Read the first 7 GDS: Sabre, Amadeus & Travelport flashcards as text

  1. In Amadeus, an agent receives a 'UC' status on a segment. What action should the agent take?

    Answer: Advise the passenger the booking is unable to be confirmed and find an alternative

    UC (Unable to Confirm) means the airline cannot accommodate the booking; the agent must find an alternative flight or option for the passenger.

  2. Which Sabre command cancels a specific segment, for example segment 3, from the PNR?

    Answer: XE3

    XE followed by the segment number (e.g., XE3) cancels that specific segment in Sabre without affecting other segments.

  3. In Travelport Galileo, what does the 'IG' command accomplish?

    Answer: Ignore (cancel all changes since last save without saving)

    IG (Ignore) in Galileo discards all changes made since the last End of Transaction, reverting the PNR to its previously saved state.

  4. A corporate client's negotiated fare in Sabre requires a 'RC' code. What does this code represent?

    Answer: Rate Code — a corporate account identifier used to access negotiated pricing

    RC (Rate/Corporate Code) in Sabre identifies the corporate account to apply negotiated or contracted fares during pricing.

  5. In Amadeus, the command 'TTP' is entered after pricing. What does this command initiate?

    Answer: Ticket issuance (issue the electronic ticket)

    TTP (Ticket/Transaction Processing) in Amadeus issues the electronic ticket based on the stored fare quote in the PNR.

  6. Which GDS uses the 'NDC' (New Distribution Capability) connection most prominently through its 'NDC-X' marketplace to access airline ancillary content?

    Answer: All three major GDS platforms support NDC equally

    All three major GDS platforms — Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport — have developed NDC connectivity solutions, though their implementations and airline partnerships vary.

  7. In Sabre, a 'TL' element placed in a PNR refers to what?

    Answer: Time Limit — the deadline by which the booking must be ticketed

    TL (Time Limit) in Sabre specifies the ticketing deadline; if the ticket is not issued by this date/time, the booking may be automatically cancelled.
