Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Travel agents area of airline website
French term or phrase: PTA non autorisé
This term appears in the section headed "TICKETING", which contains the following list:

• Les tarifs Pass doivent être validés sur la compagnie XX YYY uniquement.
Les éléments tarifaires du billet par personne et le code tarifaire doivent être insérés manuellement dans le masque d'émission, la tarification automatique ne pouvant être utilisée pour le Pass.
• L'itinéraire complet doit être introduit manuellement dans la case « composantes du prix » (Fare calculation Box).
• Certains tarifs Pass étant saisonniers, c'est la date de départ du premier vol qui détermine l'application du prix.
• Lors de l'émission ou en cas de réémission, indiquer dans la case « Endorsement Box » : « tarif soumis à conditions, non modifiable et non remboursable après départ international ».
• La monnaie de base à utiliser est le XXX avec un équivalent « Fare paid » dans votre monnaie de domiciliation.
• Les billets peuvent être émis à condition que tous les vols sont réservés et confirmés
• A l’émission, les informations suivantes doivent apparaître sur le billet :
- Le tarif Hors Taxes
- Le montant total des taxes et surcharges forfaitisés sous le code taxe XX (une seule rubrique taxe à indiquer)
• PTA non autorisé

I have found PTA as 'Plan Tarifaire d'Abonné' but not sure what it means or whether it fits this context.

TIA!

PTA not allowed
Explanation:
While Phil is right about PTA meaning prepaid ticket advice (it's a standard acronym in airline travel), the whole phrase means that PTA cannot be issued for this particular fare type. Furthermore, "PTA not allowed" is a standard wording in airfare descriptions (see e.g. references below)

I would have liked to award the points to philgoddard, since 'PTA' was the nub of the query. However, I feel compelled to award them to you, Anton. Thank you both!

unauthorised PTA


Explanation:
It means prepaid ticket advice. This is where one person pays for a ticket for someone else in a different part of the world. They receive a voucher which they can exchange for a ticket.
