Introduction Galileo 360° Fares introduces state-of-the-art capabilities for pricing airfares.

The Galileo 360° Fares system is one of the most competitive products in the travel industry, encompassing more features of the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO) Automated Rule, Routing, and Footnote products than systems used by many of the other global distribution systems (GDS).

Galileo 360° Fares represents the migration of the North American Fare Quote system and International Fare Quote system to a fully automated product. Migration of all customers to the Galileo 360° Fares North American Fare quote system was completed in July 2002, and the migration of all customers to the Galileo 360° Fares International Private Fare quote completed in August 2003.

Within this guide, we are pleased to advise you of enhancements to be implemented with the delivery of International Public Fares Phase 3. This advisory refers to enhancements for Terminal Emulation (TE) users only. Viewpoint and XML advisories will be addressed in separate documents.

BENEFITS Galileo 360° Fares International Public Fares offers the following benefits:

• Implementation of ATPCO Automated Rules for all ATPCO supplied fares resulting in timeliness and accuracy of fare related data. Additionally, support for SITA supplied fares will be accommodated in industry standard automated rules format, thereby fully integrating SITA fares in the 360°Fares system.

• Faster time to market for new and adjusted fare and fare-related conditions.

• Migrate the faring processes to a server-based environment, which is more flexible and timely to update, both with data and software.

• Accommodate the higher intensity of internet-related faring efforts.

• Virtual elimination of discrepancies caused by manual input of rules.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This document represents the final phase of a multi-phased migration of fare services from the legacy mainframe system to the Galileo 360° Fares platform. This final phase is scheduled for release in 4Q2004.

SITA FARES & PHASE 3 While the approach to integrate SITA fare and rule data into the 360°Fares system will ensure that all data is fully available for fare display and quote functionality prior customer activation, the data base initialization will not include sufficient historical data to ensure a full 90 day history for SITA fares. Full historic data for all SITA supplied carriers will be built from the system load date.




SUMMARY OF ENHANCEMENTS The following enhancements are included in the final phase of Galileo 360° Fares International Public Fares:

• Cleaned-up fare display for FIC fare display entries

• The addition of the Validated Fare Display modifier for international markets

• Enhanced modifiers for Round the World (RTW) and Circle Trip (CTF) fares.

• The addition of the Booking Class modifier for international markets

• The addition of percentage (IP) and dollar (IF) increase modifiers in international markets

• Enhanced rule text support

• An Enhanced Fare Detail Display entry

• Universal support for industry standard passenger type (PTC) codes

• The addition of support for Personal Geography modifiers for fare quote

• Support for fares filed in currencies other than the selling currency of the origin country

• Retiring of entries required to support the legacy Global Fares system




FARE DISPLAY FARE DISPLAY OUTPUT TICKET CODE / DESIGNATOR

Impact Fare Products in the following areas will be affected as a result of the Galileo 360°Fares Public Fares project enhancements.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Fare Display existing Existing existing X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Shopping Services Misc.

Background The ticketing code and ticket designator code are currently being processed for all North American public and private fares, all International private fares and international domestic public and private fares. This enhancement will now be expanded to include all remaining public fares.

Enhancement Description The initial Fare Display screen will display the Ticketing Code and Ticket Designator Code when filed by the carrier. These codes are also displayed on the ticket when issued. The Ticketing Code replaces the fare class (fare basis) code on the ticket and the Ticket Designator is appended to the end of the fare class (fare basis) code. Both codes are optional and each can be filed independently of each other. The codes will be displayed on the line immediately following the fare line or the Account Number line if coded (ACCT:). The abbreviation for the Ticketing Code is TC followed by a colon (TC:). The abbreviation for the Ticket Designator is TD followed by a colon (TD:). The code for each will display after the abbreviation code. For International displays, there will be no space after the colon, for example TC:SWP30. This is the same format as already implemented for North American fare displays.




For International displays, if both the Ticketing Code and Ticket Designator are coded, then the Ticketing Code will display first followed by the Ticket Designator. The TC will display under the CX (carrier) column and the TD will display immediately following the TC code leaving one space between the codes. If just the TC is coded or if just the TD is coded, the code will display under the CX column.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Fare Display X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background The removal of the alert message VERIFY PASSENGER TYPE is an enhancement for Fare Display. Currently when a user includes a Fare Identification Code (FIC) modifier in the input string, the alert message is displayed.

Enhancement Description The Fare Identification Code (FIC) modifier allows the user to select a specific fare basis code for display. The alert message VERIFY PASSENGER TYPE is displayed whenever the FIC is included in the input.

With this enhancement, the alert message will be removed from all public and private North American local and joint fare displays whenever the FIC modifier has been included in the input.

With the removal of the FIC alert message, all subsequent lines will be moved up allowing for more fares to be displayed on the initial fare display screen.

VALIDATED TARIFF DISPLAY


Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Fare Display Existing Existing X X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background The validated fare/tariff modifier is currently being processed for all North American Domestic and International Private fare displays. This enhancement will now be expanded to include all international displays.

Enhancement Description Fare Display inputs are based on validated and non-validated requests. Validated requests are the more restrictive of the two and requires the validate modifier of ‘V’. When the validate modifier and travel date(s) are included, the system will process specific rule restrictions and eliminate those fares that do not meet the validation criteria. For example, $DNYCLAXV20JUN‡UA will process the rule validation categories based on the outbound date of 20Jun. Entering of two travel dates will allow the user to specify both the outbound and inbound dates.

For International fare display requests, the carrier code is required in a validated fare display request. The validated request requires at least one carrier code and no more than three carrier codes may be included in the request. If a validated request is made and no carrier code is input, the alert message CARRIER CODE REQUIRED is displayed. If the user inputs more than three carrier codes, the alert message MAX NBR CARRIERS EXCEEDED is displayed.

Following are the three validation options that are provided in order to eliminate certain fares from the validation display. The Validation Option can be included either before or after the city pair. For example, the user can enter $DV15DECMIALON‡CO or $DMIALONV15DEC‡CO for the Apollo system.




The year may be included as an option when the date(s) is entered, using the DDMMMYY format, for example, $DMIALONV29MAY04‡CO.

V $DMIALONV‡UA

V15DEC $DMIALONV15DEC‡CO

V15DEC30DEC $DMIALONV15DEC30DEC‡CO

The following rule categories will be processed when determining the fares to be output in the Validation Fare Display.

• 2. Day/Time (Day of week restrictions only, time of day not validated)

• 3. Seasonality

• 5. Adv Res/Ticketing

• 6. Minimum Stay

• 7. Maximum Stay

• 11. Blackout

• 14. Travel Restrictions

• 15. Sales Restrictions

In addition to the validated fares, the message SEASONALITY/PROHIBITED TRAVEL DATES/DAY-OF-WEEK VALIDATED is displayed indicating that the rule categories have been validated and that the result is a ‘validated fare display’.

With this phase, the Private (:P) or Net Fare modifier (:C) will no longer be required in the input request for International fares. However, the modifier :C is required when requesting net fares, :P will only be used when requesting ONLY Private Fares. The current message ‘V MODIFIER REQUIRES NET OR PFARES’ and message V MODIFIER FOR NORTH AMERICAN FARES ONLY are no longer displayed.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Fare Display Existing X X X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background Fare Display modifiers are used to modify the default criteria for selecting fares in a fare display entry. The modifier detailed in this document relates to the Booking Class Modifier – B.

Enhancement Description The Booking Class Modifier displays fares whose primary booking code is the letter requested, in the same manner as North American fare display. The entry may only search for fares from one carrier in the requested class of service, which necessitates the addition of a carrier modifier.

Apollo Booking Class Modifier • $Dctycty-Y‡CX

NOTE: “Y” may be replaced with any class of service. The order in which the booking class modifier and carrier modifier are appended to the fare display entry is irrelevant.

Background Carriers may supply YY fares through ATPCO that are specific to that carrier. Currently, Galileo ‘explodes’ these fares to create fares that look like carrier fares.

Enhancement Description While Galileo will continue to accept carrier specific YY fares from ATPCO, the 360°Fares system will not ‘explode’ these fares to create carrier fares i.e. fares with that carrier code, in the fare display response. These fares will now be displayed with the YY carrier code in both the ‘all carrier’ display, and in any carrier specific display.

**Note – There is no change to fare quote.

FARE QUOTE E-TICKET/PAPER TICKET VALIDATION


Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Existing Existing Existing X Fare Display Best Buy Existing Existing Existing X Best Buy Quote Existing Existing Existing X Fare Quote Planner Existing Existing X Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Existing Existing Existing X Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Existing Misc.

**Note – E-Ticket validation is not available for flat fares filed using Agency Private Fares.

Background Airlines have the capability to file fare rules via ATPCO’s rule Category 15 - Sales Restictions to specify that an electronic ticket (E-Tkt) is required, permitted or not permitted for a particular fare. Currently, the legacy system does not validate and enforce this restriction of Category 15.

Enhancement Description Electronic Ticketing will be validated and enforced in fare quote. This does not apply to agency private fares.

Carriers may want to collect an additional surcharge to allow a paper ticket to be issued. In such cases, a carrier may code a surcharge which would be applied when overriding the E-Ticket only requirement of a fare. The surcharge will be shown in the linear fare line as a Q surcharge.

An alert will be displayed in fare quote to indicate that a particular fare requires that an E-Ticket be issued. When an E-Ticket required fare is quoted, the message E-TKT REQUIRED is displayed. To exclude fares that require electronic ticketing, a modifier of PT can be used. For any fares selected which require paper tickets, the alert PAPER TICKET REQUIRED is displayed.

Fare Display Enhancement The fare display request will include fares that have electronic ticketing information and those that do not. Rule text is generated from the electronic ticketing field to indicate any E-Ticket conditions.

When a fare has been filed with an electronic ticketing provision, the Category 15 text for that fare will reflect the E-Ticket information.




E- Ticket Required 15. SALES RESTRICTIONS FOR -A14SPL TYPE FARES TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED BY ELECTRONIC TICKETING.

E-Ticket Permitted 15. SALES RESTRICTIONS FOR -A14SPL TYPE FARES TICKETS MAY BE ISSUED BY ELECTRONIC TICKETING.

E-Ticket Not Permitted 15. SALES RESTRICTIONS FOR -A14SPL TYPE FARES TICKETS MAY NOT BE ISSUED BY ELECTRONIC TICKETING.

Fare Quote Enhancement When a fare quote is requested, E-Ticket required fares are included for consideration as the default, provided the user is permitted to issue an electronic ticket. Additionally, the ET modifier can be used to request fares that permit or require electronic ticketing. If a fare is selected that requires electronic ticketing, the alert message is displayed: E-TKT REQUIRED. To exclude electronic ticketing specified fares a modifier of PT can be used. In this case, for fares selected that require paper tickets, the alert PAPER TICKET REQUIRED is displayed.

NORMAL OPEN JAW Impact

Fare Products in the following areas will be affected as a result of the International Public Fares enhancements.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote X X Fare Display Best Buy X X Best Buy Quote X X Fare Quote Planner X X Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool X X Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background The IATA definition of a Normal Fare Open Jaw is used for pricing unit creation. Open jaws by definition are pricing units comprised of two components where the point of outbound departure and the point of inbound arrival, or the point of outbound arrival and the point of inbound departure are not the same points. Open jaws require the use of half round trip fares.

The IATA definition of a normal fare open jaw has changed. The old definition limited the surface sector at both origin and turnaround to points within a single country.

IATA’s new definition still limits the surface sector at origin to a single country, but the surface sector at turnaround may be between different countries, provided the mileage of the surface sector is not greater than the mileage flown on the shortest fare component of the open jaw. Note: There is no change to the IATA definition of special fare open jaw.

Enhancement Description With this enhancement, international surface sectors at turnaround will be priced as an open jaw, using half round trip fares, provided the surface sector mileage is not greater than the flown distance of the shorter of the two fare components which comprise the open jaw pricing unit.

Ticketed Point Mileages (TPMs) will be used for the surface sector mileage check. If no TPMs are published for the surface sector city pair, the TPM will be calculated by dividing the Maximum Permitted Mileage (MPM) by 1.20. If no MPM is published for the surface sector, the mileage will be determined by using Great Circle Mileage (GCM).




Example : Itinerary contains an international surface sector between HKG and BKK:

1 BA 25J 10OCT LHRHKG GK1 615P 105P‡ SU/MO 2 ARNK 3 BA 10J 15OCT BKKLHR GK1 1115P 530A‡ FR/SA

DOMESTIC FARE FOLLOWED BY INTERNATIONAL SURFACE SECTOR Impact


Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote X X Fare Display Best Buy X X Best Buy Quote X X Fare Quote Planner X X Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool X X Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background Per IATA, the fare to be charged for a journey involving international travel must be established in the currency of the country of commencement of international transportation (COC). This is either the national currency or USD where agreed by Tariff Coordinating Conferences.

In Galileo’s legacy system, when a journey commences in one country with a domestic sector and the commencement of international transportation is from a different country, with an international surface sector in between, the fare quote fails with an alert UNABLE TO QUOTE - REQUIRES SEPARATE TICKETS.

Enhancement Description When a journey originates in one country with a domestic sector, followed by an international surface sector and an international departure from a different country, the pricing response will be the lower of

1) a through fare from the country of journey origin including the surface sector, or

2) a combination of domestic sector fares plus the international fare(s), using NUC processing, with the resulting fare established in the currency of the country of commencement of international travel (COC).




Example: Itinerary:

1 BD 74C 10JUN LHRBFS HK1 1130A 1250P TU 2 ARNK 3 EI 105J 11JUN DUBJFK HK1 1030A 100P WE

Travel originates with a domestic Great Britain sector LON-BFS. There is an international surface sector followed by the first international departure from Ireland.

The point of sale is Great Britain.

If the fare is assessed from LON to NYC, the international surface sector is included in the fare component and Great Britain is the country of commencement of international transportation.

If the fare is assessed as two fare components - LON-BFS and DUB-NYC, international travel commences at DUB, and the country of commencement of international transportation is Ireland. Since the point of sale is Great Britain, the International Sales Indicator (ISI) is SOTO. The fare will be expressed in EUR and converted to GBP at the BSR.

ACCOMPANIED TRAVEL


Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Existing X X X Fare Display Best Buy Existing X X X Best Buy Quote Existing X X X Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Existing X X X Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Existing Misc.

Background In the legacy International Fare Quote (IFQ) system, the accompanied travel requirement of a fare rule was not validated, allowing discounted passenger types to be autopriced separately from required accompanying passenger.

Enhancement Description For all itineraries, all rules associated with accompanying travel when that requirement is filed by the carrier on a fare will be validated.

Any discount fares that require accompaniment by another passenger type will not autoprice separately. This applies when:

• the discounted passenger(s) are booked in a PNR/booking file separate from the accompanying passenger.

• all required passengers are booked in the same PNR/booking file, but the name select modifier is used to price passengers separately.

For the discounted passenger fares to autoprice, they must be priced in the same fare quote/ATFQ as the required accompanying passenger type. For example:

• Apollo:

• $BN1‡2*C08 (name 1 at adult fare and name 2 at child fare)

• $BN1‡3*INF (name 1 at adult fare and name 3 at infant without a seat fare)

• $BN1*CMA‡3*CMP (name 1 at the primary adult fare and name 3 at accompanying companion fare)




•

If it is necessary to price a discount passenger type alone, thereby overriding the accompanied travel requirement, both a PTC and a FIC modifier must be used with the Name Select modifier in the pricing request.

• Apollo:

• $BN2*C08/¤Y (name 2 at child fare)

• $BN3*INF/¤Y (name 3 at infant without a seat fare)

• $BN3*CMP/¤Y (name 3 at companion fare)

Note: As with all pricing entries that include a FIC modifier and override any coded rule, the resulting fare quote is not guaranteed.

Background The *IP and *IF are pricing modifiers used in both fare display and fare quote. The *IFnnn is used to increase a fare by a flat specified amount. The *IPnnn is used to increase a fare by a percentage.

Enhancement Description With this phase, these modifiers will be processed for both fare display and fare quote for all fares.

The maximum percentage allowed with the *IPxx modifier is 250%.

The *IF modifier will now allow up to a maximum of 7 numerics.

When using the *IF modifier, the system assumes the amount is the currency of country of origin. The increase is then prorated across the fare components.

For Fare Display, if the IF modifier is used in conjunction with the :NUC modifier to display the fares in NUCs, the IF amount will be converted to NUCs and added to the NUC amount.

NOTE: The :P or :C will no longer be required as in the prior release for the *IP and *IF to be processed. Further, the fare will not be guaranteed if these modifiers are used.

Background The rules text display entry displays the description of fare restrictions that apply to a fare. While this data will continue to be displayed as it is today, the enhancement includes new inputs for retrieving rules text information. The Phase 1 implementation contained these new inputs for fare display follow-on entries for ATPCO fares in all markets. Phase 1 also included the new inputs as a follow-on to fare quote for North American public and Airline Private Fares, and International Airline Private Fares.

The Phase 2 implementation expanded this functionality as a fare quote follow-on entry for all ‘same country’ ATPCO supplied public fares

With the Phase 3 implementation, this expanded functionality for fare quote follow-ons will apply to all fares and all markets.

Enhancement Description The Galileo 360° Fares International Public Fares project, phase 1, implemented a new input to display text by category abbreviation. All text data that is currently displayed using the category ‘number’ will be displayed when the corresponding ‘abbreviation’ is used.

In addition, this implementation introduces three other enhancements:

• Two new category names, DISC and DATE. These are the combination of several applicable rule paragraphs associated to dates or discounts in the rule.

• The alpha character ‘P’ that currently prefaces a rules paragraph request in Galileo and Apollo for International Fares, becomes optional.




• Industry standard (ATPCO) passenger types will be displayed in the rules text menu as applicable.

The DATE and DISC category names have already been introduced for the North American Fares direct rule display.

Standard Paragraph Numbers and Abbreviations The following lists the ATPCO standard paragraph numbers, paragraph names and three character abbreviations. With this implementation, these may be used in the rules text display request for all fares.

Note – Paragraph 0, abbreviation APP is non ATPCO standard

New Category Names for Multiple Paragraphs Two new paragraph abbreviations DATE (dates) and DISC (discount) will display the text for the categories associated to dates or discounts in the rule.




The paragraph abbreviation DATE will display all the text for the following categories. There is no numeric associated to DATE.

2 Day / Time 3 Seasonality 11 Blackout Dates 14 Travel Restrictions 15 Sales Restrictions

The paragraph abbreviation DISC will display all the text for the following categories. There is no numeric associated to DISC.

19 Children Discounts 20 Tour Conductor Discounts 21 Agent Discounts 22 All Other Discounts 25 Fare By Rule

Examples of Follow-on entries The following Apollo examples display specific paragraphs as a follow-on from Fare Quote and using the numeric and/or abbreviation.

The input to request specific paragraphs in Apollo for an IFQ Fare Quote follow-on, are currently preceded by the alpha ‘P’. (e.g. FN1/PMIN). With this change, the alpha ‘P’ will be optional.

NOTE: The sequence to display rules text from fare quote, first requires the fare quote request (Apollo - $B ). This is followed by the entry FQN. From the FQN response, all the following examples can be used to display text.

Example 1: Single Paragraph Request This is a follow on request for paragraph 20 , Tour Conductor, which is abbreviated TUC.

Apollo Display Input: FN1/PTUC or FN1/TUC (Alpha ‘P’ is optional.)

Response:

Specific categories can also be requested using numbers and/or abbreviations in a non-sequential order as they can today using solely numbers. The display, however, will be output in a sequential order.

Error Messages When invalid categories or categories not applicable are requested the response may be an error message, text display or the rules menu. Following is a menu display and examples of responses.

Note: This enhancement applies to Terminal Emulation users only. PICs will continue to be available for all non-TE users for 6 months following this implementation. Additional notification will be sent with the cutover details for these users.

Background The implementation of Galileo 360 Fares for North America and International Private Fares saw the introduction of industry standard (ATPCO) passenger types, known as PTC (Passenger Type Codes).

For this phase of the implementation, the Apollo PICs (Passenger Identification Codes) will no longer be valid for any Terminal Emulation users. Only the industry standard, ATPCO, passenger type codes (PTC’s) are to be used.

Enhancement Description Retiring PICs/PDs

After the legacy PICs are retired, when a legacy PIC code or any PTC is used for fare quote that is not filed in the Automated Rules, the system will still attempt to process the request. When there is no data coded for this PTC in automated rules, the system will default and price an Adult fare (ADT), if available. Additionally, the default message BEST FARE FOR PSGR TYPE for Apollo requests will be displayed. For example, if the invalid PTCs CHD (Child) or MMM is input, the system will process the request, fail since no data exists, and price an adult fare with the default message. If the modifier to force the passenger type is used (**PTC) and no fare is available, the pricing entry will fail and the message NO VALID FARE FOR INPUT CRITERIA will be displayed.




Example 1: When the single asterisk is used prior to the PTC code, as shown in this example, the system will attempt to find fares that match the PTC. If no matching fares are found, the lowest valid adult (ADT) fare will be returned.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote Fare Display X X X X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background Currently, the only way to know which PTC to use to quote a fare is by reading the rules text following fare display.

Enhancement Description The new PTC line in the Tariff Display will show the valid PTC to be used for Fare Quote. This new line can appear in any fare display including the default fare display where a PTC other than ADT exists for a fare.

The PTC that is shown is from the following Automated Rules records and categories:

• Record 1 – Fare Application Record

• Category 19-22 - Discount Categories

• Category 25 – Fare By Rule

• Category 28 - Visit Another Country

• Category 35 – Negotiated Fares

Additionally, the following information from the Automated Rules product must be validated for security purposes:

• Category 15 – Sale Restriction

• Category 35 – Security Table




The new PTC line in the Tariff Display will appear directly below the fare basis code. It will contain the PTC code(s) applicable to that fare basis code. When multiple PTC codes apply, there is no order or sort in their display.

Below the PTC line will be all existing fare display information such as directionality, account code, ticket code and/or ticket designator if applicable. If a fare is only valid for ADT, there will be no PTC line displayed.

The input to request all non-ADT fares is: :

• Apollo - $Dctycty10DEC-PTC

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote X X X X Fare Display X X X X Best Buy Best Buy Quote Fare Quote Planner Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping Misc.

Background The discontinuance of various discount modifiers for Fare Display and Fare Quote is part of the Phase 3 implementation. Since the Automated Rules product allows carriers the ability to instruct applicable discounts in their rule filings, some legacy discount modifiers are no longer required.

Enhancement Description There are several discount modifiers allowed for both fare display and fare quote. For this enhancement, the following discount modifiers will be discontinued for the Apollo system. Discount modifiers not listed below will continue to be processed as they currently do today. For example, the Apollo input DPnn (Discount Percentage) will continue to be processed.

If any of the following discontinued modifiers are included in the input message, the system will attempt to process the modifier. Since there is no data coded for the modifier, another fare will be priced, if applicable, along with the default message BEST FARE FOR PSGR TYPE for Apollo requests. For example, if BLnn (Blind Association), PSnn (Press) or SMnn (Ships’ Crew) is input, the system will process the request, fail since no data exists, and price an applicable adult fare with the default message.

Products Impacted North America Intl Privates Domestic Intl Publics Fare Quote X X X X Fare Display Best Buy X X X X Best Buy Quote X X X X Fare Quote Planner X X X X Fare and Schedule Display Low Fare Shop Tool X X X X Calendar Shop Optimal Shopping X Misc.

Background With the utilization of the ATPCO Automated Rules and Footnotes product, fares may be filed that apply to a specific passenger type based on geographic conditions. The new Personal Geography Modifier will provide the ability to validate fares that have been filed to include specific geographic locations where the passenger might reside or work. Fares formerly available without entering a location code will now require the addition of this new modifier in combination with a PTC code when filed by the airline.

Enhancement Description New Personal Geography Fare Quote Modifier:

This new modifier will be used to enter location information about where the passenger resides or works. This modifier should be used to quote fares that have specific locations restrictions as coded by the carrier (e.g. Must be State Government Employee, etc), and must be used in combination with a valid PTC, including ADT for adult if applicable.

The personal location modifier can be up to 5 characters long, and follows the passenger type code (PTC):

1st position – “L” to indicate presence of personal location modifier

2nd to 5th positions – used to indicate specific geographic location. This includes:

• a 2 position country code (e.g. DE – Germany)

• a 3 position city code (e.g. CHI – Chicago)

• a 4 position code consisting of a 2 position country code, followed by a 2 position US state or Canadian province code (e.g. USCO – Colorado, CAPQ – Quebec).




This new modifier must be used with a PTC code.

Examples of Personal Geography Modifier:

Fare quote for ships’ crew (SEA), location (registry) in Canada.

Apollo Input: $B*SEALCA

Fare quote for Visit Another Country (VAC), location (resident) of Florida.

Apollo Input: $B*VACLUSFL

Fare quote for government state employee (GST) only (note the **), location of Florida.

Apollo Input: $B**GSTLUSFL

Fare quote for 10 year old child resident (C10), location of Quebec.

Apollo Input: $B*C10LCAPQ

Fare quote for 65 year old senior citizen (SRC65) resident of Great Britain

Apollo Input: $B*SRC65LGB

Error messages Fare Display Application The Personal Geography Modifier will not be validated for fare display, and an error message will be given if it is used.

Apollo Input: $DCHIMIA-VACLDE

Response: INVALID MODIFIER

Personal Geography Modifier Alert A standard PTC alert stating NO VALID FARE FOR INPUT CRITERIA will be shown when the fare quote fails for passenger type entered.

Background There is currently no Bankers Selling Rate (BSR) currency conversion modifier for fare display. For a user to convert fare display amounts via BSR, they have to use a stand alone FZS entry.

Enhancement Description A new BSR currency conversion modifier for fare display will be introduced for the Phase 3 implementation. The entry, :CUR, will enable the user to select all fares in the origin Selling Currency and have them converted to the requested currency via BSR.
