A24 Other Fare Construction

Important: This section is used by Travelport+.

In Travelport+ the MIR Options table can be used to determine whether this section is sent, or not.

Note: This section is not available in APO.

The “Other Fare Construction” section occurs when two conditions exist: (1) The “OTHER FARE CONSTR” field in the MMOD table must be set to “Y” (2) An IT or BT ticket has been issued.   When this occurs the fare construction shown in A09 will contain the fare construction as printed on the ticket.   This will be in the form LON BA PAR M/IT while A24 will contain the fare construction including values in the form LON BA PAR M100.00.   At the time of writing (October 2006) this function has not been provided in all markets. All other formatting is identical to A09.

Changes to Q surcharges:

  1. Single Segment: when a surcharge is applicable, imprint ‘Q’ followed by the amount immediately after the segment to which it applies.

  2. Multiple Segments: when a surcharge is applicable to several consecutive or non-consecutive segments, imprint ‘Q’ followed by the first and last cities of the segments to which the surcharge applies, in the direction of travel, and the amount.

  3. Multiple Surcharges Apply to a Single Segment: when more than one surcharge applies to a single segment, they shall be shown separately directly after the segment to which they apply.

  4. Multiple Surcharges Apply on Consecutive Sectors: when more than one surcharge applies on consecutive sectors, imprint each separate ‘Q’ followed by the first and last ticketed cities, in the direction of travel, of each sector to which the surcharges apply followed by the amount. When the surcharge crosses multiple fare components, this entry shall be made at the end of the itinerary preceding the total amount in NUCs. With the addition of the extra city codes as defined in the new Q surcharge formats, the linear Fare Calculation ladder length may exceed maximum field sizes allotted in the MIR and may result in the truncation of linear Fare Calculation data in these fields.

Note: All products supported by Travelport Rapid Reprice exchange/reissues will continue to provide the current linear Fare Calculation data in the MIR.
