The display module in the GDSs allow differentiating the offer of the system through Branded Fares, which include the following information:
- name of the Branded Fare
- services and whether they are paid or not
- base fare conditions
The upsell module will show in order the possible fares and the included services. A teaser will clearly show the difference between the lowest possible fare for the reservation and the following Branded Fares and what they include. In this way it is easy to demonstrate to the customer the advantages that can often have a small difference, for example with regard to luggage, which will be more advantageous to include in the fare sooner than to pay at the time of check-in.
Economy booking classes (RBD) can be issued in any product - Plus, Classic, Basic or Discount, just as business class booking classes (RBD) can be issued in any Business class product - TopExecutive or Executive.
For example, a "W" can be a tap|plus product, just as a "Y" can be a tap|discount product.
When you select a class of the chosen flight and request the fare for this class, you will see that the various fare bases for that same class will appear.
For example, in a Lisbon-São Paulo flight, selecting the class "M", these are the fare bases that may be presented for the economy cabin, each one with a different value:
MPTPUI0B
MPTCLI0B
MPTBSI0B
MPTDSI0B

In the Fare Basis the acronyms "TTI", "EXI", "PUI", "CLI", "BSI" and "DSI" of Long Haul fares mean:
