Issued my first UA E+ seats on Sabre. Very simple, just select the seats, and once they're confirmed issue EMD in the following format:
W¥EMD*AE(line number(s)). You can see AE lines by *AE

Yay!!! Super proud of you  ;D

That was all it took? Do you have a screenshot by any chance?

Confession of mine:

I have a phobia of EMD's with the ancillary's.

Bit the bullet earlier today, and have done 9 total. Another advantage of doing it in GDS is that you can hold seat for 24 hours without payment, and I believe without ticket

Are you sure?
At least LY said that you can hold for 4 hours and only after you have a ticket

Seats are the easy ones, the other types (manual) are a bit difficult, but someone like you should have a phobia?

Lol, I don't do it often and I learn new stuff every day. I do the XBAS easily. LY does let you hold the seat max 4 hours and then the EMD has to be issued.

The IAR looks like a nightmare. I took the ARC Specialist test. The amount to know is crazy. There are so many rules.

The IAR is whatever, but the ARC Specialist course doesn't teach you that, the test is so so so so so outdated, its pretty 80s, so far that I had to drop the test, even after they promised me that a revision is coming out but never happened

You use to have to keep stock of tickets and if you ran out then you couldn't issue. There was a part in there if you couldn't print the ticket, how to write it out.

No clue about PTA's

Prepaid Ticket Advice   PTA   Form used when a ticket is issued at the airport of the same or another city.

That's from the ARC Glossary. Still no clue what that means.  :)

You basically paid the agent, and picked up the ticket at the airport
