Passenger Type Codes

H/PTC

New industry 3 character PTCs and descriptions defined by ATPCO have been introduced in January 2005. 
Initially they will co-exist with Galileo 2 character passenger description codes. These codes will will act as
modifiers for both fare Display and Fare Quote entries.
Once GALILEO 360DEGREE FARES implementation is complete and the next release of Viewpoint with all 
3 letter PTCs becomes available, then all 2 character codes will be removed.
