Extra Seat

New booking and ticketing procedure for EXST

To book an extra seat for the customer on all flights please proceed as follows:

• Book two seats for the customer
• Add the name element for the customer with an (IDEXST)/EXST passenger type
  e.g. NM2NAME/AMRS(IDEXST)/EXST
  Note: the names will appear as 2 separate name elements one for the passenger and another for the EXST
• Add the SREXST item and passenger and segment relate
  e.g. SR EXST BA-EXTRA SEAT FOR PERSONAL COMFORT/P1
  Note: If more than one extra seat is required add additional requirements in free text of SSR
  e.g. SR EXST BA -EXTRA SEAT PLUS 1X ADDITIONAL EXST FOR PERSONAL COMFORT/P1
• End transaction

There is no need to queue the PNR as the SR item will generate a message to the relevant airline inventory system who will either confirm the request or create a separate PNR for additional extra seats and confirm to you or reject your request. The reply will be returned to your queue 1 category 6.

You cannot price or issue a separate ticket for the extra seat. The system creates only one TST for the passenger.

You must include the appropriate ticket designator EX for extra seat in the fare basis of the TST. You must include the cost of the extra seats as a Q surcharge in the fare calculation line of the TST.

• Create one TST for the passenger and the EXST
  e.g. FXP/P1
• Add the appropriate ticket designator EX for extra seat to the fare basis of the TST
  e.g. TTI/B YM3M EX
  Note: If the fare basis is less than 3 characters include 2 spaces before entering EX
• Include the cost of the EXST seats as a Q surcharge in the fare calculation line of the TST
  e.g. TTI/CLON BA ATL Q762.08M762.08BA LON Q762.08M762.08NUC3048.32END ROE0.625917XF ATL4.5
• Adjust base fare
  e.g. TTK/F GBP1908.00
• Add endorsement for number of EXST booked
  e.g. FE Q SURCHARGE FOR 1X EXST FOR PAX COMFORT/P1
• Issue the ticket
  e.g. TTP/XH2/ET/P1
