PF* - Passenger search by last name in all open flights for the day. Acceptance on the flight.

KIU DCS provides the facility to search for a passenger in all open flights for the actual date by only knowing the last name and boarding airport. The command to use is as follows:

The input above allows the searching for a passenger using his/her last name initial letter or the full last name. The accuracy will increase by adding more last name letters to the search.

Passenger acceptance for check-in can be done once the passenger is located. The only requirement is to transmit the following command before the corresponding PU entry:

See example below:

Two passengers traveling together with same last name:

When there are two or more passengers booked together with different last name but on same PNR, the command PF*<Last Name> of one of them will display all passengers on same PNR so they can be accepted at check-in as they are traveling together (e.g. below)

Three passengers with different last name but on same PNR:

KIU DCS also allows the searching for passengers with different last names, no matter if they are on the same PNR or not. The input is as follows:

Searching for a passenger in all open flights for the current date and boarding from a different airport is also available using the following input:

Searching for more than one passenger departing from a different airport and with different last names:

Accepting Passengers

After searching for a passenger in order to accept him/her, the number (ITEM) he/she has on the list should be selected.

Accepting passengers without baggage and without seat selection

In order to accept passengers without baggage nor using seat selection, first search for the passenger and then upload him/her using the PU or passenger upload command.

Description:

As passengers are accepted on the flight, the system assigns them a sequence number or boarding number 

Sequence number never changes, meaning that if a passenger gets offloaded it will keep the same number that was assigned when checked in, except if passenger is re-accepted on the flight, in this case the system will assign a new sequence number, correlative to the the last number assigned 

The number of passengers accepted will be in the totals displayed on the control panel (PC) and also in the traffic manifest (PW).

The system updates the E-ticket status from O (OPEN FOR USE) to C (CHECKED IN).

Accepting passengers using manual bag tags 

The number of bags and their total weight after a slash are shown on the screen together with the flight routing and bag tag numbers ( see BAG)

When using the semi-automated option for bag tag issuing available from the Control Panel (BAGTS), passenger acceptance should be done using the entry below:

Example:

PU1,2/30/123456/57

Response:

PU1,2/30,BTAEPCOR12120/21
CHECKIN->XX4580 /26JUL AEP
ORD  CODE   NAME             FOID      OFF CC SEAT   BAG
004. VODDNB MENDEZ/JUAN      8378274   COR YY        2/030 (AEPCOR12120/21)

The semi-automated bag tag issuing option (BAGTS) has the following considerations: 

• System accepts a maximum of 6 bag tag numbers for each bag  

• When entering more than 6 bag tag numbers, the system response is: CHECK BAG TAG

• When there is a discrepancy between the number of bags and the number of bag tags entered, the system response is: CHECK BAG TAG

• When using a bag tag number previously entered, the system response is: CHECK DUPE followed by the bag tag number repeated or duplicated.

• If a bag tag number starts with a zero (0) DO NOT enter the leading zero 

• The version for bagagge control, does not permit editing information for the baggage already dispatched. For updating baggage checked a + or - sign should preceed the number of bags ( PE-1,+1/15 or PE-1,-1/15)

• To delete a piece of baggage , use the - sign to decrease the number. Please be aware that 0/BT0 is not accepted.

• When entering correlative tag numbers use the following entry to autocomplete: PU1,ST1A,3/30/12345-* This entry is only valid for the PU command, and on the example the system will add 12345, 12346 y 12347.

CS - Check-in Stop Message

The purpose of CS or check-in stop message is to add a message to passenger record in order to take a specific action involving the passenger at the check-in counter. This CS message can be added before accepting the passenger on a flight or afterwards. The following command is for adding a CS message to the PNR before passenger acceptance on a flight:

On PNR, it is like any SSR CKIN message except for the word “STOP” as shown on screenshot below:

Once a passenger with a CS message is accepted on a flight using the PU command, the system displays the following confirmation message: “AT LEAST ONE PASSENGER HAS CHECK-IN STOP MESSAGE. RE-ENTER THE COMMAND WITH /Y TO CHECK-IN THE FOLLOWING PASSENGERS” and displays passenger or passengers involved with their corresponding CS message.

CS or check-in stop message is disabled as soon as a passenger is checked-in on a flight. The same CS message or new one can be added using following command:

To delete a CS message:

And then, confirming deletion by retransmitting the same entry with /Y at the end. See example below:

Only one CS message is allowed per passenger.

The CS message can be updated or modified with following command:

As there is a previous CS message on passenger record, the system displays the following message: “AT LEAST ONE PASSENGER HAS A CHECK-IN STOP MESSAGE. RE-ENTER THE COMMAND WITH /Y TO ACCEPT PASSENGER ON THE FLIGHT” and it also displays passenger´s name together with the previous CS message preceded by *CS (example on below screenshot). The PE command with the /Y at the end is also displayed in order to confirm the update or modification of the CS message as it will replace the old CS message as soon as we retransmit the command.

The system will require confirmation for an added CS using the entry with /Y when updating passenger records. Example, re-printing a boarding pass.

Then, the CS message is disabled and it disappears again for check-in but it can be added again when needed.

