Advisory Number: PA-4565
Handling flight disruptions is a complex and critical aspect of the airline industry. Within the New Distribution Capability (NDC) ecosystem, this complexity is heightened due to varying airline workflows and diverse business rules, which make disruption management more challenging.
Previously, airline updates to an NDC booking required agents to synchronize the booking via Smartpoint Cloud or the NDC Web Plugin on Smartpoint Desktop. The new NDC Schedule Change process introduces a streamlined approach that automates updates.
To enable the new functionality, agencies should reach out to their Travelport Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Account Manager. Agents will need to be on Smartpoint Desktop 11.7 or higher. Agencies that choose not to opt in will continue to see ZK segment status codes and will not benefit from the enhanced schedule change capabilities.
These enhancements aim to reduce manual intervention and improve disruption handling efficiency.
Agencies consuming NDC content will now have airline disruptions and schedule changes automatically reflected in the NDC booking file.
The original ZK Segment and manual synchronization (PNR Sync) example uses the Flight Search NDC plugin launched from Smartpoint Desktop.

Productivity Automator release 1.34 introduces support for enhanced NDC Flight Disruption capability:
To learn how to opt in, search for: PA-4565: NDC New Flight Disruption — Schedule Change in the Advisory List on MyTravelport.
Important: Productivity Automator continues to support agencies who remain opted out.

New message improves rule clarity and identification.
Travelport+ agencies must update their existing NDC schedule change rules to support the new automated process.

Advisory Number: PA-4579
Productivity Automator release 1.35 introduces a change to the user ID displayed within PNR (Booking File) history for all customers.
This enhancement reinforces security and is the foundation of Cryptic Command — a new action coming in a future release.
Travelport is preparing for the introduction of Cryptic Command. As part of enhanced security, the appearance of the user ID in PNR history is updated.
RCVD-/MAGYEFF CRDT- XXX/PCC/1G AG FF
RCVD-/ZPCCAPI CRDT- XXX/PCC/1G AG WS
The new RCVD line format includes:
No rule changes are required — only the user ID representation changes in the PNR history.
These changes enable the future introduction of the Cryptic Command rule action.

Agencies should note the workflow difference when <strong>HK</strong> is returned vs <strong>ZK</strong>. An AAT update is required to allow NDC <strong>ZK</strong> segments to display as <strong>HK</strong>.

The booking is not created but is saved in cache, and a warning is returned. The client must send a second commit with <code>overrideMCTInd=true</code> to create the booking. If the second commit is not sent, the session remains open for 15 minutes (unless ignored).</p> <p><strong>Example B — First Commit (warning, booking NOT created)</strong></p> <pre><code class="json">{ "ReservationQueryCommitReservation": { "scheduleChangeAcceptedInd": false, "enableTwoStepCommitInd": true, "overrideMCTInd": false } }</code></pre> <p><strong>Example B — Second Commit (override and create booking)</strong></p> <pre><code class="json">{ "ReservationQueryCommitReservation": { "scheduleChangeAcceptedInd": false, "enableTwoStepCommitInd": true, "overrideMCTInd": true } }</code></pre> <p><strong>Example B responses</strong></p> <pre><code>First Commit Response: CONNECTION DURATION SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN MINIMUM CONNECTING TIME.

New Segment Status Display for NDC Air Segments</h2> <p><strong>Advisory Number:</strong> PA-4517</p> <p><strong>High Level Description:</strong> Travelport+ users will see the NDC air segment status in their Booking as HK. This is a change from the current ZK to new HK status in Travelport+ Passive Booking File. <p><strong>Impact Summary:</strong> No new entries, though this change may affect agency workflows when HK is returned vs ZK. An AAT update is required to allow NDC ZK segments to display as HK.</p> <p><strong>Overview:</strong> When Opted-IN, Travelport+ users will see the NDC air segment status in their Booking as HK. This change from the current ZK to HK status in the Travelport+ Passive Booking File aligns our system more closely with industry standards and improves overall booking accuracy. Agencies can opt in by contacting their Travelport Account Manager or Customer Success Manager.</p> <p><strong>Customer Benefit:</strong> The ZK to HK transition, for NDC Segments, serves as a crucial foundation for our upcoming improvements around Order Change Notification (OCN) related to flight disruption management system and other notifications from the Airline(s) to keep Orders synchronized between Travelport+ and the Airline(s) system. This update prepares our platform for the implementation of airline reply/advice/status codes handling, such as but not limited to UN (Unable-flight doesn't operate) and TK (Confirming/Holds confirmed-Advise passenger of a new scheduled times/details), enhancing our ability to manage flight disruptions effectively. A separate advisory will be released at a later date describing all the improvements around this area. With the implementation of HK status, we anticipate a smoother and more efficient hand-off to back office operations. This improvement will streamline workflows and reduce potential errors in booking management.</p> <p>This change will benefit users of both Smartpoint Desktop and Smartpoint Cloud. Users will need to be on Smartpoint Desktop v11.7 or higher in order to be able to use the N indicator to open the Flight Search Plugin to service the booking. This change is available on v11.7, released on the 24th April and all future versions.</p> <p> <a href="https://travelportprod.service-now.com/mytravelport_support?id=advisory&table=sn_publications_publication&sys_id=e172a18a3b75665479673a0eb3e45ab4" target="_blank"> View Full Advisory Online </a> </p> </div> <!-- Separator Line --> <div class="w3-container" style="margin-top: 20px;" id="IndiGoStretch"> <h2 class="w3-xxxlarge w3-text-itq"><b>3.
