Pricing Overview
There are three levels of itinerary pricing in Sabre, these are known as phases.
Phase 3
Where Sabre automatically prices the itinerary at the fare required. This would be guaranteed
once ticketed.
Phase 3.5
Where Sabre does not automatically price the itinerary at the fare required and another fare
basis needs to be forced into the pricing entry. This is also known as command pricing.
This would not be guaranteed.
Phase 3.75
Where the fare required needs to be discounted in some way, either by percentage or an
amount and/or where a ticket designator needs to be applied. This is also known as
discount pricing. This would not be guaranteed.
Sample Copy Only

It is possible that the fare required is unable to be automatically priced at all; for example,
the fare needed is not a published fare. In this instance a Manual Fare Build/PHASE IV
manual fare would need to be used. Instructions for this can be found in the FARE BUILD
(PHASE IV TICKETING) student guide.

R
Phase 3
Where Sabre automatically prices the itinerary at the fare required. This would be guaranteed
once ticketed.
Sabre will make the following assumptions when a Phase 3 pricing entry is made:
All segments are to be priced
All passengers are adults
All names are to be priced
The fare required is the lowest fare in the class of service used
Fares priced as Phase 3 are guaranteed by Sabre only once ticketed.

Bargain Finder Overview
Bargain Finder-WPNC
Bargain Finder will check Sabre availability for the lowest fare for the itinerary already
booked. Only fares within the same cabin will be considered. If a lower fare is found
Sabre will give the option to rebook at the lower fare.
Bargain Finder Plus
Bargain Finder Plus automates the search for alternative itineraries with lower fares than
that currently booked. The default is for up to 9 options to be returned, but you can
request between 1 and 19 options in any market. This function will allow the opportunity
to rebook at any of the lower fares found.

Alternate City Qualifiers allow you to search for lower fare options in alternate cities for
the origin or destination. You may specify either alternate cities or a mileage radius of up
to 100 miles (100 miles equals approximately 160 Km. The radius must be entered in
miles.). The number of searchable alternate cities varies depending on the market.

Flight Finder
Flight Finder allows the user to first select a fare from a Fare Quote Display, then ask
Sabre to check for flights which are both available and applicable to the chosen fare.
Flight Finder will assume the outbound date from your Fare Quote Display.
If the Return Date is added to the original FQ entry, this will be read. If not, and the fare
could be one way or return, you will need to add either O to your JA format for one
way travel, or R(date) for return travel.

order to price the itinerary.

Create PQ Records
You can create a PQ record in one of three ways:

Create PQ record from the last itinerary pricing (WP) response
Create PQ record shortcut
Create PQ records and Future Processing (FP) lines
No fare stored in the PQ record is guaranteed until ticketed
When you issue the ticket, the system re-prices the itinerary based on the qualifiers you
stored in the PQ. The ticket then issues at the current fare, which may or may not be the
same as the fare stored in the PQ.
To receive a warning when the ticketing fare is different from the stored fare, see the
section TJR EDITS in this guide for the format to activate the Price Quote Retention
Alert.

Once PQ functionality has been activated, you can use a new entry to manually enter
pricing information when the system is unable to calculate a price. This item is for
informationpurposes only. You would still create a Phase IV if needed to issue a ticket.

Note: All PQ records created (except those created with the PQM- entry) are shown as
SYS (system priced). However the ticket reflects the correct code to identify
whether it was agent-priced or auto-priced.
All PQ records you create with a PQM- entry or PQ records manually fared by an
airline are shown as AGT (agent priced).
The PQ record detail displays the total ticket amount for one passenger only. The
number 01 following the passenger type reflects 1 passenger, regardless of the
number of passengers linked to the PQ record.

Passenger type only displays if it was included in your pricing entry and it is a
passenger type other than adult. All name numbers linked to a specific PQ record

Link PQ Records
If there are names in the PNR, the PQ record automatically links to all names in the PNR,
unless you specify name selection or passenger type in the PQ entry.
If there are no names in the PNR when you create the PQ record, you must manually
link the PQ record to the names once available. If you do not link the PQ record to the
names before end transaction, you receive the following warning message: UNLINKED PQ
TO BE DELETED - MANUALLY LINK TO RETAIN PQ
Caution: If you end transaction after receiving the warning message without linking the
PQ records to the names, all PQ records are discarded.
These entries are required if you add names to the PNR after you have created the PQ
record.

Note: You can link a name to multiple PQ records provided there is not segment over lap.
If you delete a name field, the link between the PQ record and the name is lost.
If you divide a PNR, the PQ records linked to each name remain with each name.
If you clone a PNR, the PQ records do not carry over to the new PNR.
A PQ record is created for an infant if an infant name field is present in the PNR.
Infant name fields can only be linked to INF PQ records.
As an alternative to linking the PQ record, just re-price and store the PQ again
once the names have been added.

Itinerary Changes
If the itinerary changes after the PQ record is created, an itinerary change indicator is
displayed on the signature line in the PQ Record Detail display. The indicator is displayed
immediately following the itinerary change; it does not require an end transaction.
Summary displays do not include the indicator.
Sample Copy Only

If you create a PQ record with no segment select and later update the PNR with
additional segments, the existing PQ record is not flagged ITIN CHG. This only occurs
when the change affects a segment linked to the PQ record.
There is no entry to re-create the PQ record. You must delete the affected PQ record and
create a new PQ record with the new or modified itinerary.
If you try to issue a ticket against a PQ record that has an itinerary change you receive
the error response of: UNABLE TO MODIFY/TICKET-PQ/PQR FLAGGED ITIN CHG.
If your ticketing entry includes multiple PQ records and one or more is flagged ITIN CHG,
the PQ records process up to the first invalid PQ record and then stop. The error message
above is also returned. For example: WPQ1-4, PQ record 3 is flagged ITIN CHG, PQ
records 1 and 2 process, PQ record 3 returns the error response and ticket processing
stops.

entry, only the ticketing qualifiers included in the ticketing entry are used to price

The PQ qualifier must always be the first qualifier following the W.
Qualifiers that were not input at the time the PQ record was retained can be
entered in the ticketing entry. These qualifiers override any duplicate qualifier
within the PQ record. Qualifiers which affect the price of the ticket (command
price, passenger type, segment select, tour code, etc.) cannot be overridden in
the ticketing entry. The PQ record is not updated if additional qualifiers are added
to the ticketing entry.

Refunding Tickets - QREX
The Price Quote Reissue mask:
1. Determines the original ticket value. Ticket data is obtained from the ticket image
database (for paper and electronic tickets), and the carriers electronic ticket database
(for electronic tickets), or input manually. This data includes the original ticket price.
2. Compares the original ticket value to any applicable flown segment value and
determines whether any additional amount is due to the passenger. You enter any
cancellation penalty in this step.
3. Processes the refund, issues applicable documentation and retains refund
information. The last screen in the process allows for final refund instructions prior to
processing the refund.
There are five general types of refunds.
Full refunds refunding the entire amount of the ticket
