Hoping someone here can answer this (and then I'll move it to somewhere it fits better), thanks in advance.

I booked TLV-JFK/LGA-PIT-LGA/JFK-TLV using a points website that books rev. LY is the issuing/ticketing carrier, the domestic legs are operated by AA.

AA PNR shows all four segments, but LY PNR is missing LGA-PIT.

Agency and AA are saying that leg is good to go, LY phone rep told me that segment is "informative" and passengers won't be able to fly that leg the way things are now.

Do you think this is an issue, and if yes, how do you suggest I resolve it?

Canceling and booking again is no longer possible because now it's pricing higher and don't want to pay the higher fare for all the passengers on the PNR.

it happens a lot with bookings issued on sabre for flights with ba and aa where the Amadeus pnr is missing some segments especially if there was a schedule change for the aa segment so it only updates the sabre pnr and leaves the Amadeus one as is

Amadeus Connectivity issues resolved

Posted 09/28/2017 07:35 in category System Technical and Maintenance

**RESOLVED** Amadeus Hosted carriers experienced connectivity issues. Sabre customers might have received pending status when trying to sell, Unconfirmed status (UC) when ending the record. They might also got ETR UNAVAILABLE responses when trying to display electronic tickets, or the error 999, when trying to issue tickets. This might affected Air France, Air Baltic, British Airways, Iberia, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, among other Amadeus airlines. This has been resolved.

I emailed my sales representative that agents tolde they will be switching to Sabre if classic is indeed discontinued. This is what she replied. True or BS?

All GDS will be changing the architecture of their systems. Everything is going web-based. We are just ahead of the game. If agents go to SABRE they

will be coming across the same thing in the near future.

I have always found travel agents do not like change at all (I was a travel agent for a long time and I was the same way).

They will see the formats are exactly the same-the screen just looks different. It actually looks more like it did before Selling Platform Classic and agents

did not like that change either.

I will work with you to make sure everything is ok.

What's your status?

Does anyone know how to do a long-sell for two flights (married segments) in one transaction?
Is it possible at all?
