Following is an explanation of the information contained in the example: PTR/B86345 Sabre command to designate hardcopy printer. PRINTER DESIGNATED IN AREA A Work area the hard copy printer is designated. W*2AB8634401716433/DD Sabre command to designate the print routine, ticket and/or boarding printer, and the station number.

GABTB86341 Shows Sabre format to designate bag tag printer- Go Assign Bag Tag BAG TAG PRINTER B86341 ASSIGNED Confirms which bag tag printer is assigned The printer numbers shown in the above examples are for training purposes only and should not be used for realtime transactions.
Save Printer Addresses

If you select the button Save values as defaults once you have designated your printers, the system will remember the printer addresses which you saved and redisplay them on subsequent CTRL P to designate the printers.
The Check-In Process

The purpose of the Check-in tab on the menu bar is to check-in passengers for a flight using different criteria such as: Passenger name Class of service Boardpoint only, and specific seat request Boardpoint and offpoint Future date within the check-in period Group code Different surnames and request specific seats By line numbers from a similar name list or passenger list Revenue standby passenger using alternate space
Features used during the check-in process

Seat Request
If you request a specific seat in the initial check-in, the seat characteristics (aisle or nonsmoking) are also requested for downline seat assignments. If you do not request a seat in the initial check-in, a generic seat is requested in the flight legs default seat zone. If you are checking in more than one passenger, all passengers must have the same type of seat request (all specific or all generic). If you are checking in a passenger with pre-reserved seats, the pre-reserved seat takes precedence over seat requests included in the initial check-in. If a requested seat cannot be accommodated, a seat map is displayed. You can request another seat, split the party, unblock and assign the original seat requested, or place the passenger on the priority list.
Boardpoint / Off point codes
Check thru to the passengers final destination. If you include the boardpoint and offpoint codes, the passenger is checked in to the specified destination only.
Passenger Edits
You can enter any passenger edit from a list of similar names, or from a passenger list display
Priority Classification Code
Priority classification is required when you are checking in positive space or non-revenue space available passengers. Otherwise, Sabre returns an error message and terminates the check-in. The maximum number of characters for priority code is five. You can indicate a thru (through) passenger by placing a T in the last character of the priority code. For example, D2T for a D2 through passenger The flights priority classification restrictions determine if a passenger is placed directly on the priority list or if seat assignment is first attempted and a boarding pass is issued If the positive space classification code is designated in the PNR, the classification may not change during the check-in process If the passenger holds alternate space, you must include the flight number of the original reservation in the check-in entry. This will update the PNR with the appropriate action at post-departure
Seniority Date
If your carrier chooses to require a seniority date for processing non-revenue passengers, a seniority date must be entered with the priority classification code. Use the following guidelines when entering the seniority date: o o o o Year only (YY). The month defaults to January and the day of the month defaults to one (1). Month, and Year (MMMYY). The day defaults to one (1). Date, Month, and Year (DDMMMYY) Length of Service (MMYY)
Upgrade
There are two ways to upgrade a passenger: o Upgrade a passengers class of service by inputting the flight number, current seat number and new class of service. If accommodation cannot be completed in the class requested, a seat map is displayed with an error message. You must then select a seat from the seat map The passenger can be placed on the priority list for an upgrade using a specific priority code that will be processed if the seat is available in the desired class of service
Frequent Traveler Number
A frequent traveler number may be entered as an edit code
Multiple Passengers
If you are checking in multiple passengers, the following guidelines are applicable: o o o All passengers must have the same flight destination and be in the same cabin All passengers must be eligible for accommodation, or all must be placed on the priority list All passengers must request either all generic or all specific seats
Placing Passengers on a Priority List
Passengers are placed on the priority list based on the booked or meal-listed class of service in their PNR, unless a change in the class of service is requested If the passenger is placed on the priority list for a boardpoint, no action is taken on other board points in the itinerary until they are accommodated If the boardpoint requires a standby boarding pass for security reasons, one is issued for the passenger If a specific seat is requested and the agent has the proper authority, an override of the seat blocks may be done You can check-in passengers as a group, even though booked separately, provided that the number of names entered or selected satisfies the number in party being checked-in.
