Ticketing

NDC ticketing without hiding the operational details

NDC ticketing depends on airline setup, payment method, agency credentials, and market rules. NDCTerm keeps the agent workflow visible from offer selection through order and ticket status.

Ticketing setup matters

Agents searching for NDC access often need to know whether they can issue under their own accreditation, a host, or a partnership. The right answer depends on onboarding and carrier setup.

What agents should expect

Accreditation is case-specific

Tickets issue under an accredited agency or partnership setup determined during onboarding.

Payment depends on carrier setup

Card, agency payment, or other methods depend on airline capability and commercial arrangement.

Status should be visible

Agents need clear order and ticket status after booking so follow-up work is not guesswork.

NDC and EDIFACT can coexist

Some tickets belong in NDC, others in traditional channels depending on itinerary and agency requirements.

FAQ

>Do I need ARC or IATA for NDC ticketing?+

Ticketing requires an accredited setup, but that can vary by agency, host, partnership, and market. NDCTerm handles this during onboarding rather than pretending one answer fits every agency.

>Can NDCTerm ticket every airline?+

No. Ticketing depends on the carriers and workflows enabled for the agency.

>Is booking the same as ticketing?+

No. Booking creates or confirms the order. Ticketing is the issuance step and depends on carrier and payment setup.
