Worldspan offers millions of fares for cities worldwide. Fare and rule text displays contain the complete information filed by individual airlines. Airlines’ fare, rule, booking code and routing information is loaded via automated data received from the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO) and SITA - Integrated information and telecommunications solutions (formerly known as Societe Internationale Telecommunique Aeronautique) databases providing the most accurate information available. ATPCO transmissions follow the schedule below.

International:

MON-FRI: 01:00, 05:30, 11:00, 15:00, 20:00 SAT-SUN: 17:00

Domestic U.S. and Canada

MON-FRI: 10:00, 12:30, 20:00 SAT-SUN: 17:00

• Specific Airline – fares for a specified airline • Money Saver – all airlines’ fares • Joint – fares with more than one airline in the routing, published as a single amount • Historical fares – past 13 months of fare and rule data

The function identifier to access fares is 4F plus the city pair (this displays the airline’s own fares). Options can be appended to the original entry to further define the fares, for example, travel dates, passenger and fare type codes and/or airline codes. There are also many continuation entries that quickly change the criteria of the original request.

Joint fares apply to the U.S. including Hawaii and Alaska. They also apply between the USA and Canada or within Canada. Joint fares involve interline travel between two airlines. The joint fare display function identifier is 4J. The 4J works similar to the 4F and all 4F options apply (i.e., If a travel date is not entered, the default is today). If a fare type is not entered the default is normal and excursion fares (NLX). MR, ML, MRS, MRR and MRA commands apply. A unique option applying to joint fares is -A. Denoting ALL airlines and displays ALL joint fares. In addition, you can specify a connection city, # (city code), limiting the display to those fares and airlines connecting in the specified city.

Ultimate Fare Search

Reference: HELP UFS INFO 4F/L

Ultimate Fare Search (UFS) is a date-related option that can be added to any of Worldspan’s fare display types, narrowing the parameters of the fare search. It automatically edits the fare request for one or more of the following: seasonal restrictions, advance purchase requirements, day-of-week applications (edits departure and return date individually), effective dates, minimum/maximum stay requirements, blackout, fare discontinued and travel completion dates. It does not edit for time of day, routing, specific flight number or airport. The MRS (move right seasonal) entry applies when viewing the airline’s fares or specifying another airline. Any options found under HELP UFS can be applied to a 4F entry. The UFS options are always appended at the end of the entry.

Some common options are listed below.

Code Explanation /L All edits – Based on departure date /R Minimum/maximum stay – based on returned date. /S Seasonal search /B Blackout search /A Advance search /W Day-of-week /E Effective date 4F*/LCXL Cancels UFS requested

Industry standards direct the display of currencies and how to construct and display fares when currencies are combined. Worldspan does this automatically. Pay particular attention to any special notes (usually lines 3 and 4) indicating MULTIPLE CURRENCIES APPLY - FARES CALCULATED FOR COMPARISON and the currency code in the next header line. Below are a few examples.

Cities separated with a slash (/) indicate either/or. Cities separated with a dash (-) indicate TO that city, but any city can be omitted. The asterisk (*) indicates the END of that routing.

The routing on the previous example means: From ATL to STL or CHI or DFW on American Airlines. Connecting to American Airlines through SJC or RNO to LAX or Connecting to American Airlines in either DEN or LAS to LAX. or Connecting to American Airlines in PHX or SFO to LAX Or From ATL on American Airlines connecting in BHM to American Airlines to LAX
