 | Airline consolidators | Wholesalers of air tickets that usually partner with airlines to get negotiated rates for air tickets, and then resell the air tickets to travel agents or consumers. |
 | Amadeus Office ID | An identification number assigned to travel agencies to access Amadeus system and book reservations. |
 | Amenities | Additional services or features offered to enhance the experience of the passengers, such as food, entertainment, Wi-Fi, extra legroom, baggage allowance, frequent flyer programs, and lounge access. They can vary depending on the class of service and the airline/train company. |

-| Automatic Ticketing | Automatic ticketing streamlines flight booking by automating the issuance of tickets once a reservation meets predefined conditions. This eliminates manual intervention and ensures faster processing. Some consolidators require specific remarks in the booking request to enable automatic ticketing. |
 | Baggage allowance | The amount of luggage that a passenger is allowed to carry on a flight without additional charges. |
 | Booking | The process of reserving a seat on a flight or a room in a hotel. |

While e-ticketing reduces costs and enhances efficiency, it still requires compliance with airline and consolidator policies. In the Self-Service framework, e-ticketing is not possible, and all ticket issuance must be done through a consolidator. |
-| EOS Agreement (Extended Ownership Security) | An Extended Ownership Security (EOS) agreement governs data-sharing permissions between different office IDs. Before enabling flight booking in Self-Service, we establish an EOS agreement between you and your consolidator, allowing them to access a queue of all bookings you generate in production. |

-| Limited Post-Ticketing Capabilities | Limited post-ticketing capabilities mean only partial modifications (such as cancellations before ticket issuance) are available. To perform full post-ticketing actions, you must use Amadeus Web Services (SOAP APIs). |
 | Location Id           | Amadeus-defined identifier that you can see in the search results when querying Self-Service APIs that retrieve information on geographical locations.                                                                            |
-| Manual Ticketing | Manual ticketing requires human intervention to verify, process, and issue tickets. This method is typically used when bookings lack automated processing parameters, such as incorrect office IDs or queue assignments. Manual ticketing is slower, less scalable, and may incur additional fees from consolidators. |
-| Markups | A markup is an additional fee added by travel agents to the base fare of a flight ticket to cover operational costs and generate profit. Our APIs allow you to freely configure markup values on top of airline prices. |
 | Multi-stop flight | A flight itinerary that includes stops at multiple destinations before reaching the final destination. |
-| Negotiated Fare | Negotiated fares, also known as consolidator fares, are special discounted rates that airlines or fare consolidators make available to authorized travel agents.

-| Public Fares | Public fares, also called published fares, are standard airline rates made available to all travel agents and consumers. These fares are universally accessible and subject to airline-defined pricing policies. By default, all our APIs return public fares. |
-| Reissue | A reissue occurs when an existing ticket is replaced due to itinerary changes, fare adjustments, or passenger modifications. This functionality is not available through Self-Service APIs, but certain consolidators may offer reissue services for an additional fee. |
-| Reservation vs. Ticket Issued | Booking a flight involves two distinct steps: **Reservation (Flight Order Creation):** Includes fare search, price confirmation, and PNR generation. At this stage, a seat is reserved but not ticketed. **Ticket Issuance:** The airline receives payment, and the reservation is converted into a confirmed ticket. In the Self-Service framework, ticket issuance requires a consolidator, even if you are a certified travel agent. |
-| Remarks | Remarks in flight bookings refer to metadata or special instructions added to a Passenger Name Record (PNR). These remarks can trigger specific processing actions, such as fare validation or automatic ticket issuance. Some consolidators require custom remarks for workflow automation. |
 | Round-trip | A trip that includes travel to a destination and then back to the original departure point. |
 | Seatmap | A map or diagram of the seating layout in the cabin of an aircraft or train. It shows the location of different types of seats, such as exit row, bulkhead seat, aisle seat, window seat. It can be used to choose a seat or to see the availability of seats for a certain flight. |
