This course is designed for travel agents who are not familiar with Amadeus
Reservation System or have recently joined the travel industry.
It can also be used by travel agents who are converting from a GDS to Amadeus.
Happy Learning!
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
What is GDS?
A computer reservations system (CRS) is a computerized system used to
store and retrieve information and conduct transactions related to air travel.
Originally designed and operated by airlines, CRSes were later extended for
the use of travel agencies. Major CRS operations that book and sell tickets
for multiple airlines are known as global distribution systems (GDS).
Modern GDSes typically allow users to book hotel rooms and rental cars as
well as airline tickets. They also provide access to railway reservations in
some markets although these are not always integrated with the main
system.
Who is Amadeus?
Amadeus is a leading transaction processor for the global travel and tourism
industry, providing transaction processing power and technology solutions to
both travel providers (including full service carriers and low-cost airlines,
hotels, rail operators, cruise and ferry operators, car rental companies and
tour operators) and travel agencies (both online and offline).

Definition
The airline industry uses a system that identifies each city, airport, country, state or
airline by a unique code. With these codes, which are administered by the
International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Standards
Organization (ISO), you can identify cities, airports, countries, states and airlines
quickly and efficiently.
Many cities have the same name, but are located in different countries, like Paris:
Many major cities such as Paris, London and New York have more than one airport.
Each airport has its own three-letter code:
In the United States, Australia, Canada, Argentina and Brazil, two-letter state codes
are included to correctly identify the city and the state where the airport is located.
Identical city names in other countries can be distinguished by their two-letter country
code:
Since it is impossible for you to remember all the codes, Amadeus provides you a
function to encode and decode them.
Encode means to convert a full name to its code but decode means to convert a code
to its full name.

The Special Service Request (SSR) element is used to request special services for a
passenger. The special service request differs from the other service information
element as it requires a reply from the airline.
The special service codes are four-letter codes that are standard across the travel
industry. Most special service codes refer to specific services and do not allow free
flow text. Other codes are generic and require free flow text to describe the service.
You use the following structure to request a special service for your passenger:

To modify PNR elements, you use the element number from the PNR as the
reference.
When you are modifying segments or special service requests, you need to know
what the following advice and status codes indicate.
The following table demonstrates the advice codes you can see in a segment or in a
special service request.

Entry Explanation
Rebooking a Segment
HE SB
You can use these entries while creating a PNR, or from a retrieved PNR.
The SB (Should Be) entry follows the same booking guidelines with respect to
Amadeus Access Sell and Direct Access links.
This entry cancels the existing segments and resells the segments using the new
information. If the class of service and/or date is not available, the system
automatically displays a warning message and an availability display.
The system automatically deletes all elements that were segment associated with the
segment(s) being changed.

Splitting a PNR
HE SPLIT
Once you have created a PNR and one of the passengers would like to change their
itinerary, you need to split that passenger into their own PNR.
As splitting a PNR is a very critical action, you must follow the following steps without
applying any itinerary changes. Once you have retrieved the new PNR, make sure
that the airline has sent you a new record locator, and then try to change any
segments in the new PNR.
So always take the following steps into consideration in order to split a PNR:
PNR history consists of a list of numbered elements. The number associated to each
element indicates when that action was performed.
Actions associated with the creation of a PNR are numbered 000; actions for the first
modification are number 001, from the second 002, and so on. Each retrieval and
modification is called a ‘step’.

Queues
HE QUEUE
Travel agents use SSR and OSI formats to communicate with airlines and to inform
them about various information and requests of passengers.
If any changes are made in the status codes of PNR elements; PNRs will be placed
on office queues. So you would be informed about the latest changes in your PNRs
and must do the proper action on them.
There is a queue bank in each single office, consisting of different queues. A specific
queue is assigned to each single action required in the PNR. So each PNR would be
placed on a queue according to the action required.
Since there are different elements with status codes in a PNR such as air, hotel, car,
SSR, etc. each queue is divided into sub-divisions in order to organize the queue.
Also each category is capable of being divided in to date ranges according to the date
the action is required.
Note: Each category can be divided in to the maximum of four date range.
The queue system sorts PNRs and messages into three areas:
3. Date Ranges Date ranges distribute PNRs in the same queue and
category according to the date the action is required.

Note: We must know in which queue, in which category and which date range a
PNR is placed in order to read it.

Date Ranges
The categories of dual queues are divided into four date ranges. The date ranges
divide each category into four sections. When your queue bank is activated, the date
ranges are determined by the system as follows:
