How do I check for lower fares in Amadeus (FXA)?

FXA lists cheaper available fares on the booked flights without rebooking anything; FXL shows the lowest possible fare and whether it has seats. FXU2 rebooks to line 2 and creates a TST, FXZ2 rebooks without one.

When

You want to see whether cheaper fares exist on the booked flights before deciding — without changing the booking.

Steps

#EntryWhat it doesWhy

4FXLThe lowest possible fare and whether seats are available.The floor price.
5FXU2Rebooks to the fare on line 2 and creates a TST (needs names).Accept it.
6FXZ2Rebooks to line 2 without a TST.Accept, price later.

Check it worked

The list shows each lower fare with the classes it needs; after FXU/FXZ, RTA shows the new classes.

Traps

  • A lower fare shown with /LO or by FXL may have no seats — only FXA (default) and /LA show available ones.
  • Lower fares usually have stricter rules; compare FQN before switching.
