Attention:
If passenger wants to cancel part of the OnD, both married segments must be cancelled, and itinerary should be booked again for the requested flight (even if the requested flight is exactly the same with the one flight of the original itinerary).
Example:
Itinerary
SKG-ATH K/class 20APR
ATH-TXL K/class 20APR
Passenger requests to cancel the SKG-ATH and keep only the ATH-TXL.
As per above clarification, agent should cancel both segment and make a new availability/booking for the ATH-TXL 20APR in any available RBD.
Voluntary Reissue
IMPORTANT COMMENTS
In case of reissue, the total amount of the new fare must be equal to or greater than the original fare (including Q tax for the fuel surcharge)
- Travel agents are not permitted to reissue a round trip ticket to a one way ticket in any scenario other than reestablishing coupon sequence (eg CDG-ATH-CDG reissued to ATH-CDG).
- Travel Agencies are permitted to exchange tickets originally issued by themselves (same IATA as original issuing agency).
- Travel agents are not permitted to exchange tickets issued by Aegean Airlines or Olympic air.
- Travel agencies are not permitted to reissue tickets validated on another carrier to an Aegean Airlines (390) ticket. This type of exchange is prohibited.
- Travel agencies are not permitted to reissue tickets validated on another carrier to an Olympic aAir (050) ticket. This type of exchange is prohibited.
- Travel agencies are not permitted to refund a ticket that is not originally issued on their own IATA (office)
- Travel agencies are not permitted to refund tickets issued by A3/OA.
- Travel agencies are permitted to refund tickets that are originally issued by themselves (same IATA as original issuing agency).
Travel Agents are permitted to reroute/reissue tickets according to IATA Resolution 838 (Change of Traffic Documents by Agents) the above rules apply to tickets reissued by travel agencies according to the following:
1. When the new total fare amount is equal to or greater than the original fare amount (including the Q tax for fuel surcharge)
EXCEPTION
When the fare component is in a higher economy RBD, which might have a decreased price since ticket issue and as downgrade is not permitted, ONLY for below cases:
- Only for totally unused tickets
- If business class is not available
- If there is no business class cabin
- For Y Light fares, where reissue in another fare family is not permitted
- Only for rebooking scenarios and not for rerouting
- Only if it is not possible to have a higher total fare amount (example one-way tickets, round trip tickets where the unchanged component is also booked in the higher RBD)
- Name change of Child ticket issued before 15 May23, eligible to be issued to FAMILY fare
- PNR issued under Flex or ComfortFlex fares, before 15May23, eligible to be reissued to FAMILY fare retaining original flight details.
Exceptionally follow the below procedure:
- Reissue the ticket in the same RBD as no additional collection.
- New fare amount field should have the original fare amount/fare base.
- Taxes should have the new tax amount.
- Fare construction should be updated with the original fare amount
- Add in the Endorsement Box: “FE DTOF”” (due to old fare)
Attention:
If:
- there is business class
- new pricing is equal or greater than the original fare
- there is an available higher RBD
- it is possible to have higher total fare amount by also upgrading the unchanged component
- passenger requests a rerouting
then a normal voluntary reissue procedure must follow.
Before following the above procedure, for totally unused tickets, first check the new pricing, in order to confirm if the new fare amount is equal/higher or lower.
In any other case, where the passenger does not agree to pay the fare difference (in case of upgrading to business or in case of rebooking the entire itinerary in order to have a higher fare amount) the ticket can be only voluntary refunded as per fare rules.
2. When there is change in the country of origin.
Such rerouting can be carried our by the travel agency as well as by A3.
Examples:
ATH-CDG
Changed to FRA-ATH -> Permitted
Permitted both from travel agency and A3.
LON-ATH
Change to CPH-HER -> Permitted
Permitted both from travel agency and A3.
ATH-FCO
Change to ATH-CDG
Permitted both from travel agency and A3.
ATH-BRU-ATH
Changed to LON-ATH-LON à Permitted
Permitted both from travel agency and A3.
