Definition


By default, air requirements assume that all passengers are Adults (ADT), however, other types of additional passengers may be detailed.

The types of passengers can indicate a number of circumstances, including age, companion status, organizational affiliation, special assistance, etc.

Passenger Type Codes consist of 3 letters in their encoding.





Reservation


The Passenger Type Code must be entered in the name field so that the passenger can qualify for that specific discount type.


Name


The entry to specify the PTC will be as following:

-<APELLIDO>/<NOMBRE><espacio mandatorio><PTC>

Code Block
languagexml
-PEREZ/JUAN YTH

Different PTCs can be entered in the same command as follows:

Code Block
languagexml
-3PEREZ/JUAN YTH/PEDRO ADR/LUIS CHD

Response:

Code Block
 1.1PEREZ/JUAN *YTH
 2.1PEREZ/PEDRO *ADR
 3.1PEREZ/LUIS  *CHD

Each PTC will be shown for each passenger following an asterisc.

Different PTCs and IDs can be entered in the same command as following:

Example of 3 types of passengers:

Code Block
languagexml
-3PEREZ/JUAN YTH.PP45879/PEDRO ADR.PP87788/LUIS CHD.PP110011

Response:

Code Block
1.1PEREZ/JUAN *YTH   »PP45879
2.1PEREZ/PEDRO *ADR   »PP87788
3.1PEREZ/LUIS  *CHD   »PP110011
  • If you want to use a PTC of a minor passenger type, for example UNN or CNN, you must first enter CHD.

    • Example:

      • Code Block
        -1PEREZ/LUIS CHD UNN.PP110011
  • In case of specifying only the PTC UNN, without the correct passenger type (CHD), the system will respond: INVALID

    • Example:

      • Code Block
        -TEST/B UNN
        INVALID - INVALID PTC CODE FOR PASSENGER TYPE
  • In case of specifying only the PTC MIL, with an incorrect type of passenger (CHD), the system will respond: INVALID

    • Example:

      • Code Block
        -TEST/B CHD MIL
        INVALID - INVALID PTC CODE FOR PASSENGER TYPE
Note
  • To modify the PTC:

    • Examples:

      • -3ø*CHD UNN

      • -3ø*CHD CNN

      • -1ø*MIL

  • By default the change applies to ADT pax, except CHD is included in the command.

Info

Fare selection hierarchy:

  1. PTC specific fare

  2. PTC ADT fare with discount in OD category (Other Discounts).

  3. Lowest PTC ADT fare

Warning
  • If there is fare with PTC specific (example YOW USD 1000.00) and another with a discount on the OD for the same PTC (example YOWYTH USD 200.00), the system will always offer the fare with PTC specific, even if it is more expensive.

  • In case you want to apply the other fare with discount in the OD for that PTC, you should quote it by using the option * Q

Note

When no fare is found for the discount entered in the name field, the system searches for the ADT fare that applies to that fare class. No error message will be displayed.

Example: YCD*ADT
