When
Use this card when a filed fare shows a one-letter code and you need to know what it means — above all whether the fare is eligible for Travelport's ADM review if the airline later sends an ADM.
Check first
- The booking file is on screen and you know the number of the filed fare (
*FF).
The codes
Each filed fare carries two codes. The FCPI letter tells how the fare was produced. The FCMI digit (0, 1 or 2) is what the BSP ticket reports about it.
| FCPI | FCMI | How the fare came about | ADM review |
|---|---|---|---|
G | 0 | Public fare, priced by the system. | Yes |
A | 0 | Airline private fare, priced by the system. | Yes |
Z | 0 | Agency private fare the system marked up from an airline net fare, under the airline's rules. | Yes |
G A Z | 2 | As above, but baggage, taxes or fees were edited. | Yes |
M | 1 | Manipulated: a fare or discount modifier was used. | No |
P | 1 | Agency private fare on a standard contract, or airline private fare with a discount modifier. | No |
B | 1 | Built by hand. | No |
R | 1 | Restored. | No |
I | – | Invalid: the flights changed after the quote. | No |
X | – | Expired. | No |
T | – | A ticket, as kept in history. | No |
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | *FF1 | Shows filed fare 1 with its code. | Read the code before issuing. |
| 2 | FQ | Quotes again. | The way out of I, X or an unwanted M. |
| 3 | TKP1OKX | Issues filed fare 1 although it has expired (X). | Only after checking the fare still applies. |
Check it worked
After a fresh FQ without modifiers, *FF normally shows G, A or Z (an agency private fare on a standard contract shows P).
Traps
- What creates an
M: a percentage or amount change, a forced fare basis, an override of whose fares are used, a historical quote. Useful tools, none of them guaranteed. Xmeans the filed fare has expired.TKP1OKXissues it all the same — quote again first unless you are sure the price still holds.- Do not issue on
I. Quote again, or restore the fare (it becomesR) only if you are sure it still applies (Change or restore a filed fare without a new quote). - ADM review is there only for fares the system priced and you left alone, apart from baggage, taxes or fees.
