Amadeus FXP Command: Price Itinerary & Create TST

A complete guide to the FXP command in Amadeus — how to price an itinerary and create a TST, with options for segments, passengers, fare types, discounts, currencies, validating carriers, taxes, and fare basis.

Once an itinerary is booked, the next step is to price it and store the result so the ticket can be issued. The FXP command is the standard Amadeus entry for this. It prices the itinerary according to the requested options and creates a Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) — the record that holds the fare, taxes, fare basis, and other ticket data used for issuance. FXP is far more than a simple pricing entry: with the right options, you can control which passengers and segments are priced, apply discounts, specify a validating carrier, override currency, force a fare basis, withhold or exempt taxes, and much more. This guide walks through the major FXP options with working examples.

What Does the FXP Command Do?

FXP is the Amadeus GDS command used to price the itinerary and create a TST (Transitional Stored Ticket).

Category: Informative Pricing.

The FXP command prices an itinerary according to the requested options, such as specific segments, passengers, fare types, discounts, currencies, validating carriers, taxes, and fare basis. Once the pricing is confirmed, the resulting TST is stored in the PNR and can be reviewed with TQT or TQTC before ticketing with TTP.

When to Use FXP

Use FXP when you need to price a booked itinerary and create a TST. It can also be combined with pricing options to control the passenger, segments, fare family, discounts, taxes, currency, validating carrier, fare basis, and other pricing conditions. Typical scenarios include:

Standard pricing of a booked itinerary before ticketing.
Pricing only specific segments or passengers in a multi-passenger PNR.
Applying child, infant, youth, or senior discounts.
Using a corporate code or unpublished fare for a business booking.
Specifying a validating carrier that differs from the first segment carrier.
Overriding currency or forcing a specific fare basis.
Withholding or exempting taxes for special fare conditions.
Controlling fare breakpoints and routing when multiple options apply.

How FXP Fits Into Your Pricing Workflow

A typical pricing session using FXP might look like this:

Retrieve the PNR and confirm the itinerary is complete.
Enter FXP with the appropriate options for the pricing you need.
Review the stored TST with TQT or TQTC.
Correct any fare, tax, or fare basis elements with TTK or TTI if needed.
Clear the PNR change flag with TTF if the TST was modified.
Add form of payment with FP, then issue with TTP.

How FXP Relates to Other Pricing Commands

FXP → prices the itinerary as booked and stores the TST.
FXX → prices the itinerary without storing a TST.
FXB → lowest-fare pricing with automatic rebooking and TST storage.
FXR → lowest-fare pricing with automatic rebooking but no TST stored.
FXA → lists lower applicable fares without rebooking or pricing.
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.
FQP → creates a fare quote based on specified criteria.

FXP is the standard pricing command for a booked itinerary. FXX and FXR inform without storing; FXB and FXO commit and store.
