What is Agency Private Fares
Agency Private Fares is a product which provides travel agencies with the ability to create their
own database of negotiated fares.
Discount fares, Flat Rate fares and Net fares may be stored for both International and North
American markets.
The agency that maintains and controls the negotiated fares information is referred to as the Host
Location. The Host Location creates a Private fares Record (PFR) using Account and Contract
codes to identify specific carrier agreements. These Account and Contract codes are then used
by retail locations to access the negotiated fare information through Fare Display and Fare Quote.
The Host Location will advise the retail locations when negotiated fare information is available
and will provide the relevant account and contract codes. Once the negotiated fare details have
been stored, all the information is available and eliminates the need to use reference sources
such as manuals or paper records.
Fare Display
H/PFFD
Privatefares is designed to integrate Private and Published fares into one Fare Display. The Low-
to-High display makes it easy for you to choose between a published fare and a private fare to
provide the best quote for your customer. Privatefares are identified by a hyphen ( - ) next to the
carrier code. Fare Display modifiers may be used with Privatefares with the exception of validated
fares display, booking class codes and fare type. Entries are similar to normal Fare Display
entries, with the addition of the Private Fare Modifier.

For example:
H/FBT
In the build shown below, 4 passengers are travelling, of which passengers 1, 2, and 4 are adults,
passenger 3 is a child.
To minimise the number of screens to be completed, the smallest group should be first in the
input request, followed by the larger groups.
Example:
1. Create the Manual Fare build screens for all passengers, smallest group (the child) first.
FBCP3*CNN.1–2.4
2. The child screen is displayed first. Complete this using FBU entries.
4. The first adult screen is automatically displayed. Complete this using FBU entries.
