Class Mismatch
A class mismatch occurs when a ticket is issued in one class and the booking is in a different class. The class in your customer’s booking must match the class shown on their ticket.
What Happens if there is a Class Mismatch?
If a class mismatch is detected, two SSR messages will be generated to your customer’s booking advising you to correct the error.
SSR Message | Description of SSR Message | Example |
First Message | The first SSR message is sent when the class mismatch is detected. | 'TKT CLASS DOES NOT MATCH BKG CLASS - PLEASE CHECK CORRECT' |
Second Message | If the class mismatch is not corrected a second SSR message is sent 72 hours prior to departure. | 'TKT CLASS DOES NOT MATCH BKG CLASS - PLEASE CHECK AND CORRECT PRIOR TO DEPARTURE OR RISK ADM' |
