Amadeus TTI Command: Manually Update TST Info

A complete guide to the TTI command in Amadeus โ€” how to manually update TST validity dates, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, net fare, and fare elements before ticket issuance.

The TST is the heart of the ticketing process in Amadeus, and it does not always match what the airline requires. Special routings, manually approved fares, segment-specific baggage rules, or validity restrictions all need to be entered by hand. The TTI command is the entry that handles these manual updates. It allows you to modify segment details, validity dates, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, net fare, and the full fare element โ€” either for all segments or for specific segment numbers. This guide walks through every TTI variation so you can correct any TST element with confidence.

What Does the TTI Command Do?

TTI is the Amadeus GDS command used to manually update TST information such as validity dates, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, and fare elements.

Category: TST / Ticketing.

The TTI command allows you to manually modify different elements of a TST, including segment details, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, and fare amounts. Each variation targets a specific part of the ticket record and can be applied to all segments or to specific segment numbers. For fare, tax and total updates, use the companion TTK command.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro-Tip โ€” Always Redisplay the TST After a Manual Update

TTI changes the TST silently โ€” the entry is accepted, the PNR is saved, and no visible error appears. But the record you edited is not the record you have been reading on screen. Before issuing the ticket, you must redisplay the TST to confirm the change landed correctly.

Recommended verification sequence

1๏ธโƒฃ TTI/...    โ†’ apply the manual update
2๏ธโƒฃ TQT        โ†’ redisplay the TST (formatted view)
3๏ธโƒฃ TQTC       โ†’ redisplay in cryptic mode if needed
4๏ธโƒฃ check each field โ†’ validity, baggage, fare basis, fare calc
5๏ธโƒฃ TTF        โ†’ clear the change flag
6๏ธโƒฃ TTP        โ†’ issue the ticket

Why this matters

  • TTI entries do not always overwrite silently โ€” some are appended, some are ignored if the format is wrong.
  • The TST is only final when the change flag is cleared with TTF.
  • If you issue with TTP without redisplaying, a bad value can be sent to the airline and rejected at check-in.
  • Use TTH to review the history of the change if something looks wrong.

Rule of thumb: Never issue a ticket straight after a TTI entry. Redisplay with TQT first, verify the field you changed, then proceed. For fare, tax and total updates, use the companion TTK command.

When to Use TTI

Use TTI when you need to manually update or correct specific TST information, such as validity dates, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, net fare, or fare elements. Typical scenarios include:

  • Applying segment-specific validity dates approved by the airline.
  • Setting a baggage allowance that differs by segment.
  • Entering a manual fare basis for a child or infant passenger.
  • Building a fare calculation line for a manually priced ticket.
  • Creating a net fare amount for corporate or airline reporting.
  • Adding or removing fare elements for special fare structures.

How TTI Fits Into Your Ticketing Workflow

A typical manual update session using TTI might look like this:

  • Retrieve the PNR and create the TST with TTC if needed.
  • Apply the manual update using the appropriate TTI variation.
  • Redisplay the TST with TQT and verify the change.
  • Use TTF to clear the change flag.
  • Issue the ticket with TTP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TTI/A30K do?

It sets a 30 kg baggage allowance on all segments in the TST.

How do I delete all baggage allowance information?

Use TTI/A. To delete it for specific segments only, add the segment numbers, for example TTI/L2,4/A.

What is the difference between TTI and TTK?

Both update TST information. TTK focuses on fare, tax, total, and fare calculation elements; TTI focuses on validity dates, baggage, fare basis, fare calculation, net fare, and the full fare element.

Why should I redisplay the TST after a TTI update?

TTI entries change the TST silently โ€” the record you edited is not the same as what was on screen. Redisplay with TQT to confirm the change landed correctly, use TTF to clear the change flag, then issue.

Conclusion

The TTI command is the complete manual-update tool for TST information in Amadeus. It gives you direct control over validity dates, baggage allowance, fare basis, fare calculation, net fare, and the full fare element โ€” for all segments or for specific segment numbers. Use TTI/V for validity, TTI/A for baggage, TTI/B for fare basis, TTI/C for fare calculation, and TTI/F for the fare element. Because these entries change the ticket record manually, always redisplay the TST with TQT before issuing. Paired with TTK, TTS, TTA, and TTH, TTI completes the Amadeus TST toolkit and ensures every ticket record matches the airline’s requirement exactly.
