Destination Open Jaw or Origin Open Jaw or Double Open Jaw
Application of fare directionality
In general, we take the direction of travel. Except on fare components that go back to the country of origin of a previous pricing unit, in which case, it must be reversed
Fro whom did we implement Dual RBDs
SWA
How does Dual RBDs work
For each FF:
- one single primary RBD
For all RBDs:
- the remaining letters are used as secondary RBDs to define the different price levels
Avl:
- avl of primary gives avl of FF
- closing a secondary RBD closes the level for all FFs
Options to file fares in Ludwig

- From SITA
- By XML upload to FareXpert (but then we can’t push to ATPCo)
