1.3 ROUTING INFORMATION
A routing is specific route travel that a passenger must follow in
order to obtain the fare. There are 3 types of routings that can be
found from Fare Quote.
All published routings are designated in the routing column of the
Fare Quote response with an applicable two letter global indicator
followed by two digit numeric designation beginning with „01‟, e.g
PA01. Arbitrary two digit numbers are assigned to each global to
distinguish one from another, e.g AT01, AT02
The MPM for an itinerary is based on the outward destination, which is
the farthest point in the itinerary from the origin. Mileage fares in
a fare quote include the MPM as part of the routing definition at the
bottom of the Fare Quote display.

1.4 RESERVATION BOOKING DESIGNATOR – RBD
There will be times when airlines will require different booking codes
for the fares. The „¥‟ besides the booking code notifies the user that there is more than one booking code for this fare.
There are 3 categories of booking code:
Primary booking codes are the inventory indicators for which the
governing carrier of a journey must be booked on the governing segment
of a fare component.
Secondary booking codes refer to inventory indicators on every other
segment of the fare component that is part of the governing carrier‟s
through fare.
Alternate booking code are inventory indicators that refer to
additional booking code values that can be substituted for primary and
/ or secondary segments under certain circumstances.
Entries to retrieve RBD information:

Note: A booking code followed by a ‘¥’ indicates that one or more primary booking codes are present.
In the RBD response, there 4 restriction tags are as follows:
Indicator Description
Permitted The condition is as not as restrictive as the
others mentioned below. If the booking code is not
booked, you can still proceed to apply the
available booking code and fare should be
displayed.
Required The option indicates that booking code shown is
required even if seats are not available in the
PNR to qualify the fare. Otherwise, validation
will fail and fare will not be returned.
Required when available The condition is that you have to apply the
booking code if it is found in the availability
and seats are available. If seats are not
available, you have to proceed to apply next
available booking code in the RBD response.
Required when offered The condition is that the corresponding booking
code has to be used in the itinerary to qualify
for the associated fare, regardless of whether
seats are available. In situation where the
booking code is not shown in that availability,
you can proceed to the next restriction tag.

13.0 RATE DESK PRICING In Abacus Ticketing Module 1, you have learned how to price the PNR using auto-pricing method where system will do the fare checks. A Phase IV ticket record is created for itineraries, which may not be priced by the system automatically. This is also known as Rate-Desk Pricing. Below are some important points to note when creating a Phase IV record. The command must be done with a PNR present in the work area. If passenger type code is not specified in the entry, system will assume ticket record is for adult. All intermediate and/or destination cities will indicate as stopovers by default. If there is an ARNK segment in the itinerary, system will automatically create a void segment. The “TICKET RECORD” field will be flagged as “RATE DESK PRICED”. The following display describes the mandatory elements required to
create a Rate Desk Price (RDP) record.
Qualifier Description

basis code, validity dates and baggage allowance
