GDS Air

GDS Air covers a range of different GDS where corporate TMCs in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United States of America can find and book Eurostar (9F) services. In the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands you will need to request ticketing authority for your IATA number.

Now that Eurostar and Thalys have joined forces under the Eurostar name, we’re making some changes to our travel classes. From 4 November, our current classes are becoming Eurostar Standard, Eurostar Plus and Eurostar Premier.

Booking 9F and ticketing with our interlining partner Hahn Air

Booking from outside of the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the USA?

Don’t forget it is possible to book Eurostar in your GDS and ticket via our interlining agreement with Hahn Air.

You can still plate on Hahn Air stock in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands if you do not meet the criteria for a 9F (Eurostar – 814) BSP plate (£10 000 / €10 000)

 

See below our simple “How to book” steps below:

  • Eurostar is displayed on your GDS Air just like an Airline via our own Airline carrier code “9F”.
  • You can check fares and price PNRs just as you would any Airline in your GDS Air.
  • Book “9F” subject to availbility for any of our routes.
  • When ticketing simply plate your ticket on HR/169 – Hahn Air.
  • After booking, the passenger or agent can collect the boarding pass from our website – just go to Eurostar.com and click on “Manage your Booking”. You can enter the vendor locator and passenger surname to view the booking and print or download the Eurostar boarding pass.
Disruption

The following options will be available when Eurostar authorises GDS Air agents to exchange tickets free of charge.

  • Reissues can be completed within the same PNR before departure; simply process a ‘nil value’ exchange with no additional charge.
  • All rebookings will need to be issued within 60 days after the date of travel.
  • If the original booking class is not available, book the next available fare bucket within the same travel class.
  • If you wish to rebook at a later date you will need to apply for a refund of the original booking via BSP link.
  • When completing the refund application, please state the reason (example: cancellation / weather conditions / strike) in the notes box and also include the 9F PNR otherwise your application will be rejected.

Please do NOT claim an e-voucher on behalf of the passenger, as e-vouchers are not compatible with GDS Air systems.

See the disruption guide in our useful documents for more details.
