Type A

RESOLVED that Resolution 017 e is amended as follows

A GENER AL

1) mixed class travel is when an itinerary involves travel in two or more classes of service

2) in assessing the fare for the mixed class transportation, special fares must not be used

3) the application of this Resolution shall not be used to circumven t any stopover/transfer

restrictions applicable to the through fare for the lowest class of service used

4) differentials are assessed in the same direction as the fare used for the lowest class of

service

5) when half round trip fares are used, differentials are assessed using half round trip

fares. When one way fares are used, differentials are assessed using one way fares

6) class differential calculation is only subject to the HIP check, no further minimum checks

apply

7) when comparing normal fares of the 'same class of service', in order to determine the

fares to be used in a class differential calculation, the following sequence shall apply

if no sleeper seat fare, use first class fare;

if no first class fare, use intermediate/ business class fare;

if no intermediate/ business class fare, use premium economy class fare;

if no premium economy class fare, use economy class fare

provided that where more than one economy class fare is published,

use the highest economy class fare;

Example

Routing: SIN C LAX F CHI

when calculating the class differential for LAX to CHI, if there is no

intermediate/ business class fare for this sector, the highest premium economy fare shall

be used, i.e. LAX

- CHI F

- W = D

B FARE CALCULATION

1) establish the fare for the itinerary in the lowest class of service used applying all

applicable fare construction checks; provided that if no fare is found in the lowest class

of service used, drop down to the next lower class of service common to all the fare

components of the pricing unit

Example:

TYO C SEL F TSN C DLC C TYO (sector fares) when there is no C fare available for

SEL TSN, calculate with W Y fare for the entire pricing unit and apply CTM check

using W Y fare

2) es tablish whether as a result of 1) above the mixed class sector(s)

a) apply within a fare component, or

b) constitute an entire fare component, or

c) constitute an entire pricing unit

C MIXED CLASS SECTOR(S) WITHIN A FARE COMPONENT

1) if the calculation in the lower class of travel establishes that the mixed class sector(s) fall

within a fare component, the differential for the sector(s) travelled in a higher class shall

be the lowest of the following

a) the difference between the lower class fare for th e sectors flown in the higher class

and the fare for the higher class of travel on those sectors

b) the difference between the applicable fare for the fare component in the lower class

of service and the applicable fare for the fare component in the highe r class of service

if the calculation in the lower class of travel establishes that the mixed class sector(s)

1) if the calculation in the lower class of travel establishes that the mixed class sector(s)

constitute an entire Pricing Un it, the differential shall be the difference between the

applicable fare for the lower class of travel for the Pricing Unit and the applicable fare for

the higher class of travel for the Pricing Unit
