Phase IV Tips
1) Sabre will only allow up to 6 Phase IVs to be save in 1 PNR.
2) If you make any changes to the flight itin after you save your Phase IV, you must
update the Phase IV to reflect the change you made.
3) If you are creating multiple Phase IVs in a PNR, you must add the nbr of teh to you
LUCKEY commands. Ex.: If you are creating Phase IV nbr 2 for an adt, the line entitlement
line would be: W¥I2¥L
4) After completing a Phase IV, ALWAYS save your work by entering the ER command
5) When adding a Phase IV to a PNR, the Phase IV becomes the price quote. All other price
quotes must be deleted from the PNR.
6) The Baggage Allowance must be entered in the Line Entitlement Line. You can can find
the baggage allowance in the original price quote for the PNR.
Baggage Allowance = must be add at the of the Line Entitlement
*BA(bag allow) = ex. 1 bag (1 pc) = *BA01P
ex. no bag allow = *BANIL
PHASE IV – L.U.C.K.E.Y
1. Retrieve PNR in Sabre (6-letter record locator)
2. Display the WETR (electronic ticket record)
L - Enter your line entitlements from the WETR(fare basis code and validity dates)
W‡I‡L(first segment from the PhaseIV shell)-(fare basis code, you get from the ETR)*(date
of flight that you get from the PhaseIV shell) ‡(2nd segment number from the PhaseIV
shell)-(fare basis code, you get from the ETR)*(date of flight that you get from the
PhaseIV shell) …. Etc (see page 3 for baggage allowance notes)
U- Enter any waiver codes or tour codes given by the airline (if applicable)
W‡I‡U(waiver code or tour code .. exactly as given by the airline (if no tour code SKIP))
Dividing more than one pax at the same time -- D(name field number)*(name field number) --
EXAMPLE; D1.1*2.2
To cross reference the two PNRs -- enter TCP command in both PNRs
Adding an OSI to each PNR -- 3OSI (al code) TCP(number of pax) W (last name/first name)
(record locator) ***For AA use 4OSI
Divide the PNR
1) command for divide
2) R
3) F
4) R
6) E
VOID A TICKET
VOID AN EXCHANGE
WETP*(AIRLINE CODE) = sabre command to know if the airline allow cx to void an exchange
Ticketing PCC
> When processing a Void, you must be in the PCC the PNR was tktd in.
> Verify the tkting PCC bu viewing the tkt and emulate if necessary.
V O I D
Void Exchange -- if the cx will make a change to their flights only to find out, they need
their original flights back.
To verf if the al allows to void an exchange -- WETP*(al code)
When processing a void you must be in the PCC the PNR was tktd in.

Steps to Cancel Flights in Sabre
1) Display the PNR & verify:
> flights are present & HK status
Airfare types
> Published = Package and standalone
> Special Vacation Airfare (SVA) = Package only
> Branded Net Fare (BNF) = Standalone only
Expedia Bargain Fare (EBF)

Ref Steps
1) Determine if teh cx is eligible for a ref by reading the fare rules and checking eu for
policies
2) ccl the flight segments and add the correct docs to the PNR
3) Run refund scripts and queue the PNR to AFT. Adv the cx the proper ref time line.
> If the PNR is pre-travel and all flight segments are unused, then XIA and receive and
end the record before beginning Sabre refund scripts.
> If the PNR is enroute and some travel has been completed, we are not able to manually
cancel used segments from the PNR. Airline agents are not able to manually cancel used
segments either. The used segments must fall of the record on their own, typically in 24-
48 after completion of the flight.
> If there are past date segments on a PNR that we are manually unable to cancel from the
itinerary, then SEA agents will queue the PNR to the SEA team Sabre reject queue. Agents
working rejects will queue to the appropriate refund queue after the past date segments
are removed from the PNR.
> Failure to cancel flights correctly or queue the PNR correctly will result in an
agent error.
This document will guide you through the refund scripts when it’s necessary to run them in
the Sabre GDS instead of Voyager Flights.
Be sure to read all applicable fare rules to determine the refundability of the
passenger’s ticket and calculate any unused value eligible for refund and document that
breakdown in the PNR history.
After all documentation and all flight segments are cancelled from the PNR, receive and
end the PNR and ignore out of the PNR record to begin the refund scripts.

When making a name change, you must also update the Secure Flight Information on the PNE
so it matches the name exactly.
after adding tsa delete the old price quote in the pnr

1) Display PNR
2) Check the tkt Status
3) Verify fare rules
4) Sell in New Flisights
5) Cxl old flights
6) Price new flights'
7) Calculate add collect
8) Delete the old price
9) Store the new fare
10) save the changes

Steps to Recalculate
1) display the historical FQ for the flights flown. From the list of fare basis codes,
look for the first one way fare in the same class of service or higher. The value is the
"used" base fare.
2) subtract the "used" base fare from the total base fare of the original tkt. Left over
value is the "unused" base fare amnt the cx can use toward the new flight.
Steps by steps
1) display pnr
2) *t
3) wetr*(tktline nbr)
4) verify the credit
5) FQ COMMAND
6) check pen and if the credit is valid
7) check and select avail
8) WPNCB¥RQ
9)
upon the first time using agency service, you may have to complete the agent profile form.
*click on tools.
*from the tools tab, click on icon for past date PNR.'
*Choose the pcc the original PNR was ticketed in and select submit.
*Search for the PNR by using:
- pasesenger info or tix no.
- can be searched by name
*the names will pop-up and you make take note of the info pnr given.
*sabre displays a PDF of the PNR.
- you may use the info on the pdf to process the exchange.
- the PDF is three pages info.
TIPS: attach the pdf to the navi case for future ref.
use galileo, for ref.

8) Calculate cost to change flights and ask customer if they want to exchange
Note: Take note in your notepad the total cost of diff in fare (old fare - new
fare = diff in fare)
Advise the customer the airline exchange fee & diff in fare if any then
ask if they would like to continue, if not, ignore the process, if yes, continue next
step.
9) Delete old PQ
