Introduction Amadeus Master Pricer Expert is a shopping solution which provides you with the cheapest recommendations for your query. You can use Master Pricer Expert with or without an active PNR to search for available fares. The system returns alternative recommendations that you can use to either create a new booking or to replace the existing itinerary. This quick card contains two scenarios that show you how to use Master Pricer Expert. It also explains how to associate Master Pricer Expert options at either segment level or itinerary level and lists the flight and fare options. For more information about Master Pricer Expert and its options, enter HE FXD in Amadeus command page.

Amadeus Master Pricer Expert in action Here are two examples of how to use Master Pricer Expert entries with and without an active PNR.

Scenario 1: Without a PNR (standalone entry) You are a travel agent in Doha. You want to book a flight for an adult passenger from Doha to London on November 05 and return on November 15. To find low fares for this itinerary follow these steps: For a return trip enter;

FXDDOH/D05NOVLHR/D15NOVDOH

The following recommendations are displayed:

Master Pricer Expert returns the list of recommendations in groups. Each set of recommendations in the same group shares the same price, tax, fare basis and booking code. The total fare is presented in brackets for all passengers on top of each recommendation. The currency shown is the currency of the point of sale by default. Each recommendation specifies actual passenger type codes (PTC), the tax amount and flight details. You can view pricing appended messages such as refund, last ticketing date, etc. Possible follow-up entries are also listed for each group. For each group only the first recommendation is displayed. To display all recommendations for one specific group, enter: FXS and the recommendation number: Example FXS2 To book and price a recommendation from FXD or FXS display, without storing a TST enter: FXZ and the recommendation number: Example FXZ2 To create a TST from the FXD or FXS display, enter: FXU and the recommendation number: Example FXU2 Once recommendation is booked and priced, you can request:

• The fare note with FQN • Routing information with FQR • Booking code information with FQS • The ticket image with FQQ • Flight information with DO from PNR display

Note! If prior to booking, you want to return to a previous display, use MP entries: Example MPFXD You can search seats and fares for several passengers at the same time by adding the number of passengers required with the request: Example search travel recommendations for 4 passengers: FXD4DOH/D05NOVLHR/D15NOVDOH An alternative is to start by entering names with passenger type code into the PNR. You then do not need to specify the number of passengers or PTCs in the FXD query. The amount shown in brackets in the FXD and FXS displays is the total amount for the complete party. When the recommendation has been booked, priced and a TST created, you can then complete your PNR.

Scenario 2: With an Active PNR

You need to search for cheaper recommendations for an itinerary already booked in a PNR or your customer would like to depart and return three days later than originally planned. Simply retrieve the PNR and enter: FXD to search for cheaper recommendations with current PNR itinerary or, FXD//D3 to search for recommendations 3 days later.

Example

The first recommendation shows the price to beat, which is the lowest (best) available fare for the current PNR journey. The other recommendations are the cheapest for the same PNR itinerary. All options specified with the FXD command override PNR content. See Flight and Fare Options in below table. Again, to display all recommendations for one specific group, you can use FXS and the recommendation number To rebook with a proposed recommendation, you can use the following commands with the recommendation number: FXZ to rebook and price, FXU to also create the TST.
