Split PNR – Supported scenarios and limitations
Supported scenarios:
• Split and cancel
• Split and change date
• Split and upgrade
Limitations
• One split per request. We cannot split into multiple bookings simultaneously
• No other OrderChange operations in conjunction with a split, e.g. Issuing a ticket, adding an ancillary product
• We cannot split…
o Only a young adult or child passenger into a new booking, as they cannot travel alone. They can be split with an adult.
o All passengers into a new booking
o A booking with only one passenger
o A card payment booking, where a payer is a passenger, and within the cooling off period
o A booking with free seats. They must be cancelled prior.
o Any passengers without at least one contact detail

Lessons learned:
- The process is too open to interpretation
- Self certification is a problem, as we will naturally be less critical of ourselves than others
- Gathering evidence is a bit arduous
- Order History is not yet fit for purpose
Why have we gone for @Scale?
- This shows our confidence in our NDC implementation, and our ability to support our sellers both now and in the future
- For those who may have been hesitant about connecting without some industry “seal of approval”
- It is a necessary step towards Business Travel Ready, which we are aiming to achieve in 2020
