We shouldnt be sorry for the lack of promotional fares. Not cheap , good price, best price,
best offer.
We should always spell back the names to the customer.
Qatar Airways should appear at the beginning and at the end.
Transit if the passenger wants to get out from the airport, he needs to have a visa, but also he needs to
have one extra hour to check-in again.
Transfering calls only if the passenger wants to speak with Arabic speaker
PRICES
FXX the entry to check the price, it checks if the booking classes (taking into consideration all the
factors e.g. blackouts, flight restrictions, advanced time etc.) are sellable or not. If its sellable, theres
one option.

PZ passenger service tax, we charge it for using the services of Hamad Intl. airport. If the transit in
Doha is less than 12 hours, the pax pays less, if its more than 12 hours, the tax is more expensive
A fare calculation line. It shows how the fare was calculated. IATA created its own currency NUC. Their
create fares in NUCs and then transfer it into currency of this or that country. Every base fare is
calculated in NUC. Neutral Unit of Construction. 1 NUC is 1 USD.
XT extended tax line, sum of all of the taxes detailed in the line
Airline fees the service fee, its set only for market in GBP and euros. Always 25 GBP and always 30
euros. 25 GBP per ticket. Any market which does not work in euros, it will be transformed.
If we are on e.g. Polish market, we take the payment in its currency. So, we start with euros (city of
departure) but then its in zote

Fares:
Two main types:
1) Routing fares main restriction we need to stick to is the routing CDG-DOH-MEL by QR, they are
cheaper because theyre more strict than mileage. The routing is the restriction.
2) Mileage fares very flexible, CDG-MEL, lets say 250000miles, so the passenger can go however
he wants. If the routing fits in 250000miles, its fine. The point: not to exceed specific number of
miles. E.g. CDG-LHR-ARN-DME-HKG-MEL. Its more expensive. The only restriction mileage.
Every airline can sell this fare. Profitable for ff members. Mileage fares:
QR (most of them have QR in the name of the fare basis)-they might be different
IATA mileage fares only 3 mileage fares:
YIF economy IATA fare, one for any mileage ticket in economy
CIF business IATA fare
FIF first IATA fare
LLRTPL+SL l on o/b and s on i/b, if theres a plus, there are two different fares,
Sbk1/v2 it changes two different classes in two different segments
Before we take the payment, we have to inform the customer about the CONDITIONS of the ticket:
1)refunds
2)changes
3)fee
Thats why we need the fare rules:
FQN1-1*LI
1 for the first pricing, pricing option, we have to choose the fare component. In case the components are
not identical, we have to put FQN1-1
-1 fare component
LI the list of all rules
Every paragraph has its own two letter code
Before departure- - before the passenger was on any of the planes , before the customer uses any part of
the ticket. Before the passenger departs, not before the plane departs. No-show is still before the
departure. Cancellations based on the used part.
We cannot change classes for lower, only for higher. The same or higher class.
4/3/2015
FQN1-1*PE
We have to inform about mn and mx stay before taking the payment. We have to tell the customer about
the factors that influence the price in case of changes.
Minimum stay: TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 5
DAYS AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN
WAW-DEL (xDOH) 01apr
Fare origin where the travel begins
Last stopover DEL
DEL-WAW (xDOH) 07apr
Its helpful for the changes, e.g. if the passenger wants to change the ticket before 5 days pass, the price
will be much higher.
The same for maximum stay. In order to be eligible for that fare, you have to stay there up to e.g. 3
months. Why 3 months? Because its a restrictive fare.
WAW-DEL01apr DEL-03aproDOH-07aprWAW its fine, the date fits

