Lesson: Total Time: Content: Question/answer: SecuRate Air Fares and Pricing 60 45 15 Lesson Description: This lesson is designed to give specific instructions on how to fare and price an itinerary using SecuRate Air Agreement and ATPCO fare types. Author: Terri Kellar SME: Rebecca Herbig, Nancy Rooney Approved: Nancy Watkins Master PNRs: Harris/Elizabeth Record Locator : 7SOPB8 Master Agreement Numbers: PQ2DLPAR Follow Me URL: http://dls3.wspan.com/learningspace5/courses/documents/securate Air Fares and Pricing Instructors notes: There is one agreement number already created for the purpose of this class. All fare items have been added to this agreement. Display a fares display using the format: 4FATLCDG-DL/*PQ2DLPAR. If no fares display, check the validity dates of the agreement by entering: 4F-C*BPQ2DLPAR. 10/23/2002 Page 1
Check the master PNRs prior to class. Rebook any flight itinerary, which might have been canceled. Try pricing the itinerary using the entry: 4PFEX/*PQ2DLPAR. If it does not, something is then wrong with the agreement. Call Terri Kellar for assistance with the agreement. PowerPoint - 01 Welcome to SecuRate Air Fares and Pricing PowerPoint - 02 Objectives At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Know the difference between SecuRate Air fare types in a fares display Request a fares display using SecuRate Air Agreement fares Request a fares display using SecuRate Air via ATPCO fares Request an integrated fares display PowerPoint - 03 Agenda SecuRate Air Agreement Fares SecuRate Air via ATPCO fares Integrated Fares display PowerPoint - 04 There are two fare types for pricing SecuRate Air: Agreement Fares o SecuRate Air Direct 10/23/2002 Page 2
Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO) o SecuRate Air Private o SecuRate Air Net SecuRate Air provides customers the ability to create an agreement/fare database for travel between two specific cities or among an unlimited number of origin and destination cities. Agreement fares are the fares created in the SecuRate Air Direct database. Once the contract between the airline and the agency has been negotiated, the agency inputs the fares into the system using a series of templates. The fare is created under an Agreement Number, which is used in faring and pricing a SecuRate Air fare. The agency has complete control over these types of fares. The Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO) is the middleman for publishing fares. The airlines send ATPCO the negotiated fares agreed upon between the agency and the airlines. ATPCO manually codes the fares and sends them electronically to Worldspan. Worldspan releases the fares in the system. Only the specified SIDs can retrieve these fares. There are two categories of ATPCO fares: SecuRate Air Private private fares filed by the airline via ATPCO. SecuRate Air Net net fares filed by the airline via ATPCO where the agency has the ability to mark-up the fare to a higher fare based on guidelines specified in the rules given by the airline. 10/23/2002 Page 3

ATPCO has a set of different requirements, which is discussed later on in this class. To display SecuRate Air Agreement fares, the agreement number must be appended to the end of the fares display request. A maximum of 10 agreement numbers or 1 Corporate Identifier can be added in a single entry. Let s look at a fares display using SecuRate Air Agreement number PQ2DLPAR 3.

The agreement number listed in the last column of the display reflects the agreement database where the fare is housed. In this example, the agreement number PQ2DLPAR appears in the last column indicating the fares have been created under the agreement number PQ2DLPAR. If multiple agreement numbers are requested, each agreement number appears in the agreement number column to specify which agreement the fare pertains to.

Here is a list of the Power Pricing entries allowed with a SecuRate Air agreement. When the SecuRate Air agreement number is appended to the pricing entry- the system checks for the lowest fare including published and the specified SecuRate Air agreements. A total of 3 agreement numbers or 1 corporate identifier is allowed in a single Power Pricing entry. The option of.sr appended to the any pricing entry indicates the system checks only SecuRate Air agreement fares. 13.

Note that the Agreement Number field is included in the response to indicate the agreement number for the fare. PowerPoint - 05 Agreement Fares Guidelines: Rate Desk Priced, Low Fare Recheck, and Non-Itinerary Pricing are not applicable at this time with SecuRate Air. Surface-to-turn around pricing is not recognized by SecuRate Air. An itinerary prices with an open jaw instead. Both the outbound and the return itinerary dates must be within the contract dates or the SecuRate Air fare does not price unless otherwise noted in the agreement. These are just a few of the guidelines when faring and pricing itineraries using SecuRate Air. For a complete list, please see Agent Assistant SecuRate Air. Now, let s take a look at SecuRate Air via ATPCO. Airlines can file contract fares for selected users with Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO). The airline designates who may display and ticket these fares by IATA number or SID. Usually these fares will have a ticket designator code appended to the fare basis code and are separated by a slash. ATPCO fares work a little differently than SecuRate Air Agreement fares. With ATPCO fares an agreement number is not necessary for faring or pricing an itinerary. 10/23/2002 Page 14
