C - Fare Calculation Line = W¥I¥C
K - Commission = W¥I¥K
E - Endoresement Line = W¥I¥ED/
Y - Money (base fare and taxes = W¥I¥Y(CURRENY CODE)

Addtn'l Info
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

Steps to Create A Phase IV


1)
2) Once the cx accepts the flights offered by the airline and the new flights are sold in,
you are ready to complete your Phase IV.
The Phase IV will keep the price of the orig tkt so the cx is not penalized.
3) Display the e-tkt
You will need info from orig tkt for your Phase IV.
4) Start the Phase IV by creating the shell.
Since this is for an adt, the Sabre command is: W¥C
5) The first step in the LUCKEY format is the LIne Entitlement.
The sabre command is: W¥I¥L(segment nbr)-(fare basis code)*(validity dates)*BA(baggage
allowance).
NOte: repeat for evry diff fare basis code.
6)

PHASE IV – L.U.C.K.E.Y
1. Retrieve PNR in Sabre (6-letter record locator)
2. Display the WETR (electronic ticket record)

Create you PhaseIV shell


(use this command if there is only one passenger type on the PNR)
W‡C‡PADT/CNN (use this command when there are more than one passenger type)

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))

C- Add your fare calculation from PQ


W‡I‡C(fare calculation line from the ETR. Type the fare calculation from the beginning
till the end. You must enter exactly as it is listed in the ETR including the spaces.)

K- Add the commission amount (generally will be 0)


W‡I‡K(is the dollar amount which is usually 0.00)

E- Add the airline endorsements


W‡I‡ED/(endorsement line .. found above the fare line in the ETR)

Y- Enter the base fare and XT


W‡I‡YUSD(base fare amount)/(tax break down with tax code, separated by the /)

Divide and Void


D(name field nbr)*(name field nbr = dividing more than 1 pax, ex. D1.1*2.2
TCP = cross referencing
TCP Entries
> add an OSI to ec PNR. sABRE COMMAND: 3OSI(airline code)TCP(# OF PAX)w(LAST NAME/FIRST
NAME)(record locator) = note: 4osi for AA

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)

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)

Hot Fares (Hotwire), Hotwire Bargain Flights

Orbitz Bargain Fares

CheapTickets Bargain Fares

Note: The above types of airfare are known as opaque fares.


= Standalone only (◾Also known as merchant airfare)

1) verify segment status and airfare


2) verify coupon status = display e-tkt = *T
Next, you would display the most recent tkt for one of the pax. Sabre command is WETR*5.
3) Calculate the value of the tkt:
> Pre-Travel Exchange - the value is the cost of the tkt
> En Route Exchange - calculate the value of the tkt using the partial tkt value process
4) Check fare rules
5) discussing terms w/ cx
6) Cxl segments
7) add new oth line
8) Complete the process

Detailed steps to cancel flights in Sabre


1. Display the PNR and verf; flights are present and HK status. Verify the type of
airfare.
 2. Check the tkt status. Confirm all coupons are OPEN status.
 3. Calculate the VALUE of the tkt (Pre travel - total tkt/En route - calculate the
partial tkt value)
 4. Check the fare rules; is the tkt refundable or not, tkt validity, and the penalty fee.
 5. Verify TERMS with the cx. If the customer declines; wrap up call. If the cx accepts;
continue with step 6.
 6. Cancel the flight segments. Use the command XI to cnxl the air space and the OTH line.
 7. Add OTH line back to retain a date of 330 days out from the date of cnxln. This keeps
the PNR from purging until this date. Command; 0OTH(al code)GK(# of pax)(dept city)(date)-
INFO/RETENTION
 8. Complete the process. Non refundable fares *adv the cx of the tkt validity, future
credit amt, and penalty. *Refundable fares - run refund script and queue to AFT for
tkting.