Maximum stay: TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO LATER THAN 1
MONTH AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.
One month exactly the same day but next month, e.g. 25 jan25feb
If the journey starts on 15feb, minimum stay:5 days; the earliest date to come back: 20 feb. Mx stay 1
month, the latest date to come back: 15mar
This is displayed on the fqq display: NVA 15mar, NVB 20feb, but sometimes it doesnt
show anything
FQN1-1*mn,mx,pe
If theres a fee for cancellation, it means that the ticket is refundable but at a fee
from unused part of the ticket.
After and before always refer to the first travel. Before the departure did the passenger use any
part of the ticket. Even though the plane departed, the passenger is still before if he didnt take the
plane.
The highest maximum stay is 12 months, the maximum validity.
If we miss the flight cancellation fee+no show fee. Service fee one-time payment, never refundable.
We give back the difference, e.g. base fare 1700, so we give back 500 and airport taxes.
Change plus difference of fare, plus difference in taxes. In case of no show ticket is unchangeable a
new ticket is needed. To avoid no show, the passenger has to call at least 3 hours before the departure.
Change fees are per transaction, e.g. o/b and i/b within one transaction 400, o/b and correction 400
Fees are paid by people who occupy the seats
Two different fares on the ticket, e.g. O and N, we have to compare all the rules, we have to decide
which rule is more restrictive: e.g. 5 days and not 6 days of mn stay we choose the most restrictive
conditions. O/b change - $250+the difference in the fares and taxes. Changes are as per fare component
if the fares are different. Change of 2 components at one time we take just one but more restrictive
one, e.g. $250 and 100 euro. Cancellation is always the most restrictive if its not permitted in one case,
its not permitted even if its allowed in the first case. We present only the binding conditions to the
customer.
No show and changes as per fare component
Cancellations the most restrictive ones for the whole itinerary
If we miss the o/b flight, we cannot take the i/b flight, the ticket is lost if the no-show is not permitted,
we can get the taxes back and buy another ticket, we have to change into one-way.
The most restrictive cancellation fee is applicable to both flights, both o/b and i/b
No show on o/b- we have to rebook everything, theres nothing in the reservation.
To sum up, if we are no show on o/b, we compare no show fee and the change fee
on o/b and change fee on i/b
If we cancel whole itinerary, we choose more restrictive fare.
If we are no show on i/b and we want to cancel the ticket, we choose only
Class O Class N
MN 5d 6d X
MX 1m X 12m
CXL 300 npr

The passenger wants to change o/b before
departure 250, he wants to change i/b 700. He
wants to cancel NOT PERMITTED . No show
only o/b 100+250??? Or 700??? Answer: 700,
because its more restrictive.

Minimum stay rule, e.g. 4D or 1st Sunday whichever is sooner, so less restrictive option. Anyway we
have to mark both options in RIZ in case of changes, RIZ minimum stay 4 days or 1st Sunday.
If the passenger is a no-show on the o/b, we have to re-book all his flights (pick them from the
availability and so on).
Even if the passenger is a no-show on the o/b, he has to change also the i/b, because everything is lost!
So we have to pick more restrictive fareif the cost of the change on the i/b is higher than no-show fee
plus change fee on o/b, we choose the cost of i/b change.

A conjunction ticket one ticket can hold up to 4 coupons, open jaw inside extra
More than 4 coupons (open jaw) we join 2 tickets together, the passenger has it on one ticket, for the
passenger convenience, but it has to be marked on the ticket number, extra numbers (normally there are
10 numbers)
Intra-Gulf flights usually dont have business class. BCN-KWI, BCN-DOHbusiness, DOHKWI only first.
If somebody wants to travel in business from BCN to KWI, he will get first class ticket from DOH to KWI at
the price of business. How to combine the seats? Booking classes in this particular case cannot be the
same. Combinations:
I in business A in first
D in business A in first
C in business P in first
J in business F in first
No other combinations are permitted, any other pairs will not be allowed.

FXX exactly same basis in the fare component
If its the other way round, CDG-SLL in first class (theres no first class in DOH-SLL), its not possible to sell
this ticket, so we inform the customer that the flight is not available.
The only reason to mix cabins is business-first (when the business is not available).

Timings of the train in A are not important, you can take any train on the day of departure and full
calendar day before departure or after arrival. In the direction of the airport fine, it should be the
shortest and the most convenient way to the airport. The passenger can easily change the trains to get
to the airport.
We select sector by sector, ss1yqq1 (three sectors)

many times as we want).
Passengers can also skip the train and go directly to the airport, then at the airport the crew changes
suspends the coupon and everything goes smooth from now on. There are no refunds, the price is the
same both for train- and flight only travel.

