AMADEUS QUEUS

The Amadeus Queue system is an electronic diary that helps you to manage your travel office’s messages and reservations. Amadeus Queues help us to:

Simplify your work environment Organize your workload

Send PNRS and messages to queues in your office and to branch office queues Work on PNRS and messages that require further action

PNRS may require further action for the following reasons:

- Segments, services, options, or seats from a waitlist have not yet been confirmed. - The office responsible for the PNR has changed.

- There has been a change in the flight segment.

- There has been a change in the ticketing arrangement. - The ticketing time limit has expired.

- There has been a change in the group PNR.

Each airline and travel agent is provided with a queue bank for automatic placement of PNRS and messages.

What Is a Queue?

A queue is a holding area for PNRs or messages that will require further action at a later date or time. It is identified by a number from 1 to 99. Each queue can be divided into categories, which are numbered from 0 to 254. Some queues may also be further divided into four date ranges.

Some queue numbers are predetermined by Amadeus because of industry standards. PNRs and messages are automatically placed in these predetermined queues by airlines, hotel companies, car companies, other providers and Amadeus.

The Queue system sorts reservations and messages into three divisions:

Queue Numbers

Queue Numbers are assigned automatically by the system. They correspond to the type of action required in the PNR.

Categories

Queue Categories are a sub-division that divide PNRS in the same queue corresponding to the exact action required in the PNR. Its displayed as ( C ) and are numbered from 0 to 254.

Date Ranges

Date ranges divide PNRS in the same queue in the same category according to the urgency of the action required.

DATE RANGE CODE DESCRIPTION

D1 Date Range 1 – Today plus two (2) days in future

D2 Date Range 2 – Three (3) to five (5 ) days from current date D3 Date Range 3 – Six (6) to Eight (8) days from current date D4 Date Range 4 – Nine (9) days and beyond from current date

(20)

QUEUE BANK -

Every office has its own queue bank. Travel agencies are automatically provided with 16 predefined queues and airline offices with 19 queues.

You can create additional queues where you can manually place PNRs and messages that require follow-up. And you can select one category to be associated to your Amadeus sign, so that any PNRs or Messages you create will be placed in the appropriate queue in your assigned category.

CERTAIN ACTIONS SUCH AS CONFIRMATION/DENIAL OF A SEGMENT OR ACTIONS ON GROUP PNRS TRIGGER AUTOMATIC QUEUING OR MESSAGING. PNRS CAN ALSO BE PLACED ON QUEUES MANUALLY.

EACH AIRLINE AND TRAVEL AGENT IS PROVIDED WITH A QUEUE BANK FOR AUTOMATIC PLACEMENT OF PNRS AND MESSAGES. THE QUEUES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ARE SHOWN HERE :

QUEUE DESCRIPTION
