How to add PNR remarks in Amadeus: Amadeus PNR (Passenger Name Record) Remark is a feature in the Amadeus Global Distribution System (GDS) that allows travel agents to add additional information or comments to a passenger’s booking. This information can be related to the passenger’s special requests, such as meal preferences, seat requests, or any other special requirements.
The PNR remark can be added to the passenger’s reservation by using a special code or command in the Amadeus GDS. This remark is then stored in the passenger’s booking and can be accessed by anyone who has access to the reservation, including the travel agent, airline staff, and other travel service providers.
The PNR remark is an important tool for travel agents as it helps them provide personalized service to their clients and ensures that their special requests are taken care of. It also helps airlines and other travel service providers to better understand the needs of the passenger and provide a more satisfactory travel experience.
Command To Add PNR remarks in Amadeus
How to add PNR remarks in Amadeus: Additional remarks or details on travelers and their reservations are contained in a PNR remark.
There are 5 categories of comments:
RX – Corporate remarks
How to add PNR remarks in Amadeus: Corporations can exchange notes using corporate remarks without needing to indicate which offices can view them.
The corporate remark may only be viewed by offices that have an Amadeus Extended Ownership Agreement (EOS) with the office that made it. The EOS ID FRX is used to handle this agreement.
Use the RX transaction code to produce a corporate remark as demonstrated in the example below:
RX PAX INFORMED CHANGE OF TERMINAL AT CDG
The system applies the remark to all names and air segments in the PNR if you do not provide a passenger or segment association in your submission.
Use passenger or segment association to denote that a comment is intended for certain passengers or segments.
For example: RX PAX INFORMED CHANGE OF TERMINAL AT CDG/S4/P1
Remarks can only be linked to AIR parts, please note.
- A PNR can include 127 corporate remarks with a maximum character count of 126.
The following is how the remark element looks when the PNR is retrieved by an office other than the one that authored the comment or by an office without an EOS agreement with the originating office: RX REGULATED
