AVAILABILITY
H/AVAIL
NEUTRAL AND CARRIER SPECIFIC AVAILABILITY
Galileo displays two basic types of availabilities:
1)
2)
Neutral Availability.
Carrier Specific Display
In the Neutral Availability Galileo builds connections dynamically up to 330 days into the future from
all published schedules. The availability of most airlines will show an Inside Link Indicator. This tells
you the availability will be completely up-to-date.
The Carrier Specific Display comes directly from the airline. It is a real time view of the airline's
system and each availability request goes across the airline's system. The Galileo system displays
that which is returned by the airline. With a Carrier Specific Display you will only receive a response
for one airline (or associated airlines). A Carrier Specific Display is not needed if an Inside Link
Indicator is shown in the Neutral Availability.
NEUTRAL AVAILABILITY
Logics:
Galileo displays flight availability in a specific order by default:
1.
2.
3.
Nonstop flights, by departure time
Direct flights, by departure time
Connections, by journey time

Carrier Specific Availability:
Airlines build their own carrier specific availability to display and book. A Carrier Specific Display is
a snapshot of the airline's system and every request for a Carrier Specific Display goes across to
the airline's system. The Galileo system displays what is returned by the airline, and is not stored
anywhere in the Galileo system.
Airlines have individual methods of building their connections. This can cause differences between
the connections the airlines show and those shown on neutral availability.

POINT AND CLICK:
Point and Click is an interactive Galileo display. Point and Click supports numerous Galileo formats
including availability, sell, and update and modify for air, car, and hotel bookings. It also supports
fare display, shopping, and many additional booking file entries.
After an availability request you simply Point and Click elements of the display to view additional
information. Some additional advantages regarding the availability are:
More results display for each search and follow-up entries are just a click away.
Outbound & Inbound flights are viewable at same time.
All classes can be shown in an availability display.
For example: In an air availability request, you can simply click a booking code to sell air seats, or
view important information such as airline decodes, aircraft details, routing information and more.
To launch a Point &Click air availability display, you can use the entry you already know. Just
preface your entries with a colon (:) or semi-colon (;).
Galileo Response:
Point and Click uses colours to define specific areas of the display.
White:

When it comes to classes in an Availability the following logic applies:
White:

Clickable
– This class/type is closed
– Available in this class/type
– Waitlist only.
Clicking on the blue codes leads to the following responses:

The extra information will be shown in grey.
In Point and Click, the entry bar is at the bottom. It is also easy to request an availability a day later
or earlier. Just click the mouse on top of the button with a date. A new tab will be created, and you
will be able to move through both availabilities. With a + it is possible to request the inbound and
outbound flights with one entry:
Example:
A15JULAMSROM/KL+30JUL/KL
A15JULBRUFRA/LH+30JULMUCBRU/LH
Round trip request
Open Jaw request
Tabs
Each time a new Point and Click request is done, a new tab is created. Tabs will display the format
requested.
These tabs allow a user to go back to a display to review or take action on. In the case a format is
used that does not have interactive capability; the tab will show “Terminal” indicating that the user is
being returned a standard terminal window display. There will be no interaction available on this
screen.
Users can choose to not create new tabs with a single entry or for all entries by un-checking the
New Tab option in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
Hide
If users want to return to Focalpoint, they may do so by clicking on the “Hide” button in the bottom
right hand corner.
By choosing “Hide” this allows a user to return to the point and click functionality and have all
previous tabs viewable.
Command Line
In Point and Click, there is a command line at the bottom of the page. You can continue to type
commands here. There is no need to use the colon (:) or semi-colon (;).

Some availability entries are not (yet) supported by Point and Click.

POINT AND CLICK:
The Timetable is not supported by Point & Click (no use of colon or semi-colon). When you are
already working in Point & Click, the timetable screen is the same as in Focalpoint.
DISPLAY CONNECT POINT
To find flights from and to unusual airports the Display Connect Point entry can be used. For
example, a passenger wants to fly from Brussels (BRU) to Tiruchirapally (TRZ). The entry is:
DCPBRUTRZ
In this example it is possible to fly via MAA and then continue to TRZ or to fly via two connecting
points.
FLIGHT FREQUENCY
It is also possible to retrieve all direct flights from and to a specific city. If you want to know the
inbound or outbound flights from TRZ, use the entry DC*TRZ.
Galileo Professional October 2010
Page 34 of 124
Tab behind the tabstop and fill-in an “I” for inbound or an “O” for outbound to retrieve the
applicable carriers.
In the example below we entered an O after MAA. Galileo tells you there are two airlines (IC and
IT) providing nonstop flights from TRZ to MAA. There are no direct flights.
FLIGHT FREQUENCY
If a passenger wants to travel to a specific city, but this city does not have an airport, it is always
worth trying to find the closest airport via the Galileo Maps. For example: If a passenger wants to go
to Valentigney in France your entry will be:
C*MAP/FRANCE-VVVV
The closest airports to this city are: Mulhouse (MLH) and Basel (BSL).

