Filed fare for NDC
Travelport+ NDC agencies can be configured to have NDC orders:
-
Include filed fare along with airline ticket number
-
Add ticket listing with NDC ticket numbers
-
Update NDC tickets for original book and modify/exchanges in the agency's Ticket and Invoicing number system (TINS).
These updates will occur in conjunction with the creation of DI lines.
A new NDC identifier is also introduced in the filed fare, MIR, and agency TINS to distinguish NDC order from traditional.
This topic includes:
-
Benefits of including a filed fare for NDC orders
-
How to request filed fares for NDC orders
-
MIR information for NDC orders
-
Examples of NDC orders, MIRs, and HMPR displays
Benefits
An agency may choose to opt into these additional features in order to make NDC orders look and feel like traditional bookings, and so that the back office systems can process NDC orders just like traditional bookings.
With the filed fare in the order, the data will be transmitted in the agency back-office system through MIR and the faring information will be presented in the correct designated sections to streamline the workflow for our agency users.
Agencies can reconcile their Sales report by looking at NDC ticket numbers in the same place as traditional bookings.
How to request filed fare for NDC
Currently on Travelport+ when an NDC order is created, the ticket information and the fare for the order is stored in the Document Invoicing (DI) lines.
To store a filed fare for an NDC order (in addition to DI line information) for original book and for orders that are exchanges, raise a support case via MyTravelport and our support teams will enable access to the functionality. Here’s how to raise a support case:
-
Log into MyTravelport.
-
From the Help and resources menu, select Travelport support.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the screen to the Raise a Case section and select Open request.
-
Select the Travelport Support Request item.
-
Complete the Travelport Support Request form and select the Submit button.
Machineable Interface Record (MIR)
When only DI lines are updated with NDC order information, after the NDC order is created, the user must manually drive a MIR for the order for issuance and exchanges. When choosing to store the filed fare for NDC orders, NDC MIRs will be issued seamlessly and in the same format as issued for traditional.
New optional data identifier NDC:Y has been added to the header section of the Travelport+ MIR. If a MIR is being generated for the NDC order, the header section will have the new NDC:Y, which will distinguish the NDC MIR from traditional.
MIR Header Section
A new optional data identifier NDC: and associated data field will be added to the end of the Header section of the MIR to indicate the NDC MIR. Refer to the MIR online help for more information.
Examples
The following examples show how NDC orders store the filed fare and airline ticket numbers, as well as how the MIR has been updated.
NDC order with filed fare for Book and Hold
The NDC order will be updated with a filed fare and an NDC identifier (/NDC) in the current ticketing modifier (T) line.
If the offer returned by the airline is for a public fare, the Fare Calculation Pricing Indicator (FCPI) G will be added to the filed fare. If the fare is private, then FCPI of A is added.
If a ticketing request is made via a traditional ticket path and the fare stored is with NDC identifier, ticketing will be restricted as in the example below.
NDC order with filed fare for Book and Ticket
The NDC order will be updated with a filed fare, a ticket number, and an NDC identifier (/NDC) in the current ticketing modifier (T) line.
NDC order will be updated to show the listing of tickets, and the history of TINS (HTI) will be updated to show the ticket numbers.
If the airline allows the ticket to be retrieved via EDIFACT route, then a response will be returned, otherwise, an error “NOT AUTHORIZED” will be returned.
NDC order with filed fare for Modify and Hold (exchange)
NDC order will be updated with the form of payment exchange and the original ticket number.
If the user, inadvertently tries to issue a ticket via traditional path, an error will be returned.
NDC order with filed fare for Modify and Ticket (exchange)
NDC order will be updated with the form of payment exchange with the original ticket number (FEX0185745843543) and the new ticket number in the filed fare.
The NDC order will be updated with new and old fare information during exchanges.
The NDC order will be updated with Paid taxes during exchanges.
The NDC order will be updated with Additional collection (ADC) if applicable.
Sample NDC MIR for original ticket transaction
MIRs will automatically be created when the NDC order is ticketed.
A new identifier in the MIR for NDC is introduced.
The MIR will have the filed fare information along with all relevant information from the order.
