Queues
Worldspan provides a queue system for the management, sorting and storage of PNRs. The
system is similar to an automated filing cabinet containing PNRs which require handling.
Airlines, car hire companies, hotels, and staff in your office or branch offices can all send PNRs
to the queues. The queue system allows you to sign into and out of queues, place PNRs on a
queue and perform various maintenance functions on the PNRs currently on queue.
Each SID/pseudo city code is assigned a number of queues. The maximum number an agency
can have is 255, plus 1 message queue. Within these, there are some system/reserved queues
with predetermined functions and queues which your agency can customise for internal use.
Each queue may be further sub-divided into categories, and date ranges.
