Study Notes

Flight Information Formats

Formats for displaying flight information vary based on the requirement and date.
For today’s flight information, use: 2(airline code)(flight number) (e.g., 2CO35).
For future flight information, the format is: 2(airline code)(flight number)/(date of departure) (e.g., 2IB6251/2AUG).
To include boarding and off points, the format becomes: 2(airline code)(flight number)/(date)(boarding point)(off point) (e.g., 2NH145/20APRHNDKIX).

Connectivity Tags in Sabre

Connectivity tags provide communication methods between Sabre and airlines.
/E indicates availability for Electronic Ticketing.
/DC(carrier code) allows seamless data transmission from the airline's reservation system to Sabre.
/DCA(carrier code) provides true availability within the Sabre system as if the user is in the airline's reservation system.

Cursor Definition

A cursor is a blinking character on the Sabre screen showing where the next typed character will appear.

Signing In and Out of Sabre

Sign in using a generic password, which will become your current passcode after the first login.
To change the passcode, enter the current passcode, input the new passcode, and press enter.
The passcode remains hidden for security purposes.

Married Segments

Married segments are linked segments that must be handled together in the system.
To cancel a married connection, use a single command (e.g., X3/4) to cancel both segments simultaneously.
Inserting an air segment between married segments will trigger an error.

Cancelling and Rebooking Segments

Cancel higher-numbered segments first when using separate entries.
Commands for cancellation and rebooking:
- Cancel and sell from city pair availability: X(segment number)‡(sell entry) (e.g., X2‡01Y1).
- Cancel and rebook for a new date: X(segment selection)‡00(new date) (e.g., X3‡0014JUL).
- Cancel and rebook by flight number: X(segment number)‡0(long sell entry) (e.g., X1‡0AA113SEPJFKLAXNN1).

Sending Messages to Carriers

To send a general message to a carrier: 3OSI (airline code) (free text) (e.g., 3OSI MX HONEYMOON TRIP).
For messages to specific passengers, add the name field number: 3OSI (airline code) (free text)-(name field number) (e.g., 3OSI QF SPEAKS FRENCH ONLY-1.2).
Transmit information specifically to American Airlines using: 4OSI (free text) (e.g., 4OSI 50 YEAR ANNIV TRIP).

Managing GFAX and AFAX Fields

Delete a single GFAX field: 3(line number)¤ (e.g., 32¤).
For multiple GFAX fields, use: 3(line number),(line number)¤.
To delete a range of GFAX fields, format as: 3(line number)-(line number)¤.
Similar commands exist for AFAX fields, using the same syntax.
