Amadeus exchange shortcut that saves time

In Amadeus, which single command do you use to auto-price a voluntary exchange end-to-end, and how much time does it save on your bench? FXQ followed by TTP/EXCH trims about 30–45 seconds per PNR for us during Monday queue runs, and that small gain keeps clients off hold.

I’ve found forcing the validating carrier in the quote avoids the extra prompt and mis-VC warnings: FXQ/VC-BA (then TTP/EXCH), which trims close to your “30–45 seconds” on interline mixes. Small caveat: if the original was plated elsewhere, I still drop the FO element first so ATC reads it clean. Do you bother with /VC on mixed-plate PNRs, or let ATC decide?

I flag “just under $10k” runs by hashing attachment PDFs; duplicates scream splits, @OP; template reuse happens, so confirm context.

When ATC’s clean, I run FXQ then TTP/EXCH/ITR; pre‑setting FP and a short endorsement (e.g., ‘FE EXCH-ATC’) kills the last prompts and trims another about 20–30s, like skipping two loading screens. @csanders99 your VC add-on pairs well on messy interlines — i still see a stop on a few carriers that insist on a custom FE even with ATC.

Pre‑select pax/segments in FXQ (e.g., FXQ/P1/S2‑3) to skip prompts; stacks on your “30–45 seconds”. Caveat: careful with mixed‑carrier TSTs.

I force the validating carrier in the quote so ATC doesn’t stop to ask — FXQ/FV-BA, then straight to issue — and that shaves about half a minute on those Monday queue runs. , the carrier prompt is the slow bit; @emiller82 do you also hard‑set FV or do you script the chain into a single key?

I lock the booked classes with FXQ/R,U, then TTP/EXCH/ITR; it skips the upsell check and trims about 20–30s, though watch mixed inventories where a class closed overnight. @julia_winter23 have you found ‘R,U’ plus /FV-XX any faster on multi‑carrier ATC?
