Galileo Information System (GIS)

The Galileo Information System (GIS) is an automated information system which is
flexible, fully indexed and available to all Galileo users.
GIS is structured like a book. It has an index containing a list of chapters, and each
chapter contains pages. You may not be able to display all pages listed as some of
the pages been withdrawn. Information displayed may vary in different markets and
locations
To display the GIS index to view the list of subjects and chapter numbers: GG
To display the content of chapter 509: GC*509
To display page 1, WHAT IS TIMATIC: GC*509/1
Page 27
When you become familiar with the contents of GIS, you can bypass the index and
go directly to required information by specifying both chapter and page number in
your entry, e.g. GC*509/1.
Many airlines have their own chapters in GIS which are not displayed in the index.
They use these to provide information about their services, procedures and special
promotions.
Note: Information is loaded directly into the system by the airline. Many Airlines
now direct you to their Web site, which is more up to date.
The following are sample entries.

The date they wish to travel
Where they are travelling from
Where they are travelling to
When the customer contacts you to make their initial enquiry, they may not be clear
about the type of journey they wish to make, whether it is by rail or air or road or
whatever. You must take control of the conversation and ask specific questions to
establish this information.
When you have established that their plans involve air travel, use the Galileo system
to check for flight schedules and availability of seats.
Objectives
At the end of this module you will be able to:
Check flight availability
Work with a timetable display
Book an itinerary
Check minimum connecting times
Check local time

Air Availability
Smartpoints standard availability responses come from the direct carrier link. Agents
are no longer required to access the Carrier Inside Link (A12SEPLONDEN*BA) to
validate last seat availability before selling.
Smartpoint shows all classes of service offered in a single expanded display. There is
no need to remember complicated follow up entries.
Smartpoint uses standard Galileo entries to display availability, pricing and ticketing. In
addition all main displays are supported by highlighting.
There is no need to remember complicated follow on transactions. Just point and
click to sell flights, access airport, terminal, equipment and flight duration
information.
Hovering over the following data elements shows:
Blue font items: Performs decode on airport, carrier, codeshare and
equipment.
Flight Numbers: Supplies terminal and elapsed flying time information.
More Flights link: Returns more air availability. ALT + M can be entered instead of
clicking with the mouse.
Note: clicking on the More Flights link does not remove the original 16 flights options.
The agent can scroll up and down to view all availability options that have been
displayed.
You may check flight availability in the Galileo system for 330 days from todays
date.

Galileo and for each specific country.
Prior/Next Day Search

Page 39
Dates and number of passengers can be changed after an initial availability is

performed via the Availability Modifier toolbar. This allows agents to quickly access the
same availability request for the following/prior day or for a different number of
passengers up to nine.
Outbound/Return Availability
Smartpoint enables agents to search for outbound and return flights in a single
transaction. In response to such a request, outbound and return availability displays are
shown using the upper and lower Terminal Partitions. Agents can book both the
outbound and return segments in a single entry or click on the booking class to sell:
Both screens show the Prior/Next Day toolbar to navigate forward or back and select
the quantity of passengers.
Outbound/Return Availability is displayed from a single entry using a ++ symbol .

Galileo Sequencing
Flights shown in Galileo flight availability are displayed chronologically, but there are
sequencing rules. The Galileo system displays flights in the following sequence:
Direct flights
Transfer connections
Direct flights
A direct flight is a service that has the same flight number from origin to destination.
It may be non-stop, or it may route via other cities before it reaches its destination.
The number of stops made by a direct stopping flight is shown in the availability
display between the city pair. Refer to the following flight availability for travel from
Singapore to Washington
Page 42
Displaying Flight Details

The location of intermediate stopping points may be found by clicking on the 1
between the Departure and Arrival airport
Page 43
Transfer Connections
A transfer connection is a journey requiring a change of aircraft or flight number at an
intermediate point. The city or airport where the change of aircraft takes place is
referred to as the transfer point.
A transfer between flights of the same airline is referred to as an on-line transfer, and
a transfer between flights of different airlines is referred to as an interline transfer.

