Amadeus TI Command: Visa, Health & Travel Info

A complete guide to the TI command in Amadeus โ€” how to access visa and health requirements, country information, travel rules, news, help pages, and airport-city lists.

Travel agents are frequently asked questions that have nothing to do with fares or ticketing: does this passenger need a visa, are there health requirements for this destination, what are the entry rules, which cities in Italy have airports. The TI command in Amadeus answers all of these from within the system. It provides access to travel information including visa and health requirements, country information, travel rules, news, help pages, and airport-city lists. This guide walks through each TI variation, so you can retrieve the exact information you need without leaving your workflow.
