Economy Unbundled Fares

Also known as basic fares.

ATPCO created two fare types to support unbundled fares:

EOU (Economy Unbundled One-Way)
(Economy Unbundled Round-Trip)

The intent of these fare type codes is to allow airlines to distribute lower-priced fares that:

Do not include additional services, such as advance seat assignment or inclusive baggage.
May have restrictions on other fare-related data, such as change and cancellation policies.

Unbundled fares often represent the lowest available fare (subject to availability). Travelport’s Best Buy/Low Fare Finder (FQBB/$BB) and Fare Shopping (FS/$P) seek to provide the lowest available fare for any given itinerary. Therefore, these searches automatically consider economy unbundled fares.

Excluding Economy Unbundled Fares

Because Economy Unbundled Fares are very restrictive, customers may not want to purchase these fares.

You can exclude Economy Unbundled Fare from fare requests by either:

Adding the /FXD modifier to a terminal fare search entry for Travelport+ (1G) and Apollo (1V).
Confirming that Exclude Economy Unbundled Fares (FXD) is selected the Advanced tab of the Smartpanel Fare Shopping search. By default, this modifier is selected in Smartpanel.