Selling Seats on Transfer Connections

When your customer is transferring from one flight to another at a connecting city,
you must sell all relevant flights from the availability display.
Refer to the following flight availability display for travel from Sydney to Mumbai,
showing various connections.
Waitlisting Flights
Waitlisting is a system used within the airline industry when flights and booking
classes do not have seats available. It is quite common for passengers to cancel
confirmed seats prior to departure, so airlines maintain a list of passengers who wish
to be confirmed if seats become available.
If the status of the flight your passenger wants is waitlist only, when you make an
entry to sell seats, your passenger is waitlisted. If the airline is able to subsequently
confirm the seat, they advise you by changing the status code in the itinerary and
updating the Booking File.
Page 53
Checking Minimum Connecting Times

The time required to transfer from one flight to another may vary depending on
whether a passenger is flying on an international or domestic flight, or whether he is
transferring from one airport to another, or from one terminal to another.
A minimum connecting time is agreed and published for each airport by IATA, and is
the shortest period of time that may be allowed to transfer between flights, taking into
account all factors. All transfer connections shown in a Galileo availability display
adhere to the published minimum connecting time.
You can be sure that flights offered as connections on an availability display adhere
to minimum connecting times, but when you build an itinerary over a connecting
point, you can check that the connecting time is valid.

Building a Booking File

Five mandatory fields are required to complete a Booking File. If all five fields are
not present you will not be able to end transaction on the Booking File.
The mandatory fields are:
Phone
Received from (whom you have spoken to)
Itinerary
Name/s of passenger/s
Ticketing information
Travelport Smartpoint apps provides user with the assistance of a customer

information mask to add, modify and delete customer details.
For new booking, launch the Customer information under the PNR and update the
name accordingly.
Page 57
The name, mileage number, phone field, addresses field, ticketing field, form of
payment field and email field can be added at initial stage of booking for faster and
easier booking creation. Or after booking is done to add, modify & delete.
Page 58
Entering the Name Field

The Booking File must contain the names of all passengers for whom you are
making reservations. You must include infants, even though they do not occupy a
seat. A maximum of 99 passenger names may be included in a Booking File.
Point to note:
If you have more than 9 passengers travelling together in a Booking File, it is
considered a group booking, and seats must be requested from the airline.
When making airline reservations or issuing tickets, the passenger name is
added in a specific format:
Family name, first name, title
Use recognised titles, such as Mr, Mrs, Ms, etc.
Do not use hyphens or spaces
The passenger name that you enter into the Booking File must be exactly the
same as the name shown in the passengers passport.
The maximum number of characters in a name item is 55, including any
Separators and status.
Refer to GC*439/1 for carrier specific detail.
When multiple carriers are involved in one booking, the most restrictive
characters should apply.
Page 59
Passenger Type Codes

When names are added into a Booking File, with the exception of infants, the
Galileo system makes an assumption that all passengers are adults. When
storing a fare in the Galileo Booking File previously, you would need to specify
the passenger type code to obtain the relevant discount on the adult fare.
It is now possible to add details of the passenger type code to the name field
which will simplify the fare quote process.
See H/PTC for a full listing of Passenger Type Codes used in the Galileo system
You may enter passenger names into the Galileo system individually, or combined
into one entry. Name field entries begin with N.

Name Remarks
A name remark may be added to a passenger name so that additional information
will print on a paper ticket to act as an alert for airline check-in staff.
Children and infants
A child is defined as a person who has reached their 2nd birthday but not their 12th
birthday. When you add a childs name, include the title MSTR for a boy or Miss for
a girl.
Cryptic Entry:

years
Points to note:
A name remark may be added to any passenger name. Other examples
could be the date of birth for a youth passenger, DOB 10JUN90 or COUR to
identify a commercial courier.
When an infant is added to a Booking File, a servicing message is
automatically sent to all airlines included in the itinerary.
When a correct child remark is entered, a CHILD SSR is automatically added
to the booking file.
When an e-ticket is issued, name remarks are not communicated to the
airline, so it is important that an appropriate SSR is added to the Booking File.
The age of the child is stored as a passenger type code, and the Galileo
system will quote an appropriate child fare at the time of fare quote.
Page 61
After the first name is entered you can use the mask to add subsequent name items
onto the customer mask. Click on the name and the customer information mask will
pop up.
To add other passengers name, click on the Add button and update the name field
accordingly and click save.
Adding a Child name item

CHILD SSR
When child details are stored as a passenger type code, the Galileo system
automatically generates an SSR CHLD when you end the Booking File. This
transmits information to the airlines in the itinerary to advise that a child is travelling.
Adding an infant name item

Enter the infant name, input the infants date of birth on the name remark field.and
check on the infant box.

