28
Frequently Asked Questions

• Q In some cases, why does Sabre still show the
  ISI code?
• A Our hosted carriers expressed some concern
  that the reissue process could be greatly
  impacted if Sabre no longer printed the ISI code
  on the tickets.
• For certain ISI sensitive Minimum Fare Check
  (such as DMC, COP), even the initial ticketing
  happens on/after 15JAN05, the airline agent must
  know what the original ISI code to correctly
  apply such check in the reissued ticket
• When ticket was originally issued and travel
  commenced before 15JAN05, if the ticket has been
  reissued several times, but the original Minimum
  Fare rules still apply (if all reissues were done
  to partially used ticket), of which the
  application differs based on the SI or SO
  conditions.
• Therefore, host carriers requested Sabre to
  continue print the ISI code on the ticket but not
  necessarily in fare calculation area.
• For example a ticket MNL - BKK - HKG - SEL, in
  HKG, passenger request re-route the HKGSEL to HKG
  - OSA - SEL without the ISI printed on the
  ticket, the airline that perform such reissue may
  not know whether they need to charge a DMC
  (applies only if the original traffic document is
  issued outside the nation where travel commences.
