Amadeus MT Command: Move Screen to Top

A complete guide to the MT command in Amadeus — how to move the screen display directly to the top of long information.

Long Amadeus displays can run far past a single screen. Availability lists with dozens of flights, schedules covering multiple days, queue listings, and detailed PNRs all extend beyond what fits in one view. Once you have scrolled down through them, you often need to return to the beginning — to re-check the first flight of the day, to see the header information, or simply to start reviewing the display from the top again. The MT command is the Amadeus entry that handles this. It moves the displayed screen directly to the top of the current information in a single entry. This guide explains what MT does, its syntax, and when it should be used.

What Does the MT Command Do?

MT is the Amadeus GDS command used to move the screen display to the top.

Category: Screen Navigation.

It moves the displayed screen directly to the top of the current information.

Unlike MUN, which moves the screen up by a specific number of lines, MT jumps to the very start of the display in one step. It is a purely navigational command — it does not retrieve data, run a new search, or modify the PNR. It simply repositions the visible area so you are looking at the first lines of the current display.

Syntax

Enter the command on its own:

MT

This moves the display to the top of the current screen, bringing the first lines of the information into view immediately.

When to Use MT

Use MT when you want to quickly return to the top of a long Amadeus display. Typical scenarios include:

Returning to the first flights of the day after reviewing a long availability list.
Going back to the header information at the top of a schedule or timetable.
Restarting your review of a queue listing or long report from the beginning.
Checking the top of a detailed PNR or history display.
Comparing the last entries in the display against the first ones.
Starting a full review over again after scrolling through the whole display.
Verifying the search parameters shown at the top of the availability screen.

How MT Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow

A typical session using MT might look like this:

Open a long availability display with AN or a schedule with SN.
Scroll down through the results, reviewing the flights.
Enter MB to jump to the bottom of the display if you want to see the last entries first.
Enter MT to jump back to the top of the display.
Re-review the first flights and choose the option that fits the customer.
Sell the chosen segment with SS.
If the screen has been cleared, use MP to redisplay it.

How MT Relates to Other Screen Navigation Commands

MT → moves the screen display directly to the top.
MB → moves the screen display directly to the bottom.
MUN → moves the screen up by a specific number of lines.
MDN → moves the screen down by a specific number of lines.
MU → moves the screen up by the default amount.
MD → moves the screen down by the default amount.
MP → redisplays a screen that has been cleared.
ACR → redisplays availability for the same or a different date.

The distinction matters: MT jumps to the top of the display in one step; MB jumps to the bottom; MUN and MDN scroll by a specified number of lines; MP restores a cleared screen. Use MT when you want to return to the beginning quickly, and MUN when you need precise upward movement.

Important: MT is purely a screen-navigation command. It does not re-run a search, re-retrieve a PNR, or modify the data on display — it simply repositions the visible area so you are looking at the first lines of the current screen.

If the display has been replaced by another request — for example a new availability search or a PNR retrieval — MT will move to the top of the current screen, not the previous one. Re-enter the original request if you need to bring back that data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MT command do in Amadeus?

MT moves the displayed screen directly to the top of the current information, in a single entry.

Does MT retrieve new data?

No. MT is a screen navigation command only. It moves the visible area to the top of the current display without retrieving or modifying anything.

How is MT different from MUN?

MUN moves the screen up by a specific number of lines, for precise scrolling. MT jumps directly to the top of the display in one step.

How do I move to the bottom of the display instead?

Use the corresponding command MB to move the screen display directly to the bottom.

How is MT different from MP?

MP restores a screen that has been cleared. MT moves the current screen to the top of its content.

Conclusion

The MT command is the jump-to-top tool in Amadeus. Use MT to move the screen display directly to the top of the current information in a single step — useful when you need to re-check the first flights of the day, return to the header information on a schedule, or restart your review of a queue listing or report. It is a simple but efficient navigation command that saves time when working with long availability lists, schedules, timetables, queue listings, and detailed PNR displays. Remember that MT scrolls only; it does not retrieve data or modify anything, and it works within the current screen. If the display has been cleared, use MP to bring it back, and if the data has been replaced by another request, re-enter the original entry — for example AN for availability, RT for a PNR, or SN for a schedule. Paired with MB for jumping to the bottom, MUN and MDN for precise line-by-line scrolling, MP for restoring cleared screens, and ACR for redisplaying availability, MT completes your screen navigation toolkit and keeps your workflow fast when working with long displays.
