What does "PAX" mean on a Qatar Airways flight ticket?

Typically, PAX=passenger, but in that case I don't understand why the ticket says "passenger" there.

  • My guess is that the data shown is parsed from standardised rules included in the ticket or the fare rules and the parsing went wrong. Or the original formatting of that text. – jcaron Jun 10 '21 at 23:01
  • FYI You show an image as supporting information about your question about Qatar airlines. That is sufficient. But then you add in a link to a PDF hosted on a government site in the country of Georgia, and to a random link shortener. Those links are totally unnecessary and potentially problematic and IMHO should be removed. – Peter M Jun 11 '21 at 00:28
  • Does this answer your question? What does "C1-4 NON END" mean on a Qatar Airways flight ticket? – Greg Hewgill Jun 11 '21 at 00:45
  • @GregHewgill no, that question doesn't address PAX – Franck Dernoncourt Jun 11 '21 at 02:28
  • @PeterM it's best practice to mention the sources of images. Also someone may wish to view the entire flight ticket to try to understand. – Franck Dernoncourt Jun 11 '21 at 02:28

    Wait, that's not even your own ticket? You just found a ticket image somewhere on the internet and are asking multiple questions about the exact notations that happen to be printed on the ticket? You can't possibly have knowledge of the exact terms under which that ticket was purchased. I don't think this sort of hypothetical question is suitable here. – Greg Hewgill Jun 11 '21 at 02:52
  • @GregHewgill I had the same mention on my last QR ticket. We can now focus on the question? – Franck Dernoncourt Jun 11 '21 at 03:02

    I read the line as saying Passenger Ticket, Coupons 1-4, Non-endorsable, Change Penalties Apply as per Rule. /shrug What penalties did you have to pay when you did not use your ticket and didn't cancel it within the time-frame allowed? Oh... you didn't do this, it isn't a problem you are trying to solve. hmmmm – CGCampbell Jun 11 '21 at 14:30
  • @CGCampbell What's the point of saying Passenger Ticket on a flight ticket? Are there non-passenger tickets? – Franck Dernoncourt Jun 11 '21 at 16:10

    It's not restating that it is a passenger ticket. It's saying the ticket goes by the rules of change penalties as apply to a passenger ticket with 4 coupons. Why is this so hard to understand and what does it matter? – CGCampbell Jun 11 '21 at 17:06
  • OR it is stating that the passenger ticket, including the parts 1-4, all have that rule applied. – CGCampbell Jun 11 '21 at 17:13
  • @CGCampbell are you asking why understanding the content of a flight ticket matters? You're making a good point. Anyway, too bad you edited the ellipses out of your previous comment.. – Franck Dernoncourt Jun 11 '21 at 17:17

Short answer: PAX=passenger, and the ticket says "passenger" there because the entire line "PAX /C1-4 NON END/CHNG PENALTIES AS PER RULE" was copied from the Amadeus program (which mentions PAX).

Looking at the Amadeus training manual (Jan. 2012), the PAX line comes from Amadeus:

and PAX means passenger:

Additionally, Locutus_WPC mentioned on Reddit:

In this context PAX probably refers to an adult passenger. Would’ve said CHD or INF if describing a child or infant fare.
