Minimum information required to file a fare in a GDS
I would like to know how an airline files it's fare with a GDS (Global Distribution System), e.g. Sabre. What are the minimum of pieces of information required in case to file a fare with say Sabre? If someone could elaborate on this, it would be very helpful.
Edit I did a bit of reading on this, and I've think they go through companies like ATPCO or SITA, but still I would like to know what the airline needs to provide to these companies to file a fare.
