Boarding

In order to start boarding the accepted passengers on the flight at least one terminal must be assigned to the boarding function. Flight status must be "OPEN" for Boarding.

Use the following entry:

PBA4580/26JULAEP

Response

ASSIGNED BOARDING -> 4580/26JUL AEP

When working on a past date flight (one day after departure date) must replace the date for a "-" sign in order to indicate the system, departure date occurred in the past.

For example, if departure date had had to be March 6 but actually departed on March 7, use the following format:

PBA5609-COR

Assign a terminal to begin boarding passengers, entry allows to board passengers individually o massively

Individual:

PB3

Massive:

PB3,5,9,12,11,8,15,20

Response:

8 PAX BOARDED

Description:

PB	Fixed command
3	Check-in sequence number

Use the sequence number for boarding, when boarding multiple passengers, if sequences are co-relative use a "-" to indicate the first and last one. When sequences aren´t co-relative use a "," (comma) to indicate each sequence number you're willing to board on the flight.

Ejemple:

PB3,8,56,88

PB59-78

The logic for accepting Adults and infants is the same as for the check in, meaning if the adult was accommodated including a lap infant, when boarding the adult the lap infant gets also boarded

Denied Boarding

Introduction

When canceling the passenger check-in procedure you may indicate that such cancellation is related to denied boarding.

If the passenger is denied boarding, it must be indicated if the reason was voluntary or involuntary, and if the passenger will be compensated or not.

The denied boarding functionality includes the following scope:

Identification of voluntary confirmed passengers to be denied boarding
List of voluntary passengers to be denied boarding
Cancellation of passengers, confirmed and on the waiting list, adding the feature "denied boarding"
Mass cancellation of confirmed and waitlisted passengers, adding the feature "denied boarding"
Denied boarding passengers list.
Passenger information with denied boarding in the PFS message (Passenger Final Sales)

Passenger records with denied boarding in the flight history

Voluntary denied boarding

During the check-in process , or edition of a passenger already checked, it can be indicated that a passenger is willing to accept denied boarding.

In the same way, it will also be possible to cancel the denied boarding previously assigned to a passenger.

If for operational or commercial reasons, any of the passengers on the flight should be left on the ground, the volunteers can be identified for denied boarding to cancel their check-in or the corresponding action.

Assignment

The indicator to identify a voluntary denied boarding passenger is VDB and can be indicated in the PU and PE command as follows:

PU<PAX ITEM>,ST<SEAT NBR>,VDB

 

PE-<SEQ.NBR>,VDB

Example;

PU1, ST10A, VDB

Once the VDB feature has been added to the passenger, it can be seen in the display of the flight history, and in the list of passengers not traveling.

Deletion

The VDB characteristic assigned to the passenger with the VDBN indicator can be deleted as shown below:

PE-<SEQ.NBR>,VDBN

Example:

PE-2, VDBN

List of voluntary denied boarding passengers

To obtain a list of the passengers who have volunteered for denied boarding, you must request a checked passengers display (PLC) by adding the VDB filter as shown below:

Denied Boarding

Single check-in cancellation

Once a passenger has been accepted, either confirmed or on the waiting list, it is possible to cancel the check-in procedure indicating that it has been denied boarding .

When indicating that a passenger is entitled for denied boarding the following considerations must be identified:

Voluntary or involuntary
Reason for denied boarding
Compensation method
An optional free text

The structure of the command is the following:

PE- <PAX ITEM>, DEL / <TYPE> / <REASON> / <COMPENSATION> / <ADDITIONAL TEXT>

Indicator Description DV: Denied Voluntary (Volunteer)

TYPE DI: Denied Involuntary (Involuntary)

It is a mandatory field.

The valid options are:

OB: Overbooking

WR: Weight Restriction (Limitations of weight)

REASON CE: Change of Equipment (Change of equipment)

IS: Inoperable Seat (inoperative seat)

GA: Goverment Action

It is a mandatory field. The valid options are:

CA: Cash

COMPENSATION VC: Voucher

NO: Not Apply (No compensation applies)

It is a mandatory field.

It is a free text that can be included for the purpose of providing extra information.

TEXT Accepts up to 50 alphanumeric characters and spaces.

It is an optional field.

Examples:

PE-1,DEL/DV/OB/CA/OVERBOOKED FLIGHT

 

PE-2,DEL/DI/WR/VC/DENIED BOARDING DUE TO WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

PE-3,DEL/DV/GA/NO

The system response will repeat the previously entered indicators:

Command options with API

You can include the API indicator in the command to uncheck a passenger with denied boarding, to also indicate that you want to delete the preloaded API information (Advanced Passenger Information).

