How to price a PNR for a specific passenger type (Cryptic)

Procedure

Some passengers qualifies for a discounted fares, for example, government, military, child, student, or senior citizen.

To display a discounted fare using a discount code or passenger type code (PTC), you can add that option to a:

  • PNR name element
  • Fare Discount (FD) element

You can display a discounted fare by adding the applicable PTC to the passenger's name before pricing.
