Concept
Finnair makes its flight tickets easier to sell by introducing five new ticket types that differ in
service elements and travel terms.
Benefits of the new ticket types

Easy to understand ticket types for our customers

Simplified fare rules that are easier to compare and communicate to our customers

Fare rules more harmonized across markets

More options with fully combinable fares to meet different travel needs

More value for money with new priority services in PRO ticket type

All ticket types continue to include one checked bag and meal/snack/beverages on
Finnair operated flights
Note: The booking class examples below represent the fare structure from Europe.
Basic: (booking classes R, Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L):
The best bargain with all the basic services for a convenient journey.
Value: (booking classes R, Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L, K, M, P, T):
Flexibility for the leisure or commuter traveller flying in Economy Class.
Pro: (booking classes Y, B, H):
Business travellers priority services and fully flexible terms in Economy Class.
Business Saver: (booking class I, long-haul)
Ideal for leisure travellers wishing to be pampered and for business travellers.
Business: (booking classes J, C, D + I intra Europe)
The premium choice for Business Class service and full flexibility.
In addition to the above five fare families there is one additional ticket type called “Saver”,
which contains restricted starting-from fares in the lowest booking classes in fares from Asia and
North America.

New ticket types and code-share flights
The new branded fares are generally valid also on code-share flights.
Priority airport service elements included in the new PRO fares such as priority check-in, priority
baggage, priority security, priority boarding as well as the complimentary upgrade on European
connecting flights for PRO customers are only valid on flights that are both Finnair (AY)
marketed and operated + on Flybe (BE) operated AY2000 flights.
What changes

Reservations
Fare basis reflects the fare family:
 BU business
 SA business saver
 PR pro
 VA value
 BA basic
 SV Economy Saver (Asia/North America)
Examples:
VHVA2FI: booking class "V" + seasonality code "H" = high + fare family "VA" + RT fare
indicator “2” + country code “FI”
YPR0DE = booking class “Y” + fare family “PR” + OW fare indicator “0” + country code “DE”
VLBA2FI = booking class "V" + seasonality code "L"= low + fare family "BA" + RT fare indicator
"2" + country code "FI"
In fare structures originating in Europe Basic and Value fares are filed using partly same
booking classes. This makes up-sell easier as the price difference is small. Basic and Value are
equal in terms of services offered, but differ by changes & refunds
Asia
Fare basis codes will be changed starting end of January 2013 to better reflect the new brand
names.

Tip 1: Select combinations with pricing by fare basis
In pricing a limited number of combinations are offered. A-option can be used to select a
required combination by fare basis, e.g. flexible fare inbound. This command creates an
automatic pricing.
FXP/A-FARE BASIS
Examples:
A. Select the whole pricing in the specified fare basis:
FXP/A-RVA2DE
B. Select segment 2 and segment 3 in different fare basis:
FXP/A2-RBA2FI/A3-RVA2FI

Tip 2: “Upsell” Value fare
Amadeus low fare search tools (All Fares, FXD) are by default offering lowest available fares.
After cheapest fare has been booked, regular pricing FXP or Best Pricer FXA can be used
for ”upsell” of Value fare.

Galileo tips
In fare structures originating in Europe Basic and Value fares are filed using partly same booking
classes. Basic Galileo pricing and Shopping commands are designed to look for lowest available
fare within booking class and therefore they will automatically offer Basic fares, not Value fares.
Tip 1: FQA (Fare Quote Alternative) - Price and Upsell value fares
FQA will quote a maximum of four alternative (lowest) fares for the booked flights in booking
class chosen. With this command you can easily compare and sell both Basic and Value fares.
You can also use this command for upsell after using Galileo low fare search tools FS and FQBB.
In case there is available both basic and value fare for the booking class FQA offers pure Basic
and Value fares and also their combinations.
Example:
A. Both outbound and inbound flights in Europe are bookend in Q-class:

Tip 2: Force combinations with pricing by fare basis
In FQA pricing maximum of four combinations are offered. Pricing by fare basis can be used in
case there would be more combinations and FQA do not offer the needed one.
Examples:
A. Same fare basis for all segments:
FQ@QVA2FI
B. Different fare basis for outbound and inbound segments:
FQS1-2@QBA2FI.3-4@QVA2FI
Tip 3: Targeting specific Branded fares
Penalty/Restriction and traveling class options can be used in pricing and shopping commands to
target fares that match specific criteria’s:
:NR – target Pro fares
++-BUSNS – target Business Saver fares if available for routing. Otherwise Business fares
:NR++-BUSNS – target Business fares
Corporate
Corporate fares are realigned with the new fare families. Y, B, H corporate fares are entitled to
same priority services as published PRO fares.
Note: when the new published fares are launched name change is not automatically permitted in
all corporate fares; check Penalty-category.
UMNR
At the moment all fare notes include text “Contact carrier for details.”
All fares from Q upwards (Q included, also Youth fares) can be used for unaccompanied children.
No child discount.

Electronic ticket
The fare family is not shown in the e-ticket, but the fare basis reflects it.
Changes
Automated Reissues
Automated reissue tools support new ticket types.
Note:
BUSINESS/PRO and VALUE FARES (KMPT):
Reissue is based on identical RBD (or alternative in Y class for business class fares) irrespective
of value - if new fare is cheaper residual is refunded. Rerouting permitted.
VALUE (except KMPT), BASIC and SAVER FARES:
Previously many AY re-issue rules have been based on fare type, e.g. “equal or higher fare
type” With branded fares this has now been changed and where re-issue is permitted to equal
or higher fare, it is permitted to “equal or higher base amount”, i.e. system does not look for
similar fares but an amount. Rerouting not permitted.

Galileo tips for ticket changes
Tip 1: Changes when only flights or dates are changed
Changes when only date and/or flight are changed can be done using revalidation. Depending of
the market if there is a change fee involved it will be collected by EMD-S, VMCO or via BSP link
VMPD. See section “Collection of change fee” for more details.
REVALIDATION
Revalidation is done per segment. Only those segments must be revalidated that are changed.
11 Fare Branding Travel Agencies
Example:
TKRETS2/TN1059900281382/C2
S2 = Segment number in booking file, 1259900281382 = Ticket number, C2= coupon number
In case the date of traveling is changed and the original flight coupon´s not valid before and
after dates are locked to original travel date add the new travel date into revalidation command.
Example:
TKRETS2/TN1059900281382/C2/NVB11FEB13/NVA11FEB13
NVB = not valid before, NVA = not valid after
To revalidate a ticket for infant add IN after TN
Example:
TKRETS1/TNIN1059900281385/C1
Tip 2: Changes when booking class and/or routing is changed
When booking class and/or routing are changed ticket must be reissued/exchanged as usually.
Depending of the market if there is a change fee involved it will be collected separately by EMDS, VMCO or via BSP link VMPD. See section “Collection of change fee” for more details.
If ticket is unused at the time of change you must recalculate the ticket with fares of date of
exchange. You can usually use as help automatic pricing FQA, FQ, or force the fare by fare basis
(FQ@) To create the Filed Fare for exchange. Remember always to check the taxes and remove
the ones that have already paid in original ticket. In case the original ticket´s base fare is not in
your local currency you must create the Filed Fare manually.
In case ticket is partially used new fare is calculated with fares of date originally issuance.
Filled Fare for exchange is created manually.
Tip 3: Collection of change fee in different markets
A) Markets using EMD-S for Finnair (Electronic Miscellaneous Document)
Create EMD-S elements to the booking file. You must create individual EMD-S element for each
passenger/ticket.
Example:
0SVCAYEK1HEL15DEC-N2/D/922/CHANGE FEE/50.00 <enter>
AY = Finnair two letter code, HEL = Departure Airport, 15DEC = date which can be e.g. date of
departure or date of EMD issuance. Travel Agency can decide what date to use. N2 = Passenger
number in booking file 50.00 = change fee amount
Example of EMD-S elements in booking file before EMD issuance:

Now save the booking file and issue each EMD separately.
Example of change fee EMD-S issuance command:
EMDI/SM1/IC1055785722720
SM1 = SVC-element segment line 1 in booking file, 1055785722720 = Ticket number that EMD
will be issued in connection with.
After issuance the EMD numbers will be displayed in SVC elements. Also EK status has changed
to HI.

2. SVC AY HI1 HEL 15DEC-D/992/CHANGE FEE/NM-1JONES/ARTHURMR/
1051810707661C1/50.00/EUR
For Finnair adding EMD numbers as SI-element (OSI) to Booking File is not any more needed.
In near future Travelport will launch Electronic Miscellaneous Document Generator (EMD
Generator) application which will make EMD segment creation and issuance even easier.
B) Markets using VMCO via Galileo or VMPD via BSPLink
You can collect Finnair change fees VMCO via Galileo. In case if VMCO is not available on your
market use VMPD via BSPLink to collect change fees. You must create individual EMD-S element
for each passenger/ticket.
After issuing the VMCO or VPMD it is mandatory to add SI.-element (OSI) to the booking file to
inform Finnair of collection of change fee document number. To create SI.-element use exactly
this format.