Original ticket: ATH-CDG-ATH
Change to CDG-ATH-CDG à Permitted
Permitted both from travel agencies and A3.
ATH-FCO-ATH
ATH-FCO already flown
FCO-ATH to change to CDG-ATH
Permitted.
Origin is ATH, ticket is partial used.
So travel agents can change/rebook/reissue ATH-FCO-ATH to ATH-FCO-/CDG-ATH
3. From Domestic to Domestic (between Greece-Greece) and from International to International (between Greece-International v.v or International-International)
Examples:
Domestic to Domestic
SKG-ATH-SKG
ATH-HER-ATH
CHQ-ATH-SKG-ATH-CHQ
International to International
MXP-ATH-MXP
FCO-ATH-FCO
Travel agencies are not allowed to reissue a domestic to international and international to domestic due to the difference in VAT between domestic and international travels.
Example:
Original ticket
ATH-SKG
Change to ATH-MXP
Not permitted from travel agency.
Such reissue can be performed only direct from A3.
4. Reissue with coupon sequence
Same policy as above.
A reissue with coupon sequence is actually a rerouting scenario and as a result travel agent can proceed only if there is no change from international to domestic and from domestic to international. When a return itinerary for the coupon sequence must be reissued due to cancellation of the first coupon, this means that it will be changed to one-way and as a result the departure country will not be the same as the original ticket.
Example:
ATH-SKG-ATH
Passenger requests to cancel the ATH-SKG
New itinerary will be SKG-ATH
So the new origin will be SKG, which is in the same country with original origin (ATH)
In this scenario travel agent can proceed with the reissue
FCO-ATH-FCO
Passenger requests to cancel the FCO-ATH
New itinerary will be ATH-FCO
Such reissue can be processed both from travel agency and A3.
5. When travel agent will proceed with a reissue with refundable balance (fare/taxes or both)
New ticket should have the amounts only for the segments that will be used or have already been used.
Even if the fare of the cancelled coupon is nonrefundable and will not be refunded, the fare amount of the cancelled coupon should not appear in the new ticket fare amount.
Travel agent for the refundable amount will have to:
- Proceed with refund application through BSP Link
Or
- Send an email to A3 revenue accounting (revenueA3@aegeanair.com) asking for the refund of the refundable amounts (included in the email the ticket number and the cancelled segments). A3 will make the check for the amounts and will issue an ACM (credit memo).
6. For both totally unused and partially used tickets, reissue conditions available at the date of original or previous (in case of reissue) pricing apply.
Check fare notes of original route and original fare basis, but with the date of reissue.
7. A3 and OA can proceed with any reissue (rebooking/ rerouting) in a travel agency ticket.
In such case, if there is a refundable balance amount.
A3/OA agent will reissue the ticket with an EMD RSVR (for the refundable balance amount) and will inform passenger to contact with the travel agent for the refund.
Travel agent in such scenario cannot proceed with the refund through the GDS. A refund application should be fill in through BSP and ask for the refund with the original ticket number and with the EMD number.
8. Travel agents are not permitted to issue EMDs for penalties (related with fare rules)
Any amount that should be collected for penalties should be included in the reissue/exchanged ticket in taxes field with below codes:
- Distribution Channel Fee – DCF* fee: YR (Effective January 1st 2021)
- Rebooking/penalty fee: DU (non-refundable)
- Name change fee: OC (non-refundable)
* Please refer to Distribution Channel Fee – DCF for further information (chapter DCF v3.0).
When a ticket that is already reissued once and include any of the above codes will present for a new reissue from the travel agency or from the carrier (A3/OA), these amounts are nonrefundable and should not be refunded.
So when the agent will make the check between original taxes (from original ticket) and new taxes (from new itinerary) and these codes do not exist in the new pricing, agent should not present them for refund.
These codes are penalties that were collected for the previous reissue (rebooking/rerouting) and should remain and shown normally in the new reissue ticket.
