Basic Manual
36 Amadeus Hellas S.A.







Airlines have created an automated way to check and identify the automated electronic ticket number,
in their systems. Due to this automation it is mandatory for the electronic ticket number to be inserted
in the pnr/system with a certain format for each airline (OSI or SSR).The FA element is created
automatically upon ticket issuance and sends the ticket number to the airlines in the respective way.

Inserting a ticket number manually is FORBIDDEN by the airlines!!!


o There are very few exceptions when an e-ticket nr. can be manually inserted in the booking.

One of these cases is a change of routing in the itinerary. When segments are removed
and rebooked, the FA element is automatically canceled. So the ticket number has to be
inserted again to match the specific segment, because the airlines system might cancel
either the segment or even the whole itinerary if there is no matching ticket number for all
segments.
In this case, the airline has to support the function Ticket Number Transmission. To check
if the airline supports this function, you can go to the information page GGPCA<airline
code>, where all the possibilities offered by the airline through Amadeus, are displayed. If
the Ticket Number Transmission is set to ALL, then you are able to insert the ticket
manually with the FH entry:


FHE 220 9546789010 /P1 /S3-4


It is mandatory to associate the FH element to passenger and segment(s), even if there is only one
passenger in the pnr.


! Attention !

Contact the airlines or the Amadeus Help Desk for the correct use.

This element is used to request a special service request from the airline. This request can be for a
wheelchair, a stretcher, an unaccompanied minor, a special meal etc.

o All the services have a special 4-letter IATA code.
o For any other service you might need and there is no 4-letter IATA code,
you may use the code OTHS. All these service requests send a Teletype
Queue Message to the airline concerned that will confirm or reject your
request by sending the answer to a specific Queue of your agency.
o Chargeable Ancillary services.
The airline decides if Chargeable Ancillary Services will apply, what the
cost will be and how it will be defined and processed.
