Welcome to Introduction to International Pricing Functionality ÿ PowerPoint – 02

Objectives: At the end of the class, you will be able to:

• Understand basic fare construction principles and their application • Price PNRs and utilize Pricing Options

ÿ PowerPoint - 03

Topics covered: • Autoprice a PNR with Different PTC codes • Low Fare Finder

ÿ PowerPoint - 04

First we discuss: • Round Trip • Circle Trip • Three fare constructions principles

− Circle Trip Minimum − High Intermediate Point − Differential

þ Instructors’ Notes

The goal of teaching fare construction principles is to help you recognize, during the pricing process, when one of the principles has been applied. Application of the principles can result in price different from the fare quoted and it is essential to understand the reason for the difference. To understand the three principles, let’s talk about the following


Page 6 3/13/2003

terms: ÿ PowerPoint - 05

Definitions: One way Trip - Not a complete round trip, circle trip, or other than round trip/circle trip (open jaw).

Round Trip – Travel from a point of origin to another point and return to the point of origin by the same route or by a different route when the fare is the same in each direction. Circle – Travel from one point and return to the same point by a continuous, circular route including two international fare components that do not meet the conditions of the round trip definition.

ÿ PowerPoint - 06

The three fare construction principles are: 1. Circle Trip Minimum – A check to ensure the fare is not less

than the highest direct normal or special round trip fare applicable to the lowest class of service from point of origin to any ticketed point on the routing.

2. Higher Intermediate Point – An intermediate point along the route of travel having a higher published fare from the point of origin than the published fare from point of origin to destination.

3. Differential – An amount added when a segment and/or segments of an itinerary is traveled in a higher class of service than the majority of the segments


3/13/2003 Page 7

ÿ PowerPoint - 07

Next we discuss: • Autopricing an international PNR with different PTC codes,

including an INF PTC code. þ Instructors’ Notes

Any child under 2 years of age is considered an infant. If INF is in the name field, Worldspan prices the record at the applicable fare for that PTC. On international flights an infant usually pays a percentage of the adult fare. A segment cannot be sold for the infant, because they do not occupy a seat.

ÿ PowerPoint - 08

Guidelines to keep in mind when using an INF PTC: • All passenger names may be entered in one name field, but upon

redisplay the INF PTC displays in separate name field. • Once the PNR is ended, changes are not allowed to the “INF”

PTC. • Only one “INF” PTC is allowed per “ADT” PTC in the PNR. • At time of end transaction, an OSI is automatically sent to all

airlines in the itinerary to notify them of the infant. • Infant tickets are exempted from Passenger Facility Charges

(PFC’S). • An Infant cannot be divided out of a PNR. To remove, cancel the

infant name field.


Page 8 3/13/2003

ÿ PowerPoint - 09

INF PTC Guidelines, cont’d:

• Customized Name Data may be used with the INF PTC. • The endorsement box on the ticket reads "NO-SEAT". The status

box has the code "NS" (no seat). NO (No Allowance) or PC (Piece Concept) prints in the baggage area of the ticket.

• Name associated SSRs can only be used for NW. • If an infant PNR autoprices, a ticket is not issued for travel solely

within the United States. However, if the PNR is MANUALLY PRICED, a ticket is issued and the fare displays as $0.00.


The following exercise demonstrates pricing for PTCs, including an infant without a seat.

Next we discuss: • Low Fare Finder

− Lowest Available (4PLF@) − Lowest Available & Rebook (4PLFB@) − Lowest Possible (4PLFQ@)


Low Fare Finder provides a method for pricing an itinerary at the lowest applicable fare based on booking class availability and using AccessPlus entries.


3/13/2003 Page 11

ÿ PowerPoint - 11

Low Fare Finder (4PLF@) Guidelines:

• A 4PLF@ entry checks Worldspan availability for Direct Access, Direct Sell and non-participating airlines. A 4PLF entry on an Airline Source participant checks the airline's availability.

• A 4PLF@ entry assumes the PNR is booked today and is ticketed today

• A 4PLF@ entry prices a maximum of 16 itinerary segments, 4 PTCs and 9 fare break points

• Low Fare Finder can be used to price a PNR with open segments : Application Sharing

Next we discuss: • Power Products

− Power Shopper − Power Pricing − Power Flight Search


Power Products is a program consisting of three products available to find low fare alternates. These products are:


Page 14 3/13/2003

ÿ PowerPoint - 13

Worldspan Power Products Power Shopper – a method of searching for low fares without having an itinerary built. Power Shopper is applicable to domestic and international itineraries. Power Pricing – a method of obtaining a lower fare for a booked domestic or international itinerary. Power Flight Search – displays the first available flights based upon a desired fare within a four-day search window for domestic and international flights.


There is a monthly fee for using the Power Products. A full month is charged for each CRT with Power Products access, regardless of what time of the month they are activated.

ÿ PowerPoint - 14

For Power Shopper Guidelines: • An itinerary is not required • A change symbol can be added to request last seat availability by

direct access • If no date is indicated, Worldspan defaults to the current date • If no time is indicated, Worldspan defaults to 9 a.m. • If no date or time is indicated, Worldspan defaults to current date

and local CRT time • Time can be input using the 24 hour clock

Power Pricing Guidelines: • Processes up to 4 PTCs and 6 trips not to exceed 16 segments

(including ARNKs) • Displays alternate itineraries on international PNRs regardless of

the global direction of the original itinerary • 4PLIBX returns the new segments in an “SS” status code • Processes open segments. If there is no date, Power Pricing

assumes today’s date for the departure flight and tomorrow for the return flight. If the open segments do not have times, the current time of the CRT is used. Times do not appear on the newly booked open alternate segments.


