Contract Spreadsheet ............................................................................................E.1 Agency Private Fares, Course Book vii Module 1: Introduction Agency Private Fares has been designed as a GUI (Graphical User Interface) product, which enables travel agencies and consolidators to load their special/negotiated fare contracts into Galileo or Apollo, where they are then available for automated distribution. Standard contracts are the paper and e-mailed contracts distributed to travel agents by many airlines. The agent has to load all fare and rules. Calculated contracts are based on airline filed public and private fares. Fares filed via Agency Private Fares reside within the Galileo Fares database. This ensures that full rule validation is applied when quoting and filing into a booking. Fares will be integrated with Public, Agency Private Fares and Airline Private Fares that may already be in use by the agency. Dependant on APF contract and Airline combination filings, fares filed via Agency Private Fares may combine on a half round trip basis with public fares, Airline Private Fares or other APF fares filed by the same supplier. Housekeeping The following should be noted: • Fire Exits • Toilets • Smoking Policy • Breaks • Communication • Mobile Phones Course Length The full course is scheduled for three days.

Fares maintained within Agency Private Fares are uploaded to Galileo Fares Database five times a day at the following GMT times: 04:00, 08:00, 13:00, 18:00, 23:00 ASK Travelport 8739: When are the Agency Private Fares updates? Benefits Fares will be available for sale at selling locations within 24 hours. Contracts are quick and easy to load. A better range of fares can be offered quickly and easily.

Searching for Zones is covered in Module 8 and searching for Distribution Groups is covered in Module 9. In this module, we will look at searching for contracts. All three searches start from the same page. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 2.3 Module 2: Main Menu Functions Searching for contracts ASK Travelport 5875: How do I search for contracts within Agency Private Fares? Screen Description: Entry Active Historical Copied Contracts / Pending Purge Uncommitted My Supplier Code Only Not My Supplier Code Supplier Account Code Standard / Calculated Airline Code Rule ID Contract Description Contract Type Effective Date Discontinue Date 2.4 Description Committed contracts within your supplier code. Expired contracts remain available for 1 year after expiry. When an active contract is edited and committed, a new active version is created. The previous version of the contract remains in the historical search until the daily extract (daily file transfer) runs. After one day, the previous version of the contract is moved to the purged section, which contains all versions of each contract. Exception: Old versions of contracts that are copied outside supplier ARE NOT removed from the All Versions search by the extract. To prevent disputes, these versions are retained in the search until all of their "children" contracts expire. This retention allows the contract originator to readily recreate the original contract data. Contracts that have been saved, but not yet committed and/or uncommitted updates of committed contracts. All contracts within your supplier code only. Contracts outside your supplier code only. Contracts in the specified supplier code only. Account set up and used in fare display and fare quote entries Type of contract Two letter airline code. Contract code/name. Description used for contract. Net or Selling level used.

Any contract with a padlock icon in the ‘’Edit’ column is locked and can only be unlocked by the administrator within your agency, or by searching the uncommitted contracts, selecting it for editing and then committing it. All of these options will be covered in more detail in other Modules. Escape from this screen by clicking on “Home”; or start a new search by clicking on “Search”. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 2.5 Module 2: Main Menu Functions Help Agency Private Fares has a comprehensive and easy to use help facility that can take you step by step through any particular element of the system. It is designed to open up the section that corresponds to the page you are on in Agency Private Fares. There are 3 ways of using the on line help: − View the entire Contents by chapter heading − View the Index in alphabetical order and search for key words in the chapter headings − Use the Search function to locate a word or phrase in any passage within any chapter Additionally a Glossary of commonly used terms and words is constantly updated. Contents Click “Help” from any screen in the GUI; another window opens and it defaults to the Contents section, with the relevant chapters being displayed for you. From here you can navigate through the help by chapter heading.

