Amadeus TTE Command: Delete TSTs from a PNR

A complete guide to the TTE command in Amadeus — how to delete one or more Transitional Stored Tickets from a PNR, individually, by range, by passenger, or all at once.

Quick Reference — All TTE Syntax Variations

TTE is the Amadeus GDS command used to delete one or more Transitional Stored Tickets (TSTs) from a PNR.

Category: Ticketing.

The TTE command allows you to delete TSTs individually, by range, by passenger, or all at once. It is one of the most frequently used commands in ticketing because a clean TST structure is essential before repricing, reissuing, or issuing a ticket.

Delete a single TST:

TTE

Delete a specific TST:

TTE/T1

This deletes TST 1 only, leaving any other TSTs in the PNR untouched.

Delete selected TSTs:

TTE/T1,3

This deletes TSTs 1 and 3 in a single entry.

Delete a range of TSTs:

TTE/T1-3

This deletes TSTs 1 through 3.

Delete all TSTs:

TTE/ALL

This removes every TST from the PNR. Use it carefully — it clears the entire ticket structure in a single action.

Delete TSTs associated with specific passengers:

TTE/P1,3

This deletes the TSTs for passengers 1 and 3.

Delete TSTs for a range of passengers:

TTE/P1-3

This deletes the TSTs for passengers 1 through 3.

When precise control is needed, combine TST and passenger numbers in one entry:

TTE/T1,3/P1,3,4/T3/P5

This deletes specific TSTs for the specified passengers. It is essential in complex multi-passenger PNRs where each traveller has their own TST and only some records need to be removed.

💡 Pro-Tip — Verify Before and After with TQT

Always display the TST structure with TQT before you delete anything, so you know exactly which TST numbers exist and which passengers they belong to. After running TTE, run TQT again to confirm the correct TSTs were removed and no unexpected records were affected.

1️⃣ TQT       → display TSTs before deleting
2️⃣ TTE/T1    → delete the specific TST
3️⃣ TQT       → confirm the deletion was correct
4️⃣ FXP       → reprice the itinerary (if needed)

If TQT shows an unexpected TST number after the deletion, run RT to refresh the PNR, or use TTH to review the TST history.

Use TTE when you need to remove an existing TST before repricing, modifying fare information, or creating a new TST for the PNR. Typical scenarios include:

• Clearing an old TST before repricing an itinerary.
• Deleting a TST that was created in error.
• Removing a TST after a manual pricing attempt was abandoned.
• Clearing selected TSTs before reissuing a ticket.
• Preparing a PNR for a fresh automatic pricing result.
• Removing outdated TSTs from multi-passenger PNRs.

A typical ticketing session using TTE might look like this:

• Retrieve the PNR and display the TSTs with TQT.
• Identify which TSTs need to be removed.
• Enter TTE/T1, TTE/T1-3, or TTE/ALL as appropriate.
• End the transaction to save the deletion.
• Reprice the itinerary or create a fresh TST with TTC as needed.
• Verify the TST structure is clean before issuing the ticket with TTP.

What does TTE/ALL do?

It deletes all TSTs from the PNR in a single entry. Use it carefully, as the entire ticket structure is cleared.

How do I delete a TST for a specific passenger?

Use the passenger association, for example TTE/P1,3 to delete the TSTs for passengers 1 and 3.

Does TTE delete the ticket itself?

No. TTE removes the TST (Transitional Stored Ticket) from the PNR. Issued tickets and other PNR elements are not affected by the deletion.

How do I verify the TST was correctly deleted?

Run TQT again after the deletion. The TST numbers should shift accordingly, and the record you removed should no longer appear. You can also use TTH to review the TST history.
