Fare Builds for Route Based Fares

Route based fares, are airfares which are published between 2 points. The intermediate points and permitted airlines will be specified.

i.e. AKL-NAN/PPT/RAR/APW/TBU/HNL/SFO-LAX
(NZ/UA/VS)LON

If a route based airfare is not quoting in your GDS, to manually construct the airfare for ticketing follow the below process:

Example one

AKL LHR RT VEU1Y NZD3570.00

Divide the fare into two ½ RT's

AKL - LHR VEU1Y     ½ RT NZD1785.00
LHR - AKL VEU1Y     ½ RT NZD1785.00

Check for any applicable surcharges:
i.e stopovers, sectors surcharges, HKG security tax, Nav Can etc.

Convert to NUC

ROE1.611355

AKL - LHR VEU1Y ½ RT NZD1785.00 = 1107.76
LHR - AKL VEU1Y ½ RT NZD1785.00 = 1107.76  
HKG Q surcharge              4.22  
      = 2219.74  Total NUC
Convert total NUC to NZD NZD3576.79  
Rounded to NZD3577.00  


IATA rounding: round up the resulting fare to the next higher dollar amount.

Quote Taxes

To obtain the applicable taxes do a fare quote over ride. It is a good idea to use the IATA mileage fares such as YR, Y, or YIF and C, COW, CIF as these are most likely to quote.
