Definition
11. Amadeus uses codes to represent locations,
companies and equipment in the entries that
you use in Amadeus and in the displays that are
returned to you. Therefore, you need to be able
to interpret the codes you see and use.
12. The airline industry uses a system that identifies
each airport and city with a unique three-letter code. Each airline is
identified by a unique two-character code. With these codes, which
are administered by the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) and the International Standards Organization (ISO), you can
identify cities, airports and airlines. For more information, see
HE ENCODE or HE DECODE.

19. Here we describe the functionality of Amadeus Air, its displays and the
options you have to customize your requests. There are three types of
displays in the Air module:
Availability Display
An Amadeus availability display shows all flights with at least one seat
available for sale or waitlist, based on the transaction code and parameters
you use to request the display
20. Schedule Display
An Amadeus schedule display shows all flights
and classes operated by all airlines that submit schedule
information to Amadeus.
Timetable Display
An Amadeus timetable is a display of flights operating during a
specified one week period.
A timetable display shows all flights operating over a seven-
day period for a given city pair. If you do not specify a date,
the system uses the current date.
21. The display contains flights of all airlines for which schedule information is
submitted to Amadeus. You can also display the flights of airlines that do not
have a sales agreement with Amadeus. Timetable displays do not show
classes of service; therefore, you cannot sell seats directly from this display.

An SSR – Special Service Request is an application to an Airline to
provide a particular facility for a passenger or passengers. A SSR
request is made using an SR entry, which generates an SSR element in
the PNR and a request message to the Airline or Airlines concerned. An
Service request does require confirmation from the Airline and it result
in the automatic placement of PNRs on queue if a response is received
from the Airline.

Many airlines offer frequent flyer programs to passengers who travel
often on their airline. These programs vary from airline to airline, each
offering special features to their frequent flyers.
There are four frequent flyer transaction codes:
FFD Displays the name from the frequent flyer database
FFN Creates an SSR element in the PNR, for mileage accrual
FFA Creates the name and an SSR element in the PNR,
for mileage accrual
FFR Creates an SSR element in the PNR, for a redemption journey

Currently the US, Canadian and certain other customs API
(Advanced Passenger Information) programs require airlines to submit
Passport, Visa and flight information to customs. Today, this can be
handled in the PNR with the SSR PSPT. The rest of the information can
be collected by the airlines at check-in time.
However, US customs has also requested airlines to send additional data,
including destination address in the US, and additional information
concerning travel documents. In order to support these additional APIS
data requirements within reservation systems an IATA industry standard
has defined 3 new SSRS (DOCS, DOCO, and DOCA).
61. 61
To create an SSR containing NON-APIS passport information , must use the approved IATA format.

Amadeus Queues gives airlines, travel agencies and providers the ability to
send and receive PNRs that require action and to send and receive messages.
Using queues you can communicate with other offices and organize the
workload in your own office by accessing and creating queues for the
different tasks you have to perform. PNRs can require action for the following
reasons:
Confirmation of segments, services, options or seats from the waitlist
Change of responsible office
Change of flight schedule
Change in the ticketing arrangement
Expiration of a ticketing time limit
Changes in a group PNR
82. 82
:

The Amadeus queue bank is divided into 2 types of queues :
1. Special Queues Divided into categories only
2. Dual Queues Divided into categories and date ranges
PNRs can require action for the following reasons:
Confirmation of segments, services, options or seats from the waitlist
Change of responsible office
Change of flight schedule
Change in the ticketing arrangement
Expiration of a ticketing time limit
Changes in a group PNR
84. 84
The queue system sorts PNRs and messages into three areas
Queue
Numbers
are assigned automatically by the system. They
correspond to the type of action required in the PNR.
Queue
Categories
are a sub-division that divide PNRs in the same queue
corresponding to the exact action required in the PNR.
Date Ranges divide PNRs in the same queue and category
according to the date the action is required.
You can customize your queue bank. The categories can be deleted or
increased and the date ranges can be deleted or changed accordingly.
You can also delete an entire queue if it is not need by your office. Queue
0, 97 and the delay queue cannot be deleted. Although not mandatory, it
is recommended that you also have queues 1 and 3.

The categories of dual queues are divided into four date ranges.
The date ranges divide each category into four sections. When your queue
bank is activated, the date ranges are determined by the system as follows:
Date Dates Covered Example
D1 Today plus two days 01SEP - 03SEP
D2 Three to five days, from current date 04SEP - 06SEP
D3 Six to eight days, from current date 07SEP - 09SEP
D4 Nine days and beyond, from current date 10SEP onwards
