A complete guide to the TTS command in Amadeus โ how to split one or more passengers from an existing TST while keeping the PNR and ticket structure ready for further processing.
In a multi-passenger PNR, not every traveller always needs the same fare treatment. One passenger may need a different fare basis, a child may require a separate ticket record, or a corporate traveller may need to be invoiced independently. In these situations, the TST itself must be restructured โ and that is where the TTS command comes in. It allows you to split one or more passengers out of an existing TST while keeping both the passengers and the TST structure available for further processing. This guide explains what TTS does, shows the exact syntax for every split scenario, and explains when to use it.

What Does the TTS Command Do?
TTS is the Amadeus GDS command used to split one or more passengers from an existing TST.
Category: TST / Ticketing.
The TTS entry allows you to remove specific passengers from one or more TSTs while keeping the passengers and TST structure available for further processing.
Nothing is cancelled and no ticket is issued at this stage. TTS simply reorganises which passengers belong to which TST, so each traveller or group can be priced, ticketed, or reissued independently.
Split a Passenger from the Only Existing TST
When the PNR contains a single TST, specify the passenger number:
TTS/P2
This splits passenger 2 from the only existing TST, separating that traveller into their own TST record.
Split Multiple Passengers from a Specific TST
To separate several passengers from one particular TST, list the passenger numbers separated by a comma and specify the TST:
TTS/P3,5/T2
This splits passengers 3 and 5 from TST 2, leaving the remaining passengers on the original TST.
Split a Passenger from Multiple TSTs
If a passenger appears on more than one TST โ common when an itinerary is split across several ticket records โ list the TST numbers together:
TTS/P3/T2,4
This splits passenger 3 from TSTs 2 and 4, separating the traveller from every TST they appear on.
Split Multiple Passengers from Multiple TSTs
To split a range of passengers from a range of TSTs, use hyphens to indicate the range:
TTS/P2-3/T1-3
This splits passengers 2 and 3 from TSTs 1 through 3 in a single entry โ ideal for group or family bookings that need restructuring.
๐ก Pro-Tip โ Verify the Split With TQT
TTS restructures the TST silently โ the entry is accepted without showing the new layout. To be certain the split landed correctly, you must redisplay the TST structure before proceeding with pricing, reissue or issuance.
Recommended verification sequence
1๏ธโฃ TTS/P2-3/T1-3 โ split passengers from TSTs
2๏ธโฃ TQT โ redisplay the TST list
3๏ธโฃ check โ each passenger is now in the right TST
4๏ธโฃ TQTC โ cryptic view if precise checks are needed
5๏ธโฃ TTH โ confirm the split appears in history
6๏ธโฃ ER โ save the transaction
What a correct split looks like in TQT
- New TST numbers appear in the TST list.
- The passenger association on each TST matches the split you intended.
- No passenger appears on both the original and the new TST unless that was intentional.
- Fare and tax totals are intact and ready for further pricing or issuance.
Rule of thumb: Never continue to TTP or a reissue straight after TTS without redisplaying the TST. Use TQT to confirm the new structure, and TTH to review the split history if anything looks wrong.
TST History โ Confirming the Split
After splitting passengers from a TST, the transaction can be reviewed through the TST history to track the changes made to the stored ticket information.
Use the TTH command to review those changes:
TTH
This confirms exactly which passengers were split, from which TSTs, and when the change was applied.
When to Use TTS
Use TTS when you need to separate passengers from an existing TST, particularly when different passengers require separate fare or ticketing treatment. Typical scenarios include:
- An adult and a child on the same PNR needing different fare treatment.
- One passenger requiring a separate ticket for invoicing or company reporting.
- A group booking where some travellers are reissuing and others are not.
- Splitting a passenger from a TST before applying a different fare basis or tax structure.
- Restructuring TSTs before processing multiple reissues or refunds.
How TTS Fits Into Your Ticketing Workflow
A typical ticketing session using TTS might look like this:
- Retrieve the PNR and display the TSTs to see how passengers are grouped.
- Decide which passengers need to be separated.
- Enter
TTS/P2or the appropriate split entry. - Verify the new TST structure by redisplaying the TSTs with TQT.
- Use TTH to confirm the split was recorded in the TST history.
- Proceed with pricing, reissue, or ticketing for each group separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does TTS/P2 do?
It splits passenger 2 from the only existing TST in the PNR, separating that traveller into their own TST record.
Does TTS cancel the ticket?
No. TTS only restructures the TST, separating passengers. No ticket is cancelled and no issuance takes place during the split.
How do I confirm a TST split was applied?
Redisplay the TST with TQT to see the new TST structure, then use TTH to review the changes made to the stored ticket information.
What is the difference between TTS and TTA?
TTS splits passengers out of a TST; TTA adds passengers into a TST. They are opposite operations.
Can I split passengers from multiple TSTs in one entry?
Yes. Use TTS/P3/T2,4 to split one passenger from multiple TSTs, or TTS/P2-3/T1-3 for ranges.
Do I need to use TTF after TTS?
If the split creates a PNR change flag on the affected TSTs, use TTF to clear it before proceeding with ticketing or reissue.
Conclusion
The TTS command gives you full control over how passengers are grouped on a TST in Amadeus. Whether you need to separate one traveller, several passengers, or a range of passengers from multiple TSTs, TTS restructures the ticket records without cancelling or issuing anything. Use TTS/P2 for a single passenger on the only TST, TTS/P3,5/T2 for multiple passengers from a specific TST, and range entries such as TTS/P2-3/T1-3 for group restructuring. After the split, always confirm the change with TQT and review the history with TTH. Paired with TTC, TTA, and TTF, TTS completes the TST toolkit and ensures every passenger record is correctly structured for pricing and issuance.