Retrieving a Booking File

Once you end transaction on a Booking File it is stored in the Galileo database.
There are various ways to subsequently retrieve the Booking File from the system for
review or further update.
Note: Although the booking may still be displayed on your screen it is no longer
"live" in your work area.
The Galileo system secures your Booking Files to your agency by using your office
pseudo city code. Other agencies are not able access your passengers bookings.
Those agencies that have more than one office location have a different pseudo city
code for each, but are group coded by the Galileo system. This allows you to
retrieve Booking Files from your own pseudo city, or any pseudo city (branch office)
with which your office is group coded.
Booking Files may be retrieved by:
Family name

Working with Itineraries

You will often need to modify the itinerary in a Booking File. The passenger may
request a change because of business requirements, or for personal reasons.
Additionally, you may need to change the itinerary yourself to amend a booking class
code, or to obtain a link guarantee.

Direct Selling a Flight

You can sell seats on a flight without first obtaining an availability display. When a
passenger frequently travels on the same flight, or you have recently checked flight
schedules, you do not necessarily need to check availability each time you book,
because you know the flight number.
Use a direct sell entry to make a reservation on frequently booked flights.
Take the following step to sell 2 seats in Y class on Virgin Atlantic (VS) flight 7 on 8
December, from London Heathrow to Los Angeles.

be issued.
Enter an open segment in an itinerary to indicate that the passenger intends to fly
that sector, but has yet to make a reservation.
Refer to the following Booking File. The passenger is travelling on business and has

Passive Segments
Passive segments are held in a Galileo booking file for information and ticketing
purposes only.
For example, your passenger may make reservations directly with an airline, but as
they have an account with your travel agency they want you to issue their ticket. In
order to issue a ticket in the Galileo system, there must be a Booking File.
Enter a passive segment to issue a ticket for your customer.
Refer to the following flight availability.

Dividing a Booking File

Reservations for more than one passenger are often made in the same Booking File,
and it sometimes happens subsequently that one or more of them needs to make a
change to their travel plans.
It is not possible to have different flight reservations for individual passengers in the
same Booking File, so those passengers that need something different must be
divided from the original Booking File.
The recommendation is that each Booking File should contain only one passenger
name, thus eliminating any need to divide a booking, but there are many occasions
when it is inevitable that more than one passenger is included in the same Booking
File.
The following procedure must be followed to divide out a passenger, and the division
must be completed before any changes are made to the flight reservations.
Divide procedure
The following is the procedure to divide passengers from a Booking File.

Important Points to note:

The header line displays a warning message that the Booking File may not be
modified - it must be filed and the divide completed before any changes may
be made.
A Divided Bookings Exist field is created.
A notepad item is automatically created, advising the date and time of the
divide action, and record locator of the original Booking File.
The original airline record locator stays with the undivided passenger in the
original Booking File.
Retrieved the booking files and ensure that a different airline record locator is
returned for the divided booking file/s.
If the airline record locator is the same, do contact the airline to ensure that a
different airline record locator is returned before any amendments to the
booking as it may cause the cancellation of the entire reservation.
Page 91
If no airline locator returned, enter the following request to the airline

1) V.Axx*DIVIDED BOOKING PLEASE ADVISE NEW LOCATOR
(replace the xx with the carrier code)
2) Add a received from field
3) End transaction.
Do not attempt to modify the booking before the airline acknowledged the
split/divide booking with the new airline record locator in *VL as it may cause
the cancellation of the entire reservation.
The newly created Divided Bookings Exist field contains the appropriate name and
record locator of the other Booking File. You may click on the record locator to
retrieved the appropriate record.

Passenger Servicing
Many passengers have individual preferences and requirements when they travel.
To ensure good customer service, you must advise the relevant airlines of these
requirements at the time that you make reservations.
At the end of this module you will able to work with the following items in a Booking
File:
Mileage Membership
Special Service Requirements (SSR)
Other Supplementary Information (OSI)
Advanced Seat Reservations
Vendor Remarks
Mileage Membership Number

Most airlines have frequent flyer or mileage membership schemes to encourage
customers to fly with their airline. If your customer has a mileage membership
number, that number must be entered in the Booking File.
The number is transmitted to the airline when the booking is ended, and appropriate
mileage will be credited when travel takes place.
Refer to the following Booking File:
Click the
button and select Customer Information, then click on the Mileage
Membership tab. Click on passengers name and select the airline follow by entering
the correct mileage number. If there is cross accrual input the applicable airline code.
After click add and ok to store the mileage membership into the booking file.
Page 95
To view the mileage membership data, click on *MM
Joint Membership Schemes (Cross Accrual)