Page 22 3/13/2003

ÿ PowerPoint - 18

Power Pricing Guidelines Cont.:

• Can be used on itineraries containing non-participating airlines. However, since non-participating airlines are not in availability, Power Pricing cannot consider them in an alternate itinerary.

• Can be used on itineraries containing schedule changes, which have not been worked. However, if an attempt is made to rebook, Worldspan notifies that schedule changes exist and must be worked to rebooked.

ÿ PowerPoint - 19


• Only considers the class of service booked or above. For example, if coach is booked, Power Pricing considers coach, business and first class. If business is booked, business and first class is considered. And if first class is booked, only first class is considered.

• Rebook is not allowed when 4PLIQ is used. • Non-stop and direct flights are not returned when 4PLIX is used.

ÿ PowerPoint - 20


• When using 4PLINK, auxiliary segments remain with the original itinerary.

• 4PLID evaluates non-stop and direct one-stop flights. If a direct flight has more than one stop, Power Pricing does not consider this flight as an alternate.

• 4PLID does not consider change of gauge flights as an alternate.


3/13/2003 Page 23


Power Pricing searches availability using sort level 15 in the following order:

ÿ PowerPoint - 21

Sort Level 15 • Non-stop • Direct • Single online connections (same airlines) • Single offline connections (different airlines) • Double online connections • Double offline connections


Power Flight Search begins with a Fares Display entry. All options used in a fares entry are retained and incorporated into the Power Flight Search if you are within the same transaction. Once a fare has been selected Worldspan validates all rules for the selected fare and airline.

ÿ PowerPoint - 22

Power Flight Search Validates For: • Seasonality • Blackout Dates • Days of Week • Routing • Flight Restrictions


Page 24 3/13/2003

• Minimum/Maximum Stay • Advance Purchase Requirements • Sales Restrictions • Travel Restrictions Discounts • Accompanying Travel

ÿ PowerPoint - 23

Power Flight Search Guidelines: • Searches flights from integrated published and private fares,

including ATPCO Net fares. • Can have up to 10 alternates with no outbound flight duplication in

availability. If no availability is found for the original dates, Worldspan checks forward one month for the outbound and return dates. This search continues for a maximum of three days forward.

• A maximum of 9 passengers and 4 PTCs are allowed for one itinerary.

ÿ PowerPoint - 24

Power Flight Search Guidelines Cont.:

• If no dates are indicated, Worldspan defaults to current date. • For international flights, the class of service must be available for

the over-the-water segment.

Custom Discount Pricing allows you to apply a single discount, multiple discounts or a plus-up amount with a ticket designator in a single ticket record.

ÿ PowerPoint - 28

Custom Discount Pricing Guidelines: • The combination of the fare basis code and ticket designator

cannot exceed 15 characters. If the combination exceeds 15 characters Worldspan accepts the entry, however, only the first 15 characters print in the fare basis/ticket designator box.

• A ticket designator can be letters, numbers, special characters or a combination of all three.

• Custom Discount Pricing off the total fare is valid for Domestic US itineraries only. If a discount from the total fare entry is made on a non-US itinerary an error is received.

• Custom Discount Pricing can be used in conjunction with ticketing entries and can be stored in the ticketing field.


3/13/2003 Page 33

ÿ PowerPoint - 29

Custom Discount Pricing Guidelines Cont’d:

• Worldspan performs no editing or validation of discounts or ticket designators used with Custom Discount Pricing.

• Custom Discount Pricing entries can be combined with all pricing options except percentage discounts from the total fare.

• Many airlines require notations in the endorsement box. Worldspan does not generate with Custom Pricing.

• The dollar sign does not represent US dollars. It is used to indicate the amount following is a monetary sum.

• When Custom Plus Pricing international itineraries, the sum is added to the total amount excluding taxes.

Next we discuss: • Pricing Instructions


Pricing Instructions (PIs) are pre-stored in a PNR to be used to produce multiple tickets. PIs are stored by fare basis, custom pricing, PTC or segment select. When using Pricing Instructions, pricing is done at the time of ticketing. If there is a fare increase or if the fare basis code is no longer valid, Worldspan applies the current fare or returns an error


Page 38 3/13/2003

response. ÿ PowerPoint - 32

Why use a PI? • One person makes the reservation, someone else issues the ticket • Your agency used negotiated rates • PNR contains airlines with no ticketing agreement

ÿ PowerPoint - 33

Pricing Instruction Guidelines: • Can be stored using 4P, 4P- or 4PQ entriesNot valid using a 4P∗ • Name select is not valid • Worldspan does not edit for duplicate PIs • PNR must contain a ticketing field • When a PNR is divided, PIs copy to new PNR • PIs do not copy into a new PNR with a EC entry • PIs cannot be stored in a World File • 4PLF, 4P.Y, 4P∗, and 4PT entries are not validBurst Ticketing is

not allowed þ Instructors’ Notes

PIs can be stored in a PNR three ways:

Next we discuss: • Multiple Ticketing Records


Multiple Ticketing Records (MTRs) provide the ability to prestore ticketing records when it is necessary to manually price and ticket two or more trips separately. MTRs may be stored using 4P∗, 4/R or 4/MR.


Page 44 3/13/2003

ÿ PowerPoint - 36

Why use MTRs?

• PNR has more than 16 airline segments • Different Net non-published fare amounts • Different IT published & non-published fare amounts • Multiple airlines cannot be on the same ticket

ÿ PowerPoint - 37

Multiple Ticketing Record Guidelines: • When a PNR is divided, MTRs do not copy to the new PNR • When using EC entries, MTRs do not copy to the new PNR • Maximum of 255 ticketing records per PNR for a maximum of 4

PTCs and 16 airline segments • MTRs are located in the TR database in a PNR. TR ITEMS EXIST

displays on the face of the PNR • Burst ticketing is not allowed
