Special Spaces Management

About Special Spaces

Special space (further SSP) is a set of passenger seats in cabin operational capacity on a flight segment allocated from free sale for realization on special conditions.

Seats may be sold from SSP even if a free sale class containing this SSP is closed for sale.

A return level is a percent of remaining (not sold out) seats number that is to be returned to free sale space at a specified time before departure.

SSP is configured via a special space agreement. Besides, a special space may be formed and modified via “Create SSP” mass operation.

SSP modification is held out vis mass operations or by changing special space agreement conditions.

The following operations are available in the menu on the Inventory screen (Actions → SSP operations):

• synchronize SSP — apply to a flight all created SSP agreements parameters suitable for this flight, having deleted all other SSP parameters;
• apply to a flight parameters of a specific SSP agreement;
• SSP create — apply a Create SSP mass operation to a specific flight.
• SSP move — apply a SSP Move mass operation to a specific flight.
• SSP params — modify conditions for returning a special space, having applied a SSP Params mass operation to a specific flight.
• Delete SSP - application of terms of the Delete SSP mass operation to the specific flight.

In addition, for special spaces editing of special spaces quotas is available (SSP quota) on the inventory screen, when viewing the parameters of a special space (Space → SSP Name of a special space, for example, Spaces → SSP ABC).

To return to viewing free sale seats, select the “Spaces → Free sale” item on the inventory screen.
