Sabre tips and shortcuts
As we are trying to find our rhythm with Sabre formats, it would be great if agents would share formats others may not have come across. Seems not all classes learned the same info.
Here are a few to share:
Since we don't have windows, if you want to use what you have on your screen to hold information, for example, for an exchange, do CTRL Y. It save it in a small window on the same screen.
To avoid having to click on the Command History arrow at the top, you can do ALT and up arrow to click through last entries
Create a traveler profile from a pnr - NJSMITH Where smith is the last name. That's it! It appears to already associate to the Level 1 and Level 2 profiles as that info is already in there
Check the historical fare : WPB12JAN25
Did you use the FXN format to quickly check fare rules from a pnr in Apollo? Here is the Sabre equivalent :
1/ WP the fare you are using
2/WPRD*S1-2#C16 Translation : Will you price rule description-segments 1 and 2 - Category 16
3/Do the same for the return or onward fares
WPNI only shows 9 options. Max is 19. If you want all of them, do WPNI#Z19
Your WP format is showing basic fare. To go up to non basic- WPMPC-0 Then PQ
Please share everyone ! :)
