7. The result in using YY fares is often a very high fare, disproportionate to the average commercial fare on the sector.

8. These YY fares will cease in november 2018, so we have to future-proof ID50.

9. Result = under/over collection
Unrestricted Fares, other than YY, do exist and can be used, but may not exist in every market and on every route, so concurring partners often have difficulty in finding the correct fare to use to calculate ID50.
Result = under/over collection

10. Restricted Fares are mostly carrier fares with restrictions, such as:
Travel period
Sales allowed for certain agents only
Specific markets only or some markets excluded
Mostly non-refundable, with penalties for changes

11. This does not meet our requirements.
Carriers can allow ID50 from restricted fares, but some carriers insist that the fare conditions must follow the original fare rules.
This does not meet our requirements.

12. In Appendix Fares – Section D.3.a says:
“ID50/IDMH Duty Travel or Crew Deadheading  > 
Members may bilaterally agree to a 50% discount off the Transporting Airline's lowest applicable unrestricted or IDMH zonal fare for confirmed space travel in business  or economy class”
So – if the Transporting Airline does not have an unrestricted economy fare at all, what then?

13. What concurring partners will have to do is:
Be specific as to the fare types to use for ID50 and determine the booking class. Or

14. Remove ID50 as a ZMF option and, as with leisure travel, retain mileage based fares only.
