10.1 INTRODUCTION
Electronic Ticketing, also known as Ticketless Travel, is a mean of selling air
transportation without requiring the issuance of paper value documents i.e. paper flight
coupons to the passenger. It eliminates the distribution and processing of accountable
documents by the travel agent as well as removes the need for passenger obtaining or
carrying valuable flight coupons.
Abacus host has the capability to establish a direct link with carriers who are Direct
Connect participants. An electronic ticket is used exactly the same way as paper ticket.
However, instead of processing a paper document, the link enables host to create,
update and transmit ticketing data to the validating carriers electronic ticketing
database on a real-time basis. Hence, Abacus system will be able to detect and send an
error to the user should the validating carriers system fails. User can choose to retry the
entry for Electronic ticket or issue a paper ticket.
The validating carrier will verify all the information and approves issuance. An Electronic
Ticket Record (ETR) is an electronic copy of the flight coupon information which will be
created and stored in the validating carriers system upon issuance of an electronic
ticket.
Electronic Ticketing procedures and ticketing restrictions of different markets
are determined by the local BSP and issuing carriers. For example, OPATB2
markets, Agent coupon will be printed from the ticket printer while settlement
documents including Electronic ticket passenger/itinerary receipt are printed from the
hardcopy printer. For OPTAT markets, Agent coupon, Credit card charge form (if any) and
other paper settlement documents will be printed from the hardcopy printer. These
documents are printed for settlement and auditing purposes as is done with paper
tickets.
There are two main indicators in the Travel Journal Record (TJR) to be updated
for activation of Electronic Ticketing. These indicators are Electronic
Ticketing Restricted and ETR Carriers.

Abacus Fares and Ticketing Electronic Ticketing
FOID is known as a specific Form of Identification to a validating carrier to
advise what form of ID a passenger will be presenting at check in for travel on
an Electronic ticket. Electronic ticket may not be issued until the FOID
message has been sent to the validating carrier. This will be covered in the
later section of Chapter 10.
It is important to check the Electronic Ticketing Profile (ETP) table of
each validating carrier before performing Electronic Ticketing
transactions. This table may not wholly govern the Electronic
Ticketing functions of a validating carrier for specific market. Local
BSP procedures still apply for each markets practice.
10.3 ELECTRONIC TICKETING
Abacus City Pair Availability (CPA) display will reflect the /E indicator for Electronic
Ticketing (ET) eligible flights. ET eligibility indicator /E will only be returned in the CPA
response if the segment is specified by the airline to be eligible for Electronic ticketing. If
ET eligibility indicator is not reflected in the CPA, segment will not be eligible for ET and
/N indicator will be appended upon segment sold.

1. CPA with the /E indicator for ET eligible flights
Response Explanation:
Row 0 The /E indicator will be appended to the sold segment for
Electronic Ticketing. Paper ticketing is still allowed even if the
indicator is appended to the sold segment.
Row O The flight UA/NH8232 is not eligible for Electronic Ticketing. A
/N will be appended to the sold segment. See
Since UA/NH8232 is a connecting flight of UA890 without the ET eligibility
indicator, Electronic ticketing will not be allowed. Paper tickets are
recommended for such issuance.
2. Sold segment with ET eligibility indicator /E
Response Explanation:
Row 0 The eligibility indicator /E tag at the end of segment one is
eligible for Electronic Ticketing.
Row O With the /N indicator, segment two is not eligible for Electronic
Ticketing. See
If user attempt to issue electronic ticket for segment(s) that is not eligible for
Electronic ticketing, the following error response will be displayed:
CHECK ITINERARY-1 OR MORE SEGMENTS NOT VALID FOR ETR-14-0052
Besides having the /E indicator to qualify for ET, it is mandatory
that the Airline record locator is returned by the carrier and updated
in Abacus PNR before electronic ticket issuance.

10.3.3 ELECTRONIC TICKETING
Before you begin with Electronic tickets issuance, it is necessary to refer to the
Electronic Ticketing Associate Profile (ETP) table for carriers specific procedures and
Electronic ticketing restrictions. Auto-Priced or Rate-Desk Priced Ticket Fare Record (TFR)
must be created and stored in the PNR before Electronic ticket issuance.
10.3.3.1 ELECTRONIC TICKET ISSUANCE
There are no changes to the current ticketing entries. However, a qualifier ETR may be
required in the ticketing entries to differentiate the issuance of Electronic Ticket from
paper tickets. Any other ticketing qualifiers such as endorsement remarks, tourcode etc
can be appended to the ticketing entry as per current functionalities.
If the Automatic Electronic Ticketing option in the TJR is turned on
for specific carriers in specific markets, then system will print E-
ticket by default. To override the default option i.e. E-ticket, agents
have to specify the qualifier XETR in the ticketing command.
The following documents will be printed from the hardcopy printer and ATB2 ticket
printer for ATB2 printer type:
Agent coupon
Credit Card Charge Form (if applicable)
Electronic Ticket Passenger/Itinerary Receipt

An Electronic Settlement Authorisation Code (ESAC) will be transmitted
by the Electronic Ticketing carrier. The ESAC will be printed onto the REA
Notice (Refund/Exchange Authorisation) from the hardcopy printer.
The flight coupon status in the old Electronic Ticket Record (ETR) will be
updated from OPEN to EXCH whilst the new ETR will reflect the status as
OPEN.
For Electronic Tickets, do not use the XX option as some
carriers systems do not accept free text as form of payment.
Otherwise, an error response will be returned upon ticket issuance.
For such scenario, verify with the local ARO on the Form of Payment
type to be used.
10.3.4 DISPLAY ELECTRONIC TICKET RECORD (ETR)
After an Electronic Ticket issuance, an Electronic Ticket Record (ETR) will be created and
stored in the validating carriers database which is viewable in Abacus PNR.
Abacus system will validate the IATA numbers in the display request message to ensure
that only authorized agents are allowed to retrieve and view the ETR. Authorized agents
include the issuing agent as well as their branched locations.
Electronic Ticket Record (ETR) can be displayed through any one of the following search
criteria:
From the ticketing field of a PNR
By ticket number
The search option From the ticketing field of a PNR is available using
cryptic entry only.
The search option By ticket number is available using both cryptic entry
and mask capabilities (Extended Electronic Ticket search).
BSP requirement for storing of historical ETRs in ticketing carriers
database is up to 13 months. However, Airlines may have their own
in-house requirement to store ETRs. Therefore, you may refer to the
local Airlines office for more information on the duration of historical
ETRs retained in their ticketing database.
