Introduction

The TicketVoid transaction serves the purpose to void an existing ticket. The ticket to void is specified by its 13 digit ticket number. If the ticket specified is part of a conjunctive set, all tickets belonging to the set are voided.

In addition to the ticket number, the following data is required:

  • the record locator of the PNR the ticket was issued for
  • the IATA number and pseudo city code of the agency requesting the void
