FARE QUOTE DISPLAY

The fare level is indicated by the class of service. Premium or


first class is the most expensive class of service. Economy or
coach class, also called middle or standard class, is the
standard level of service provided to passengers.
Many carriers offer a premium coach class that is less
expensive than first class but more expensive than coach.
Depending on the carrier, this class of service may be called
business class or club class.
Many carriers also offer discounted economy classes that
apply to travel in the economy class cabin but are less
expensive than the full economy, coach, or middle class fare.
Passengers who travel at a discount fare usually receive the
same level of service as other economy or coach passengers,
but the fares have various restrict-ions.
Fare Basis
A fare basis is a price category determined by the class of
service and factors such as the destination, season, day of
the week, one-way or round trip travel, advance
purchase, or the length of the stay. Each fare basis has a
primary code and one or more secondary codes. For
instance, the YAP fare basis applies to travel in the
economy class cabin and requires the ticket to be
purchased before the departure date. The booking class,
or booking code, is used to book a flight segment in the
applicable class of service to obtain a specific fare basis.
Fare Rules

Many fares have specific restrictions. For example, the


passenger may have to purchase the ticket a set number
of days before departure. In some cases, the itinerary
must originate and terminate at the same point, and the
outbound and return segments must be booked on the
same carrier. Other restrictions, such as a minimum stay,
a Saturday stay-over, and penalties for cancelling or
changing the itinerary, may also apply. Thus, discounted
fares are often referred to as restricted fares.
Obtaining a Fare Display
The transaction code FQD is used to obtain a fare display,
as follows:
FQD<CITYPAIR>/<DEPARTUREDATE>
Example FQDMELLAX/21AUG

This example requests fares from Melbourne to Los


Angeles for travel on 21 August. If no departure date is
specified, fares will be displayed for the current date.
To illustrate, assume a passenger plans to travel from
Sydney to Hong Kong on 17 July. The following entry may
be input to obtain a fare display: FQDSYDHKG/17JUL
Either city codes or airports codes may be input.
Each fare is shown on a separate line identified by a line number. The applicable
fare basis code is shown for each fare. Fares are given in local currency, which in
this case is EUR. The one-way fare and round-trip fare are shown in separate
columns. If no one-way fare is displayed, the fare is only valid for round-trip travel.
Any applicable advance purchase, date restrictions, minimum and maximum stay
are also shown. The routing/mileage indicator is shown on the far right. If YY is
displayed instead of an airline code, the fare applies to all carriers. The code R in
the routing column indicates that the fare is based on the routing, and the code M
indicates that the fare is based on mileage.
Specifying a Carrier
To option code /A is used to request fares for a specific airline, as follows:
FQDBRUNCE/14SEP/AAF This example will display Air France fares as well
as common fares applicable to all carriers. The system responds as
follows:
