Working with the tour code (FT) element -Amadeus

 

Procedure

The Tour Code element (FT) is used when a published tour or a special negotiated fare is sold in conjunction with a ticket. A Tour Code is a special code given by an airline that represents a commercial agreement between the travel agency and the airline. It can only be used upon an airline agreement. The maximum length is 12 characters, excluding the transaction code and the passenger and segment associations. If the tour code begins with BT or IT, the maximum number of characters allowed is 14.
