This is great, does anybody know though what the types of tickets mean when you see the number of PAD&#39;s listed already for a flight? They show PAD&#39;s listed with S, R, B, and N tickets. Which category would an OAL employee fall under? I&#39;m also assuming that PAD would stand for standby passengers...


*EDIT

After playing around with the AF listings, my AS OAL listing would be an N2 ticket, at the bottom of the order unsurprisingly. But good to know.[/b]


IATA RECOMMENDATION FOR STAFF TICKETS:

S MEANS COMPANY BUSINESS OWN AIRLINE
R MEANS VACATION PASS OWN AIRLINE
B MEANS COMPANY BUSINESS OTHER AIRLINES
N MEANS VACATION PASS OTHER AIRLINES

For example: if I (iberia staff member) list on the air france web, I fall down on N classification.
If an air france employee use his tickets for non reving for pleasure, they are R.
In my airline the system creates an OSI which is in the PRN that classifies each one as their pass type is ussing. Standby, waitlist, and inventory is classified according the OSI, so unless the agent manipulates the template when checking-in, it automatically classifies the passenger at the proper place. as an example:

If someone usses an ID00R2, means that pays nothing, vacation, seat availability.
If someone usses an ID92R2, means discount of 92%, vacation, seat availability.
If someone from other airline wants a confirmed ticket for duty travel, it will be: ID50B1, which means 50%off, other airline company business, confirmed ticket (not standby).
If Iberia wants me to go somewhere for something, they issue me ID00S1, which means nothing to pay, company business own carrier, confirmed ticket (not standby).

Hope it helps.
