T-Things A-a T-Traveler S-Should K-Know
By the way, I have been working in the travel industry for more than a decade now, and let me share with you some tips a traveler or frequent traveler should know. These are some flight segment status codes that are reflected on your ticket or into your online booking that will guide you in your flight. However, this would be of great help for Travel Agents who wanted to widen their knowledge in reading a passenger's ticket.
