Amadeus RTIM: Itinerary with Married Segments

A complete guide to the RTIM command in Amadeus — how to display the entire itinerary of the current PNR, including married segment indicators on the affected flights.

Not every itinerary is a simple list of independent flights. Sometimes the airline’s inventory system links two or more segments together so they must be booked, changed, and flown as a single unit. These are known as married segments, and they are marked in the PNR with a married segment indicator. When you need to see the whole itinerary and understand which segments are married at the same time, the standard retrieval display is not always enough. The RT command shows the PNR, but the RTIM command is designed specifically for this purpose. It displays all itinerary segments and includes any married segment indicators associated with the flights. This guide explains what RTIM does, its syntax, and when it should be used.

What Does the RTIM Command Do?

RTIM is the Amadeus GDS command used to display the entire itinerary of the current PNR, including married segment indicators.

Category: PNR Display.

It displays all itinerary segments in the PNR and includes any married segment indicators associated with the flights.

Where the RTAM command shows only the segments that carry a married segment indicator, RTIM displays the full itinerary and highlights those indicators within it. This gives you the complete picture of the booking in one display, with the married segment information included.

Syntax

Enter the command on its own while the PNR is retrieved:

RTIM

This displays the entire itinerary of the current PNR, with any married segment indicators shown alongside the affected flight segments.

When to Use RTIM

Use RTIM when you need to view the complete itinerary and check whether any flight segments are marked as married segments. Typical scenarios include:

Reviewing the full itinerary before making changes to the booking.
Checking whether any segments are married before cancelling or rebooking one of them.
Troubleshooting a rejected change when married segments are suspected.
Understanding the structure of a booking taken over from another agent.
Preparing a PNR for a reissue, revalidation, or refund.
Confirming that married segments are present when the airline’s rules affect the booking.
Reviewing a multi-segment itinerary where some connections are interdependent.

How RTIM Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow

A typical session using RTIM might look like this:

Retrieve the PNR with RT to bring the booking into your workspace.
Enter RTIM to display the entire itinerary with married segment indicators included.
Note which segments are married and how they relate to each other.
Plan any change, cancellation, or rebooking so married segments are handled as a unit.
Use RTAM if you want to see only the married segments without the rest of the itinerary.
Review the PNR history with RH if you need to trace previous changes to the itinerary.

How RTIM Relates to Other PNR Display Commands

RT → retrieves and displays the full PNR without focusing on married segment indicators.
RTAM → displays only the segments with married segment indicators.
RTIM → displays the entire itinerary with married segment indicators included.
RTN → displays specific PNR elements, such as passenger names.
RH → displays the PNR history, including changes to segments.
RRA → copies a PNR and creates an AXR link between records.

The distinction: RTIM gives the full itinerary with married segment indicators, while RTAM shows only the married segments. Use RTIM when you need the complete picture, and RTAM when you only need the affected flights.

Important: Married segments must be treated as a single unit. Cancelling or modifying one segment without the other may result in the airline rejecting the change or in the remaining segment being automatically cancelled. Always check the itinerary with RTIM before making any change that could affect married segments.

If the itinerary does not contain married segments, RTIM will display the full itinerary without any married segment indicators — this is normal and means the itinerary can be changed with standard entries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the RTIM command do in Amadeus?

RTIM displays the entire itinerary of the current PNR, including married segment indicators on the affected flight segments.

What is the difference between RTIM and RTAM?

RTAM shows only the segments with married segment indicators. RTIM shows the entire itinerary and includes the married segment indicators within it.

What are married segments?

Married segments are two or more flight segments that the airline’s inventory system has linked. They must be booked, changed, and flown together.

Why does the airline reject a change to one of my segments?

It is often because the segment is married to another segment. Use RTIM or RTAM to check for married segment indicators before making the change.

What if RTIM shows no married segment indicators?

This means the itinerary contains no married segments. The segments can be modified with standard entries.

Conclusion

The RTIM command is the full itinerary display tool for married segment checks in Amadeus. Use RTIM to display every segment of the current PNR with married segment indicators included, so you can see the complete booking structure at a glance. It is essential before cancelling or modifying segments, when a change is rejected by the airline, or when reviewing a booking you have taken over from another agent. Married segments must be handled as a unit, so checking the itinerary first prevents costly mistakes. If you only need to see the affected segments, use RTAM instead. Paired with RT for full retrieval, RTN for specific element display, RH for history, and RRA for linked copies, the RTIM command completes your PNR display toolkit and ensures every itinerary change respects the married segment structure.
