As for MIBA tkts (duty travel confirmed: S1 or C1) agreed to be issued via AMADEUS, please note that:
This new product implies a better validation of the e-tkt , namely obliges the user to insert e-tkt info with segment and pax relation, in order to consider the e-tkt as trusted.
So, whenever you need to change a date for a flight booking , in case you do not have reservation or in case you need to change dates, the normal process you used, inserting only fhe , is no longer sufficient in order to consider the reservation as trusted.