Pricing entries:
Fxx theory, it doesnt check the lowest option, it never mentions the lowest price
Fxp
FXR the best buy pricing entry, it always brings us to the lowest possible prices, it checks
availability, it checks against the rules but not in theory, the lowest fare possible that meets all of the
rules, it gives us actual solution. It takes mn, mx, blackouts, flight restrictions etc., correct price, tickets
sellable, but only FRESH booking. We can use it in Gulf itineraries and for train itineraries. We cannot use
it for mixed business and economy booking class, it does not work in case of travelling in 2 different
cabins, because it brings us to the lowest possible.
If the customer wants something more flexible, we have to use fxx and higher booking class.
To get the best price we should always use FXR.
Mm mx and mn at once
Twdrt return to previously displayed ticket
Manual rebooking (rbking)
There are two ways: manual and atc (Amadeus ticket changer, it calculates all the difference)
ATC we re-issue ticket, manual - we re-book the ticket , we check availability, we calculate the
difference, the cost of change, we put a new segment, we send it to special queue, before the ticket is
changed, the back-agent checks it, issues it and sends it to the customer.
A.Before departure :
1. Who issued the ticket? We open the pnr and check the passengers. We need to open the 157-ticket
and check IATA office identification (pv/). Two options:
QR CC, ATO, CTO, IBE any QR sales channel, we can always proceed with changing the price
Travel Agency :
Before departure we cannot change the ticket, the office that issued the ticket
should handle it, but 96 hours rule: if its up to 96 hours before departure in urgent cases
(e.g. travel agency is closed for the weekend), its up to 96 hours from the call to the
departure. If the new date of departure exceeds 96 hours (e.g. the flight was set for the
8th of March and the passenger wants to change it for 20 th of March), we remove the
segments to avoid no-show (we remove the o/b by using xe2,3), but we should not
change the ticket.
After departure at least one coupon is flown, we can always change TAs ticket,
as per rules and conditions.
STA this ticket is completely closed for us, we cannot change it any time.
2. Conditions twdtkt. In order to check the rules of already issued ticket, we have to use fare quote
display, city pairs, date of departure (it influences also the seasonality), date of issuance (on the example
below theres no advance, that was the same day), booking class (we look at the first letter of the fare,
not at the booking class, because it might be different for intra-Gulf flights).
FQDBRUMEL/D31OCT15/R,31OCT15/CY
And then fqn1*mm,pe
- no fees, but we still need to check them + there are some fees nrf non-refundable
Ap advanced purchase, always mentioned in days min in days max in months
R indicates if its a mileage or a routing fare dates/days-seasonality, if theres a plus, there are more
restrictions and we have to check them
We check the conditions for the fare on the ticket (F8)
fqn4*pe
FQDBRUMEL/D31OCT14/R,31OCT14/CL for the i/b (because we compare it and cut in half)
No open-jaw exactly the same city pair
Childs fare:
We can skip childs indicator, because it does not influence the conditions
fqdwawktm/d20may15/r,19jan15,-chx/cd - exactly the same fare conditions, but still we can
reach it from this entry
fqdwawktm/d20may15/r,19jan15,-in/cd for the infant
STPC
Stop-over for the purpose of connection
1.Connecting time at HIA more than 8 hours, less than 24 hours. Immediate connection shorter than 8
hours. How long does the passenger have to stay at HIA.
2.Is there any immediate connection on that day? Only on the segment going to and out from Doha.
3.Are there any seats available in the same cabin? (not the same booking class, but the booking class can
be only higher than the previous one)
3.Purely QR flights:
QR is operating an immediate connection with seats available in the desired cabin - we cannot offer
hotel but we can change passengers flight at proper fees so that he does not have to wait so long.
Anyway, the passenger is not eligible for STPC.
QR is operating, but there are no seats available in the desired cabin. We cannot re-book the passenger,
so we allow STPC but not for free, because there was an immediate connection, but the passenger did
not book it. Paid STPC is permitted. $125 per person in economy, $150 per person in business and first.
QR is operating, there are no seats available in the immediate connection but theres one in the middle.
To use paid STPC we have to put the passenger into the closest possible flight, the next after the
immediate connection. If we re-book him, he will be eligible for paid stpc, if we do not re-book him, he is
not permitted for any stpc.
QR is NOT operating any immediate connection, all the connections have the transit time between 8 and
24 hours. OTQ passengers have to pay for STPC. Booking class is higher than otq in economy and all
business and first class. The passenger is already booked for the shortest connections on that day, the
passenger is eligible for STPC paid $125 (economy OTQ) or free of cost (economy other than OTQ,
business and first).
QR, there is no immediate connection and the desired cabin on the second shortest connection is sold-
out the next connection with seats available in the desired cabin on particular date, we will make the
passenger eligible for STPC (paid OTQ, free of cost all the rest).
Tickets booked with miles: redemption tickets. The passengers are also eligible for STPC, but for
redemption tickets, STPC is ALWAYS PAID.
The passenger upgrades his ticket with miles (from economy to business) we collect the charge as per
business class if the class was not originally for free. If it was originally for free, we dont take any extra
money.
Itineraries that involve GCC countries STPC is not permitted, neither paid, nor free. It does not include
Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is excluded.
We dont provide STPC for children travelling alone, the flight attendant has to take care of the child.
No STPC for meda passengers, because they need special medical documentation.
No STPC for the passengers with temporary passports.
Code-share flights rules are the same, but both of them are at least marketed by QR and at least one is
operated by QR. Then we use general rules.
Interlines (marketed and operated by other airline than QR): interline going to or out of Doha STPC is not
permitted, no STPC at all.
Whats included:
1. Transit visa to exit this airport
2. Hotel shuttle
3. Accommodation
4. Vouchers for food (100QAR from 11 to 19 hours stay in economy, 19 to 24 hours 150QAR,
premium 11 to 19 175QAR, 19 to 24 250QAR), meal allowance is not refundable. Under 11 hours
theres no voucher at all. Economy 3-star hotel(at least, theres no name fo the hotel on the
confirmaiotn), business 4-star hotel, first 5-star hotel (the name of the hotel is written on the
confirmation)
Time frame: 3 days, less than 3 days the passenger has to ask at the airport. 3-5 days is urgent, but we
can still try to do it.
If two people are in the same PNR, they should get the same room, if they are not in the same PNR, we
cannot guarantee that, we can guarantee that only if the passengers are the immediate family members.
12/3/2015
STPC
Russian citizens they might not get visa, so they cannot get out of the airport during stpc. So we try
first at the airport
If somebody cannot get the visa, we will still provide stpc
Third party payment passport details are needed
RT it brings us to the top of pnr
RTR it displays only remarks
RTF all the tickets, endorsement line, payment, validation, all of the possible elements connected with
fares
RTG it displays special requests, also passport details
RTQ it displays queues
QM42/48 to send it to two different queues at a time if both queues are at the same office (no. 42 and
48)
QXPand number of the line to delete pnr of this or that queue
The number of seats is not enough no seats available pax eligible for stpc (everyone has to have
exactly the same fare) but he has to pay

