  • Understanding Booking Classes There Is Often Much Confusion
    Understanding Booking Classes There is often much confusion around booking classes and fare basis codes. However, once you understand its purpose and how to determine it you’ll realise it is fairly simple. To make your life easier FlightSiteAgent has put together a fact sheet of all you need to know about understanding fare basis codes and booking classes. How to identify fare basis codes and booking class codes? A fare basis code is an alpha or alpha-numeric code used by airlines to differentiate between the various class types and allows airline staff and travel agents to find the rules applicable to each class. The first letter in that code is the booking class code. For example: OLBSA O: Indicates booking class L: Low season SA: Indicates the country, usually used when it is an international fare. The B is airline specific and could indicate anything from whether it is a return fare to what baggage allowance is allocated to the seat. What is the importance of a fare basis code? The letter indicating the booking class is only one in a string of letters and numbers strung together to describe the fare. Fare codes indicate a variety of things such as: Whether the fare is refundable The departure points How far in advance it can be booked How many bags you can check for free Cancellation fees One-way or round-trip tickets Routing restrictions or change penalties. Please note that each airline has its own style for writing codes and the most important thing to understand is the booking class and its set rules.

With Amtrak, you have the capability to encode and decode city information, display availability, fares, and fare rules. You can also display GRS pages, sell seats, price itineraries and produce Amtrak tickets. The IATA approved cod e for Amtrak is ‘2V’. Buses may also appear in Amtrak availability and are booked the same as the train. Although availability and fare display formats are very similar to airline displays, the interpretation of the information in these displays may differ. Amtrak uses city, class, and service codes that have different meanings from the airline definition.

  • US V. Airline Tariff Publishing Company, Et
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Filed: 12/21/92 Plaintiff, v. 92-2854 AIRLINE TARIFF PUBLISHING COMPANY; Civil Action No.: et al., Judge Revercomb Defendants. COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT Pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 u.s.c. § 16 (b)-(h), the United States submits this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgement submittedfor entry with the consent of United Air Lines, Inc., and USAir, Inc., in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING On December 21, 1992, the United States filed a civil antitrust complaint alleging that Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, Trans World Airlines, United Air Lines, and USAir ("airline defendants"), Airline Tariff Publishing Company ("ATP"), and co-conspirators conspired unreasonably to restrain competition among themselves in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § The Complaint alleges two causes of action. The first cause of action alleged in the Complaint is that, during the period beginning at least as early as April 1988 and continuing through at least May 1990, each of the airline defendants and co-conspirators engaged in various combinations and conspiracies with other of the airline defendants and co-conspirators, consisting of agreements, understandings, and concerted actions to fix prices by increasing fares, eliminating discounted fares, and setting fare restrictions for tickets purchased for travel between cities in the United States. These agreements, understandings, and concerted actions were reached and effectuated through each of the airline defendant's use of the computerized fare dissemination services of ATP to (1) exchange proposals and negotiate fare changes; (2) trade fare changes in certain markets in exchange for fare changes in other markets; and (3) exchange mutual assurances concerning the level, scope, and timing of fare changes.

    FLIGHT TRANSPORTATION LABORATORY REPORT R87-7 AIR TRAVEL DEMAND AND AIRLINE SEAT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT PETER PAUL BELOBABA Air Travel Demand and Airline Seat Inventory Management by Peter Paul Belobaba Flight Transportation Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology May 1, 1987 ABSTRACT Many airlines practice differential pricing of fare products that share a common inventory of available seats on an aircraft. Seat inventory management is the process of limiting the number of seats made available to each fare class. The objective of both strategies is to maximize the total revenues generated by the mix of fare products sold for a flight. This dissertation first examines the evolution of airline marketing and seat in- ventory management practices. A demand segmentation model is developed to help explain current airline fare structures. A conceptual model of the consumer choice process for air travel is then presented, and extended to describe the airline reserva- tions process and the probabilistic elements that can affect seat inventory control. A survey of current airline practice in this area revealed that seat inventory control is an ad-hoc process which depends heavily on human judgement. Past work on quantitative approaches has focused on large-scale optimization models that solve simple representations of the problem. A primary objective of this research was the development of a quantitative approach based on the practical constraints faced by airlines. The Expected Marginal Seat Revenue (EMSR) model developed in this thesis is a decision framework for maximizing flight leg revenues which can be applied to multiple nested fare class inventories. It is applied to a dynamic process of booking limit revision for future flight departures, and overbooking factors as well as fare class upgrade probabilities are incorporated.

  • Types of Airfares - Rules and Regulations for Airline Tickets
    Types of Airfares - Rules and Regulations for Airline Tickets 1. What is a Fare? Airfares are most often based on one-way or round-trip travel. Fares may be published, unpublished and/or negotiated fares (corporations, or government agencies/organizations may have fares negotiated with an airline at a lower rate). Unpublished fares are also known as consolidated fares and are offered by consolidators or bucket shops. 2. Published Fares: A published fare is one that is available for purchase by anyone. An unpublished fare works a bit differently. 3. The ABC’s of Airfares When booking a ticket, regardless of whether it is using a published or unpublished fare, there are letters that are assigned to different fares. These letters indicate the class of service, not simply indicating economy or business class, but rather the type of fare that was purchased. 4. Types of Published Airfares Explanations for the different types of airfares such as APEX and full fares. You don't always know what you are going to get when you purchase an airline ticket. Why is it that every person on a flight may have paid a different price to fly? Can you change or cancel your tickets, and if so, at what cost? The airlines have a seemingly secretive formula for constructing airfares. Knowing what types of airfares exist, and how they apply to your travel may not mean that airfares make sense, but you can at least make sense of them. Simply put, an airfare is the price a passenger pays in order to travel by air.
