The ATC Reissue process in Amadeus is rarely a one-size-fits-all operation. Some reissues involve all passengers, others only one. Some need specific segments repriced, others require a particular passenger type code. Some exchanges must be linked to an exact ticket number. The Amadeus FXQ command is designed for this level of control. It performs confirmed pricing with TST creation during the ATC Reissue process, and it accepts a wide range of options so you can target exactly the passengers, segments, and fare parameters involved.
What Does the Amadeus FXQ Command Do?
FXQ is used in the Amadeus ATC Reissue process for confirmed pricing with TST creation.
You can add options to select passengers, segments, passenger types, fare parameters, or the ticket to be exchanged โ making the Amadeus FXQ command one of the most flexible reissue pricing entries in the system.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Passenger Association
When only part of a party is being reissued, the Amadeus FXQ command accepts a passenger list so the pricing applies only to the travellers affected by the exchange.
Price passengers 1 through 3 and passenger 5:
FXQ/P1-3,5Performs confirmed pricing for passengers 1 through 3 and passenger 5. Use this when only part of the party is being reissued.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Segment Selection
Reissues often affect only certain legs of the itinerary. The Amadeus FXQ command accepts segment numbers so you can reprice only what has changed.
Price segments 4, 5, and 7:
FXQ/S4-5,7Performs pricing for segments 4, 5, and 7. Essential when only part of the itinerary is affected by the change.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Specific Passenger Type Code
When the party includes multiple passenger types, the Amadeus FXQ command lets you price each type separately using its PTC.
Price using only the specified Passenger Type Code:
FXQ/RSEA,*PTCPrices using only the specified Passenger Type Code (PTC) โ for example ADT, CHD, or INF โ so each traveller type is priced with the correct fare category.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Expanded Parameters
The Amadeus FXQ command accepts expanded pricing parameters, letting you restrict the search by fare conditions such as refundability or published fare type.
Add expanded pricing parameters for refundable fares:
FXQ/R,*RFAdds expanded pricing parameters for refundable fares โ useful when the reissue requires a fully refundable fare category.
Price using both public fares and Unifares:
FXQ/R,UPPrices using both public fares and Unifares, essential when the itinerary includes carriers or routes where Unifares apply.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Ticket Line Number Selection
In group or multi-passenger PNRs, several tickets may need to be linked to the same segment pricing. The Amadeus FXQ command accepts ticket line ranges.
Price segment 5 using tickets on lines 15 through 20:
FXQ/S5/T15-20Prices segment 5 using tickets on lines 15 through 20 for multiple passengers. Useful in group or multi-passenger PNRs where several tickets need to be linked to the same segment pricing.
Amadeus FXQ Command โ Exchange by Ticket Number
Associating the ticket to be exchanged with the correct passenger is the most precise form of the Amadeus FXQ command. This is the standard way to handle individual ticket exchanges in a multi-passenger PNR.
Associate a ticket with a specific passenger for exchange:
FXQ/TKT172-1234567890/P1Uses ticket 172-1234567890 for exchange and associates it with passenger 1.
For an infant passenger:
FXQ/TKT172-1234567890/P2/INFUses ticket 172-1234567890 for exchange and associates it with an infant passenger. The /INF indicator ensures the correct passenger type is applied.

- Reissuing only some passengers in a multi-passenger PNR.
- Pricing specific segments affected by the change.
- Applying a particular Passenger Type Code for adults, children, or infants.
- Restricting the fare search to refundable fares or including Unifares.

How It Fits Into Your ATC Reissue Workflow
A typical ATC Reissue session using the Amadeus FXQ command might look like this:
- Retrieve the PNR and confirm the itinerary and tickets affected.
- Identify the passengers, segments, and tickets involved in the exchange.
- Enter
FXQwith the appropriate options for the reissue. - Review the newly created TST with TQT or TQTC.
- Correct any fare, tax, or fare basis elements with
TTKorTTIif needed. - Add form of payment with FP, then issue with
TTP.
How the Amadeus FXQ Command Relates to Other ATC Reissue Commands
The Amadeus FXQ command is part of the ATC Reissue toolkit in Amadeus. Here is how it relates to the others:
- FXE โ informative pricing for the ATC reissue process โ no TST created.
- FXF โ informative pricing variant for ATC reissue.
- FXO โ confirmed pricing for ATC reissue โ creates a TST.
- FXQ โ confirmed pricing for ATC reissue with expanded options โ creates a TST.
- FXP โ standard pricing of a booked itinerary with TST creation.
- FXX โ prices the itinerary without storing a TST.
The key distinction: FXE informs without creating a TST; FXO and the Amadeus FXQ command commit and create a TST. Use FXE first for a no-commitment preview, then confirm with FXQ once the reissue details are clear.
Important โ Passenger Association Is Mandatory
When using a ticket number with the Amadeus FXQ command, the passenger association is mandatory. The system must know which traveller the exchanged ticket belongs to, or the entry will be rejected.
For infant passengers, always include /INF after the passenger reference โ for example FXQ/TKT172-1234567890/P2/INF. Omitting the indicator can result in the wrong fare category being applied.
