On the SERV CARR ID field on the IAR Financial Details screen, to what does it relate?

• A. The airline's internal carrier code for ticketing.
• B. The GDS providing the automated ticketing service.
• C. The GDS provider's support desk contact.
• D. The ARC internal system field for service.

Answer: (B)

This field addresses which GDS is handling the automated ticketing for the ticket in the IAR Financial Details. The SERV CARR ID identifies the service carrier associated with the GDS that issues the ticket, linking the ticketing activity to the correct distribution system (such as Amadeus, Sabre, or another GDS). It’s not about the airline’s internal ticketing code, nor a GDS support desk contact, nor an ARC internal field—it's specifically the GDS providing the automated ticketing service. This helps ARC track and reconcile tickets by the system that issued them.
