5 Amadeus Ticket Changer support of Extended Parameters: Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) allows travellers to change a ticketed booking online.

Along with the corporate travel policy, some AeTM Air rules contain expanded parameters which were not taken into account in the modification flow. With this enhancement ATC modification flow now supports basic Expanded Parameters. As a result, rules containing expanded parameters are no longer filtered out or removed by AeTM. The ATC modification flow will now support a subset of Expanded Parameters: NPE Fares with No Penalties NAP Fares with No Advanced Purchase restriction RF Refundable Fares NR Fares with No Restriction Travellers: Travellers will be able to modify their flights online respecting the policy based on the fares and associated restrictions. Corporations: The same restrictions are now applied for the booking and the modification flows which leads to better adherence to the corporate travel policy when modifying the flight online through ATC and gain better control on the travel cost.
