Dear colleagues,
Please be advised that starting from June 03, 2024 a software development of Not Valid Before \ Not Valid After completion algorithm update when issuing a ticket in compliance with IATA PSCRM Res. 722 TICKET - GENERAL PROCEDURES AND DEFINITIONS, chapter 6 и 7 will be implemented on MXV production system.
6. NOT VALID BEFORE
When applicable, the earliest return date (day and month) shall be reflected for each flight coupon. Exception: Where tariff rules prohibit voluntary reservation changes, or where such changes are only permissible against additional payment, the date to be reflected shall be the same as the reservation date reflected on the same coupon.
7. NOT VALID AFTER
When a ticket has a normal one-year validity and is not issued in conjunction or in exchange for another ticket, no date is required. In all other cases, the expiry date (day and month) shall be used.
Exception 1: Where tariff rules prohibit voluntary reservation changes, or where such changes are only permissible against additional payment, the date to be reflected shall be the same as the reservation date reflected on the same coupon.
Exception 2: When a ticket is reissued under the provisions of Resolution 735d, the original NVA date may be used or it may be left blank.
If upon filing the airline specifies minimum and maximum stay restriction reflecting the ticket validity, but Cat 16 permits or prohibits chargeable or free of charge change, then the following procedures for Not Valid Before\ Not Valid After field completion will apply:
Where tariff rules prohibit ticket changes, or where such changes are only permissible against additional payment according to Cat 16 enter the flight dates in NVB/NVA fields. For other fares – complete as per Cat 6/7 fare application data or leave blank (fields are left blank in case of absence of Cat 6/7 data).
If Cat 16 is not completed or not formalized then the parameters reflecting ticket validity depending on tariff type code (system reference data) will be analyzed.
Not reflected/ P=Permited - NVB/NVA to be completed as per Cat 6/7.
Reflected /R=Required - NVB/NVA are reflected by the flight dates of the corresponding coupons.
Blank/ N=Not Permited - NVB/NVA fields are left blank.
Kindly note the above-mentioned changes and update the filing parameters accordingly.
Kind regards,
