A complete guide to the RRI command in Amadeus โ how to copy only the itinerary elements of a PNR while optionally changing seats, dates, booking class, or specific segments.
Rebuilding an itinerary from scratch is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for complex routings with multiple connections, car or hotel segments, or group bookings. The RRI command solves that problem. It copies only the itinerary elements of a PNR, giving you a clean starting point without the passenger names, contact details, remarks, or TSTs that usually clutter a booking. On top of that, it allows you to adjust the number of seats, shift travel dates forward or backward, change the class of service, or target specific segments โ all in a single entry. This guide explains what RRI does, the syntax for each variation, and when it should be used.
What Does the RRI Command Do?
RRI is the Amadeus GDS command used to copy only the itinerary elements of a PNR.
Category: PNR Management.
It allows you to copy the itinerary while optionally changing the number of seats, travel dates, booking class, or selected segments.
Unlike a full PNR clone, RRI copies only the segments โ not the passengers, not the contact elements, not the ticketing arrangements. This makes it the ideal tool for building a new booking that mirrors an existing routing but with different travellers, dates, or class of service.
Copy All Itinerary Elements
Copy the full itinerary from the retrieved PNR:
RRI
This copies only the itinerary elements into a new PNR. No passengers, no contact details, no remarks โ just the segments.
Change Number of Seats
Copy the itinerary while adjusting the number of booked seats:
RRI/6
This copies the itinerary while increasing or decreasing the number of booked seats. It is useful when the same routing needs to be reused for a larger or smaller group.
Change Travel Dates
Move the itinerary back by 3 days:
RRI/DM3
Move the itinerary forward by 7 days:
RRI/DP7
The DM option shifts dates back, while DP moves them forward. This is useful when you are copying a booking to a different week or month.
Change Class of Service
Copy the itinerary and change the class of service:
RRI/CY
This copies the itinerary and changes the booking class across the copied segments to the class specified.
Copy Specific Segments
RRI/S5
Copies only segment 5.
RRI/S3,5
Copies only segments 3 and 5.
RRI/S3-5
Copies segments 3 through 5.
RRI/SX5
Copies all itinerary elements except segment 5. The X indicator excludes the listed segment from the copy.
Change a Specific Segment Date
Copy the itinerary and change the departure date of one segment:
RRI/S4D23JUN
This copies the itinerary and changes the departure date of segment 4 to 23 June.
Copy the itinerary while changing the date range of a car or hotel segment:
RRI/S6D1AUG-3AUG
This is useful for ancillary segments โ car rentals and hotel stays โ where a date range applies rather than a single departure date.
Change Class for a Specific Segment
Change the class of service for one segment only:
RRI/S4CY
This changes the class of service for segment 4 while copying the rest of the itinerary as it is.
Change Deposit Information
Copy the itinerary and change the deposit information for a specific segment:
RRI/S7,DP-CASH
This copies the itinerary and changes the deposit information for segment 7 โ useful when the deposit method must differ from the original booking, such as switching to a cash deposit for a car or hotel segment.
When to Use RRI
Use RRI when you want to create a PNR copy containing only itinerary elements, with the option to modify specific segments, dates, booking class, or seat quantity. Typical scenarios include:
- Rebuilding a booking for a different group using the same routing.
- Copying a familiar itinerary into a new PNR before adding new passengers.
- Shifting the same itinerary to a different week or month with
DMorDP. - Rebooking the same itinerary in a different class of service.
- Copying only the segments that matter, excluding unwanted legs with
SX. - Adjusting a car or hotel segment for a new date range.
- Reusing a known routing without recreating it manually from availability.
How RRI Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow
A typical session using RRI might look like this:
- Retrieve the PNR whose itinerary you want to copy.
- Decide whether you need all segments, specific segments, or all except some.
- Enter the appropriate RRI entry โ for example
RRI/S3-5for a partial copy. - Add the new passengers using
NM. - Add contact details, ticketing arrangements, and other PNR elements.
- Price the new itinerary with
FXPorFXXand continue to ticketing.
How RRI Relates to Other Copy and PNR Management Commands
- RRI โ copies only the itinerary elements of a PNR.
- RRN โ copies only the passenger names.
- RRA โ copies all PNR elements.
- RRP โ copies selected PNR elements based on your selection.
- RO โ copies the PNR to a new record locator at the same office.
- RT โ retrieves a PNR or displays an itinerary.
RRI is the specific choice when you want only the itinerary โ no names, no contacts, no remarks, no ticketing arrangements.
Important: RRI copies segments as they are booked. If the original booking class is not available at the time of copying, the system may reject the entry or return a warning โ always verify the copied segments and availability before proceeding.
After copying, remember that the new PNR does not carry the original passengers, contact details, or TSTs. Add every required element before pricing and ticketing.

Conclusion
The RRI command is the itinerary-copying tool in Amadeus. Use RRI to copy all itinerary elements, RRI/DM3 or RRI/DP7 to shift the dates, RRI/S5, RRI/S3,5, or RRI/S3-5 to copy only specific segments, RRI/SX5 to exclude one, and RRI/S4D23JUN or RRI/S4CY to modify a specific segment during the copy. It saves time, avoids re-entering complex routings, and keeps the new PNR clean by leaving out passengers, contacts, and TSTs. Paired with other copy commands and standard PNR management tools, the RRI command completes your toolkit and helps you rebuild bookings with confidence and accuracy.
