Amadeus ACR Command: Redisplay Availability

A complete guide to the ACR command in Amadeus — how to quickly redisplay availability for the same or a different date, with options to change the time or use a 7-day search.

Availability searches are the backbone of every booking session. Agents open an availability display, review the flights, discuss options with the customer, and then frequently need to see the same search again for a different date or time. Retyping the full availability entry each time is slow and error-prone. The ACR command solves this problem. It allows you to quickly return to an availability display while changing the date, time, or search period — reusing the route, class, and airline preferences from your previous search. This guide walks through each ACR variation with a working example and explains when to use it.

What Does the ACR Command Do?

ACR is the Amadeus GDS command used to redisplay availability for the same or a different date.

Category: Availability.

It allows you to quickly return to an availability display while changing the date, time, or search period.

The ACR command is a time-saving tool. Rather than opening a completely new availability search, ACR reuses the parameters of the current display and lets you adjust just the date or time. This keeps your workflow fast, especially when a customer is comparing several travel dates. Once you have identified the flight, sell it with SS.

Redisplay Availability for the Same Date

Returns the availability display for the same date:

ACR

This refreshes the current availability display. Use it after scrolling through options, when you have moved away from the availability screen, or when you want to confirm the search results before continuing.

Redisplay Availability for a Different Date

Returns availability for 25 June:

ACR25JUN

This displays the same route and search criteria for 25 June. It is the fastest way to check availability on a different date without retyping the full search. Use it when a customer is comparing travel days or when the original date is not available.

Redisplay Availability for a Specific Number of Days

Returns availability 6 days from the date in the current display:

ACR6

This displays availability six days forward from the current search date. It is useful when you need a quick forward-looking comparison — for example checking whether a specific flight operates the same way later in the week.

Redisplay Availability for a Specific Date & Time

Returns availability for 23 May at 18:00:

ACR23MAY1800

This displays availability for 23 May starting at approximately 18:00. Use the date and time format when the customer is looking for flights in a specific window — for example an evening departure after a business meeting.

7-Day Search

Returns availability with the 7-day search option, starting from 13 October:

ACR/13OCT

This displays availability across a seven-day window starting from 13 October. The 7-day search is useful when the customer is flexible on dates and wants to see the best options across a week — common for leisure travel, family holidays, and flexible business trips.

When to Use ACR

Use ACR when you want to quickly return to an availability display while keeping the current search and changing the date or time. Typical scenarios include:

Comparing availability across several travel dates.
Moving to the next day or week when the original date is full.
Checking availability in a specific time window after a business meeting.
Returning to the availability display after leaving it for another screen.
Using a 7-day search when the customer is flexible on dates.
Reviewing availability again before booking a flight.
Confirming whether a flight operates consistently on future dates.

How ACR Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow

A typical availability session using ACR might look like this:

Open availability for the customer’s preferred route and date.
Review the flight options with the customer.
Enter ACR25JUN to display the same search for a different date, or ACR/13OCT for a 7-day view.
Compare options across dates and choose the best flight.
Check the flight details with DO if needed.
Sell the chosen flight with SS.
Check the connection time with DM if the itinerary includes a transfer.

How ACR Relates to Other Availability and Schedule Commands

ACR → redisplays availability for the same or a different date.
SS → sells confirmed flight segments from availability.
DO → displays detailed flight information for a specific flight.
TN → displays flight timetables between two cities.
SN → displays flight schedules between two cities.
DM → displays the minimum connecting time for a connection.
RTIM → displays the full itinerary with married segment indicators.

The distinction matters: ACR reuses your current search and changes the date or time; TN and SN show what operates on a route without availability; SS sells the segment once you have chosen the flight.

Important: ACR reuses the current search parameters. If the previous availability display has been replaced by another screen — for example a PNR, a timetable, or a schedule — ACR may not return the expected results, because there is no current availability display to redisplay.

Availability shown by ACR is current at the time of display. Seat availability can change within minutes. Confirm the flight with DO and sell the segment promptly with SS if the customer confirms.

Conclusion

The ACR command is the availability redisplay tool in Amadeus. Use ACR to refresh the current display, ACR25JUN or ACR6 to move to a different date or a specific number of days forward, ACR23MAY1800 for a specific date and time, and ACR/13OCT for a 7-day search. It saves time by reusing your existing search parameters, which keeps the booking workflow fast when customers compare several dates or need to adjust their plans. Because availability changes quickly, always confirm the flight with DO and sell the segment promptly with SS once the customer agrees. Paired with TN and SN for timetable and schedule research, DM for connecting times, and RTIM for itinerary review, the ACR command completes your availability toolkit and keeps every search quick, consistent, and accurate.