One passnger can be a ff of more than one airline, but he cannot get miles for both cards at once, he has
to decide for which card it is.
How to add ff number to the booking so that the passenger can get his points:
FFNQRtwo-letter airline code-ffnumber
FFNQR-20085864
It updates automatically seats, phone numbers, passport details etc.
SSR FQTV YY HK1 thats what we see after
Its not possible to open BA members profile, but we can add his number:
FFNBA-30005568
We can also combine the pnrs p.ex. parents decide to travel with their child
1) OS another service information
OS QR TCP(two complete parts) pnr number OS QR TCP 3MIF58
Also for the cabin wheelchair, we put the PNR so that the pax is accompanied by fully abled
person.
2) We have to do it in both pnrs, the same structure in the second reservation
1) security?
2) who issued the ticket? QR sales channel ok, except for Qatar GAS and Qatar Foundation, TA only
urgent cases, less than 96 hours
3) twd/l and then pv/
4) conditions if the ticket is changeable and re-routable FQD
5) fqd and then fqn ok, changes permitted
6) when the pax wants to travel? Dates
7) we check the availability, we cannot give them lower booking class, an etc. There are new segments
added, they are much longer than the other ones
8) repricing: fxx/s4-7(because its just for the new o/b and still the old part of the return)/r,fx (it
doesnt show the service fee),par (point of issuance): FXX/S4-7/R, FX,PAR
9) we have to compare base fare to base fare, taxes to taxes and we add the day change fee. FQQ
Calculation:
Change fee eur 100.00
difference in base fare eur 20.00 to give back (because the ticket is REFUNDABLE in case of cancellation)
PZ airport fee
We calculate the difference in taxes one by one, each by each, tax difference: eur 2,95
Total cost: eur 82,95
100-20=80 80+2,95=82,95
If the ticket is non-refundable for cancellation, we do not give the money back
10) we inform the pax about the total cost of change
11) rf dm;er to save the new segments, we save in spite of the error concerning segments continuity
12) recap (we still keep the old segments )
13) payment, cc holder name, bank, billing address, we cannot have two cards in this situation, we use
rtf to delete the previous card, we delete this form of payment and we type also the original form of
paytqtment with the type of the card:
If the ticket is not refundable, taxes are refundable anyway, only the fuel surcharge is not refundable, the
rest is refundable
If we rebook the passenger and even if the change concerns only one fare component but the other
one has to be upsold, we have to take two different day change fees into consideration and choose the
most restrictive one.
If the pax upgrades his ticket, he doesnt pay the change fee. Then he pays just fare difference and
If the ticket is not changeable, you cannot upgrade. Change of flight number, of date, of
routing, of booking class.
We always compare original fare basis to original fare basis, not the equivalents.
16/3/2015
FXT3/P1,3 (two adults) and FXT4/P2 (a child) to store the price for 3 passengers
Booking outside system range we leave a remark that the pax wants to come back after more than 12
months and after for example a month, when the availability is already there, we collect the difference in
fares and taxes but no day change fee
17/03/2015
Published fares
Unpublished fares available only for some offices
The original ticket still counts originally nrf ticket will remain nrf even if it was upgraded to fully flexible
business class
We mention separately dcf, dit, dof for each passenger type, so separately for pax 1, pax2 etc., also for
the infant.
Residual value when we give the money back to the passenger. ONLY if the original ticket is refundable.
We cannot combine the residual values between the passengers.

