Select additional options
Once you select your preferred exchange option, scroll down to the additional section:
In order to get a new Fare Quote, you have to select additional parameters like passenger name, choose segments and optionally additional modifiers:
Missing ticket data – this field is used in case when the agent must add some information necessary for the exchange that cannot be identified by TCP, eg. the Fare amount in case of IT tickets or XF tax breakdown, when it is not possible to identify it from the already exchanged ticket or PNR.
Option | Description |
Passenger | Is selected automatically, but the selection can be changed by the agent. Passenger type code – PTC is automatically copied from the Name element but can be changed by the agent when some special discount is to be applied. |
Segments | Must be selected by the agent. In case of reissue after departure, already flown segments must be selected as well because the entire journey must be recalculated from the origin. |
Additional options | Which date will be used for recalculation (as per IATA rules). |
Before departure | Is the first coupon modified? Yes – current Fare and current taxes will be used for recalculation (FQ with today’s date). No – recalculation will be done with previous/original ticketing date. This date is mostly added by TCP Exchange automatically but sometimes (in case of the second exchange/reissue) must be added by the agent. |
After departure | Recalculation will be done with previous/original ticketing date. This date is mostly added by TCP Exchange automatically but sometimes (in case of the second exchange/reissue) must be added by the agent. |
FQ.H | Historical Fare but current taxes will be used for recalculation (non-standard procedure). |
| |
Carrier | It is not always necessary to show, only in exceptional cases. |
Account code | For private fares with an account code. |
CUR | Currency should be entered in case the original ticket is issued in another currency than the local currency (eg. in USD or EUR). |
Additional modifiers | Any other FQ modifier which can be used for a new calculation such as FXD or *:BFn (n = number of Fare Family/branded Fare number to receive the fare with baggage), no stopover indicator, fare break point indicator, private fare indicator etc. |
FQ calculation date is mostly added by TCP Exchange automatically but can be changed by the agent. Sometimes in case of a second or subsequent exchange/reissue, this date must be added by the agent either by using the calendar or typing the date manually.
Pricing by Fare basis – sometimes it is necessary to enter the required Fare basis code in order to specify which Fare should be used (eg. Fare with baggage).
After all the necessary information has been added, the fare calculation made by Travelport+ will be returned and can be compared to the original/previous ticket.
