How to Use the GDS Farebase Generator
The generator follows a simple four-step workflow:
- Copy the ticket display from your GDS. Use
TWD/TKTin Amadeus,*TE/in Galileo, orWETRin Sabre. The tool detects which GDS the data came from automatically. - Paste the entire display into the input field. Include the full output — the header lines, the fare calculation, the tax breakdown, and the form of payment section. The tool uses all of it.
- Click Process. The tool parses the display and generates a structured farebase and breakdown.
- Copy the result. The output is formatted for each GDS so you can use it directly in client quotes, invoices, back-office systems, or exchange calculations.
Supported GDS Ticket Display Commands
Each GDS has its own command to display ticket information. The generator accepts data from all three:
Simply copy the output of any of these commands and paste it into the generator — the tool will parse the fare data and return a structured farebase in the correct format for each GDS.
When You’d Use This Tool
These are the four most common scenarios where a farebase generator saves time and prevents errors:
- Processing an exchange or reissue. You need to decode the original farebase to find the applicable change penalty and calculate the difference. The generator gives you the farebase and conditions instantly.
- Responding to a refund request. Before quoting a refund amount, you must know exactly which taxes are refundable, what the fare rules say, and whether the fare itself can be returned. The generator surfaces all of this from the ticket display.
- Preparing a client quote or invoice. Instead of manually translating ticket data into a client-friendly format, paste the display and copy the structured output.
- Handling an ADM (Agency Debit Memo). When an airline queries a fare calculation, you need to show the exact farebase and breakdown. The generator produces a clean record you can attach to your response.
What Is a Farebase?
A farebase (also written as fare basis code) is an alphanumeric code that identifies the exact fare rule applied to an airline ticket. It combines a letter (the booking class, such as Y, B, M, K) with a series of characters that describe the fare type — for example, YFLEX, MLOW, or BHX3M.
The farebase is essential because it tells you:
- Whether the ticket is refundable or non-refundable
- The change penalty and cancellation fees that apply
- Whether the ticket allows upgrades or date changes
- The baggage allowance and other fare conditions
- The validity period of the fare
Why Travel Agents Need a Farebase Generator
Every day, travel agents deal with tickets, exchanges, and refunds. Manually decoding a farebase from a GDS ticket display is time-consuming and prone to error. A farebase generator:
- Saves time — converts ticket data in seconds instead of minutes
- Reduces errors — eliminates mistakes when reading complex ticket fields
- Speeds up refunds — instantly shows applicable penalties and conditions
- Improves client service — accurate fare quotes and breakdowns
- Prevents ADMs — avoids Agency Debit Memos from incorrect fare interpretation
