Long Sell

The Amadeus system provides you with two methods for selling an air segment:  

  • Short Sell: This method requires you to first display an availability or schedule display before selling. You then sell the air segment using the corresponding line number. 
  • Long Sell: This method requires you to provide all the details of the flight. This includes airline code, flight number, class of service, date, origin and destination cities, and the number of seats. 

Long Sell in Command mode
When you know all the details for a specific flight, you can book a seat using a Long Sell entry.  A Long Sell entry is also called a direct sell entry.  The Long Sell entry does not refer to an availability or schedule display. 

To make a Long Sell entry for two flights in one entry, enter:
