How to Sell Seats and price Itineraries on Amadeus

In this lesson, we will learn how to hold seats on Amadeus and how to check fare for an itinerary. This is one of the most important steps in creating a pnr you cannot complete a PNR without creating itinerary or selling seats and pricing is one step further which displays the fare for the sold itinerary.

To hold seats for an itinerary the first step is to do an availability command which we learnt in our last chapter.

Step 1- Check availability for a flight.

In this example, we will be checking availability for Dubai to Mumbai. So we will do below command to display availability between two cities for 15th of October.

AN15OCTDXBBOM/AEK

Presuming the traveller wants to know fare and availability for the 930am flight from Dubai to Mumbai we have to sell the same. As we can see there are currently 9 or more seats on Economy class for this flight so we can sell a seat on this flight.

For selling a seat on Amadeus we can do a cryptic command or the GUI on amadeus allows you to just click on the required seat and hold a seat.

Cryptic command to hold a seat is as below.

which means sell seat 1 on Y class on line number 2 or you can simply click on the Y on line number 2 to sell a seat.

Below is the result which will be displayed upon entering above command.

As you can see in the above image the first step is to check availability and the next step is to sell a seat. There are other methods to sell a seat like the long sell entry however this is more useful while creating a dummy or passive booking to create active bookings you can stick to above short sell entry.

Now that you know how to sell a seat we will show you how to price a sold seat.

To display fare for a sold seat the entry is as below.

This command will give you fare for the sold itinerary but in case if you require the lowest fare for the itinerary the command is as below.

FXR will display the lowest fare for the sold itinerary.

 Now if you observe above two images the first image which is the FXX entry gave us Fare for AED 3260 and when we did FXR it gave us the lowest fare AED 1050 for the itinerary.

Now if the traveller wants to check the lowest fare in business class or first class we can enter below commands to get the lowest fares in respective cabins.

Business-class lowest fare – FXR/KC

Now if you see above image when we enter the command FXR/KC the system automatically ebooks for the lowest business class fare available for this itinerary, The class of booking first changed from Y to K for lowest fare and now from K to I for the lowest business fares.

Similarly, if you want to check for lowest first-class fare the command is as below.

This command will give lowest first-class fare for the itinerary.

In the above example when we enter the command FXR/KF the system ebooks the seat from Business to first and provides the lowest first-class fare. (changes from I to A)

To check more commands for pricing you can do HELP FXX in Amadeus.

Choosing your seat in advance

We recommend that you choose your seat as early as possible to get the one you want, and to avoid sitting separately from family or friends.

How to choose your seat

You can do this when booking your flight or afterwards through Manage My Booking.

If you have a booking, follow these simple steps:

• Log in to Manage My Booking
• Under 'Your booking details', click on your flight number
• Under 'Seating', click on 'View or change seats for this flight' and follow the instructions on screen

Do I have to pay to choose a seat?

Whether your seat selection is free or you’ll have to pay extra depends on a range of factors, including the fare you choose and your cabin of travel.

You can choose your seat for free from 24 hours before departure when check-in opens, unless you’ve booked a Basic ticket (economy, hand-baggage only) where your seat is allocated to you.

With a Basic ticket (economy, hand baggage only), you can either:

• Pay to choose your seat from when you book until check-in opens, or
• We’ll allocate you a seat for free when check-in opens. You can then pay to change to a different seat, although your choice may be limited.

If you’re an Executive Club Member, you’ll collect Avios if you pay to choose your seat on a British Airways flight. You’ll collect at least six Avios per pound (GBP) spent. Find out more about collecting Avios on flights .

You may be entitled to choose your seat for free if you fall into one of the following groups.

Travelling in First

It’s free from the time of booking to choose a seat in our First cabin.

Executive Club Members

As an Executive Club one world® frequent flyer Member you're able to choose seats at different stages, depending on your tier.

You must be travelling on the booking, or in the case of Gold Members, one of the bookings, for these benefits to apply. They apply to British Airways-operated flights only and are not available on group rate bookings.

On some occasions, exit row seats on short-haul flights may not be available in advance due to operational reasons.

Gold/oneworld Emerald

Enjoy free seat selection when booking for everyone in your party. This includes friends and family on other bookings who are travelling with you in the same travel class and on the same flight.

Silver/oneworld Sapphire

Enjoy free seat selection – excluding exit row seats on long-haul flights – from the time of booking for everyone in your party. Exit row seats on long-haul flights can be selected for free from 24 hours before departure.

Bronze/oneworld Ruby

Enjoy free seat selection – excluding exit row seats – from seven days before departure for everyone in your party. Exit row seats can be selected for free from 24 hours before departure.

