Passenger Fares and Ticketing - Advanced (classroom)

Did you know that in the past 5 years, 47 participants from 11 countries have taken this course with IATA?

5-day (40 hours) classroom course

Travellers can demand complex itineraries with the lowest fares, and a travel professional should be able to price and quote journeys with single or multiple pricing units. However, the lowest combination of fares can lead to more penalties for cancellation and date changes. Learn how to quote pricing of complex itineraries with surface sectors and how to determine different types of combinations: single versus multiple pricing units with possible end-on constructions and side trips.
