Category 35 Ticketing Combinations Across Public & Private

Introduction
value
Prior to this implementation Category 10 was the sole Rule Category used
to control the fares combinable for pricing.
However, the increase of Cat 35 Negotiated Fares in markets highlighted a
challenge in ticketing these fares as Category 35 stores information
pertinent to ticketing including:
• Net and/or Selling fare levels
• Tour codes
• Commission/mark up values
• Baggage Allowance
As more carriers deployed Category 35 it became evident that combining
Category 35 fares with other Category 35/15 private fares or standard public
fares created conflicts in the data for ticketing.
Therefore both Category 10 and Category 35 must be validated so prices are
returned that can be consistently ticketed at the same level without surprise.