Typical Refund Process


> ref tkts (w/ or w/o pen)
> sched change
> othr - at al discretion
  = extenuating circumstances
  = dup bkings
  = cx does not have a proper docs

Info needed for Docs


The ff info must be documented the PNR when the airline auths a ref:
> waiver code (when supplied)
> agent name
> agent loc
> agent sine (Sabre Sine)
> detailed remarks of why the ref was auth

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.

SABRE REFUND SCRIPTS


All flight segments MUST be cancelled from the PNR before we can request a refund. Failure
to cancel all flight segments from a PNR will result in a ticketing reject and an agent
error.

> 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.

Cnl and Ref Steps


1) cxl tkt
2) check penalty
3) xia
5) add oth
6) add remarks
ex.
5H-GCO/(FREE TEXT)
5H-ADDTNL FREE TEXT)/(VOYAGER LOGIN)/(CURRENT DATE)
7) R
8) ER
9) run the refund sabre script

*PQR - to see details of ref once it has been processed

Name Exchange
eu id:
> Airline name correction and name change policies
> Correct or change the name on a flight ticket
> TSA Secure Flight requirements

When making a name change, you must also update the Secure Flight Information on the PNE
so it matches the name exactly.

steps in name change


1) display pnr
2) check what kind of changes needs to be done in the name, see if its w/in policies,
proceed w/ nbr 3.
3) follow eu or airline policies

name change command


1) -(Name Field No)¤(LName)/(Fname)*(pax type) = change name
2) add osi
3) received
4) er
5) PHASE IV
*P3D = to see info that needed to update TSA
sabre command: 4docs(constant code)/DB/ddmmyy/Gender/Lastname/firstname-name line no
then: ER

after adding tsa delete the old price quote in the pnr

then run the scripts

Airline Schedule Change

> Flight schedule change
> Flight schedule change in the GDS
> Flight segment status codes
> Read a PNR in Sabre

Minimum Connection Times


VCT* = VERIFY ALL FLIGHTS IN pnr
VCT*(SEGMENT NBR) = VERIFY SPECIFIC FLIGHT SEGMENTS

Steps for a Schedule Change = customer accepts


1) display pnr
2) *IA
3) *HIA
4) CHECk THE CONNECTION TIME - vct* or VCT*(segment nbr) = if the connection is not valid,
find a re-protection based on airline policy; or cx accept the re-protection offered by
the airline
5) recap to info cx
6) If the cx agrees to the flights, update the itin.
> cxl old flights
> cfm flights being offered by the al
> docs for re-protection (access eu)
7) Complete a quality check to ensure the ff:
> all segments are in chronological order
> adv the cx the original cxl and change pol apply
> adv cx to contact al for seat assign
8) phase IV = change is involuntary, must keep the same price as the original tkt
9) er
10) addd remarks
11) run sabre scripts
12) queue to AFT for tkting

Steps for a Schedule Change = customer DOES NOT accept


1) display and verify the change, if the al has just cxl the flights and not offered new
ones, you will need to search for new flights for your cx.

Pre_Exchange Process
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
11) Start exchange = IR AND BEGIN RUNNING SABRE SCRIPTS
12) add remarks

Calculating the Add-Collect


T(change key)(new fare)-(old fare) = sabre command in add-collect

*PQS = displat the new and old price quote

Enroute Exchange
eu id:
> How to calculate a partial ticket
> Exchange a flight
> Flight exchange types

Determine the fare type:


1) display pnr
2) *T
3) WETR*(TKT LINE NBR)
4) verify the flight segments the cx wants to change has an open coupon status
5) Enter command to check the fare type
6) select the right fare basis code
7) Look for the fare type line = ow > one way/ rt > round trip
8) After determining the fare type for ec fare basis code on the PNR, you can begin to
calculate the used and unused base fare.

Calculate the unused base fare


one way = Use the fare calculation line to determine how to calculate the unused base
fare. The remaining value is the unused base fare.
Round Trip = Re-calculate

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.

YQ & YR = also known as fuel surcharge - international flight