Search This functionality displays any paragraph that has words that match these words typed in the search panel. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 2.7 Module 2: Main Menu Functions Glossary The left hand part of the screen is divided in two: • the top half comprising a list of words; • the bottom half displaying the meaning of the highlighted word. When you select the Glossary tab only the left half of the screen changes. Any information that was displayed on the right hand side remains the same. Notes: All of the Help functions open up a separate window. Click on the X in the top right corner to close it and return to the main screen. Logout The function of this button should be self explanatory, however caution is needed. If logout is chosen after opening a contract but before committing it, even without making any changes, it will appear locked the next time you log-in. This requires opening the uncommitted version and either cancelling or editing it. 2.8 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 3: Exercise to create a basic Standard Contract A new contract can be created within the system at any time. The Contract Header screen must be completed before any others are started. After that, the other screens may be completed in any order. There are only two other screens that are mandatory for the completion of a minimal viable contract; Fares/Routes and Distribution/Ticketing. Module Objectives Upon completion of this module you will be able to: • Create a basic Standard Contract Demonstration Type the following link into your browser to review an e-Learning Quick Hit course on how to create a basic contract. http://support.galileo.com/SGC/LMS/ Select your country; add your PCC, your trainer will advise your country code and PIN if you do not know it; register into the eLearning system; from the Homepage, select “Quick Hits” and then “APF: Build a Basic Contract” Agency Private Fares, Course Book 3.1 Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract Create a basic Standard Contract Select the New Standard Contract button from the Home Page. You will be presented with the Contract Header page. Fields with a red asterisk are mandatory. Complete the mandatory boxes as instructed. Completed basic Contract Header Screen: 3.2 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract The buttons at the bottom of the screen are used for performing the following functions: Reset Restores all the boxes back to original entries. Save You can save data in all screens. However, data is also saved automatically when the user moves onto another screen after completing the current one. The contract is stored but not yet committed to the Fares system. Validate Check if all mandatory parts of Contract are completed. Commit Commit contract to the live Fares system. Completing the Screen Once you complete the information in this window; complete other applicable windows. Click on the relevant light blue button across the top of the screen. ASK Travelport 9296: How do I create a basis standard contract in Agency Private Fares? Fares /Routes All fares with the same routing may be entered as a group. When creating a new contract, you will enter a new name for a group of fares in the “Name” box and ‘Add Fare.’ Agency Private Fares, Course Book 3.3 Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract Complete the screen with the relevant data: Routing This sub-page needs to be completed even if the fares are to be permitted on direct flights only. 3.4 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract Distribution/Ticketing The second mandatory screen is Distribution/Ticketing. Ensure all the required Global Distribution Groups for this contract have been moved into the right hand box. Select multiple groups by holding down the Control key on the keyboard. Select the ‘Specific Ticketing Detail/Selling Level button.’ Ticketing and Selling level Exceptions can be created here. This will be covered in Module 5. Click on ‘Add Specific Ticketing/Selling Level Detail’ button. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 3.5 Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract Adding Ticketing Details will be covered in Module 5. For now, just click the ‘Set Selling Levels’ button at the bottom of the screen. For Net and Selling contracts set the selling level. For Net only contracts a minimum and maximum selling range can be added. This screen is not available for Sell only contracts. Although no other screens are mandatory, it would be usual to complete others. 3.6 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 3: Create a basic Standard Contract Validating and Committing the Contract After completing the mandatory and as many other screens as required, you can save your work and commit it to the system. First you may VALIDATE the contract, which effectively checks that the mandatory items are in place in the correct format. Click on the blue “Validate” button at the bottom of the screen. Response: The contract has passed the validation. Now commit the contract by clicking on the blue “Commit” button and the contract will be saved to the APF system, and will be available for viewing after the next extract. Failure to close the contract correctly (i.e. just exiting this screen) will leave it as uncommitted, but it will now show as “locked”. This will require someone with Site Admin rights to unlock the contract in order for further work to be done or for it to be committed to the system. Full coverage of validating and committing is covered in module 5. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 3.7 Module 4: Planning your Database It is critical that you take time to plan and organise your database for each new contract. Making amendments after a contract is created takes time and could lead to confusion. Module Objectives Upon completion of this module you will be able to: • Create a contract database plan Contract Rule ID Every contract loaded through Agency Private Fares must have a unique Contract Rule ID. It is the responsibility of each Agency Private Fares user to create their own Rule IDs and allocate them per contract. They are not contained within the contracts sent to you from the airline/consolidator. Each ID may be alpha, numeric or alphanumeric and contain exactly four characters. Each will be linked to an airline code. You could create them using the airline or country code with a number: BA01 ; KL02; GB03; NL04 Or using the same number with different airline codes: 0001; 0002; 0003; 0004 Note: Do not use ID 9999. This will be used for combining any Rule ID from within your Supplier Code when it is used on the combinations screen in the “Outside this Rule ID” section. Note: Together, a rule ID and airline is unique to one contract and cannot be reused at any time. The way in which you decide to create and allocate your Rule IDs will be dependent on the type and volume of contracts used in your office. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 4.1 Module 4: Planning Your Database Other Considerations Before entering details onto the system, consider: Do you need to assign an Account Code to a contract? This will save time when locating the fare from the fare display if it is for a designated account. For example, if you have an account with the BBC, maybe you would consider these: − − − BBCUS1 BBCGB1 BBCCA1 Note: An account code may be alpha or alphanumeric, maximum 20 characters but must begin with an alpha. What type of contract is this? − − − NET NET & SELLING SELLING Whom do you want to receive this contract and what security levels do you want them to have: − − − − UPDATE REDISTRIBUTION SALE TICKET Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N Note: Only the ‘Sale’ field is read in Apollo. Any agency with ‘Sale’ authority will also be able to ticket the fare. We recommend that Apollo users set Sale and Ticket to the same value. This information is created in a Distribution Group which will be covered in depth in Module 9. ASK Galileo 9301: How do I add a distribution group within Agency Private Fares? Once you have these elements determined, the rest of the information from your paper contract can be easily transferred. Planning your Database It is critical that you take time to plan and organise your database. For guidance we have created a fares template, see Appendix A We recommend that you use this template as it will ensure that all information from your paper contract is accurately accounted for when loading to the Agency Private Fares database. We would also recommend keeping a copy of the completed template with your paper contract for reference purposes. 4.2 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 4: Planning Your Database Sample Contract for Class Exercise WORLDWIDE PREMIUM ECONOMY Special Net Fare Addendum From VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS Validity 01 November – 31 March ADULT RETURN NET FARES Route LHR – JFK - LHR LHR – EWR– LHR LHR – BOS – LHR LHR – IAD – LHR LHR – MIA – LHR LGW – MCO – LGW LHR – SFO – LHR LHR – LAX – LHR LGW – LAS – LGW Midweek Fare GBP 900.00 GBP 900.00 GBP 900.00 GBP 875.00 GBP 1,060.00 GBP 1,060.00 GBP 1,500.00 GBP 1,500.00 GBP 1,550.00 Minimum Street Selling Price Agency Private Fares, Course Book Weekend Fare GBP 995.00 GBP 995.00 GBP 995.00 GBP 975.00 GBP 1,160.00 GBP 1,160.00 GBP 1,600.00 GBP 1,600.00 GBP 1,650.00 Net fare plus GBP60.00 4.3 Module 4: Planning Your Database Conditions Header Application Advance Purchase Booking Class Weekend Supplement Minimum Stay Maximum Stay Routing Stopovers Discounts Blackouts Fare Basis Endorsements Airport Taxes Security Charge Date Changes Route / Name Changes Cancellations Tour Code Ticket Type Commission 4.4 Rule Flying Club miles ARE permitted with the above net fares.

Take the Template you created in Module 5 Review for American Airlines and create a new contract on the system. Save the contract once entered, but do not commit it. Ensure the Contract I.D. includes your first name initial and the airline code as well a numeric. I.e. for Tom Smith the contract code could be AAT3. 2. Complete contracts from Appendix B as informed by your trainer. Each contract has different challenges, so liaise with your trainer to attempt the ones most likely to mirror the contracts you will be working with when back at your agency. 3. Alternately, as instructed by your trainer, work on any contracts you may have brought to the course. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 6.13 Module 6: Optional Screen Functionality Notes 6.14 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract At any time after saving or committing a contract, you can retrieve it, look at it in full or summary format, make amendments to it and commit previously uncommitted documents to the main fare system. Module Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to: • Retrieve a contract • View a contract in full and summary format • Edit a contract • Commit a contract Retrieving a Contract Use the search option from the Home page. ASK Travelport 5875: How do I search for contracts within Agency Private Fares? Note: If searching by description it must be exactly as typed in the contract header screen and is case-sensitive. If searching by account code, this box is also case-sensitive. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 7.1 Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract View Summary Select the contract you wish to view and click on the View Summary button and a separate window opens up. This shows the header, fares and basic rules, just like the validation screen. 7.2 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract View Full Contract Click on the View Full button and a separate window opens up: Here you can see the full contract, including all the rules, exceptions and rule text. If you find any details which are incorrect, or need updating you may have to edit the contract. Close this screen using the button at the bottom, and use the Edit button from the search screen. If a contract has been edited and not committed, or a contract was saved and not committed, you will have to delete the uncommitted version or continue editing the uncommitted version. Once changes are made to the contract it must be re-committed. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 7.3 Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract Audit Trail (View Changes) This display records all the changes that have been made to a contract displayed in descending order with the most recent changes displayed at the top and the original information right at the bottom of the screen. On an Uncommitted contract it just shows the creation details. The following data is shown: − The Action performed in the system − The Function (paragraph) in which the action was performed − The Time at which the action was performed − The ID of the user who performed the action − A Before view of the data that was modified − An After view of the data that was modified − The Version of the contract in which the action was performed If it is a new contract (as above) it will be version 1, and no ‘Before’ information will be shown. ASK Travelport 1928: What is the difference between Commit and Extract in Agency Private Fares? ASK Travelport 1934: Why are Agency Private Fares contracts not available even though they were committed in time for the extract? Once a committed contract has had changes made to it, the Contract Version number in the final column changes, so it is easy to track all of the different changes made to the contract. 7.4 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract Here is another contract after it has been committed more than once. The contract version number changes each time it is committed. Uncommitted Contracts ASK Travelport 5876: What is an Uncommitted contract in Agency Private Fares? Locked Contract ASK Travelport 5878: What should I do if my contract has a padlock symbol next to it? Agency Private Fares, Course Book 7.5 Module 7: Search, View and Edit a Contract Module Review 1. During Modules 5, and 6 you created a number of Contracts. Commit all of those which have not yet been committed. 2. Retrieve the third contract you created. Change the Minimum Stay rule, you can choose the new regulation. Commit the contract. 3. Retrieve the contract you have just amended. Check the changes have been implemented and date/time stamped. 7.6 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 8: Zones A zone is a group of cities, states or countries, or IATA areas. Zones are used for Standard Contracts where fares are common rated, and for Calculated Contracts when a group of city pairs are to be increased or decreased by the same amount. Module Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to: • Describe the function of a zone • Create a zone • Search for zones • Search for a zone in active contracts • Edit a zone • Copy zones • Delete a zone Using Zones The use of zones speeds up the process of entering contracts by allowing you to input more than one city at a time When creating contracts it is possible to enter more than one zone in both the From and To fields instead of, or as well as, individual city codes. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 8.1 Module 8: Zones Create a Zone Zones are created separately and usually prior to your contract, which means you can use any zone for any contract you create. Once a zone has been created it can be copied, edited or deleted. ASK Travelport 5880: How do I create a Zone in Agency Private Fares? Airport codes cannot be used within a zone. If needed, they must be listed individually in each contract without a zone. A zone (i.e. a set of cities) cannot be combined with airport codes either in the same boxes or opposite boxes in a contract. For example, a Zone called FRANCE containing PAR MRS NCE and TLS. Examples of contracts could be:From LON to FRANCE From LON to FRANCE and STR (extra city code) From LHR LGW to CDG LBG (all airport codes only) LHR to FRANCE LON to FRANCE and LBG (airport code) But NOT From Or From 8.2 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 8: Zones Search, Edit, Copy or Delete a Zone ASK Travelport 5882: How do I search for a Zone in Agency Private Fares in order to edit, copy or delete it? Search for a Zone in Active Contracts Updating or deleting a zone does NOT affect contracts with which the zone has already been associated. This is to prevent you accidentally invalidating current contracts. However, you may wish to also amend those contracts which have that zone. ASK Travelport 5883: How do I find a list of contracts containing a particular zone? Contracts copied from Outside Suppliers If a contract was copied from outside this supplier code, which is indicated by an icon in the “Source” column, it means that there is another source for the contract. Contracts of this type cannot be committed using this function. This type of contract would have to be opened for edit and the Zone (and/or Global Distribution Group) be manually updated. The search returns these types of contracts for reference only, so you will know which ones you will need to update manually. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 8.3 Module 8: Zones Module Review 1. Can a zone be created containing these codes ADL;SYD;BNE;MEB; 2. You have created and saved a Zone for QANTAS flights Australia to LON/AMS/PAR called QFAUSEH. QANTAS now adds a new city (ASP perhaps) to its routings at the same price and therefore you needs to include it in the contract. What do you do ? 3. Create a zone for cities in the USA for routings from Europe. Include cities NYC, BOS, WAS, PHL, PIT, CLT. Include your initials in the name, and give a good description. 4. Once you have created your Europe to USA zone, you find you need a similar one for travel from the UK only. Copy the current zone and add two more cities YTO and YMQ. Rename the new one in an appropriate manner. 5. Once you have created your new zone, you now find you do not need it after all. Take the steps to delete the copied zone. 8.4 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 9: Distribution Groups Distribution Groups must be created in order for contracts to be viewed ® through Focalpoint and Viewpoint™. A Distribution Group contains a list of agency pseudo city codes/IATA numbers and/or locations that have the same security level (ability to view, update, and/or sell). A Global Distribution Group is created separately from a contract and therefore can be used within any contract. A Contract Specific Distribution Group is created within a one specific contract. Module Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to: • View the Distribution Groups within a contract • Create a Distribution Group • Search for a Distribution Group in active contracts • Edit or delete Distribution Groups • Describe the different security levels of Distribution Groups. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 9.1 Module 9: Distribution Groups Creating Global Distribution Groups ASK Travelport 9614: How do I create a Global Distribution Group? Security Level The Security Level determines the level of access available to the agencies/geography with the Distribution Group. The levels of security given MAY differ for each agency/geography within the group. However, the authority for Sale and Ticket must be included in the same Distribution group. 9.2 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Update • Yes - To give agencies access in Agency Private Fares to copy outside the contract and change certain fields. Redistribution • Yes - This allows other agencies with selective access or group coding arrangements to also view the fares and rules. Sale • Yes - The agent can sell these fares, and make fare quote entries but cannot view the net ticketing data. Ticket • Yes –The agent can ticket these fares and see net ticketing data. Note: When all options are set to NO, access is view only which means they will display in the fare display but will not auto quote and cannot be filed into a booking. In addition the agency must also have the correct settings in their AAT to allow Agency private Fares. Note for Apollo Users: Only the ‘Sale’ field is read in Apollo. Any agency given ‘Sale’ authority will also be able to ticket the fare. If only ‘Ticket’ authority is selected they will not be able to quote or ticket the fare. All locations that require to sell and/or ticket must have ‘Sale’ selected. We recommend that you set Sale and Ticket to the same value. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 9.3 Module 9: Distribution Groups Search, Edit, Copy, or Delete Distribution Groups ASK Travelport 5888: How do I edit, copy or delete a Global Distribution Group? ASK Travelport 1894: Can I delete an Agency Private Fares Distribution Group? If so, must the Distribution Group be cancelled from a specific contract? Search for a Distribution Group within a Contract. Although changing a Global Distribution Group does not affect existing contracts, you can easily find those which occur in existing contracts if you need to amend them manually. ASK Travelport 5889: How do I find a list of contracts containing a specific Distribution Group. Contract Specific Distribution Groups Once a Global Distribution Group has been created, it can be inserted into any contract which you subsequently create. It can be edited within a specific contract to create a Contract Specific Group. Alternatively a new Contract Specific Group can be created here, for use only with this particular contract. ASK Travelport 9619: How do I create a Contract specific Distribution Group? 9.4 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module Review 1. Give the steps to creating a Global Distribution Group. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2. How do you cancel a Global Distribution Group? 3. You need to add another office IATA number to an already created Global Distribution Group. How do you do it? 4. You are creating a contract in which your (already created) Distribution Group “Head Office” will fit almost perfectly. However, you want the security details in this contract only, to be YES in the “Update” box. Your move. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 9.5 Module 9: Distribution Groups This page intentionally left blank. 9.6 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 10: Add- On Fares An Add-on Fare is linked to fares within a Standard contract to create a through fare for fare display and pricing. This is known as a ‘constructed fare.’ The Add-on fare will not display or quote alone, and there are no rules attached to it. The fare rules come from the Standard contract after the through fare is created. Once created, the Add-on fare can be combined with any number of Standard contracts if required. Note: You do not “commit” add-on fares. Once you save the add-on fare, it is available to construct with standard contracts after the next Agency Private Fares extract. Module Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to: • Create an Add-on Fare. • Define Add-on Linking Criteria • Create Gateway and Interior Add-on Zones • Search for Add-on Fares • Edit Add-on Fares • Copy Add-on Fares • Search for Add-on Zones • Edit Add-on Zones • Copy Add-on Zones From the Home page, click on the Add-on button.

Defining Add-on Linking Criteria You set the criteria that defines how the Add-on fare will construct with Standard Fares. The criteria for the Add-on Fare and the Standard contract must ‘match’ in order for the through fare to be created. Within the Add-on creation screen the options are: • Contract Rule ID – This will construct fares only with this specific Standard contract. And/Or • Fare Type – Economy, Business or First. This will construct with any fares in any Standard contract of that type, for the owning airline. • Fare Basis Code – This will construct with any fares with this fare basis code in any Standard contract , for the owning airline Any of the three options can be used independently, or the Contract Rule ID can be used with either Fare Type or Fare Basis. Agency Private Fares, Course Book 10.3 Module 10: Add-on Fares This shows that this Add-on could only be used with fares in Standard Contract VS01. Within the Standard Contract Header screen the criteria must also be defined. The options are: • Rule ID and Fare Basis Code • Rule ID and Fare Type • Rule ID • Fare Basis Code • Fare Type • All Fares – This permits any Add-on Fare that matches the Rule ID, Fare type, or Fare Basis Code to construct. In this example ‘Rule ID’ is selected. The Add-on the previous page would combine with fares in this contract to form through fares as the criteria ‘matches’. ASK Travelport 6619: How do I link an Add-on Fare to my contract in Agency Private Fares? For more information on defining criteria see the Help pages. 10.4 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 10: Add-on Fares Search for Add-on Fares Use the Search Add-on button within the Add-on Menu.

Copy Add-on Fares ASK Travelport 6531: How do I copy an Add-on Fare in Agency private Fares? Agency Private Fares, Course Book 10.5 Module 10: Add-on Fares Zones for Add-on Fares A zone for an Add –on Fare is a group of cities or airports (Gateway zones only) used to make loading the Add-on fare quicker. Once a zone has been created it can be used in numerous contracts if required There are two types of zones used with Add-ons, Gateway Zones, and Interior Zones. Gateway Zones A Gateway is the first point of arrival, or the last point of departure in a country or area. Gateway zones are always international points of departure an arrival. For example in a contract with fares to NYC/CHI/BOS/PHL, and add-on amounts to DEN/ HOU/LAX, a Gateway zone could be created containing NYC/CHI/BOS/PHL. City and/or airport codes can be used in Gateway zones. However, the gateway city/airport code has to match city/airport code used on the Standard contract. If the contract has fares loaded form LON, and the zone is created using LHR, then the through fare will not be constructed. Creating a Gateway Zone ASK Travelport 6519: How do I create a Gateway zone to use in an addon fare? 10.6 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 10: Add-on Fares Interior Zones Interior refers to cities or zones that are the ultimate origin or destination of the constructed fare. Using the same example as above, an Interior Zone could be created containing DEN/HOU/LAX. Only city codes may be used in Interior zones, not airport codes. Creating an Interior Zone ASK Travelport 6520: How do I create an Interior zone to use in an addon fare? Searching for Add-on Zones ASK Travelport 6620: How do I search for existing Gateway and Interior zones? Edit an Add-On Zone ASK Travelport 6621: How do I edit an existing Add-on zone? Agency Private Fares, Course Book 10.7 Module 10: Add-on Fares Search for An Add-on Zone in Active Add-on Fares Updating or deleting a Gateway or Interior Zone does NOT affect any Add-on Fares with which the zone has already been associated. However, you may wish to also amend those Add-on fares which use that zone. ASK Travelport 6622: How do I find a list of Add-on fares containing a particular Gateway or Interior zone? Copy an Add-on Zone ASK Travelport 6623: How do I copy a Gateway or Interior zone used in Add-on fares? Delete an Add-on Zone You can delete a Gateway or Interior zone. This does not remove the zone from any Add-on fares with which is it associated. ASK Travelport 6625: How do I delete a zone used with Add-on fares? Important Note When you delete a zone: It does not affect any Add-on Fares to which the zone had been assigned. Therefore if Add-on fares containing a particular zone need to be amended, do so before deleting the zone. That way you will be still be able to find the Add-on Fare details within the “Active Add-ons” search function. 10.8 Agency Private Fares, Course Book Module 10: Add-on Fares Module Review 1. Create a Gateway Zone with the following cities/airports: JFK EWR BOS IAD MIA MCO SFO LAX LAS 2. Build an Add-on Fare of USD 100.00 return using the Gateway zone created in question 1, and the Interior zone just created.

It is not possible to use any existing Agency Private Fares contract as a base fare or a fare already created as a result of a calculation. (E.g. Category 25 Fare by Rule) Module Objectives Upon completion of this module you will be able to: • Create and amend a Calculated Contract • Explain the contents of each section of a contract How to Use Before starting to create a calculated fare contract you must ascertain on which fare the contract will be based. For a public fare the information required is the fare basis code. For a private fare, the tariff number and fare basis code is needed. This information could come from the airline paper contract, but can also be found in the fare notes.
