How to enter a name for a child or an infant (Cryptic)

Procedure

For children between 2 and 11 years old, use the CHD passenger type code.
For infants up to 2 years old, use the INF passenger type code.

  • To enter a child's name, enter, for example:
    NM1SIMPSON/MAGGIE(CHD/02JAN24)
    Entry Description
    NM1SIMPSON Name transaction code, followed by the number of passengers and passenger last name
    MAGGIE(CHD/02JAN24) Child's first name, open parenthesis, child's passenger type code, slash, child's date of birth DDMMMYY, close parenthesis

    System response:
     1.SIMPSON/MAGGIE(CHD/02JAN24)

  • To enter one adult and one child with the same last name, enter, for example:
    NM2JONES/TOM MR/CANDY(CHD/05APR24)
    Entry Description
    NM2JONES Name transaction code, followed by the number of passengers and passenger last name
    /TOM MR Slash (/), followed by the adult's first name and title
    /CANDY(CHD/05APR24) Slash (/), followed by the child's first name, open parenthesis, child's passenger type code, slash, child's date of birth DDMMMYY, close parenthesis

    System response:
    1.JONES/CANDY MS(CHD/05APR24)   2.JONES/TOM MR

  • If the child has a different last name, you can enter the names separately or with a single entry. For example, enter: 
    NM1JONES/TOM MR 1SIMPSON/MAGGIE(CHD/02JAN24)

    System response:

    1.JONES/TOM MR   2.SIMPSON/MAGGIE(CHD/02JAN24)
    
    Note: When you enter the CHD passenger type code, an SSR element is generated to inform the airline that the passenger is a child.

  • To create a manual SSR for the child, enter, for example:
    SRCHLD-02JAN24/P2


  • To enter an infant with a seat (INS), enter, for example:
    NM1JONES/JANE(INS)

    When you enter the name of an infant with a seat, add an SRINFT with the date of birth. Enter, for example:
    SRINFTAF-BRONSON/MARK DOB 12MAY24/P1

    System response:

  • To enter an infant not occupying a seat, associated to an adult, enter, for example:
    NM1JONES/JOHN MR(INF/DANIELLA/14JAN24)

    System response:
     1.JONES/JOHN MR(INF/DANIELLA/14JAN24)
  • If the infant has a different last name, enter the last name after the INF passenger type code. For example, enter:
    NM1JONES/JOHN(INFSIMPSON/DANIELLA/14JAN24)

    System response:

    1.JONES/JOHN(INFSIMPSON/DANIELLA/14JAN24)
  • To add the name of an infant to an adult passenger with a different last name, enter, for example:
    1/(INFSIMPSON/DANIELLA/14JAN24)
     

  • To add an infant to an adult with the same last name, enter, for example:
    1/(INF/KEVIN/20FEB24)
