The Amadeus FQD command — known as Fare Display — shows all published fares between two cities for a given date or date range. Unlike FQP which prices a full itinerary, FQD works on a single origin/destination pair and is the fastest way to browse every published fare on that route. This free FQD builder generates the exact cryptic command in seconds.

What is the Amadeus FQD Command?

FQD stands for Fare Display. It displays all fares published for a city pair — including common (YY) fares, airline-specific fares, and negotiated fares — along with fare basis codes, travel dates, advance purchase requirements and applicable taxes. FQD never touches the PNR and is completely non-invasive.

Travel agents use FQD to:

Compare published fares across multiple airlines on a route
Check available booking classes and fare basis codes
Verify advance purchase and travel date restrictions
Find the lowest fares using the Shoppers Guide
Check historical fares (up to 11 months in the past)
Reproduce fares for manual reissue and refund calculations

Pro tip: Combine /S (Shoppers Guide) with your city pair to display all airlines sorted from lowest to highest fare — the fastest way to find the cheapest option.

FQD vs FQP — What is the Difference?

Command	Purpose	Input
`FQD`	Fare Display — lists all published fares	Single city pair
`FQP`	Informative Pricing — prices a full itinerary	Multi-segment route
`FQK1`	Breaks down fare + taxes on line 1	After an FQD
`FQN`	Negotiated fare display	City pair or itinerary

Use FQD when you want to browse what's available. Use FQP when you already have an itinerary and want a total quote.
