An airline's revenue accounting team audits the tickets your agency issues, and bills you for what it finds. Our airfare auditing and fare filing team runs those checks first — negotiated and net fares loaded as the contract says, fare rules checked in the PNR before issue, and tickets, reissues and refunds audited after. Errors turn up in your queue, not on an ADM.

Delivery Philippines-based fare and ticketing specialists working in your GDS, fare management tools and mid-office system, under your credentials and access rules.

An ADM Is a Fare Error Somebody Else Found

Most agency debit memos trace back to something checkable. A booking class the fare did not allow. A reissue priced on the original rules instead of the new ones. A tax or commission that does not match the ticket. A net fare loaded at the wrong level. The airline's audit finds it after the traveler has flown — by then the margin is gone and the memo is due.

The other expensive error never arrives as a memo. A corporate client with a negotiated fare is sold the public one, because the contract was never loaded or quietly expired, and the client notices first.

Both are the same problem: fares nobody checked against the rules and the contract they were meant to follow.

What the Fare Team Checks

Fare management requires accurate information from the moment a fare is loaded to the moment a ticket is audited. Our specialists support travel businesses with fare reviews, data validation, discrepancy identification, filing assistance, and ADM review while working within your established systems and procedures.

Fare Audit & Discrepancy Review

Review issued tickets, reissues, and refunds to identify discrepancies between expected and recorded pricing, fare conditions, booking classes, taxes, commissions, and other approved fare components. Specialists document exceptions and escalate issues according to your established procedures.

Negotiated & Net Fare Filing

Load and maintain negotiated, net, and private fares from your airline contracts in your GDS or fare management tool, with the validity dates, tour codes, and commissions each contract specifies. Specialists identify missing, expired, or inconsistent fares for review.

Fare Rule & Booking Validation

Review fare rules, booking classes, routing conditions, restrictions, ticketing requirements, and other applicable information against established booking procedures. Teams help identify potential mismatches before the ticket is issued.

ADM Review & Dispute Support

Review agency debit memos against the ticket and the fare rules they cite. Specialists document valid ADMs by cause and prepare supporting evidence for the ones your team decides to dispute.

Works Inside the Systems You Already Use

No disconnected fare records. No unnecessary re-entry. No fragmented booking workflows.

Our travel operations specialists work within your existing GDS, fare management tools, ticketing systems, ARC or BSP memo portals, and other approved operational environments. Teams follow your procedures for fare validation, filing, ADM review, discrepancy handling, ticketing support, and escalation.

 

This keeps fare-related activities connected to the appropriate booking or operational record instead of requiring your internal team to manually reconcile information across multiple systems.

 

Customer-facing booking support — inquiries, itinerary changes, and cancellations — is handled by our travel agency outsourcing team.

 

Ticket issuance, queue management and document processing sit alongside this work in our travel back office outsourcing service.

Cost Reduction

Reduce the staffing burden associated with repetitive fare reviews, booking validation, data checks, filing support, and reservation-related workflows. Outsourcing provides additional operational capacity without requiring your business to permanently expand its internal mid-office team.

Improved Fare Accuracy

Structured review processes help identify inconsistencies between fare information, booking records, applicable rules, and other approved data points. Specialists can document discrepancies and route exceptions for further investigation.

Fewer ADMs

Errors caught before a ticket is issued never become debit memos. Pre-ticketing checks and regular audits help reduce ADM volume and the time your team spends disputing them.

Coverage Through Peak Season

Fare reviews, filing, and ticket audits continue at the same depth through peak travel periods — when volume, reissues, and ADM exposure all rise.

Travel Operations Specialists

Our specialists can be trained around your GDS workflows, fare procedures, booking classes, validation requirements, ticketing processes, escalation rules, and quality standards. They follow your established procedures and know when an issue requires additional review.

Decisions Stay With Your Team

Specialists flag what they find and document it. Decisions on waivers, disputes, and exceptions stay with your ticketing lead.

Compliance and Data Security, Built In

Fare auditing and fare filing operations can involve passenger information, reservation records, ticketing details, fare data, negotiated fare contracts, payment-related information, and other sensitive business information. Magellan Solutions follows documented security, confidentiality, access-control, and business-continuity practices designed to protect information handled by our travel operations teams.

Controlled Data Access

Enforceable Confidentiality

Every employee signs a confidentiality agreement before job assignment. Access to passenger, reservation, fare, ticketing, and airline contract information is limited to the teams responsible for the account.

Continuity You Can Count On icon
Continuity You Can Count On

Continuous data backup, off-site copies, backup-center planning, and power-blackout protection help maintain fare auditing, fare filing, and ticket audit operations when unexpected circumstances affect normal business activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does airfare auditing include?
Airfare auditing can include reviewing issued tickets, reissues, refunds, fare rules, booking classes, pricing details, taxes, commissions, routing conditions, and ticketing requirements to identify discrepancies before they become ADMs.
Can your team support airline fare filing?
Yes. Our specialists can load and maintain negotiated, net, and private fares from your airline contracts, and review them against your established filing procedures and requirements.
Can you review fare discrepancies?
Yes. Specialists can compare applicable fare and booking information, identify potential discrepancies, document exceptions, and escalate issues according to your established workflow.
Do you audit for airlines or for agencies?
For agencies — the side that issues tickets and receives ADMs. We check your fares and tickets before the airline's revenue accounting does, and help you respond to the memos it raises. We don't audit agency sales on an airline's behalf.
Who submits ADM disputes?
Your team, by default. Specialists check each memo against the ticket and the fare rules it cites and prepare the evidence for the ones worth disputing. Submission through ARC or BSP stays under your agency's credentials.
Can you provide support for multiple airlines?
Yes. Workflows can be structured around the airlines, fare processes, systems, and operational requirements included in your engagement.
