The Passenger Standards Conference Tariffs Manual is a cornerstone of the publications related to the Passenger Tariff Coordinating Conferences. It consists of Resolutions divided into five different important pillars:
- Common Industry Definitions
- Mileage Principles
- Fare Construction Principles
- Common Currency Application
- Interline Baggage Acceptance Rules
Common Industry Definitions
Allows the industry to have a standard application and a common understanding of the fare related definitions applicable to the Resolutions of the Passenger Tariff Coordinating Conferences
Mileage Principles

Fare Construction Principles