NO REC Passenger
A passenger is defined as NO-REC when a booking record cannot be found for the flight they are checking in. You can place a NO-REC passenger on the priority list in by using the Create Record and Check-in command pop-up window.
Passenger Accommodation Process
The accommodation process includes determining the seat request, assigning a seat and/or placing the passenger on the priority list, issuing the boarding pass, and updating passenger counts and flight information. After completing the accommodation process at the boardpoint, validation and accommodation of the passengers next downline flight is processed. If the next downline flight is on another carrier with whom an EDIFACT agreement exists, EDIFACT is activated through check-in.
Boarding Pass Issuance and Information
When a passenger is checked in, seats are assigned and boarding passes are issued Each passenger can have single or multiple boarding passes Multiple boarding passes are issued when: o o There is a change of aircraft for the flight segment A change in seat assignment between flight legs is necessary
Passenger name, flight segment, and flight leg information are retrieved from the PNR If the flight is being checked in as open seating, no-seat-boarding passes are issued Information remarks appear on boarding passes and can contain one of the following items: Printed if the seat is on an exit row Printed on the boarding pass if the passenger is a thru passenger at the change of gauge city
EXIT CHG ACFT
CN Ck-In INF CHD
Printed any time a boarding pass is issued for a downline flight
The passenger information field on a boarding pass can contain one of the following items Printed if the passenger is traveling with an infant Printed if the boarding pass is for a child or for an unaccompanied minor
10
Baggage
There are three baggage options your carrier may select to use. The ASA (Airline Serving Airport) table for each airport specifies the default baggage requirement for that airport. You can change the option for a particular flight and date, but you must do so before any passenger checks in on that flight. Once checkin has begun on a flight, you may not change the baggage requirement. The options are: Pieces only P Pieces and Weight of checked bags PW Pieces and Weight of checked bags as well as Carry-on weight PWC
Based on your carriers default, the necessary options for baggage will automatically display when you check-in.
Note
The maximum number of bags checked per passenger is 10. Upon request for activation, you may increase the limit of bags per passenger to 99.
Excess Baggage
The Automated Excess Baggage mask pops up when the baggage you check-in exceeds the free baggage allowance, as determined by your airline. Upon collection of the excess baggage fee, check-in continues successfully. If your airline prefers that the check-in personnel not be involved in collection of fees, you can select to not use the Automated Excess Baggage mask. You may request activation of an alternative functionality that would trigger the system to send a prompt to alert the check-in agent when the passenger has gone over the free baggage allotment. The prompt will provide the agent the possibility to either verify the baggage amounts or to accept the amounts that have been entered. In the event that the amounts entered did exceed the free allotment, the passenger would need to show proof of payment before check-in can continue. This alternative functionality has the advantage of freeing the check-in personnel from collecting fees. For activation, please contact Customer Care.
11
Ticket Search at Time of Check-in

At time of check-in, ticket collection must occur whether paper or electronic tickets are involved. When the system is unable to locate a ticket for the passenger, the response depends upon the airlines settings: The system automatically issues a coupon required boarding pass. -OR If TKT Edit functionality is active for the airline, the system displays the following pop-up window:
Indicate the action you want to take. If you select Search for VCR, provide the ticket number if known. Contact the Sabre Reservations help desk for information on activating the TKT Edit functionality.
SSR Facts and SabreSonic Check-In airport check-in system
Carriers may choose to activate the ability to pass free text data from an SSR to the SabreSonic CheckIn airport check-in system as related data. Free text entered into a PNR with applicable SSR codes will be carried into SabreSonic Check-In, to be accessible on SabreSonic Check-In secondary passenger displays such as: List of SSR Codes List by Specific SSR Code List by Name Passenger Detail display
To activate this free text option, authorized airline personnel may contact Customer Care. The SabreSonic Check-In database will store free text data on SSR codes such as:
12
LANG - language MAAS - meet and assist MEDA - medical PETC - pet in cabin UMNR - unaccompanied minor WCHR - wheelchair (required for distance) WCHS - wheelchair (required for stairs) WCHC - wheelchair WCOB - onboard wheelchair needed
If a specific SSR code is passed to SabreSonic Check-In more than once with the same name and segment association, the text from the new item will overlay the text for the old item.

