Amadeus Product News
Extra seat and cabin baggage requests included in the name
element
Product Name
Amadeus PNR
Effective Date
9 January 2008
Overview
When an extra seat (EXST) or cabin baggage (CBBG) exists in the name, at PNR end of
transaction, the system will verify that the corresponding SSR exists for each active flight
segment present in the PNR (instead of verifying that there is one SSR existing for the complete
itinerary).
If the PNR does not contain one SSR element per active flight segment present in the itinerary,
an error message is displayed.
Main Benefits
This change is introduced to correct an inconsistency in Amadeus.

Illustration
Current situation:
When several segments are present in the PNR, at end of transaction the system checks whether
one SSR CBBG/EXST is present which allows the PNR to be end transacted with one SSR
request for one segment (which is segment and passenger associated) but not for the other
segments:

Future situation (from 9 January 2007):
When an EXST or CBBG exists in the name element, the system will at time of end of transaction
check that the corresponding SSR exists for each active flight segment present in the PNR,
otherwise it is rejected with error response:
RESTRICTED: NEED SSR EXST or NEED SSR CBBG