Downgrading tickets:
Economy class we cannot downsell but we can upsell the ticket.
Business we cannot downsell either, but we can downgrade which involves changing the cabin type.
We charge day change fee as for business.
If the ticket is not refundable in business, we dont give the money back.
We cannot downgrade from business to promotional classes.
We should always exchange base fares in original currency and then change it into
the currency of the market
LON
XDOH QR 8 N N 06NOV 1505 NLRTGB 30
DEL QR 564 N N 07NOV 0130 NLRTGB 30
XDOH QR 563 N N 16NOV 0435 NLRTGB 10NOV 30
LON QR 3 N N 16NOV 0745 NLRTGB 10NOV 30
In that case we have to do fqc324gbp/pln instead of taking 1709 pln and do the
calculation
If we have difference in taxes in two different currencies, we can reprice the ticket again instead of
recalculating the taxes one by one, e.g. were on UK market, but the original ticket was issued on Polish
market, so the taxes are in plnfxx/s2,3,5,6/r,fx,waw to be able to compare the taxes in the same
currency, but then we have to exchange it into pounds anyway, but each separately!!!

Interline itinerary:
We have more than one airline, e.g. DUS-BKK, DUS-TXL Air Berlin, TXL-BKK QR.
Codeshare- marketing carrier and the operating carrier.
CX:QR codeshare between Cathay Pacific and Qatar Airways from Doha to Hong Kong. Passengers can
buy these tickets both from QR and CX. Benefits for the airlines: we extend our routes, Cathay Pacific
gets passengers, both lines get money.
Wet lease - one airline provides the other with the aircraft, staff and so on, but it doesnt sell tickets for
the flight, e.g. FlyBe and Finnair Manchester-Helsinki.
Difference: wet lease is marked by *, codeshare :
We never book codeshares which are not marketed by us.
Codeshare we sell tickets on our stock number.
Interline - we book tickets on other airlines stock number. Interline billing some of the money goes to
the operating airline.
The factors that influence the possibility of selling an interline ticket:
1) Permitted routing
2) Permitted airline
To check the airline, we use fqd, e.g. FQDPRGSIN/D10MAY15/R,23MAR15
The booking class might not be the same as on QR flights.
To check the permitted routing FQR and line number, only displayed routings are available:
FQR20
1 * PRG-LH/OK-FRA-LH-MUC-QR-DOH-SIN
2 * PRG-LH/OK-FRA/MUC-QR-DOH-SIN

10 * PRG-VY-ROM-QR-DOH-SIN
An15mayprgsin/xbcn/aok,qr from Prague to Singapore through BCN with Czech Airlines and
QR, we use this entry after we open the fare display and after we check the routing and the airline with
FQR. We do it to select the options which are really possible, thats why we check fqr first.
MPFQD move to the previously opened FQD.
Even though interline carrier might have different fare basis, the fare basis for QR is binding on all the
parts of the journey. Its called a trough-fare. The fare basis we offer is the same all the way.
PRG BCN OK ? LLOWDE
BCN DOH QR L LLOWDE
DOH SIN QR L LLOWDE
To check ? (booking class on interline flight) we insert FQSline number/Aand airline name
FQS16/AOK
The booking class on the interline has to match our booking class in value.
We have to check default exceptions:
If via QR if we want to use QR fare
Then via OK N/V required when available with Czech Airlines we have to use N or V booking class
Then via OK Q required if n or v are not available, we have to use Q class
If via ** - we dont care about it, it doesnt matter for us
Ss1nll1 we book one seat in different booking classes, n for the first flight and l for the second and
the third
The same conditions are valid for both ways, for the return flight its the same.
We always look for the fares on QR flights.
We can book wet lease agreement in the interline tickets. We cannot book code shares.
To check the return flight, we still have to use the mirror reflection entry!!!
If the class is not available on the interline flight, we have to change the fare on QR.
Step by step:
1) Availability
2) Check fare in FQD (mirror reflection for the return)
3) Check the routing and the airline in FQR
4) Check RBD on 0AL fqsx/Axx
5) Choose the flights from the availability, price the ticket and so on.
If we sell the seats from codeshare flight and QR is the marketing carrier, we dont have to worry about
the booking class on that flight. Codeshare with QR marketing the flight is not considered as an interline.
Unaccompanied minor UMNR
Person from 5 to 11 years old travelling alone we book this person as an adult (adult fare). If anyone
wants to have service regarding umnr, he has to pay adult fare. LP/*S(UMNR)/QR006/12OCT
Theyre not allowed to seat next to an adult male, near emergency exits, the child must be seated within
the reach of the aircraft crew. The child always leaves the aircraft at the very end of the journey.
We have to remember about confirming umnr.
UMNR is obligatory for the child between 5 and 12.
If we forget about putting the age of the child (ss1l1/um09), we can always add special requests
manually:
SR UMNR-UM10
Dear SOD,
Could you please confirm the UMNR/YP as for the following booking:
(we paste the pnr and highlight the most important data)
I would be grateful for your help.
Payment options:
Credit card
Cash
Third-party payment option it has to be verified online (preferred version) or at the airport or at the
city office
PayPal
Bank transfer it must be at least 15 days in advance. Except for OTQ.
Debit card UK only, but it doesnt work always
Instant ticketing the ticket has to be issued at the time of booking, It refers to OTQ (promotional)
classes. Bank transfer cannot be used for OTQ classes.
The price is guaranteed only until the end of the day. We can create RBD which is valid for 24 or 48 or 72
hours etc., but then the price is not guaranteed.