INTERACTIVE FREQUENT FLYER VERIFICATION
Currently, an agency enters a passenger‟s Frequent Flyer number into the Booking File Mileage
Membership field, which is sent to the airline after end transaction. If the Frequent Flyer name and
number in the Booking File does not match the name and number in the airline‟s Frequent Flyer
database, the passenger will not receive mileage credit. This can cause customer service issues
during and after the passenger‟s travel.
This product will allow the airline to interactively validate that the Frequent Flyer number is valid for
the passenger before the number is entered into 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.
The first participant is Lufthansa Airlines (LH).
1. Enter Frequent Flyer Number into Booking File
When the Frequent Flyer number is entered into the Mileage Membership field, Galileo will send an
interactive request to LH to verify the name and number match.
Current entry
>M.P1/LH992003021268879
2. Frequent Flyer Name or Number Do Not Match
If the airline advises the name and/or Frequent Flyer number do not match, the number will not be
added into the Booking File. Instead, the following error response will be displayed:

SERVICE INFORMATION & VENDOR REMARKS
H/SI & H/V.
INTRODUCTION
The optional fields Service Information (SI.) and Vendor Remarks (V.) allow you to send messages to
the airlines. To optimize the handling of your message, it is important to select the correct field for
each type of message.
There are 2 different types of Service Information: Special Service Requirement (SSR) and Other
Service Information (OSI).
SSR: must be used to send servicing requests which require action. However, the only
services you are allowed to request by means of an SSR are those that are
described by SSR AIRIMP codes.
OSI: is used to store additional information, which does not require action to be taken by
the airlines.
Vendor Remarks are used to request services (other than SSR‟s) and send messages that require
action to be taken by the airlines. Airlines often send Vendor Remarks to inform travel agents about
ticketing dates.
More details on each field can be found on the next pages.

TKNM -
Manual ticket notification - See GC*200/5 !!!
Many carriers ask to receive ticket numbers to make sure the booking is a definitive sell.
1.
Airlines having a bilateral agreement with Galileo Benelux.
Ticket numbers will automatically be sent to these airlines upon ticketing in Galileo.
TKNA – paper ticket.
TKNE – electronic ticket
Tickets issued outside the Galileo system need to be sent manually by the agent to the
airlines.
Use the input GC*200/5/YY (YY must be replaced by the airline code) to check whether
an SSR or OSI input is required:
TKNA or TKNE disappears after a status code change of the segment (e.g. time change
TK). A TKNM must be entered for that particular segment, else the airline might cancel
(HX) the segment by lack of ticketing information!
SSR carriers: SI.P1S1-5/TKNM*05712345675006

APIS
-
Advanced Passenger Information.
Some destinations request Advanced Passenger Information of the passenger. At the moment
(October 2010) the countries below will request (in the near future) the APIS information. The list is
not complete and more countries will be added in the future.
Antigua, Australia, Barbados, Bermuda, Canada, China (except Hong Kong), Cuba, Dominican
Republic, Grenada, Guyana, India, Iran, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South-Africa,
Spain, St. Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Syria, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago,
United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States (besides the ESTA and Secure Flight
Procedure) and Yemen.
If the information is added at the time of the booking it can save the passenger a lot of time during
check-in. Normally only the DOCS are mandatory, but other information might be requested.
Some Examples:
Passport Information:
SI.P1/DOCS*P/GB/S12345678/GB/12JUL66/M/23OCT14/SMITH/JOHN/RICHARD
Passenger 1 has a passport issued in GB, number S12345678. He has the British nationality, his

Secure Flight
-
For USA only
nn
Since 1 November 2010 Secure Flight requirements are applicable to journeys to, from, via or over
the United States. Although only applicable to the USA, it is recommended to add this information on
all journeys.
The objective of Secure Flight is:
Identify known and suspected terrorists
Prevent individuals on the No Fly List from boarding an aircraft
Subject individuals on the Selectee List to enhanced screening to determine if they are
permitted to board an aircraft
Facilitate passenger air travel
Protect individuals' privacy
Secure Flight airlines are required to collect the following Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD):
Name as it appears on government-issued I.D. when traveling
Date of Birth
Gender
Redress Number (if available)
The information needs to be collected 72 hours before the scheduled time of flight departure. Names
provided via Secure Flight will be compared with a name list with suspected persons.

