The rail passes are filed as pseudo trains/flights between XZJ (Rail)
and XZP (Pass). When the availability request is made for travel
between these two points at any chosen date, the display will show the
number of available "rail pass trains". Each train represents a rail
pass type as per the table above. The date of travel indicates the date
when the pass validity starts. The booking class F represents green class pass while the booking class Y represents the standard (coach)
class.
From the availability display the pass can be booked and put into a
PNR. Once in the PNR the Pass can be auto priced as any other flight or
train. Each rail pass train has a corresponding fare basis code and a
fare (rail pass price) associated with it. Each rail pass requires only
1 booking. A Rail Pass segment cannot be ticketed with any other
segment. The ticket issued must be exchanged for JR East Pass at
exchange office in Japan within three months of purchase.
Tickets are sold the same way as any regular airline : availability
display, booking, attaching the fare record and finally ticketing - all
are based on the regular PNR.
