Answer
As a Travel Agent, you can issue a TASF transaction through your GDS as soon as you issue the Airline ticket.

The cardholder will see the 2 transactions (the ticket and the service fee) on their statement.

The major GDS's (Amadeus, Travelport (Apollo, Galileo, Worldspan), Sabre and Farelogix) support the TASF functionality.

The TASF will appear on the Agent Billing Analysis report as a credit under Airline code 954 and will be included in the BSP billing settlement.

The TASF cost includes:
  • credit card discount rate
  • BSP processing cost
  • IATA TASF GDS charge (where applicable - for Travelport and Amadeus).
The costs will be processed once a month through an SPDR (generating an invoice in pdf).

You’ll also receive 2 reconciliation files in TXT and ASCII format with the TASF transaction details.