Interline booking shortcut:
1) Fqd
2) Fqr when we are sure that the routing and the airline is fine, we look for it in the availability
and then we search for the seats
3) Fxr it gives us the best price and automatically brings us to the right booking class and we dont
have to look for it
Not issued ticket - instead of sending the correction request to the back office, we can choose new
availability, if its exactly the same, we create a new booking. If the particular booking class is not
available any more, we add remarks to the existing PNR, we send it to the queue, the back office corrects
the name and we ask the passenger to call us back and we issue the ticket for the correct name.
Normally it takes up to the end of the day (sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes 2 hours).
QE/DOHQR0982/21C0
Issued ticket we check if theres the same availability, we create the pnr for the same classes, if theres
no availability, we create a ghost booking and then we create pnr, we also have to queue it, send it to QR
helpdesk and leave the remarks.
If somebody forgets to add child remark in the name, we can add sr chld/p1 to fix it.
Refunds
1) Fresh tickets, not flown
YQ fuel surcharge is not refundable only if the ticket is not refundable. If the ticket is refundable at a
fee or without a fee, we give the money back to the customer.
Ticket made online refund request must be set online, qr websitehelprefund request
We have to inform that the cancellation fee will be deducted from the refundable amount. We inform
the customer about the refundable amount of money.
Validity of tickets 1 year if the ticket was not flown, if the ticket is cancelled before departure, we can
request the refund up to one year after the date of issuance.
No show- segments are inserted in the booking
We cancel the segments so that we release the seats and the passenger avoids the no-show.
After cancelling all of the segments, we have to write:
Ru1ahk1 (hk and the number of the passengers) place of issuance date of issuance/free text
Ru1ahk1 zrh 31oct/tkt left for future rbking
We have to put remarks e.g. rm pax clld to cancel tkt and left it for future rbking, pax advsd of dcf and so
on.
If the ticket was issued in our office, we queue it for QE43.
If theres no form of payment, we have to take the credit card details once again, write it in excel file and
send it to this address:
customersupporteu@eu.qatarairways.com
Filesave astoolsgeneral options
Then we have to send a separate message to the same e-mail address to reveal the password (we set it
on our owns).
If it was made by the TA, we send the passengers to the TA and they have to do it.
2) Partly flown tickets
After the fare is not valid any more, the passenger can only upsell the ticket so that he can change it.
If the fare is valid e.g. one month from 25 th of January, the passenger has to call us before the 25 th of
February to request the refund or rebooking.
DOI 31 oct 14 booking class o, mx 1 month
o/b is on 25th of jan 15
i/b 24th of feb 15
ticket valid until 31 oct 15
Repricing: to refund this partly flown ticket, we have to reprice the ticket as per day of issuance, we dont
take half of return ticket but we have to take into consideration the lowest one way fare, then we
compare both base fares and if theres anything left to be given back, we give it back, if theres nothing
left, we compare taxes one by one, any cancellation fee is deducted from the remaining part . If there
is nothing to be given back, we dont charge any extra cancellation fee!!! If theres
nothing left to be given back to the passenger, we dont charge any cancellation fee!!!