SabreSonic Check-In automatically adds the CHD (child) passenger edit if a CHLD SSR message exists in the PNR. However, the addition of a CHD edit does not place the SSR in the PNR. The edit code CHD is automatically applied to a passenger if the passenger name in the PNR has an associated SSR INFT OS (Infant Occupying Seat).

Add Passive Segment to a PNR for the Purpose of Checking Bags

There may be times when a passenger holds multiple reservations to travel from origin to destination. In one reservation the passenger is traveling on your airline, and in a separate reservation, he continues to his final destination on another airline. At the check-in counter at departure, the bag will check automatically to the destination that is in the first reservation. If you wish to check the bag to the final destination on the other carrier, you need to add a passive segment into the first reservation and then check-in the passenger with the bag. Your airline must have a baggage agreement with the other carrier for a successful through check of the baggage. Follow the steps below to add a passive segment to a reservation for the purpose of checking bags though.
1.
Display the original reservation or display the reservation from the passenger list and select Add under Itinerary
34
2.
Select Specific Flight
3.
Add the other airline flight details, with airline code, flight number, class of service, origin and destination and from the drop down menu of Select Sell Option, select the code HK.

To Meal List a non-revenue passenger for a flight, see the steps as described under Psgr Lists (Shift + F2), Name Not On List in this module.
Check-In Passengers with Connection Flight

When you check-in a connecting passenger, for example LAX-DEN-DFW, Interact attempts to assign the same seat on both legs of the travel. Should the same seat not be available on the second leg, the seat map for the connecting flight will display simultaneously with a Seat Not Available pop-up.
Select the seat on the connecting flight the Check-In Successful response will show for the connecting flight, while the boarding pass printer will print both boarding passes.
37
Check In Extra Seat or Cabin Baggage

A passenger has the choice to book an extra seat when traveling. The Extra seat can accommodate either an overweight person, or also act as a seat for a cabin baggage, such as a big music instrument or any other bulky article that does not belong in the regular baggage compartment. The reservation for the passenger and the Extra seat should show the SSR code EXST or CBBG associated to the extra seat or cabin baggage. At the airport, you need to add the corresponding gender to the Extra seat or cabin baggage. Select the extra seat from the passenger list and add the edit:
38
Select the edit Z and add it to the selected name on the passenger list. In the example below you have three passengers with the edit Z, indicating they are either EXST or CBBG.
Check the passenger and the accompanying EXST or CBBG as you would normally. At boarding time, you ON them as you would normally.
39
When you display the Passenger Counts, the EXST or CBBG will display under the column OTLD
Example response:

Gender Check-In
Check-in with Gender is an option that needs activation from Customer Care. If you use Gender Check-in, every check-in transaction requires the gender information about the traveler. The information will be passed to the weight and balance systems for correct load and weight management.
General Information about Gender Edits

Common titles added to the PNR such as Mr. Mstr. Sr. Jr. (male) and Mrs. Miss Ms. (female) will automatically update check-in. o
Title Brother Father Jr Madame Miss Mlle Mr Mrs Ms Mstr Sir Sister Sr Sra Srita
Other titles that translate to gender are:

Gender
M M M F F F M F F M M F M F F
Mandatory gender check-in requires activation. Gender edits are M (male), F (female), C (child), U (unknown), R (stretcher), and Z (extra seat or cabin baggage). You can add a missing gender edit before or during check-in. You cannot remove a gender that has already been applied to a passenger. You can only replace it with the correct one. The gender edit always displays as the first edit in the Edits column. Edits R and Z must come over from the PNR and cannot be added.
42
Checking-in, transferring, reaccommodating, offloading, onboarding, or offboarding of R or Z passengers must always be in the same transaction.
Note
SabreSonic Check-In Gender Check-in requires activation from Customer Care.

