When
The Amadeus display and the airline seem to disagree about seats, or you need the airline's live availability, seat map or record directly.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GG PCA UA | Shows whether the airline supports Direct Access and for what (AVL, SCH, PNR, FAR, FLI, SMP). | Not every airline offers it. |
| 2 | ACL2 | Switches line 2 of your AN display to the airline's Direct Access display. | Live view; flight lines start at 21. |
| 3 | 1UAAD30NOVLAXMIA | Direct Access availability, long entry. | Same, without an AN first. |
| 4 | SS1Y21 | Sells from the Direct Access display (line 21). | Booking the airline has confirmed live. |
| 5 | 1UARTABC123 | Displays the airline's own PNR by its locator. | See what the airline has. |
| 6 | HEDIRUA | Help on that airline's Direct Access entries. | Formats differ per airline. |

Why it matters
A Direct Access booking goes to the airline as LK and must be honoured — the airline cannot
reject it.
Traps
- You have three minutes to sell from a Direct Access display; then "REQUEST NEW AVAILABILITY".
- "PLEASE USE ANYY FOR REQUESTS OF YY DISPLAYS": the airline has Full Access and switched Direct
Access off — use the normal
AN. - "APPLICATION DISABLED" / "LOST RESPONSE - RETRY": the airline's system is down or slow — retry later.