Refunds:
Either a refund or a voucher for further transportation
At the time of storing the price we create two different masks TST and TSM which is the mask of the
voucher.
To open TST we use TQT, transitionally stored mask of a voucher
To open TSM we use TQM
To issue TST we use TTP/T2
To issue TSM we use TTM/M1
To open ticket we use TWD/l number of the line
To open EMD we use EWD/l number of the line with DTQR
TSM is a soft copy of EMD Electronic Miscellaneous Document=voucher
S stand alone EMDs , theres no need to have any ticket, because we can simply use our voucher
A associated EMDs , for example if the pax buys excess baggage, emd is issued and this particular emd
is associated, because theres no point in having excess baggage if you dont have the ticket.
Residual value for future air transportation and or refund we inform the customer that he can either
have his money back or use it for future transportation
REFUND
TMI the entry which lets us modify the mask of the voucher, because every reissued document has to
have the reissued payment line
TMI/m1/fp-o/cash+
M1 is for mask no. 1 , cash+ - this is the previous form of payment
Then we delete the new segments, we recap, we issue new ticket
TTP/T2/TTM/M1/RT it issues the ticket and the voucher at once
Serial number of emd usually starts with 8
Status of EMD:

We inform about the validity of the EMD one year minus one day for the DOI of EMD. This is just for
one passenger, only in contact center. Family members cannot take advantage of it. If theres a change of
name, e.g. marriage or divorce the voucher cannot be used. The pax can use the voucher either this or
that day until 27th March 2016.
We have to check who issued the original ticket. If we didnt take the money, we cant give it back. We
have to check PV. If its Wroclaw, we queue it for QE43 rm tkt changed with emd, pax wants emd
refund, please refund emd
If its any other CC, TA, IBE they need to contact the office which issued the original ticket and they
process the refund.
We send the voucher to the customer and he has to contact this or that office for the refund.
If the pax wants to keep the voucher, we send it to the voucher.

15. Queue QM42/48 or QE42C1
We have to be very careful with difference of fare, because we move it to the past, so the rate of change
might be different: fqc11eur/pln/27mar15
Before departure we always charge it as per that day
After departure we have to keep in mind that it was issued in past, so we have to change the date
If the passenger calls us back already after rebooking and ATC doesnt work, we have to check the
conditions with FQD, so we have to open the previous ticket, we have to find the first ticket with flown
coupon:
Fqd mirror reflection of the city pair/D original date of departure because its AFTER departure (if it was
before departure, we would have the new date/R, original date of issuance/new booking class
FQDMXPBOM/D27MAR15/R,27MAR15/CY
Outbound date and date of issuance should be taken from the first ticket with used coupons.
Ticket validity:
Date of issuance: 13th apr 14 ticket valid until: 12th apr 15
Fare validity:
The fare starts when the flight starts
To process with change, either the first or the second element must be valid.
So, if the fare is just for one month, we can still process the change of partially flown flight, because the
ticket is still valid, even if the fare is not. If the ticket is not valid any more, we can do nothing.
If the ticket is not valid, but the fare is still valid, we can still process the changes.
Changes and refunds can be processed before departure, when all the coupons are open then only
ticket validity counts. If the ticket is partially flown, either the ticket or the fare must be still valid to
process the changes.
The fare validity might be longer than the ticket validity, because the fare validity starts at the time when
we take the first flight and the ticket validity starts when we purchase the ticket, e.g. DOI 31dec14 ,
date of OB 01jun15, fare validity 1 year the ticket is changeable until 01jun16.
MEDA CASE
Meda case in general when this is a current state. If somebody has been paralised since the day he was
born, it is not a meda case.
Documents:
Medif special form, our form which has to be filled and stamped by doctor. No less than 48 hours and
no more than 7 days before departure.
Medical certificate a regular medical documentation, just w piece of paper from the doctor stating that
the passenger is fit to travel and there are no contraindications.
Indemnity form document which has to be signed by pax stating that QR will do its best to clear the
board from the allergen but still there might be passengers who want to bring it with them onboard
If the ticket is unchangeable but the passenger has to be upgraded due to medical condition, we should
consult our team leader so that the pax can be rebooked.
Meda cases are held by ticket offices. What we do is:
a) Contact details name, phone number, email address
b) Description of the case
c) Email to team leadercity office
If the customer is not sure whether the allergy is mild or severe, we should advise them to consult it
with his doctor.
If its mild:
SSR SPML-allergy to mango and kiwi/s2/p1
We need at least 4 hours to process mild allergy case. Then: email to BO:
customersupporteu@eu.qatarairways.com in title mild allergy case-allergy form request pnr: xxxx
HK status confirmed
TK there was a time change, the time is different than original but this flight for this particular
passenger is confirmed
UN unable to confirm, this flight doesnt operate any more
UC the flight operates but the seat is not confirmed any more, e.g. when the aircraft is changed to the
smaller one with fewer seats
31/3/2015
If the passenger fails to take the flight and he is a no-show on the outbound, we compare no show fee
and day change fee (sum of these amounts) on the outbound to the day change fee on the inbound and
we take the most restrictive one, e.g. outbound: dcf 50 eur, no show fee 100 eur, inbound: dcf 200 euro,
we charge 200 euro.
*misconnection after schedule change the connection time is less than required (Doha : QR-QR, 45
minutes, QR-any other airline 1 hour)
Schedule changes:
Minor/major if its more than two hours of difference, then we consider it as a major change. Possible
procedures:
1. Reissue the number of ticket changes, theres a new document. ONLY when the routing
changes, for example when the airline is not operating because of some accident, strike etc. LHR-
DOH-KTM LHR-DOH-DELAir India KTM. This is an involuntary reissue.
2. Revalidation only an adjustment of existing ticket, theres no new document, its still the same
ticket, but modified. Changes of: flight number, date, timings
When we change the booking class due to major change, first we try to put him into the same booking
class, then if its not available we should put him to the lowest possible booking class within the
same cabin. Conditions are always as per original ticket.