Many airlines offer joint membership schemes, and a customer who is a member
with one airline, can also accrue mileage when he flies with another. For example,
Emirates (EK) and Sri Lankan Airlines (UL) have a joint scheme.
Check joint membership agreements when you have different carriers in your
Booking File.
Page 96
Take the following step to display the membership accrual table for Singapore
Airlines..
Entry:
M SQ
Screen response:
Important Note :
Name/s in the booking must match the name in the Frequent Flyer account
exactly or it could result in the passenger not receiving the benefits they are
entitled to.
Mileage Membership data may not be changed. Existing information must be
deleted & new details added. Deletion will not be generated to airlines, agents to
contact airlines directly to remove the incorrect mileage data & advise correct
info.
Interactive Frequent Flyer Verification

Interactive Frequent Flyer Verification allows the participating airline to validate that
the Frequent Flyer number is correct for the passenger before the number is
stored in the Booking File and sent to the airline in the booking message. This will
ensure the passenger will always receive mileage credit for the flights, and will
eliminate associated passenger service issues.
For more information and participating carriers, you may refer to Ask Travelport Ans
ID 23256 - Where can I find FAQs regarding Interactive Frequent Flyer Verification
for agency and airline?
Page 97
Special Service Requirements (SSR)

A service request that requires an action by an airline is defined as an SSR (special
service requirement). The airline needs to be aware of the passengers
requirements in advance of travel in order to make the necessary arrangements.
There are many types of SSRs that you may need to request for your customers.
The following are some examples:
Special meals
Excess baggage
Wheelchair assistance
Language assistance
Bassinet/carry cot
Presence and age of a child
Infant with a seat
Unaccompanied minor (a child travelling alone who requires airline crew
assistance)
Advising of ticket numbers (for some carriers)
In addition, for travel to many destinations, airlines require information regarding

passports, forms of identification and phone contacts to be used in emergency
situations.
Page 98

Add an SSR to the Booking File to organise a service request for your customer.
Click the
button and select Create/Edit Special Services.

an aircraft, and will ask for their seat assignments to be pre- booked.
Some airlines provide a seat availability map to allow you to select your seat
numbers, and others will only allow you to make a generic request.
Many airlines provide access to a seat availability map, identifying seat numbers
which are available to be assigned to your customer.

Booking File History

The history section of the Booking File shows details of modifications that have been
made since its original creation. History shows itinerary changes and maintains a
record of changes that have been made to most customer data fields.
History tracks both agency and vendor activity, and you can examine history for filed
fare and ticketing activity when tickets and itineraries have been issued in the Galileo
system.
The most recent changes appear at the top of the history display after the
original creator lines, and each line of information is preceded by a history
code.
To display Booking File history, enter:
The first five lines of the display show details of the original creation of the Booking
File. The subsequent history follows, and the most recent is at the top. As and when
an item is added to history, it is identified by a credit line (CRDT) and a history
code. The Received Field is automatically stored. Relevant data appears above the
CRDT line.
Refer to the following example screen display.

Good Practises
Dos
1. Use Carrier Specific Display for airline host availability e.g
A10FEBSINMNL*PR
2. Call Helpdesk for assistance if there is no {*) acknowledgement behind the O
and S sell indicator over 4 hours.
3. A NOREC or REJECT can occur if the agent cancel and rebook in the same
transaction. Agents are advised to cancel the unwanted segment, end
transact, re-retrieve the booking and rebook the new flight.
4. A REJECT can occur if the agent cancels the unwanted KL segment and
action a confirmation @2HK at the same time. Agents are advised to cancel
the unwanted KL segment, end transact, re-retrieve the booking and action
the wanted KL segment.
5. If need to remove passive segments, use the XK function e.g. @1XK or @14XK.
6. Agents are reminded to cancel off HX segments by either using @2XK or X2
(2 being the HX segment number). This will avoid agency being billed for HX
segments by Airlines.
7. For SQ reservations within 72 Hours, after changes please toggle into
@@SQ/VIEWPNR to ensure that the modified itinerary is updated. Otherwise
do contact SQ reservations as the booking may be in SQ control.
8. Re-advising of ticket number is required after an itinerary changed for those
ticketed segments/PNR.
9. Airlines remind agents not to reuse dead PNR to rebook flights, it may cause
sell message being rejected or no record at airline system. Airline may refuse
to render help on such situations.
10. On bookings where passenger had started travel, before doing any change
contact airline to check if the airline has taken control of the booking. This is to
avoid airline not receiving the messages and result in no record at airline
system.
11. When there is a child in booking, please remember to include an SSR to
advise child age.
e.g. SI.P2/CHLD (if date of birth is not avail at time of booking)
or
SI.P2/CHLD*10JUL99 (with date of birth DDMMMYY)
12. Check that passengers name is correct and meets the airline requirement
(e.g. correct form of payment,
Page 150
FOID etc) before sending for ticket issuance.