Auto Return check-in allows the issuance of a return boarding pass when the passengers return travel is within a pre-defined time and applies to F passenger types only (Full revenue). The itinerary may not include any OA space. It must be online flights only. The time value calculation will be based on the STA (Scheduled Time of Arrival) of the origin and the STD (Scheduled Time of Departure) of the return flight. The passenger can check baggage on the outbound flight. The system will issue the return boarding pass, but the baggage for the return needs to be checked-in at the return airport. Multiple name check-in is permitted, provided the same data is valid for all names being checked-in. Automatic Return Check-In does not process for a passenger traveling to or from an APP, AQQ country.

Standby (Shift + F6)

Use the Standby (Shift + F6) label for all activities related to Standby, such as Place a full revenue passenger on the standby list of another flight this functionality is also known as Alternate Space a passenger. Place an employee traveler on the standby list of your flight
You can access the Standby label from F3 Boarding, but also from F2 Check-In.
Overview
One of the benefits SabreSonic Check-In presents you is the Alternate Space functionality. Alternate Space indicates revenue passengers who are standing by for an earlier flight, or have missed their original flight and are standing by for the next flight on the same day. Once you have accommodated the passengers standing by for an earlier flight, the system automatically utilizes and updates the original PNR at End Transaction time.
Use the option Place on Standby from the label Standby for any Alternate Space activity.
1.
To begin, select Standby (Shift + F6).
The Standby window displays:
You can select from the following options:
114
Place on Standby List Display Complete Standby List Display Complete Standby List (with History) Display Unaccommodated Standby List
Each option will be discussed on the following pages.
Place On Standby
Access the Standby label with Shift + F6.
The first option is Place on Standby List. The airline code, the flight number, and the date of departure auto populate to the flight that you have dedicated your set to. When necessary, edit the flight number to the one you are working on.
Alternate Space Alternate Space Standby for a later flight

Scenario: the passenger has missed the original flight he was booked on and is asking to be put on standby for the next available flight of the day, going to the same destination.
Note
The illustrations below are for example purposes only.

115
Follow these steps to put the passenger on the standby list for the later flight.
1. 2.
Check that the later flight has seats available. Display passengers PNR the segment that was originally booked is gone since the flight has departed. Book a segment on the later flight, using the segment status code SB, then end PNR.
Example of itinerary display:
3.
Place the passenger on the standby list of the later flight.
116
4.
Fill out the Place on Standby window with class of service, passenger name, number in party, and priority code. Add baggage information as necessary.
5.
Once you select OK, the system will check the passenger in on the priority list of the later flight and issue a boarding pass with Standby status to allow the passenger to proceed through security and to the boarding gate.
117
Note
Should your airline request a fee for the change to later flight you can do so here.
Alternate Space - Standby for an earlier flight

Scenario: the passenger wishes to standby for an earlier flight than the one he has originally booked. Follow these steps to put the passenger on the standby list for the earlier flight.
1. 2.
Check that the earlier flight has seats available and is still in open status for check-in. Place the passenger on the standby list of the earlier flight.
118
3.
Fill in the necessary information in the Place on Standby window class of service, flight, name, number in party, priority code, and any baggage details. The most important part in this window is to enter the Original Flight number, i.e. the one the passenger is confirmed on.
4.
Upon selecting OK, the system will display the passenger list of the original flight.
119
5. 6.
Select the passenger from the list and select Check-in. The system puts the passenger on the priority list of the earlier flight.
7.
At the same time, the system has added the new flight segment into the PNR with the status code DS. After the flight has gone through Post Departure Control PDC the DS segment will drop out of the PNR if the passenger does not get accommodated on the earlier flight, and the reservation is intact. If the passenger did make the earlier flight, the DS segment will change into the status SB, and the system will cancel the original HK segment in the PNR.
120
Note
It is also possible to check-in a passenger for an earlier flight by using the Check-In mask <Shift + F1> under the Check-In F2 tab. See the module Check-in for more details for this method.
How ESV (Enhanced Synchronization of VCRs) works with a DS segment

