Amadeus is a global distribution system (GDS) that travel agencies and airlines use to search availability, book flights, hotels and cars, build passenger name records (PNRs), price fares and issue tickets. Agents work either with cryptic entries or with the graphic interface in Amadeus Selling Platform Connect.

A PNR needs at least a passenger name, an itinerary, a contact element and a ticketing arrangement, and a received-from entry when the transaction is ended. Special service requests, remarks and form of payment are added as needed.

No. It is an independent practice test written to the publicly available Amadeus GDS content outline for 2026 and 2027, for checking your readiness before you book the real exam. Passing earns a Science of Apps certificate rather than the official credential.
