Overview
Currently at fare quote when no plating carrier is found for an itinerary an error is returned to the user
advising “NO PLATING CARRIER FOUND”, “NO PLATING CARRIER FOUND-INTERLINE
AGREEMENT” or “NO PLATING CARRIER FOUND-ET INTERLINE AGREEMENT.” As a carrier may
have Electronic Ticket interline agreements with other carriers, these current responses will be enhanced
to include a new tab stop and fill-in tab stop to display an IET Table for a carrier.
Customer Benefit
Straightforward means to display a carrier’s Electronic Ticket interline agreements.
Locate a plating carrier when one is not found at fare quote.
Achieve 100% Electronic Ticketing.
Detail and Customer Examples
Based on whether an itinerary is of a single carrier or combination of carriers, one of the following two
new responses will be returned to the user when no plating carrier is found at fare quote.
