   Click here for more information. If you select this option, the Flight Summary and Accounting tabs are removed from the self operation flight, and the selling prices for the self operation flight are calculated from the business rules.   In this mode the tour operator is not required to purchase all the seats from the supplier, and unsold seats do not generate a loss. The self operation flight is used to manage flight allocations.

   • When a flight is operated without the profit mechanism, and the seats are managed in the GDS in a Group PNR, to update the PNR in the travel files, in the Group PNR field, enter the PNR record.

   It is possible to book two flights (round trip) with different PNRs. In this case, two different transactions will be created in the travel file. When the airline issues a ticket through the GDS, a separate voucher will be issued for each flight and transaction and the BSP reconciliation will be complete.

6. Source: Below the Group PNR field, there is a field called Source where you can choose the GDS from a dropdown list. This way, the group PNR number and the GDS name are saved for each reservation. When the self-operation flight is ticketed, the service is updated with the exact flight cost, together with the ticket numbers.
