Access Marine Fares in BookingPad

How to include Marine Fares in BookingPad

This is a guide to provide you with assistance when creating presets for Marine fares. This type of fare requires more information than others such as VFR or TO fares. That’s why there are some additional elements you need to know when creating a booking for Seaman passengers.

Create a Preset

First, you will need to click on the presets and you’ll see a dropdown menu. Select the option ‘edit presets’. On this page, you can click on the plus symbol and add a new preset.

When creating the preset, you’ll need to include specific information for Marine fares if required by the airline, such as:

• PTCs: delete the default information and add SEA to the ADT tab.
• Preferences: Select the Shop preference required by the airline (i.e Marine Fare 758, Nego 749).
• Include your Account ID in the Qualifier section.

Airline Requirements Table

The following table outlines the specific codes, Passenger Type Codes (PTCs), and qualifiers needed to successfully build Marine presets across different carriers:
