Encode and Decode & Conversion

Amadeus uses CODES to represent locations, airlines,

information, special requests etc. in the entries you
use in Amadeus and the displays that are returned to
you.
Therefore you need to be able to interpret the codes
you see and use.
 What is Encode and Decode?
The encode and decode transactions allow you to:
• display the code for a full name that you enter
• display the full name for a code that you enter
• in some cases, display a full list of codes of a certain type
There are different encode/decode transactions, according to the
code/type of name you want to look up. You can encode and
decode:
• locations (countries, cities, states)
• companies (airlines, hotels)
• equipment (aircraft)
