Field Description

Fare Class/Family

  • This is an editable field that is not required and defaults to blank when the screen is first opened.

  • You can type up to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be an alpha.

  • User defined groups (UDGs) may be employed in this field. Click the Fare Class field label to select or create a UDG using the UDG dialog box.

  • Fare families may be typed. For example, type F- to find fare classes that begin with the letter F.

  • This field may be used to exclude a specific fare class or a group of fare classes (using user defined groups).

  • Multiple single entries of fare classes, UDGs, or a combination of fare classes and UDGs may be coded in this field. Entries must be separated by a comma (for example, F, Y, +first class fares, J).

  • This field allows for a maximum of 255 characters.

 

Fare Family Positional Match
 
You can match to a fare family where the alphanumeric characters listed are in specific positions. A symbol is used to match to a designated position of one or more alphanumeric characters within the fare class. Additional alphanumeric characters may or may not follow the designated alphanumeric characters. 
 
Option 1 – Whole Number 
 
Exclamation point (!) 
Numbers are applied as a single unit and will be treated as a whole number in the match process. 
 
Example: W!!M1! will match W21M1A or W2AM1B7 but will not match W21M17 or W2AM17B (‘W’ must be in position 1, ‘M’ must be in position 4, ‘1’ must be position 5. ‘1’ must remain a whole number; therefore, position 6 must be an alpha character). Having the ‘7’ in position 6 changes the ‘1’ to ‘17’.   
 
Option 2 – Position Only 
 
Ampersand (&) 
Numbers are matched as individual characters, each based on its position. 
 
Example: W&&M1& will match W21M1A, W2AM1B7, W21M17, or W2AM17B but will not match W21MA1 or W2AMB1 (‘W’ must be in position 1, ‘M’ must be in position 4, ‘1’ must be position 5. ‘1’ does not have to remain a whole number; therefore, position 6 may be an alpha or numeric character). Having the ‘7’ in position 6 does not impact the ‘1’ in position 5, each are matched individually.
