Overview New Electronic Ticketing functionality for users of Apollo (1V) and Galileo (1G) to request a same day void of an exchange/reissue transaction with carriers that will accept this transaction type.
Customer Benefit Void an exchange/reissue to correct an error within the same calendar day. Efficient and cost effective.
Detail and Customer Examples Void Exchange/Reissue Transaction
1. Will only be allowed within the same calendar day of the exchange/reissue transaction. 2. May only be requested by the same issuing agency location or authorized branch location. 3. Not allowed with partially used, used, refunded or voided Electronic Tickets. 4. Allowed for Electronic to Electronic and Electronic to Paper Ticket exchanges. 5. Paper to Electronic Ticket exchanges will continue to support use of the RRVO Void in Apollo and TRV Void in Galileo. 6. Coupon(s) status of the new ticket from an Electronic to Electronic exchange/reissue must be “Open for Use” (OPEN or ARPT) and EXCH for the ticket being exchanged. 7. When the new ticket is Electronic, a Settlement Authorization Code (SAC) will be transmitted by the validating carrier upon positive acknowledgement of the void request. A SAC will not be transmitted when the new ticket is Paper. 8. A void request is required to be repeated by the user until a positive acknowledgement is received from the validating carrier. 9. May not be reversed or un-voided after void. 10. Requires carrier acceptance of this transaction type. 11. Only requires input of first ticket number for conjunction tickets. 12. May be voided within or outside PNR/BF. 13. Updates to DAR (Apollo), Enhanced TINS and TINS History (Galileo) as noted in examples. 14. Issues Void MIR as noted in the following examples.
