Baggage Allowance and Charges Disclosure Developer Admin Guide Nov 2011 Confidential and Proprietary Sabre Inc. 1

Introduction

This document is a technical guide intended for developers who are responsible for

making changes related to the new pricing responses for baggage allowance and

charges required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). You may need to

reprogram your applications or the third-party applications you use to benefit from

these enhancements.

About This Guide

The Sabre system has the capability of displaying/disclosing baggage allowances and

charges as required by the United States Department of Transportation Regulations

defined in the Federal Register for Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections.

Disclosure of baggage allowances and charges is required by the U.S. DOT at the

time of fare quotation for itineraries to/from and within the U.S. and become

effective on/after 24 January 2012. The purpose of this document is to detail the

pricing responses identifying baggage allowances and charges for a priced itinerary.

Entries and qualifiers associated with this product remain the same. Therefore, this

document details and describes only the responses associated with baggage

allowance and charges for itineraries to/from and within the United States.

All sections of this document are dedicated to the enhancements that must be

accommodated if you are using any screen-scraping applications that rely on standard

response formats.

Using this guide, review your internal processes, scripts, screen-scrapers, third-party

software, and structured data elements. Revisions to this document may be needed in

the future. In such cases, Sabre Holdings will notify you if any revisions become

available. You should be ready to update your applications to the new changes if

revisions are made. This guide is not inclusive of all possible scenarios; thus, not

every change is reflected in this document, but the major changes are included.

This guide provides information on the new disclosure messages for baggage

allowances and charges included in Air Pricing responses. Each chapter is as follows:

• Chapter 1, “Getting Started” explains the purpose of the document, details

critical information, and provides a functional overview and a description of the

changes to the system.

• Chapter 2, “Pricing Entries” explains the entries applicable to receiving baggage

fees.

• Chapter 3, “Pricing Responses” explains the new responses associated with

pricing when baggage allowance and charges are applicable to an itinerary

to/from/within the U.S.

Getting Started 1


• Chapter 4, “Sabre Data Services Response” explains the changes in Sabre Data

Services related to baggage messages.

• Glossary provides a glossary of terms used in this document.

Functional Overview

The U.S. Department of Transportation published a final ruling in the Federal

Register on Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections (DOT-OST-2010-0140) on 25

April 2011. Effective 24 January 2012, the U.S. DOT ruling requires carriers (U.S.

and Foreign) and agents to disclose information on free Baggage Allowance and

Charges for the first and second checked bag.

Sabre will comply with the U.S. DOT regulations providing an enhanced pricing

response displaying new text messages advising of Baggage Allowance and Charges

for the first and second checked bag. Disclosure of baggage information is based on

the following:

• Applicable to all itineraries to/from and within the U.S. regardless of the point of

sale.

• The first marketing carrier in each journey/itinerary governs the baggage rules

for interline and code share journeys wholly within the United States.

• The first most significant marketing carrier in each journey/itinerary governs the

baggage rules for international journeys to/from the US.

• Allowance and charge data is based on ATPCO carrier filings.

The Sabre system is accepting the ATPCO baggage data records and disclosing

baggage allowances and charges to the end user based on the booked itinerary and

the most significant marketing carrier/ first marketing carrier (domestic U.S.). The

system will retrieve and disclose baggage information in a pricing response to/from

and within the U.S.

Description of Response Changes

This section includes descriptions of response changes as a result of baggage

information disclosure, including:

• Pricing response – If the priced itinerary is to/from or within the U.S., the

response includes Baggage Disclosure trailer messages following the existing

responses of the fare calculation, endorsements, warning messages, validating

carrier message, and applicable account code messages. Ticketing Fees and Air

Extras will now follow the baggage disclosure messages.

Baggage disclosure messages include the following:

– Baggage allowance for all itineraries.

– Disclosure of first and second checked bag fees when baggage allowance is

NIL (no free baggage allowance).

– Disclosure of only the second checked bag fee when baggage allowance is one

piece.


– Identification of the marketing carrier code whose rules govern the

journey/itinerary.

– A trailer message indicating possible discounts or additional allowances may

apply based on passenger’s status (for example, frequent flyer, military

personnel, form of payment, and online check in).

– If no carrier data is found, a message indicating baggage data is unknown and

indicates the carrier whom should be contacted for details.


• • •


Introduction

No new entries exist for the disclosure of baggage allowance and charges. If

applicable for the itinerary, the pricing response will automatically include messages

detailing the baggage allowance and charges for first and second checked baggage

fees.

All pricing responses for WP, WPA, WPNC, WPNCB, and WPNCS entries will

return baggage disclosure messages for priced itineraries to/from and within the U.S.,

excluding pricing transactions for WQ, and WD entries.

For priced itineraries that are not to/from and within the U.S., the existing pricing

responses are not changed, and baggage disclosure messages will not be shown.

Entries

The baggage allowance and charges disclosure required by the U.S. DOT includes no

new entries.

Qualifiers

The baggage allowance and charges disclosure required by the U.S. DOT includes no

new qualifiers and no changes to existing qualifiers.

specified in the allowance and the allowance does not specify the number of pieces:

1 2 3 4 5 6

• When baggage allowance is only specified in weight, first and second checked

baggage fee messages will not be shown as the assumption is that weight applies

to each checked bag.

• Baggage allowances filed by the carrier in weight can be three numeric digits

and, therefore, the screen position may shift to the right.

Response Description for Baggage Fees

The section describes the new response lines associated with first and second
