Airline call breaking MS even by selling segment by segment, (ex. JFK-CDG then CDG-TLV).
AF sends ADMs for 500€ and AZ 600€ per pax

If you book the first segment as DL/AF and the second as AF in order to get better availiblity, can they send you an adm? It's impossible to sell these segments as a married connection, and it does come up in wpni from time to time.

never tried it but once while calling sabre they gave me this script.

*AE

W‡EMD*AE1 OR 1/2 (if you're doing RT)
Playing with adding bag (save pax $15 on LY), seems to be roughly the same idea. Here's what I've got so far:

WPAE-SA*T2 - or whatever ticket line number you are doing. Also possible to do multiple via "-" or "/". For bag switch out "SA" with "BG"
AE¥1A1 - First "1" is quantity, second is line on extra desired. "¥N1.1" etc valid for name select. Multiple lines can be selected via "," separator (on LY each segment has its own line, so NYC-TLV would be one line and TLV-NYC another).

Then it's stored in the record similar to a WD. Once it is stored you can check the status with *AE. I think you can only issue the EMD once the status switches from HN to HD, and you have 24 hours from getting the HD to issue the EMD

Any Amadeus users ever have an issue with UA PNR's communicating with UA's reservation system?

I have had 1 problem where UA did not see the ticket number and it was showing as un-ticketed. I have also had problems with Meal requests.

Does anyone here know of a way to ticket a mixed class booking using an OTA?

For example JFK-LHR RT, Outbound in J, return in Y.

Which airline? At least UA you can do it on their site, as they have that option

BA specifically. But I'm looking for a way to do it with an OTA for all airlines.

I'm 99% sure that's impossible. The Airlines and OTA's just don't offer that advanced functionality to end users.

New Distribution Capability (NDC) is very interesting and is signalling a shift in how airline products are offered and sold. The GDS is going to be around for a long time, even while NDC is rolled out. I find it fascinating.

Below are some links regarding NDC.

just got this message from my consolidator - enjoy!

"We have been informed by Thai Airways just now that there has been a loading issue by the airline. The issue results in bookings being quoted without YQ surcharge. The problem is with all three GDS."