When the system adds the DS segment to the PNR, it will cause the PNR to go out of sync and you would usually need to do an exchange to put the PNR back into sync. If your airline uses ESV, you have two options to work with. Option 1 Use the edit code IR (Irregular Operations) o If the DS segment is not in the ESV table as an exception rule, when the passengers original flight passenger list is displayed with that passengers name, you need to add the IR edit code to the passenger. Select the reason for the IR code and add it to the IR window. The IR edit will cause the system to ignore the PNR going out of sync and will allow you to check-in the passenger to the priority list of the earlier flight.
121
122
Option 2- Add the DS segment to the ESV table as an exception o If the DS segment is in the ESV table as an exception rule, then the system will automatically bypass the need for the IR edit code and check the passenger into the priority list of the earlier flight, and leave the VCR in sync.
Note
For more information on ESV please see the module SabreSonic Check-In tables and SabreSonic Check-In Enhanced Synchronized VCR.
DS segment No ESV
Without the possibility of an IR edit and the ESV exception table, the addition of the DS segment to a PNR will necessitate an exchange before you can proceed with checking the passenger in to the priority list of the earlier flight.
Placing Employee Travelers on the Standby List

When placing a revenue passenger or employee traveler, you must know the corresponding Priority code and add it to the Standby Place on Standby List window. Use these steps to place an employee traveler on the Standby List

Overview EDIFACT / EDIFACT Through Check-In (ETCI) What is EDIFACT?

EDIFACT is the acronym for = Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce, and Transportation EDIFACT communications are IATA-sanctioned, specifically formatted data transmissions between computer reservations systems. Airlines who have partnership with each other can exchange information electronically, using EDIFACT messages.
What is EDIFACT Through Check-in?

EDIFACT Through Check-In (or ETCI) is a product that allows you to interactively initiate check-in related functions in the Sabre system for a connecting flight on a partner airline, booked in the other airlines system. Agents of a partner airline can also interactively perform check-in related functions for connecting flights on your airline, while remaining in their system. Partner airlines can be Sabre or non Sabre carriers.

APIS Quick Query - AQQ

APIS Quick Query functionality applies only if your carrier operates flights into and out of the United States of America. AQQ provides interactive customer and flight information to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for security screening purposes. Upon successful certification with the DHS, your carrier can request activation of AQQ functionality. For full details on how AQQ works, consult the module U.S. Trans-Border Security.
188
Watchlist Clearance
There may be times you will get a system response upon checking in which says that the check-in is not permitted or inhibited. The reason is that behind the scenes, the system is matching the passengers name to names on the Watchlist . Please follow your airlines internal business processes when performing watchlist clearance.
A supervisor or agent with the EPR keyword SERCLR has the authority to clear the passenger from the watchlist.
Note
Should one person in a group PNR receive the watchlist response, you cannot check-in anybody else of the group until the watchlist clearance has been approved.
Below is a list of example system responses:

CHECK-IN INHIBITED CONTACT AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FOR VERIFICATION
CHECKIN NOT PERMITTED-CONTACT SUPVSR FOR VERIFICATION
CHECK-IN INHIBITED CONTACT AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FOR VERIFICATION
THROUGH CHECK-IN FAILED ON YY CHECK-IN INHIBITED CONTACT AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FOR VERIFICATION
Note
YY is the two-letter code of the airline
PASSENGER STATUS CONFLICT CHECKIN FAILED
The Watchlist check is performed not only at check-in, but also at Boarding time. This second check facilitates flagging a passenger whose name was added to the Watchlist after the initial successful check-in. If a passenger is placed on the Watchlist after having received a boarding pass, you will not be able to change the seat for that passenger. When any bag issuance or check-in results in the Inhibited response, a message is placed on queue RSXW. The person working the queue can remove the message manually.
Follow these steps to clear a passenger from the Watchlist.

Note
Your EPR must have the keyword SERCLR. Highlight passenger from passenger list From the menu under Tools, select Watchlist
