How do I add a meal or other SSR in Amadeus?

SR VGML/P2 asks the airline for a vegan meal for passenger 2; other meal codes include VLML, KSML, MOML, GFML, CHML and BBML. RTG shows the airline's answer: HK or KK confirmed, UN or NO refused.

When

The client has a dietary need, carries a bike or an instrument, or you rebooked flights and the old SSRs must follow to the new segments.

Check it worked

RTG shows the SSR with the airline's status (confirmed HK/KK, or refused UN/NO).

Traps

  • Meals are usually requested at least 24-48 hours before departure, and not every airline or cabin serves every code — check GG AIR <code>.
  • Bikes, extra bags, pets and seats are often chargeable: the SSR alone is not a guarantee until paid on an EMD (see What an EMD is — EMD-A vs EMD-S, RFIC and RFISC).
  • After SB rebooking, SSRs may stay on the old segment — replicate them (step 6).
