anyone having any issues booking BA to TLV? everything coming up as UC?
You use Sabre? I believe Ba's availibility is sometimes not accurately displayed in Sabre and at times their flights don't autoprice correctly.
I've had such issues several times. It seems like Amadaeus is more reliable for Ba.

Ye I use sabre,... I see.. TY.
Any Sabre users know how to fix this thing up?
Also anyone here live in the UK? or know a agent/Consolidator in the UK who can book me some tickets, that are much cheaper with UK sales city?
I'd love to get more than just by booking it on a UK meta flights site

Regarding remote/jump/AAA.
Worldspan allows you to work in a differnet PCC in one work area, while the other work area could be in a third PCC.
Sabre allows the same, and they allow you to have 2 Sabre windows open (for example, 1 from PCC A, and one for PCC B).
Amadeus on the other hand, you can only have 1 Amadeus open, and when jumping, all areas gets jumps.
Someone has a workaround?

I having an issue with Ba again. This itin autoprices in Sabre at 9544.02, but on Ba's website and in Amadaeus I'm getting 9038.02. Both are pulling different prices when the itinerary is booked in the exact same rbd listed below.

That's the real (DC) availability. Sabre's availability is sometimes inaccurate/lagging for certain airlines. You can use exchange for accurate results

TK is just as bad in Amadeus

Turkish is killing me

anyone know why i can't get these 2 V class seats in my res? keeps coming up as UC when i take them??

As well it doesnt show the V class when i do a reg search i.e 102OCTTLVIST‡TK/D

In Amadeus, for example NYC to TLV, if I SS segment 1, then when searching for segment 2, the result will be 'no flights'

Hard to believe those guys would pay to publish to a GDS.

With a regular booking as long as it isn't more than 9 pax I get the locator. Sometimes when I book the return segment of an open ticket in the original pnr, it doesn't come in automatically, but by the next day it's there.

Just this email from Sabre

Quote
Earlier this year Sabre released a new Sabre Red App, Invoice Itinerary Storage.  It has quickly become one of the most popular Red Apps this year. 

If you are not familiar with the App, I have attached a short 5 ½ minute demo that highlights the features of this time-saving App.  Please take a few minutes to review the demo.  I know once you see it you’ll want it for your office.  At the bottom of this e-mail I have included downloading instructions.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Demo Link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/b6phblyl1uu2xhf/I%26IDemo.mp4

Invoice Itinerary Storage App - $199 one-time charge

This App creates your own local storage database of every invoice you issue…..all stored electronically…no paper!  This could serve as a handy back up if you already have an automated accounting system.  And if you don’t use an automated accounting system, this App is a “must-have”.  You can search, retrieve and email any past invoice your customer may want.  And you can email from directly within the App.  Once you have the invoice pasted into your email, the text becomes editable, so you can modify, highlight, etc.

To download this App, access the Sabre Red App center link below, log in for purchase details and request the App.  You must have Ordering or Admin rights turned on in Agency E-Services to be able to order Apps.  https://www.sabreredappcentre.sabre.com/Sellers/Sabre-Travel-Network/Invoice-and-Itinerary-Storage.aspx

Wow. Sabre STARs. Just what I've been looking for!


Did someone get this done?

"Migration to Sabre Profiles"

Quote
As you may be aware, Sabre will be sun-setting STARs by the end of this year and will be migrating all Sabre customers to Sabre Profiles, our new profile product.
 
I strongly encourage you and your agents to start planning for this migration by preparing with the following:
 
•         Training - there are several training classes offered for Sabre Profiles - from just getting started to advanced administrative classes.  You can take one or all of them!
•         Clean up your existing STARs so that the migration process will involve few adjustments for mapping of information (i.e. delete or update expired credit cards, determine if you can delete duplicate names, be consistent with where you have information and determine if there is something "specific" to your agency and or customers)
 
I have attached a "getting started" notice about Sabre Profiles and will also be running a data quality report which I will send you in the next couple of weeks.  Once I send that report, I would like to have a call with you to discuss what the report contains.  The report is sent in a zipped format, so it will be important for you to have the WinZip program installed.
