Amadeus Assist turns the cryptic Amadeus GDS entry language (Master Pricer) into a simple, guided form — so every consultant, from day one, builds the exact entry they mean, without memorising thousands of codes.
Built on verified, official IATA codes — created by a software developer with 12 years' experience alongside a travel agent with 20 years in the industry, not scraped or guessed.

Why agencies need this
Amadeus Master Pricer entries are written in a dense shorthand — origins, dates, cabins, carriers, corporate fares and qualifiers all packed into a single cryptic string. It's powerful, but unforgiving: one wrong airport code, a missed qualifier, or a mistyped date can produce the wrong fare, the wrong routing, or a booking that can't be ticketed as quoted.
When that reaches the airline, the result is often an Agency Debit Memo (ADM) — a charge back to the agency for the error. ADMs commonly run into the hundreds of dollars each, and the worst can reach the thousands. They also cost hours of admin to dispute, and they chip away at the agency's standing with the airline.
The maths adds up fast. A consultant new to the industry might make two or three of these slips a month while they learn. At an illustrative $250 per ADM, that's $500–$750 a month from a single new starter — $6,000–$9,000 a year — before you count the disputes, the reissues and the frustrated clients.
No one memorises 8,000 airports and 1,000 carriers — not the sharpest new hire, and not the 20-year veteran on a bad Friday. Amadeus Assist removes the memory test entirely: pick the airport or airline from a search box, tick the qualifiers you want in plain English, and it writes the correct entry for you.
The near-miss that costs you
The expensive errors are rarely wild guesses — they're the codes that sit one keystroke or one syllable away from the right one. Type it, book it, and it looks fine until the ADM lands.
MCOvsMCI
Orlando · Kansas City
O and I sit right next to each other on the keyboard.
MIAvsMLI
Miami · Moline, Illinois
One letter apart — and 1,200 miles apart.
SJOvsSJC
San José, Costa Rica · San José, California
Same city name, different country — easy to mishear on a call.
MELvsMLB
Melbourne, Australia · Melbourne, Florida
You hear “Melbourne” — but which one, and on which side of the planet?
The typo you can't even see. Depending on the font, a capital I, a lowercase l and the digit 1 are indistinguishable. PIT (Pittsburgh) and PLT (Plato, Colombia) sit one glyph apart — get it wrong and you've routed a client from a major US city to a rural town in Colombia, and it sails straight past a proofread because the characters look the same on screen. When staff pick from a named list instead of typing or eyeballing a code, that whole class of error disappears.
And then there are the codes you simply can't reason your way to: New Orleans is MSY, Toronto is YYZ, Chicago O'Hare is ORD, Montréal is YUL. There's no pattern to lean on — you either know it cold or you look it up, and “pretty sure” is exactly how an ADM gets raised.
Amadeus Assist closes all of these gaps. Because you search by name and the list shows the airport, city and country, you pick “New Orleans (MSY) — United States” without ever needing to recall the code, and Orlando (MCO) never gets confused with Kansas City (MCI). And the reverse look-up decodes any entry back into real city names, so a stray MLI shows as “Moline”, not “Miami” — the mistake is obvious before it's booked.
“Why not just ask ChatGPT or Gemini for the code?” Because a general-purpose AI will answer with total confidence and still be wrong — it will happily invent an airport that doesn't exist. Asked for a South African code recently, one popular assistant returned a made-up airport, then admitted: “that was a hallucination on my part.” A booking system is no place for a confident guess. Amadeus Assist draws only from verified, official IATA data — built by a software developer with 12 years' experience together with a travel agent of 20 years — so the code you get is the code that's real.

How Amadeus Assist helps
Search, don't recall. Type “gatwick” or “sydney” and pick the right airport — the list shows the airport, city and country, so MCO Orlando never gets confused with MCI Kansas City. The full, current lists live in one place your agency controls.
Plain-English qualifiers. Cabin, routing, corporate fares, alliances, connecting points, baggage — choose them from labelled options and see the short code alongside, so entries are consistent no matter who builds them.
Multi-city and per-leg control. Build complex itineraries leg by leg, each with its own qualifiers — the kind of entry that's easiest to fat-finger by hand.
Reverse look-up. Paste an existing entry and it decodes it back into plain English, flagging anything that doesn't look right — a fast way to check a colleague's work or learn the syntax.
Faster ramp-up. New consultants are productive on day one instead of week six, and they absorb the syntax by seeing the code the tool builds.
Getting started
Create your account. Click Log in / Sign up on the builder and register. The very first account at your agency becomes the owner/admin.
Pick your departure and destination. Start typing a city or airport name and choose from the list — no need to know the 3-letter code.
Set your date. The date starts at today; type the day, the month by name or number, and the travel year. A calendar is there too.
Add qualifiers. Open the sections you need — cabin, fare type, airlines, routing, corporate fares — and tick what applies. Each shows its Amadeus short code.
Add more legs if needed. Build multi-city trips and give each leg its own qualifiers.
Copy the entry. Press the copy button and paste the finished Master Pricer entry straight into Amadeus.
Not sure about an entry? Paste it into the reverse look-up to decode and sanity-check it before you send it.
Frequently asked questions
It builds Amadeus Master Pricer (FXD) fare-query entries for you. You describe the trip and the fare conditions in plain English; it assembles the correct cryptic entry to paste into Amadeus. It also decodes existing entries back into plain English.
An Agency Debit Memo is a charge an airline raises against an agency for a ticketing or fare error. Many ADMs trace back to a wrong code or a mis-set qualifier at entry time. By letting consultants pick from searchable lists and labelled options instead of typing raw codes from memory, the tool removes the most common sources of those errors.
No. That's the point. With 8,000+ airports and 1,000+ carriers, nobody holds them all reliably. Staff search by name and select; the tool supplies the correct code every time.
Codes like MCO (Orlando) and MCI (Kansas City) are one adjacent key apart; MIA (Miami) and MLI (Moline) differ by a letter; and names like San José or Melbourne exist in two countries. There are also codes with no logic at all — New Orleans is MSY, Toronto is YYZ. Because staff search by name and see the city and country before selecting — and can decode any finished entry back into plain city names — both the near-misses and the un-guessable ones get caught before they become a chargeable booking.
General AI assistants are built to sound fluent, not to be authoritative on airport codes — they can and do invent codes and airports that don't exist, and state them with full confidence. For a live booking that's a direct route to an ADM. Amadeus Assist uses only verified, official IATA data and was built by a software developer with 12 years' experience alongside a travel agent with 20 years in the industry, so what you get is checked — not guessed.
Official IATA codes, reviewed and maintained by a travel agent with 20 years in the industry (the tool itself built by a software developer with 12 years' experience), and kept current by your own account owner in the admin console. It isn't machine-generated or crowd-sourced.
No — a new consultant can build a valid entry in minutes. Because they see the code the tool produces, they also pick up the Master Pricer syntax naturally as they go.
Yes. Your account owner manages the airport and airline data from the admin console — add, edit, or remove entries so everyone works from one current, agency-approved source.
Yes — corporate/unifare parameters, multi-city routings with per-leg qualifiers, cabins, alliances, connecting-point rules and more are all supported through guided options.
