category 31?
No, the pre-requisite for using ATC is that all fares priced in the ticket to be
changed have a category 31 attached. However, the list of airlines filing
category 31 grows every month and will continue so to reach full coverage
rapidly
Is it possible to use ATC to reissue tickets for interline tickets?
Yes, provided that the fares on the original ticket have a category 31
attached
©2008AmadeusITGroupSA
26
Frequently Asked Questions
What about the competition?
The Sabre tool for travel agencies is not based on the ATPCO category 31
(the industry standard )and therefore the penalty fee calculation has be
assessed manually by the agent. This type of product cannot be compared
to a fully automated product like Amadeus Ticket Changer
TheTravelport tool is mainly focused on the US domestic market and is
therefore limited when it comes to international reissues involving other
currencies than the USD

With the airlines having so many different penalties and rules these days - this tool is a HUGE time saver. It eliminates having to read fare rules (some times past date) or even worse calling the airline! ” Central Travel (US ) “It is the best thing since sliced bread!! ” UniGlobe (US)

  • 20. ©2008AmadeusITGroupSA 23 Frequently Asked Questions The Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) solution is available via API v.2, is it also available via Web Services for online booking engine? Yes, ATC is also available via Web Services for the integration of online ticket change solutions in airline and travel agency websites Can we use ATC to change multi-passenger PNRs? Yes, definitely, the multi-passenger functionality has been implemented end 2007 and allows the agent to perform ticket changes for all passengers with only one request With ATC, can we reissue tickets that were issued in another GDS? Yes, if they are e-tickets. However, it is not possible to re-issue paper tickets that were originally issued in another GDS What are your plans regarding reissue of negotiated fares with ATC? ATC can already allow reissues for private fares filed with ATPCO category 15, 25 and 35 (IT/BT). The repricing of ATPCO category 35 fares for which net is different from selling amount should not be available before end 2009 Is it possible to reissue several times the same ticket with ATC? From may 2008, multiple reissue of ticket will be possible with ATC and will allow any number of automated reissue before departure and then once more after departure.
  • 21. ©2008AmadeusITGroupSA 24 Frequently Asked Questions Why collecting penalty via MCO? This is the IATA recommended practice. Virtual MCO and soon EMD documents can also be used instead of paper MCO to facilitate the exchange process with the customer while remaining compliant with IATA standards When EMD will be available in 2009, will it be automatically used for ATC? Yes and we will ensure a seamless migration from paper/virtual documents towards electronic documents Is it possible to collect fees with ATC? The Amadeus Service Fee Manager can already be used in conjunction with ATC in the PNR environment after the ATC confirmed transaction. It allows the agent to trigger fee rules for ticket issuance or to apply manual flat fees. Regarding the airlines, the Airline Ticketing Fee (A.K.A OB fee) inclusion in ATC process is planned after 2009 What are the initiatives taken by 1A to further simplify the reissue flow when the agent has to add-collect and refund money in the same reissue transaction 1A is very active in IATA working groups and has proposed to the industry a full methodology called Netting to consolidate all the different amounts involved in a reissue transaction with the objectives to reduce the issuance of ticketing documents while increasing the traceability of data all the way through, from pricing to revenue accounting which is available today for airlines. A netting solution for travel agencies is to be studied
  • 22. ©2008AmadeusITGroupSA 25 Frequently Asked Questions Does ATC handle no show situations? Yes it does. This is controlled by a specific coding in the category 31 filed by the airlines For multi-pax PNRs, is it possible to issue all new tickets and all related MCOs in one single request? Yes, this is possible for airlines using both ATC and the Amadeus e-ticket server For other airlines and for travel agencies, the new tickets and related MCOs will have to be issued pax per pax Is it possible to utilize ATC to reissue tickets originally priced with fares of airlines that have not yet filed their reissue policy in the category 31? No, the pre-requisite for using ATC is that all fares priced in the ticket to be changed have a category 31 attached. However, the list of airlines filing category 31 grows every month and will continue so to reach full coverage rapidly Is it possible to use ATC to reissue tickets for interline tickets? Yes, provided that the fares on the original ticket have a category 31 attached
  • 23. ©2008AmadeusITGroupSA 26 Frequently Asked Questions What about the competition? The Sabre tool for travel agencies is not based on the ATPCO category 31 (the industry standard )and therefore the penalty fee calculation has be assessed manually by the agent. This type of product cannot be compared to a fully automated product like Amadeus Ticket Changer TheTravelport tool is mainly focused on the US domestic market and is therefore limited when it comes to international reissues involving other currencies than the USD