Enjoy free seat selection from 24 hours before departure, excluding exit row seats and not including travel on basic fares. Seats can be purchased from the time of booking.

Flexible tickets

Tickets with increased flexibility allow you to make certain changes to the date and time of your flight. They also include free seat selection.

• Fully Flexible fares (Y/W/J class) allow you to choose seats for free from the time of booking.
• Short haul Plus fares allow you to choose seats for free from 48 hours before departure.

You choose your flexibility when you buy your flights.

Choosing seats together on separate tickets

You can see which seats are still available together to choose for free from 24 hours before your flight, when online check-in opens.

However, if you are travelling with others on different bookings, you can pay in advance to choose specific seats to ensure you sit together for your flight. Just log in to Manage My Booking .

Flying with children

To get the best choice of seats and make sure your family sits together, it’s best to choose your seats in advance. You might have to pay to do this.

If you don’t choose your seats in advance

We’ll do our best to seat your family together by assigning seats a few days before your flight departs. However, seat selection may be limited at that time and your seats may be split across different rows or the aisle. We'll make sure each child under 12 years sits next to an adult from your booking but children over 12 years are booked as an adult in our system and may sit separately.

Travelling with an infant under two

Seats are free when you fly with an infant under two who won't be travelling in a seat of their own. You can choose a seat for you and everyone in your party free of charge as soon as you've made your booking, except for bookings of over nine people. One person in your group and the infant will be able to choose a carrycot/seat position, subject to availability. The remainder of your party will be able to select other seats for free.

Travelling with a disability

There's no charge for choosing your seat if you have a specific seating requirement because of your disability.

How to book your seat

In most cases, you can select your seat using Manage My Booking, but sometimes you may need to contact us, like for some non-visible disabilities. Here's what you need to do.

• Book your flight
• We recommend that you let us know about the assistance you require at least 48 hours before your flight leaves. Once you have notified us that you require additional assistance, go to Manage My Booking and click on 'Seating' within the flight details section
• Select your seat, and if you need any help, please contact us

Travelling in large groups

Groups of more than nine people.

When you travel as a group, we’ll allocate your seats free of charge. While we'll try to seat your party together, we can't always guarantee it, particularly if your group is split across separate bookings.

To ensure your group is seated together, or if you would like specific seats, you can pay to choose your seats in advance. This applies to groups booked in the UK and Ireland only.

Paying for a seat

How much will it cost.

The cost of selecting a seat varies depending on the type of seat and the cabin you're travelling in. Prices are available when booking your flight or in Manage My Booking. You can pay in advance using a credit or debit card or by using Avios on British Airways-operated flights.

It may not be possible to choose bulkhead seats, as they're usually reserved for customers with a disability or those travelling with an infant.

Payments at the airport

Like many airlines, we only accept debit or credit card payments at many of the airports we operate from, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and North America.

Pay with Avios

You can use your Avios to pay for seats in advance via Manage My Booking , with full or part payment options available. This is available for British Airways-operated flights and gives you more ways to spend your Avios.

As an Executive Club Bronze, Silver or Gold Member you can choose seats for free in many instances. For more information see our terms and conditions below.

Changes and refunds

If you’ve paid to choose a seat and we're unable to offer you that seat or a suitable alternative when you board your flight, you can claim a refund. See our terms and conditions for paid seating below.

Booking an extra seat for additional space

You can buy an extra ticket to keep the seat next to you free, for reasons like requiring additional personal space or to secure a fragile or precious item, such as a musical instrument or painting.

An item must fit in the seat, otherwise it will need to be checked into the hold. Find out more about baggage .

How to book an extra seat

• Please contact us  or your travel agent to make a booking for an extra seat as this type of booking cannot be made online.
• If you arrive at the airport and haven't booked an extra seat in advance, please speak to a member of British Airways staff. If there are seats available in the cabin you are travelling in, you may be able to buy an extra seat.
• At many airports, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and some in North America, you can only pay using a card. Please check with a member of our staff at the airport to find out if options are available for converting cash to a payment card.

Additional personal space and safety

If you would like the seat next to you to be kept free for additional personal space, you can buy it as an extra seat for comfort.

You'll need to buy yourself an extra seat for comfort if:

• You're travelling in economy and need more space to easily fasten your seatbelt for take-off, landing or during periods of turbulence, or
• You're unable to fully lower both armrests of your seat. It's a safety requirement to have a fully lowered armrest between each passenger during take-off, landing and turbulence.

We can give you an extension seatbelt if you need it.

