Amadeus FXX command pricing guide for travel agents

Price Itineraries Without Storing a TST

A complete guide to the Amadeus FXX command — how to price an itinerary without storing a TST and check the fare before committing to it.

Not every pricing step should be committed. Sometimes you want to see what the system calculates for an itinerary before deciding whether to store the result, adjust the flights, or make changes to the booking. The Amadeus FXX command is designed for exactly this. It prices the itinerary and displays the result but does not create or store a Transitional Stored Ticket — leaving the PNR unchanged. This makes it an informative pricing tool rather than a confirmed one. This guide explains what FXX does, the syntax for each variation, and when it should be used in your pricing workflow.

What Does FXX Do?

FXX is the Amadeus GDS command used to price an itinerary without storing a TST (Transitional Stored Ticket).

Category: Informative Pricing.

The command calculates the applicable fare for the itinerary and displays the pricing result, but does not create or store a TST. It is useful when you want to check the fare before storing the pricing.

Because no TST is created, the PNR remains exactly as it was before the entry. You can run FXX multiple times, change the itinerary, and check the fare again without any cleanup. When you are satisfied with the result, switch to FXP to create the TST.

Syntax & Examples

FXX accepts several qualifiers to target specific parts of the PNR. Here are the three most common variations:

Price the Complete Itinerary

Without creating a TST:

FXX

Price a Specific Segment

Price segment 3 only:

FXX/S3

Useful when you want to check a specific part of the journey without pricing the whole itinerary.

Price a Specific Passenger

Price passenger 2 only:

FXX/P2

Useful in multi-passenger PNRs where each traveller may need a different fare treatment.

When to Use This Pricing Entry

Use it when you need to check or recalculate an itinerary fare without creating a TST. It is especially useful for fare verification before using FXP to store the final pricing. Typical scenarios include:

Quoting an itinerary before the customer confirms the booking.
Checking the fare after changing flights, dates, or routing.
Comparing fares across alternative itineraries without committing to either.
Verifying a specific segment or passenger fare without pricing the whole PNR.
Troubleshooting a pricing issue before storing the TST with FXP.
Estimating the fare when a formal quote is not yet required.

How It Fits Into Your Pricing Workflow

A typical pricing session using this command might look like this:

Retrieve the PNR and confirm the itinerary is complete.
Enter FXX to price the whole itinerary without creating a TST.
Use FXX/S3 or FXX/P2 for segment or passenger-specific pricing.
Review the pricing result — fare, taxes, and total.
If the result is acceptable, run FXP to price and store the TST.
Review the TST with TQT and issue the ticket with TTP once everything is correct.

FXX vs Other Pricing Commands

The FXX entry is one of several pricing commands in Amadeus. Here is how it relates to the others:

Command	What It Does
`FXX`	Prices the itinerary without storing a TST
`FXP`	Prices the itinerary and creates a TST
`FXR`	Reprices an existing itinerary
`FXA`	Lists lower applicable fares for the itinerary
`FXL`	Displays the lowest possible fare regardless of availability
`FXE / FXF`	Informative pricing for the ATC reissue process
`FXO / FXQ`	Confirmed pricing with TST creation for ATC reissue

The key distinction: FXX informs, while FXP confirms and stores. Use FXX first, then move to FXP when you are ready to commit.

💡 Pro Tip: Because this entry does not create a TST, there is nothing to delete or clear afterwards. This makes it the safest choice when running multiple pricing checks or when the itinerary is still being adjusted.

Always review the pricing result carefully before switching to FXP — once the TST is stored, changes require additional steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FXX do?

It prices an itinerary and displays the result but does not create or store a TST.

Does FXX change the PNR?

No. It is informative only. No TST is created and the PNR remains exactly as it was before the entry.

What is the difference between FXX and FXP?

FXX prices the itinerary without storing a TST. FXP prices the itinerary and creates the TST for ticketing.

Can I price a single segment or passenger?

Yes. Use FXX/S3 for a specific segment or FXX/P2 for a specific passenger.

Conclusion

FXX is the safe, informative pricing tool in Amadeus. Use FXX to price the complete itinerary without creating a TST, FXX/S3 for a specific segment, or FXX/P2 for a specific passenger. It is the ideal way to check fares before committing, especially when the itinerary is still being adjusted or when a quote is requested without a formal booking. When the result is acceptable, switch to FXP to price and store the TST, then review with TQT and issue with TTP once everything is correct. Paired with FQD, FQN, FXR, and FXA, it completes your pricing toolkit and ensures every fare decision is based on an accurate, no-commitment check.
