How do I do an even manual exchange in Amadeus?

When the new fare is the same or lower and nothing is collected: TTE deletes the old TST, FXB/K or FXP prices the new trip, TTK/EXCH sets exchange mode, TWD and FO*L14 link the old ticket, then RF and TTP/RT issue.

It can contain mistakes: try every entry in the Amadeus training office first, or check Amadeus's own help, before you use it on a live booking.

When

ATC is not available, no travel has started, and the new fare equals (or is below, without refund) the old one — the ticket is reissued with nothing to collect.

Steps

#EntryWhat it doesWhy

Traps

  • Only for journeys not started; partly flown tickets need fare calculation from the start.
  • Check the rules allow the change without penalty — otherwise it is a collection case.