Examples:

PE-1, DEL + API / DV / OB / CA / OVERBOOKED FLIGHT

PE-2, DEL + API / DI / WR / VC / DENIED BOARDING DUE TO WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS PE-3, DEL + API / DV / GA / NO

Important notice:

Each passenger whose check-in is canceled with the "Denied Boarding" indicator (/ DV or / DI), will be considered in the PLU list as checked-in .(PLU or list of passengers who have not yet done check-in for the flight) This means that it will not be considered as a passenger pending for check-in at the airport.

Cancellation of mass check-in with denied boarding

When performing a mass check-in cancellation procedure with PEDEL command you can also indicate that it was a denied boarding.

Confirmed passengers

The command structure to massively cancel check-in for confirmed passengers with denied boarding is the following:

PEDEL<FLIGHT>/<DATE><ORIGIN>/<SEQ.NBR>/<TYPE>/<REASON>/<COMPENSATION>/<ADDTEXT>

Example:

PEDEL4178/26AUGAEP/1-4/DV/OB/CA/OVERBOOKED FLIGHT

Indicators Type,Reason,Compensation and Additional Text apply the same way it applies to single passenger check-in cancellation.

In the "Seq. Number" field, you must indicate the numbers of boarding passes that will be massively unchecked. The options supported by this indicator are:

A single boarding pass number: 1
Several passengers separating with commas: 2,4,16
Selecting passenger ranges: 1-15
Combining options: 2,8,15-20,35

When performing the command the system will require confirmation of the action. To confirm the massive uncheck, the / Y flag must be added at the end of the command to process the transaction:

PEDEL4178/26AUGAEP/1-4/DV/OB/CA/OVERBOOKED FLIGHT

4 PASSENGERS WILL BE OFFLOADED. TO PROCESS ENTER

PEDEL4178/26AUGAEP/1-4/DV/OB/CA/OVERBOOKED FLIGHT/Y

Once the transaction is confirmed, the system will display boarding pass numbers that were unchecked:

PEDEL4178/26AUGAEP/1-4/DV/OB/CA/OVERBOOKED FLIGHT/Y

001 - OFFLOADED OK

002 - OFFLOADED OK

003 - OFFLOADED OK

004 - OFFLOADED OK

Waitlisted Passengers

The structure of the command to mass uncheck waitlisted passengers indicating that their boarding was denied, is as follows:

PEDELSBY4178/26AUGAEP/1-4/DI/CE/NO

Indicators Type,Reason,Compensation and Additional Text apply the same way it applies to single passenger check-in cancellation.

In the "Seq. Number" field, you must indicate the numbers of boarding passes that will be massively unchecked. The options supported by this indicator are the same as those for the confirmed passengers.

Considerations

When carrying out a mass passengers uncheck, whether they are confirmed or on the waiting list, the system will not allow executing the same command until the process of unchecking each passenger included in the command has been completed.

If a user enters the mass uncheck command and such transaction is already running in the same terminal, the system will report:

INVALID - IT IS RUNNING THE SAME PROCESS IN THIS DEVICE MIA00XX201

If a user enters the mass uncheck command for a flight and that transaction is already running for the same flight, the system will report:

INVALID - IT IS ALREADY RUNNING THE SAME PROCESS FOR FLIGHT XX5050/26AUGEZE

To check the denied boarding passenger list of a particular flight, the following command should be entered

Only one type can be entered at a time, and the system will validate that they are 2 characters (it will not validate the codes).

Examples:

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBTDV 

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBTDI

DBR<REASON>

The list can be filtered by reason or reason for denied boarding: OB, WR, IS, CE, GA.

Only one reason can be entered at a time, and the system will validate 2 to 4 characters (it will not validate the codes).

Examples:

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBROB 

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBRWR

DBM<COMPENSATION METHOD>

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBMVC

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBMNO

Filters combination

Different type of filters can be combined such as Type,Reason and compensation method

Example:

PLD5050/26AUGEZE/DBTDV/DBROB/DBMCA

In the previous example, the system will display a list of passengers with voluntary denied boarding overselling reasons and that were compensated with cash.

The following extensions may also be applied to the PLD list:

Considerations

The PLD list will only show those passengers who were confirmed and then denied boarding. If the passenger was on the waiting list, and then the check-in was canceled, and boarding denied, it will not appear on this list.
The system does not validate either the type, mode, nor the reason. If non-existing codes are entered, the system will respond without data to the list.
The PLD list will be available before and after the final closing of the flight (PD command).

PFS (Passenger Final Sales)

Passengers with denied boarding will be identified in the PFS message that is generated at the time of flight closure (Check-in PD command).

The new indicators that will be displayed along with the .DBC / element of the message are the following:

OFFLK

Includes those passengers who were checked on the flight and then were canceled from the check-in with the DV or DI indicators.

OFFLN

Includes those passengers who were checked on the flight and then were canceled from the check-in with the DV or DI indicators and that were Go Show.