For E-ticket, check that the maximum name characters by carriers, please
refer to GC*439/1 for more info.
13. For carriers which are able to do a VIEWPNR please check the airline
booking after you have divided a booking to ensure it has been split correctly.
DONTs
1. Do NOT cancel and rebook the same flight in same transaction.
2. Do NOT create duplicated segments/bookings for same passenger
3. Do NOT modify the booking file without the * acknowledgement on O and/or S
sell indicator
4. Do NOT sell segment on a DEAD PNR, create a separate booking file for the
itinerary.
e.g. Booking has been HX by the carrier SQ. .
5. Do NOT create booking file or send OSI/SSR item when the flight is close to
departure time.
6. Do NOT update (cancel or remove) AK and HK segment in same transaction.
7. Do NOT create passive segment on Malaysian Airlines. Wholesaler creates
live segments and get MH to synchronise with sub-agent booking.
8. Do NOT turn on the INSERT button or DELETE button whenever fill-informat is in used.
9. Do NOT @1RR for China carriers instead indicate in Vendor Remarks.
e.g. V.ACA*PLEASE RECONFIRM CA662 / 10JUN SINPEK.
10. Do NOT create PNR with all open date segment, at least one segment with
date.
11. Do NOT name change after issuance of E-Ticket.
12. Do NOT insert fictitious ticket number into a Booking File.
13. Do NOT issue ticket after ticketing deadline expired although booking still
showing in bookng file, as it may be in the airlines queue for robotic
cancellation.

Galileo Fares
For many travellers, the main factor influencing the decision of which flights to book
will be the fare charged for the journey. This is particularly so for leisure travellers
who are paying for the ticket themselves, but also increasingly important for business
travellers as many companies are trying to reduce travel costs.
When checking availability, each booking code represents a different cabin class or
fare type. On all flights a variety of fares are offered. Highest fares which are flexible
are termed normal fares. Those which are lower and less flexible are special fares.
Within each of these categories, there are different types of fares. The general
features of the most frequently seen fare types are listed below. These are general
guidelines, and restrictions of each fare may vary, depending on the route flown. The
rules of each fare should be checked and passengers advised of any restrictions.
International Fare Display

Galileo Fares provides fare displays with the following neutrality features in common:
Fares are displayed in strictly low-to-high order with round trips assessed
at their half-value
When one carrier's fare is identical to another, the display will be

randomised on subsequent entries
The basic input to display fares from one city to another is the city pair and date of
travel, which may be entered in any order.
For example:

Fare Booking Classes

The Galileo 360 Fares system provides detailed booking code information for the
primary carrier and secondary carries. When agents wish to display this information
they should check the primary airline booking code first and only if the required
information is not supplied should they check for the secondary.
Follow-up entries may be made after a Fare Display to determine the correct class of
service that must be booked for a different carriers participating in an international
itinerary or using IATA published fares. An RBD or Reservations Booking Designator
is a letter code assigned by an airline to a filed fare. There may be one or more RBD
for a filed fare depending on the airlines requirements. The RBD is the main tool that
an airline uses to maintain seat inventory for fares sold.
Below is an example of primary and secondary RBD information from a fare display.
Fare display:
FDSYDHOU/QF
Display primary RBD information
In the above case if you were looking for the class of travel on Alaska Airlines (AS)
you would use M or H class. There is no need to check the secondary information
as it is already supplied in the primary.
Page 166
Above is the secondary RBD information of the same fare and as you can see AS
advises K class. Because the primary RBD information is M or H it would be
incorrect to use K and failure to adhere to this rule could result in an ADM.
Remember to always display the primary airline booking code first.

Fare Quote
Auto fare quote is used if the normal IATA published fare is to be applied or
printed on the ticket.
The following assumptions are made with a fare quote request:
All passengers in a Booking File require quotes
All passengers are adults (except infants as specified in the name field)
All segments are to be quoted
Ticketing is to take place on the same date as the fare is quoted or within
the guarantee limit
A stopover is assumed where connections are 24 hours or more for IFQ
and 4 hours or more if the fare is from NAFQ
Passengers are not exempt from ticketable taxes.
Fare quote qualifiers may be used to override any or all of these assumptions.