5. We have to change stopovers to transits in Doha to do so we change cursor to insert, we

appear at the airport every time
6. On the right top corner Pfd to display the whole itinerary. PMD to go back to tst
7. Remarks
8. Deleting old segments
9. Reissue TTP/T2/RT
There was a schedule change, o/b was revalidated and now pax wants to change the o/b voluntarily. We
can process the rebooking for the outbound after schedule change in ATC only if we dont include the
involuntarily changed segments, so we use fxf only with 2 new segments and the segments for the
inbound.
Ticket had a schedule change on o/b, it was revalidated, now the pax wants to change i/b voluntarily
we have to check the history of the ticket so that we know when was the original date of travel (because
with revalidation we can move the flight for 14 days), in that case we cannot use ATC, because we cannot
include the fake segments : TWH/XT (extended history of the ticket, we look for ISSUE segment,
because its originally paid outbound) we need to combine it with new inbound:
FQPwaw/aqr/cb/d24juldohjnb-/aqr/cl/d17augdohwaw-/r,fx,wro to make
the simulation for the price as per original details of travel, we can do it purely theoretically without
segments we have to compare the old ticket with the new fare basis (fqq), if the transit time is not
longer than 12 hours, we do not take the difference in PZ into consideration (because FQP always
assigns the highest PZ rate after the change), we do RHI and we check the transit time in Doha

All the problems related to online operations
If theres discrepancy between the rules and the ticket was purchased on our website, we ask
the pax to send the confirmation (forward pdf) to customersupporteu@eu.qatarqirways.com,
pnr number in the subject.
The page went blank after the pax inserted his cc details, we can check if the payment was
successful:

User name: dmroz password: a770BWDM19
We can check it ONLY if the booking was made online, we cannot check it if it was done over the
phone or in the city office, ONLY ONLINE
Merchant reference number RM MERCHANT_REF:X44NYS140115 pnr number and the date of
booking, this is how we can access the payment using eurocommerce, we copy merchant
reference to the customer reference box (we have to tick null first) and then we have to check
steps
Workflow steps:
Authorization: declined (violation of cc limit or theres no money on the account) or
approved. If it was declined, the money was surely not taken. If its approved, the money
is taken. If its approved, we can easily issue the ticket.
Settlement: initialized, approved, unknown. All of these statuses indicate that the money
was taken. Void the payment didnt go through, the merchant didnt get the money.
Void approved there was an attempt of taking the money but it was not successful, so
we didnt take it.
Fraud decline
The payment was taken twice when we can differ two elements of OnAuth Approved
Procedure to waive the service fee and use tst made online
1. The error occurred on the payment level we have to ask the passenger
2. The first airport must be a European market airport one of the markets we serve, so that we
can charge the fee in the proper currency
3. FP line is not there if FP line is already in the booking, it means that the payment went through
4. Ticketing element must be tkxl
5. Theres no remark on hold. Qataraairways.comBookpayment optionslink at the bottom:
these options are binding only for online booking. Pay later/offline under certain circumstances
the pax can put the booking on hold and up to 72 hours to decide whether he wants it or not. In
that case we do not waive the service fee, because the passenger can easily manage his booking
within the time frame given in his reservation. Its the same for the city offices in the country of
departure. For both booking on hold and city office payment we always have to stick to the
country of departure (currency reasons). Then the service fee is not taken (even in the city
office).
6. We take the payment and we issue the ticket.

Denied boarding we can NEVER describe this error to the passenger we advise the customer to
proceed the check-in at the airport.
Online upgrade an offer randomly sent to our customers to change the booking class to business. The
offer is sent as for booking, either every passenger from the booking receives it, or none of them. One-
time offer, theres no chance to change it. Before reissue one segment is duplicated, the only difference
is the booking class I for business and A for first. The conditions: the amount is not refundable, if the
pax wants to change the flight, he goes back to the original booking class and he is not given the money
back.
IONUPG base fare for upgraded booking class, we have to deal with it in the same way we deal with
revalidated tickets (we have to open the history etc.).
