Agency EMD Expectations:

  • EMDs are refundable in cases of involuntary or voluntary itinerary changes only.  If the itinerary does not change then all paid EMDs are non-refundable and the travel agent will be issued a debit memo for improperly refunded EMDs.
  • EMDs are not interlineable, endorsable or exchangeable.
  • It is the travel agent’s responsibility to reassociate an EMD if it becomes disassociated.
  • If the travel agent refunds or voids an EMD, it is that travel agent’s responsibility to remove the associated ancillary (AE).
  • If the travel agent cancels the underlying segment, the AE will automatically be removed.
