A10 New Ticket Exchange Section

Important: This section is used by Travelport+.

In Travelport Apollo System, the ticket exchange section will be sent until the ticket exchange project is complete (TBA). Following that enhancement, data will be available in the new format and may be accessed by a new field in the MIR options table in Travelport Apollo System.

Note: All amount fields in the ticket exchange section are blank filled with decimal places. When an exchange ticket section occurs, T50CUR1 is zero filled. The exchange ticket is the ticket presented to the travel agent. It may be the ticket originally issued or it may be a previously exchanged ticket. When a MIR contains an exchange section, section A07 contains data of the new filed fare.

In Travelport+, when an exchange ticket requires money to be refunded, the agent issuing the new ticket issues an MCO for the refund value. The MCO is then refunded as a separate transaction by the agency that issued the original ticket. This results in 3 MIRs: 

  1. When the new ticket is issued

  2. When the MCO carrying the refund value is issued. At this point, even though the MCO carries a positive refund value, for accounting purposes, it will have zero collection.

  3. When the MCO is refunded

Exchange ticket base fare

Note: The number of taxes allowed in the fare value section have increased to a maximum of 5. However, only the taxes used are sent in the MIR. Each tax is preceded by a tax identifier: T1:, T2:, T3:, T4:, and T5:. If no taxes apply to the PNR/Booking File, the entire tax portion of this section is omitted. In Travelport+, three tax boxes are supported and up to 8 individual taxes.

If an "XT" tax code appears in any of the above tax boxes, an additional individual tax section with a maximum of 20 taxes is provided. An XT tax is an accumulation of all tax over and above that which appears in the previous tax boxes, depending on the ticket type. An exception is Italian BSP, which requires tax box 3 for VAT alone.

The presence of an Exempt tax will transmit the word "EXEMPT" in the tax value field, with the appropriate tax code in the tax code field.
