Slide 7: 

Before proceeding to next frame of slides, I need to inform you that in system entry format, whatever alphabets which are shown in RED is to be presumed as mandatory system entries or function/s that cannot be changed. On the other hand whatever alphabets you will be encountering in GREEN or BLUE or in any other color, apart from RED , the same is to be presumed as changeable system data or whatever is in green, or other color, that part of entry can be changed to any substituted data as required from time to time or as need of the hour, while you are employed. For example, the entry to retrieve a basic neutral timetable from main database to your AAA, we use the entry TN followed by the date of departure and for the desired city pair and if we are supposed to retrieve a basic neutral timetable for the city pair Mumbai ( BOM ) to Manchester ( MAN ) for departure date 02 nd October , then the system entry would be TN 02OCT BOMMAN This combination of system format entries are presented in different colors to ensure that you understand the system format entries very clearly and can immediately know which are mandatory system entries and which are substitutable entries. Hope it is quite clear now.

Slide 8: 

The Amadeus reservation system maintains the schedules of domestic and international Official Airline Guides (OAGs), as well as seat inventory statistics on literally thousands of flights as advised by airlines to OAGs. Collectively, this information represents nearly every scheduled flight in the world. Amadeus has three main types of flight displays from which to obtain this information. This lesson will teach you about the timetable display. The next lesson will cover flight availability and schedule displays. The entries to display flight information use the three-letter city or airport codes you learnt about in Lesson 2.

Slide 9: 

In this 1 st section, you will learn how to retrieve a neutral airliners timetable for a city pair and interpret the system response.

Slide 13: 

Timetables contain important information regarding each flight's frequency of operation. One thing that timetables do not display is the actual availability of seats on a given flight. In the next lesson, you will learn about availability and schedule displays, which do include seating inventories, and allow you to book flights. Timetables are used for informational purposes only and to ascertain the frequency of flight operations over a period of one week from the date specified in our entry. A neutral timetable is the most basic type in that it lists flights in the most general order possible. There are other, more advanced types of timetable displays. Just know that there are other types out there, although neutral timetables are generally the most useful. Please advance to the next frame where you will learn the entry about how to display the neutral timetable in agent assembly area.

Before proceeding to next frame of slides, I need to inform you that in system entry format, whatever alphabets which are shown in RED is to be presumed as mandatory system entries or function/s that cannot be changed. On the other hand whatever alphabets you will be encountering in GREEN or BLUE or in any other color, apart from RED , the same is to be presumed as changeable system data or whatever is in green, or other color, that part of entry can be changed to any substituted data as required from time to time or as need of the hour, while you are employed. For example, the entry to retrieve a basic neutral availability from main database to your AAA, we use the entry AN system command entry followed by the date of departure and the desired city pair, with or without a desired time of departure. If we are supposed to retrieve a basic neutral availability for the city pair Mumbai ( BOM ) to Manchester ( MAN ) for departure date 02 nd October , then the system entry would be AN 02OCT BOMMAN This combination of system format entries are presented in different colors to ensure that you understand the system format entries very clearly and can immediately know which are mandatory system entries and which are substitutable entries. Hope it is quite clear now.

Slide 17: 

In the last lesson you learnt about a type of Amadeus flight display called the timetable. The most useful type of flight display, however, is the availability display. Not only do availability displays show important scheduling information for flights, they also list available seating on each flight. Furthermore, you can book seats on a flight by directly referencing an availability display, as you will do in the next lesson. In this lesson you will learn all about the neutral availability display. It is the most basic type, and generally the most useful. In Course 2 you will learn about other types of availability displays. Neutral availability displays, like neutral timetables, list flights in the most general order.