A Redress Number is a 7-digit number that can be requested in case of unjustified suspicion of
a passenger. It will help to prevent future misidentification. For more information on the redress
process, visit www.dhs.gov/trip.
Since the Secure Flight concept is combined with the APIS concept, the entries are the same, but
must be provided at the latest 72 hours before departure (except when the booking was made on a
shorter notice). The minimum entry for Secure Flight is:
SI.P1/DOCS*////27OCT67/M//VANDERHEUVEL/MARCO/LODEWIJK MARIA
The entry to add a redress number is:
SI.P1/DOCO*BRUSSELS BE/R/1568763/BRUSSELS BE/01NOV10/US
Passenger 1, born in Brussels has Redress Number 1568763 registered in Brussels on 01nov 2010.

If the mandatory information is not added, the agent might not be able to issue the ticket or the
passenger is not admitted to the flight. Also fines are possible.

Attention: The quote shows you the last day the ticket can be issued. The fare however, is
only guaranteed for six days at most.
Under the FO additional fees can be found. Eg. for KL, when paying by credit card. This fee is
not added to the Fare Quote.
Fare Quote assumptions:
The lowest applicable carrier coded fare for the class booked.
All passengers are considered as adults unless otherwise specified.
All segments are to be quoted (including waitlisted and passive segments)
A stopover is assumed where connections are over 24h00 or over 4h00 if the fare is for
NAFQ).
The ticket will be sold and ticketed in Belgium, Luxemburg or the Netherlands.

WITHOUT A RESERVATION:
Focalpoint Shopping allows you to search for fares without booking an itinerary.
 Points to Note:
There is a maximum of eight city pairs.
If you specify city codes in your entry, Galileo will search for both city and airport fares.
Since the availability will be checked, you must specify a travel date for each sector.
You may use both segment and itinerary modifiers. If you use both, the itinerary level modifier
takes priority.
If you use both pricing and availability modifiers, you must precede the first pricing modifier
with a single + and the first availability modifier with a double ++.
BASIC INPUT:
FS followed by cities and travel dates.
Eg: FSAMS10JANSCL28FEBAMS
Focalpoint Shopping will reply with available flights and classes.

Start with FSA instead of FS to get the best price regardless of availability.
In this case there are 11 pricing options and 63 itinerary options returned. The asterisk on the right
side indicates that Focalpoint has checked the availability in the carrier‟s database. After the last
Pricing Option a list with Follow-up entries is displayed:

CLIENT FILES
H/CLIENT
Introduction:
Client Files are profiles created in Galileo with all kind of information about the clients of a travel
agent. So, frequent travellers do not have to give all personal information each time they fly.
The creation of these profiles will not be explained during this course. However, it is necessary to look
into the Client Files, and the student must be able to move the information stored in the client files to
the PNR.
Client Files:
There are three types of Client Files:
Agency File (MAR). The travel agency is the highest Client File level. The basic Agency File will
be created by Galileo.
Business File (BAR). For each client a Business File must be created. It contains business
information, billing information, corporate accounts etc.
Personal File (PAR). Personal Files can be added to a Business File. Personal Files contain
personal preferences and personal information as mileage cards.

Page 111 of 124
Example of a basic Agency File:
Entry: C*
Transfer codes:
All lines of an Agency, Business and Personal File do have a transfer code. Normally the following
transfer codes are used:
Y – Yes, always move this line.
N – No, never move this line.
O – Optional to move this line.
Lines with Transfer Code N can never be moved.
Client File move:
To move all information from the Client File to the Booking File the CMT entries need to be used. With
the CMT entries all information with Transfer Code Y from all levels in the Client File will be moved to
the PNR. Optional fields must be specified if necessary, and can only be moved from the active level.
Move an Agency File to the PNR:
CM/ or CMM/ or CMT/PCC//
Move a Business File to a PNR:
CMT/Business File Title
Move a Personal File to a PNR:
CMT/Business File Title-Personal File Title
If a Client File is displayed, it is also possible to move this file directly to the PNR. In that case, only
information from the active level will be moved.

Move a displayed BAR to a PNR:
CMB/
Move a displayed PAR to a PNR:

In all cases Optional fields can be added by /+6 (= Line number to be added to PNR)
Eg. CMT/Business File Title-Personal File Title/+6.

QUEUES
H/Q, H/PAQ
Much communication takes place via queues. With queues it is possible to communicate between:
Airlines and Travel Agents.
Travel Agents and other branch offices.
Travel Agents and consolidators (brokers).
Employees at your own agency.
The queuing system can also be used by the agent to store PNR‟s or messages temporarily on a
specified queue.
All PNR‟s need to be handled as soon as possible, so check your queues often!
