To add a fare maximum, select an air policy on the Air Policies page and select the Fare Caps option on the left-hand navigation to access the Fare Caps page. In the Fare Maximums section, click the add fare maximum link to open the Add Fare Maximum page.

The following table lists guidelines for completing this page.

For this field: Do this:

Travel start date

Travel end date

Fare maximum location

Departure location

Arrival location

Select a radio button for the fare maximum location. You can configure a fare maximum by arrival or departure location, or both.

If the fare maximum is to appear for more than one location but not worldwide, create a separate setting for each location.

  • Worldwide: Default setting.
  • Global Area: Click to select from dropdown list of IATA Areas 1, 2 or 3.
  • Continent Group: Click to select general continental areas such as North and South America, Europe and Middle East, and so on.
  • Region: Click to select specific continents and areas.
  • Country: Click to select a country from dropdown list.
  • State/province: Click to select a state/province from dropdown list.
  • Airport: Click to enter a three-letter city code.

Note that a fare maximum is applied from a more specific granular geography to a more general geography, e.g., first by airport, then by state/province, then moving through country, region, continent group, and global area last. A worldwide configuration is applied only where a more specific geography has not been specified.