Different passenger lists are available to display passenger records with a CS or check-in stop message, depending on passenger acceptance. For displaying the list of passengers with a CS message before flight acceptance, the input is as follows:

Passengers with a CS message can be easily identified on the “non checked-in passengers list or PLU because there is a new -CS- indicator showing a -Y- when a passenger has a CS message on his/her record. The difference with the above list is that the PLU/CS shows only “non-checked-in passengers” with a CS message while the below list shows all “non-checked-in passengers”, no matter if they have a CS or not.

New -CS- indicator will also be on following inputs:

The following entry will display the list of passengers with a CS message added at the check-in counter using the PE-<Item> input.

Observing above screenshot , three already checked-in passengers have a CS message on their records as -Y- is shown under the -CS- indicator and #check-in stop appears below each passenger name.

Finally, this new CS feature is also available at flight history, PH. Providing updated information for each of the passenger records with a CS or check-in stop message.

GS - Gate Stop

The GS or Gate Stop feature should be used to add a message to passenger record so the boarding agent can take the corresponding action when attempting to board the passenger. Message examples could be if a passenger needs to make a payment before boarding because he checked on the website, verifying passenger documentation or a new seat assignment.

The GS option for Gate Stop should be added either with the PU entry at check-in acceptance or, once the passenger has been checked-in on a flight, with the PEcommand:

PE example:

If there is a GS message already in passenger record and a new GS is attempted, the system will require confirmation for the action by resending the command with /Y as the new GS will override the old one. The notification message shown is “ THERE IS A GATE STOP ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PAX. ADD /Y TO REPLACE THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE WITH NEW DATA”.

Retransmitting the new GS command with /Y at the end, will replace the old GS as only one GS is allowed per passenger.

To delete a GS from a passenger record, the input is as follows:

PE-<Item>,GSDEL

To display the list of all passengers on a flight with GS in their records, the command is as shown below:

PLC<Flight>/<Date><Origin airport/GS

At the boarding gate and when the agent attempts to board the passenger who has a GS on his/her record, the boarding is not accepted and the system displays the GS message with /Yat the end. Once the agent reenters the PB<BN>/Y command , the system will board the passenger as shown below.:

As soon as flight is assigned to the gate, the list of passengers with GS is available at the boarding gate using the following input:

PBP/GS

This feature is only available for Duty 5.

Info
APIS available at airline request.

History

All transactions related to messages in boarding pass will be recorded in the flight history.

Accepting passengers with connecting flights

System permits to accept passengers with connecting flights on the same airline up to the final destination. System will print all the necessary boarding pass and bag tags (when applicable). This function is available to carriers logging to KIU from third party workstations (SITA, ULTRA) 

Display of connecting flight information:

Once the passenger search displays the similar name list, If included on the same PNR, system will display the connecting flight information as following: 

The connecting flight information display after the outbound flight details. System displays only the flight included on the same record locator. Consider system assumes returning flights for the same date as connections.

For those itineraries including up to two connections the system response to the PF entry will display the connecting flight data, if more than two connections exist, system will add the indicator  ./O+ as shown below.

If itinerary includes an inbound connection, system adds the indicator .I/. If more than two connections exist it also adds the indicator .O/+

Considerations:

•  In order to accept passengers, all flights on the itinerary must be initialized and the Control Panel updated.

• The sequence number will be assigned on each flight independently

  • A passenger can be accepted with a maximum of three connections, otherwise system displays the following error:

ERROR - MAXIMUM PERMITTED 3 CONNECTING FLIGHTS

• System responds with this error message when trying to accept passengers on Other Airline “Other Airline” flights without interline agreement 

INVALID - NO AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARRIERS

• Accepting passengers on connecting flights is not available for upgrade or downgrade

In order to accept passengers on connecting flights add the indicator ,O to the Passenger upload entry (PU):

Code Block

Accept passenger with comments: PU1-3,O,MSTEXTO

Accept passenger with exact weight: PU1,O,WT90

Accept passenger on a Jump Seat: PU1,O,JMP

Accept passengers with baggage: PU1-2,O,2/15,BT123456/988777

Accept passengers adding baggage individually just in case a piece of baggage needs to be removed lately : PU1,O,1/10+1/15+1/20,ST3A

In order to accept a passenger with more than one connecting flight add the amount of connections

Code Block
language xml
PU<item number>,O<total connecting flights>

Example: PU1,O2

On this example this passenger is accepted on the current flight and two onward connections. Consider the maximum connection accepted is 3, hence, the maximum value for this entry is ,O3

Considerations for seat assignment 

The seat number assigned to the first flight is also assigned to the connecting flight. If the same seat number is not available, use the PV entry (native map) for each flight if available  to verify the available seats and use the following entry to assign a different seat individually.

Example: PU1,O,ST2C+3C

Separate the seat number for each flight by using a + sign When sign when accommodating multiple passengers on the same transaction and must assign assigning them different seats for each flight. 

Example:

PU1-2,O,ST6C10C+3C3A

PU1+2+3+4F,O,2/30,BT123456/57,ST3B3C4B4C+8B8C9B9C

Editing passengers on connecting flights 

Passenger edit entries must include the indicator ,O in order to apply to the onward connecting flights 

Example:

Code Block
language xml
PU1,O,ST<seat flight one>+<seat flight two>

PE303/24OCTAUABON-3,P,O

History display for connecting flights:

Passengers upload entry adds the indicator ,O on the flight history, meaning that passenger was accepted on the current and connecting flights