Please note:

• An extra seat doesn't give additional seat width – see our seat dimensions guide below for the minimum seat widths on our aircraft.
• On most of our long-haul aircraft, the armrests in the economy cabin don't fold away into the seat back completely. They stop at an angle of 45 degrees when lifted and can't be raised further.
• There must be a fully lowered armrest between each passenger during take-off, landing and turbulence. 
• Armrests are fixed in our First, business (Club World) and premium economy (World Traveller Plus) cabins and can't be raised or lowered.
• You can't buy an extra seat for comfort at the bulkhead or on an exit row.
• You won't be able to buy an extra seat on a British Airways-operated flight if your journey includes a flight operated by another airline.

Choosing seats with our partner airlines

If you book with us for a flight operated by American Airlines, Finnair, Iberia, JAL or Qantas, you can choose your seats in Manage My Booking .

If you’re flying with one of our one world alliance partners and are an Executive Club Gold/oneworld Emerald Member, a Silver/Sapphire Member, or a Bronze/Ruby Member, you can contact your local British Airways customer centre to choose a seat for that flight.

In all other cases when you're flying with one of our partner airlines, please contact them directly to choose your seat.

Please note that you cannot use Avios to pay for seats on flights that are operated by our partner airlines.

If you paid to choose a seat on a flight operated by any of our partner airlines and would like to get a refund, please contact them directly.

Yankees planning to take jasson dominguez’s injury rehab slowly.

MINNEAPOLIS — Jasson Dominguez has one rehab game under his belt , but plenty more to go. 

And even when his 20-day rehab clock runs out, the Yankees outfielder may still need more time in the minors to continue his full buildup after missing all of spring training while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. 

As long as the Yankees’ outfield remains healthy, the 21-year-old Dominguez was likely to be optioned to the minors anyway when his rehab assignment finishes.

But Aaron Boone indicated Wednesday that Dominguez would need the equivalent of a full spring training — “I mean, like, a month’s worth of playing and building up,” he said — before the Yankees would be at a point where they would make any potential decision on him. 

Dominguez played his first rehab game Tuesday with Single-A Tampa, going 1-for-3 with a walk as the DH.

Dominguez, who sat Wednesday, is scheduled to DH only for the first two weeks before mixing in outfield action, meaning he will likely only get a few games in the field before his 20-day rehab clock expires.

Dominguez told the Associated Press on Tuesday night he was throwing up to 150 feet in his progression. 

“He’s in the first days of spring training games,” Boone said before the Yankees’ 4-0 win over the Twins at Target Field. “Let’s just get out of his way right now and get him right and get him playing and get him the regular reps and then we’ll see where we are hopefully in 10 days, two weeks from now when we’re now getting him into the outfield and start to really build him up. 

“Then if we have a decision to make, we’ll obviously make that. But still, that’s a long ways off.” 

There was a brief holdup before the Yankees challenged a call at first base in the bottom of the third inning.

Boone had turned to bench coach Brad Ausmus, who had called to the video room for a decision on whether to challenge.

But the phone was dead. 

“Then he hung it up, picked it up again and it was a busy signal,” Boone said. “Maybe somebody was trying to get through, I don’t know.” 

Boone appeared to run out of his allotted time to call for a challenge, but upon explaining the situation to the umps, they allowed it and the call was eventually overturned. 

Tommy Kahnle’s next and biggest test will come Thursday, when he pitches a rehab game on one day’s rest for the first time.

The reliever said over the weekend that he’s always been a “Day 2 soreness guy” — meaning back-to-backs are less of an issue than pitching on one day’s rest — so this will provide a good challenge for his shoulder. 

If Thursday’s appearance goes well, Kahnle will throw a fifth outing on Sunday (again with Double-A Somerset), after which he could rejoin the Yankees. 

“It could be some time in that Seattle series [which goes Monday through Thursday], but we’ll see how [Thursday] goes and then how [Sunday] goes and see where we’re at if we want another one,” Boone said. 

So far across three rehab outings, Kahnle has struck out six and not allowed a base runner in three innings. 

DJ LeMahieu (non-displaced foot fracture) remains on track to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday or Friday with Double-A Somerset. … Gerrit Cole (elbow nerve inflammation) is expected to throw another bullpen session on Saturday, when he could progress to throwing two “ups.” … DJ LeMahieu (non-displaced foot fracture) remains on track to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday or Friday with Double-A Somerset 

WFAN will have some different voices in its Yankees booth this weekend.

With Suzyn Waldman taking the series against the White Sox off (ahead of a 10-day West Coast trip next week), WFAN host Keith McPherson will join play-by-player Justin Shackil in the booth on Friday and Saturday.

YES Network clubhouse reporter Meredith Marakovits will then join Shackil in the booth for Sunday’s series finale.
