A02 Passenger Data Section

Section label "A02"

Passenger name

For airline document issuance, each passenger is issued an individual ticket.  If this is a multiple passenger PNR/Booking File and all tickets are issued in one entry, there is a separate line of data for each passenger. 

Electronic ticketing only: if ET fails and a spoiled MIR is generated, then this field is blank filled.

Travelport Apollo System: In an Amtrak ticket, more than one name may appear in the Passenger Name Section, because only one Amtrak ticket is issued for the entire party.

Transaction number (TCN Number)

This is an assigned number which is unique to this transaction.  If the agency uses OPTAT Ticket Stock, the TCN number also appears on the extreme lower left hand corner of the ticket. Zero or blank filled when data not available for Refund/Void MIR.   TCN does not appear in MIR generated using TKPDAD.

Note: TCN CALCULATION:

Example:  249 034685 0 2

• 249 = (First Three Characters) Julian Date

• 034685 = (Next Six Characters) Travelport Apollo System or Travelport+ Ticket Sequence Number

• 0 = Pricing Code

• 2 = Check Digit (Calculated by dividing the CRS code and its check digit code plus TCN Number - Total 14 numbers - by 7).

Pricing Codes:

• 0 = Auto Priced by Travelport Apollo System or Travelport+

• 1 = Manual pricing Travelport+

• 3 = Auto Priced by Travelport Apollo System - Z override (non FIC)

• 5 = Manually Priced by Fill-In-Format (Pricing Record) Travelport Apollo System

• 6 = Agent Designated Pricing (FIC Pricing) Travelport Apollo System

• 7 = Rules Override (FIC that failed rules) Travelport Apollo System

• 8 = Manually Priced by Fill-In-Format Travelport Apollo System

• 9 = Agent Designated Pricing (FIC) - Commission (Z) Override Travelport Apollo System

It should be noted that Option 5 ticket printing in the USA uses this data.  In Europe it is not used for non-core ticketing.

Ticket/Invoice numbers

Year indicator

Last digit of the year that the ticket was issued (e.g., "6")

Ticket number

Where there is more than one ticket number, this field shows the first ticket number.

Travelport+: if filed fare is already ticketed, using TKPDAD will include ticket number.

Electronic ticketing only: if an ET fails in a multi-ticket situation, then only one spoiled MIR is sent with the first ticket number.  Zero filled for spoiled MIR.

Number of ticket books

Zero filled unless it’s a Non-Air PNR/Booking File, then it is blank filled.

Electronic ticketing only: if an ET fails in a multi-ticket situation, then this field shows the number of books spoiled.

Invoice number

The invoice number is assigned by the Travelport Apollo System/Travelport+ TINS package or system generated.  If missing (not linked to Itinerary Device or issued using one of the “D” modifiers, i.e. DAD, DBD, DND, or DJD), field is blank.

Travelport+: As above, but the SG ticket modifier will assign a system generated number to an itinerary/invoice, (not from TINs).

Passenger identification code/description

*PIC or *PD

These codes are used to store special fare information applicable to each individual passenger.  The *PIC/*PD codes may vary from time to time.  A current list can be displayed in the HELP MOD* Profile found in Travelport Apollo System, or H/P in Travelport+ help. A copy of a previous list is also included as Appendix B in this document.

Associated fare item number for passenger

This number identifies which fare is associated with which passenger. The same number will also appear in the following sections as the Fare Section Indicator:

• A07 = Fare Value Section as the Fare Section Indicator

• A08 = Fare Basis Section as the Fare Section ID

• A09 = Fare Construction Section as the Fare Section ID

When one fare basis and one fare exists for all passengers, this number may be “01” for all passengers.

Blanks are sent in this field if fare data does not exist.

Associated exchange item number for passenger

If a Ticket Exchange is performed in this transaction “HBFEX/TKPFEX”, the Ticket Exchange Section (A10) item for this passenger is contained in this field and is associated to the related Exchange item in section A10.  If Exchange data does not exist, this field is left blank.

Multiple filed fares indicator

Travelport+ only: Y/N indicator

• N – indicates either that this is the last MIR in the sequence or this is the only MIR.

• Y – indicates that further MIRs with the same booking file reference sent in the same input.

This refers to making the entry TKP when more than one unticketed filed fare exists.   A separate MIR is generated for each filed fare.

Carriage return

*********************

Note: The following fields are only sent if data exists for them. If no data exists, then an End of Item indicator (carriage return) is sent and the next passenger item follows.

**OPTIONAL DATA** “Hex” and “Dec” are not provided.  Maximum field sizes are given.  It is suggested that you look for specific identifiers to locate desired information.

Name Related Information is generally entered in the LeisureShopper booking process, however, it may also be entered in PNR/Booking Files that do not contain LeisureShopper segments.  To enter this information into any PNR use the format:  “NI1-1” (Name Related Information for name one, passenger one).  Then “T:” for Title, “A:” for Age, “G:” for Gender, “S:” for Smoking preference, “C:” for Country Code, and “P:” for Passport Number and Validity Date (a space before the age is mandatory). In Travelport+, the use of PI.D and N.P1 entries apply. In Travelport+, freetext of 25 characters using PI.D is excluded.

Example in Travelport Apollo System:  NI1-1T:TECHNICIAN/A:29/G:M/S:N/C:US/P:M071864SLM  A-18JUL03

Example in Travelport+: N.P1@*FREETEXT

Name field remarks identifier 

NR:

Name field remarks

Name Field Remarks are added to the PNR/Booking File by following the Passenger Name with an “*” character and a maximum of 33 characters of information.  The information following the “*” is contained in this field.

Example:

• Travelport Apollo System: N:MORGAN/SHARI*COVNV-C098475

• Travelport+: N.MORGAN/SHARI@*COVNV-C098475

It is now possible (November 2006) to include a Passenger Type Code (PTC) in the name field remark.   When the user makes the entry FQ the system will read the PTC in the name field remark saving the user from adding the PTC to the FQ entry (although adding it to the FQ entry will override the data in the name remark).   The data entered in the name remark will appear in this field in addition to any other data the user may include.
