OKie…
Before we learn about AMADEUS system, I wanna share with you what AMADEUS is about. AMADEUS is one of the global distrubution system which provide travel information and guides to travel agents, hotels, cruises, tour operators and many destination management companies. AMADEUS is also the leading and largest booking system in the tourism industry among the others (which are ABACUS, GALILEO, and SABRE). So, now we start from the very basic terms.
Let say, you are the tour consultant and you receive a call from customer, “Yes, I like to know whether there is availibility seat on 11, September 2009 from Singapore to Bangkok ?”. Knowing nothing about the AMADEUS system, it is really hard to find the correct fare and availibility of the airlines’ seat.
The question obviously mention that we need to know the availitity of seat on 11, September 2009 from Singapore to Bangkok. First you need to know the code of the airlines and cities. You may be able to find it by googling, you don’t actually need to know the code of AMADEUS system to find the code of airlines and airports/cities codes.
Here is the code to check the availitity of seat with SilkAir on 11, September 2009 from Singapore to Bangkok…
