Split Ticketing
When you request a flight shopping search or air pricing in Smartpanel, you can split ticketing for air segments.
There are three options for split ticketing in Smartpanel:
- Flight Shopping with split tickets
- Flight Shopping with split tickets priced as one ticket
- Air Pricing with split tickets
To split tickets in flight shopping:
- Make a flight shopping search in Smartpanel.
- Click the Ticket arrow for each segment to select the same number for the sectors to be ticketed together or a separate number for each sector to be ticketed separately. A maximum of six tickets can be quoted separately.
In this example, Segments 1 and 2 are ticketed together and Segment 3 is split.
- After completing other search entries, click SEARCH to display the booking options based on the ticket split. In this example:
- Window 2 displays the pricing options for Segments 1 and 2.
- Window 3 displays the pricing options for Segment 3.
To price split tickets as one ticket in flight shopping:
- Make a flight shopping search in Smartpanel.
- Click the Ticket arrow to select the same number for the sectors to be ticketed together or a separate number for each sector to be ticketed separately. A maximum of six tickets can be quoted separately.
In this example, each of the four segments is ticketed separately as a one-way journey with a different ticket number for each segment.
- Select Price as one ticket.
- After completing other search entries, click SEARCH to display the booking options based on the ticket split. In this example:
- Windows 1–4 display pricing options for each ticketed segment.
- Window 5 displays the entire route with a single price for each set of pricing options.
- Click the Ticket arrow to select the same number for the sectors to be ticketed together or a separate number for each sector to be ticketed separately. A maximum of six tickets can be quoted separately.
- Optional. A pop-window (Flex Windows) or new tab (Classic Windows) displays with the cheapest flight option from the entire route.
You can book the lowest fare option, add to Trip Quote, or show more low fare options, if available.
To price air fares with split tickets:
You can split tickets on an request that follows either or an Air Availability search.
- Make an air availability search or a flight shopping search in Smartpanel. In this example, an Air Availability search is made.

- Click the Ticket arrow for each segment to select the same number for the sectors to be ticketed together or a separate number for each sector to be ticketed separately. A maximum of six tickets can be quoted separately.
In this example:
- Segment 1 and Segment 3 between Amsterdam and Curaçao are ticketed together in Ticket 1.
- Segment 2 between Curaçao and Aruba is ticketed as Ticket 2. The traveler plans sail between Aruba and Curaçao (an ARNK segment), so only a single segment is required for Ticket 2.
