Electronic tickets will be issued as a default if flights/s are marked as -E and there is an IET in place with all marketing and operating carriers in the itinerary.
Maximum number of segments is 16 – ARNK segment counts as a coupon. OU allows ETKT issuance for groups but number of e-tickets issued in one transaction should be reduced to 9 or less. Our recommendation is 6 tickets per transaction. Coupons must be used consecutively.
E-ticket coupon status:
O = OPEN
A = AIRPORT CONTROL
C = CHECKED-IN
F = FLOWN
U = UNAVAILABLE (not available for use)
S = SUSPENDED (not available for use)
Z = CLOSED (not available for use)
R = REFUNDED
E = EXCHANGED
V = VOID
G = EXCHANGED TO FIM
L = LIFTED
N = NOTIFIED
P = PRINTED (to paper)
X = PRINT EXCHANGED (printed to paper with new document number)
Some Departure control Systems don’t use interim status C so when passenger is accepted status remains A. Such DCSes are iPORT used in SJJ and SKP and NIKO used at all Croatian stations except ZAG.
