Booking Through NCL Across GDS Systems

The same availability check looks different depending on the GDS in front of you. Here's the pattern for a generic search into NCL, using NCL as the destination:

Amadeus:  AN15JULLHRNCL

Galileo:  A/15JUNLHRNCL

Swap in the actual origin code and date for a live search — the structure (date, then city pair) stays the same across systems.
