For Air Fares and Ticketing or Principles of Reservations courses in two year and proprietary schools.

Air Fares and Ticketing, Third Edition represents a major revision and expansion of Airline Tariffs and Ticketing, designed to help the serious student of travel agency skills learn how to determine air fares and write tickets.

• focuses primarily on domestic air, but also covers international air ticketing and writing Amtrak rail tickets on airline ticket stock, a practice permissable since September 1985.

• corresponds to instructions contained in the October 1993 Airlines Reporting Corporation's ARC Industry Agent's Handbook.

• includes flight information as shown on CRS screens as well as in the Official Airline Guide.

  • intentionally mixes examples of handwritten and computer tickets throughout the text, emphasizing the importance of what is on a ticket and the ability to write one when the computer is down.

  • displays examples of computer printouts drawn from Sabre and Apollo computer reservation systems, since tariffs and rules contained in airline computer systems are the primary source of fare information in today's travel agency.
