Air bookings – crs & non crs bookings

On the left list bar, press AIR BOOKING to move to the FLIGHT SECTOR INFORMATION area. This section can be filled in manually, but would normally be completed automatically by Importing from your CRS.

When creating flight bookings outside of the CRS such as Internet bookings, it is recommended that PASSIVE PNRs are created in your Reservation system. Importing these sectors will eliminate any manual loading the actual flight details.

  • Manually enter fields that you want to appear in this area or Import from CRS using only the routing column
  • The Air Sectors and flight information downloaded from the CRS are displayed and the Air pricing Line (If fare stored, ticketed or e-ticketed) will also be displayed and highlighted.

 

If pricing is not present from Importing you can ADD PRICING. This will open the AIR PASSENGER PRICING screen to enable pricing to be added if it has not been imported from the CRS.
