Module 1: Introduction
Welcome to Galileo Fares Level 2.
Introduction
Fares Level 2 will revise the basic concepts of the mileage system,including HIP`s, covered in Level1, before the study of more complex fareconstruction principles. The course fully utilises the Galileo system andpractises a variety of system entries related to fares, which are vital inwork situations.
This course will give you an in-depth knowledge of complex multi-sectorair fares and how they are constructed and displayed in Galileo and anyair fare travel document. It will introduce the concept of the lowestcombination of fares and the calculation of the most economical farefor a routing.
The knowledge that you gain will enable you to more accuratelyinterpret the fare breakdown which is displayed by Galileo and shownon fares related documents. This will allow you to communicate moreconfidently with colleagues, airline staff and customers with respect tofares and fare construction.
Each subject will be covered by your trainer, with demonstrations andexercises to follow. There is a 'mock' examination, or revision paper,taken prior to the exam on the final day of the course. There is a finalexamination of 3 hours' duration.
Please feel free to ask questions at any time during the course.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
• Construct fares for multi-sector journeys applying the mileagesystem, Higher Intermediate Points and Minimum Fare Checks.
• Determine fares for itineraries with more than one breakpoint.
• Calculate fares for itineraries with Surface Sectors.
• Apply Side Trip constructions.
• Assess fares for journeys of Differing Classes.
• Interpret and apply Special Fare rules to multi-sector itineraries andOpen Jaw constructions.
• Recognise Automated fare calculation area details.

Module 2: Geography (Revision)
IATA Geography
IATA Geography was covered at length in the Fares Level 1 course, sowe will take a look at this now by way of a revision. There will be noquestions in the exam about Geography for the Fares Level 2 course,but fare notes often refer to IATA areas and sub-areas so it is importantto recognise these.
If you remember, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), thegoverning body of the airline industry has, for easy reference, dividedthe world into 3 main areas:
IATA Area One:
Also known as the Western HemisphereIATA Area Two and Three:
Together these constitute the Eastern HemisphereIATA Areas are also called Traffic Conference Areas -TC1, TC2 and TC3.
These IATA areas are divided into sub-areas. The main sub-areas arelisted below and are also indicated on the maps that follow:
IATA Area One — (The Western Hemisphere)
North Atlantic - USA (including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islandsand Alaska), Canada, Mexico, Greenland.
Mid Atlantic - Bermuda, the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, Belize, CostaRica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bolivia,Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela.See later text for full list.

Global Indicators
These are codes which relate to the direction, or areas, involved in arouting. Some city pairs have different global indicators and these mayresult in different fare levels. The most common Global Indicators (GI s)are:
AT Atlantic: travel between Area 1 and Area 2 or Area 3 whichcrosses the Atlantic ocean only
e.g. DEL - LON – YHZ
CPH – MAD - RIO
PA Pacific: travel between Area 1 and Area 3 which crosses thePacfic ocean only
e.g. CHI - SFO - HKG
AP Atlantic/Pacific: travel between Area 2 and Area 3 which crossesboth the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
e.g. LON - SEA – SYD
BKK - HNL - CHI – STO
TS Trans - Siberian: travel between Area 2 and Area 3, whichcontains a non-stop sector between Europe and Japan or Europe andKorea
e.g. TYO - LON - GLA
MAN - AMS - OSA - HKG
SEL - ROM - DUB
WH Western Hemisphere: travel within Area 1
e.g. LAX - MEX - LIM
EH Eastern Hemisphere: travel within and between Area2 and Area3
e.g. LON - ROM - SIN - SYD
TYO - DEL - KWI - IST
AMS - ROM - NBO
JNB - DXB – CAI
A list of Global Indicators is available in Galileo by using the entry:H/INDI
Module 2: Geography Revision
Galileo Fares Level 2 23
So what happens when a journey’s routing seems to contain 2 or moreGlobal Indicators?
The Global Indicators are prioritised as follows:
For any route crossing an ocean, i.e. AT / PA / AP, the Global Indicatorcrossing the ocean will take precedence/priority.
RGN - SEL - HNL - LAX
EH PA WA Routing is PA
For travel within the Eastern Hemisphere, the TS routing takesprecedence/priority.
LON - PAR - ROM - TYO - SYD
EH EH TS EH Routing is TS
The following chart will ensure you select the correct Global Indicator.Use the chart and confirm the answers to the following routes.
RIO – BUE - WH GVA-ROM - EH
PAR – TYO - TS NYC-MAD - AT

Galileo Fares Level 2 25
Module 3: Fare Display & Mileage Fares (Revision)
In the Fares Level 1 course we focused on point to point fares and Mileagefares for multi sector routes, with and without HIP`s. To look up the fares wehave to use a combination of the fare display and the flown mileage display.Fares are quoted in NUC`s:
Fare Display Basic Entry:
FD14FEBLONHKG
FD Fare Display Function Identifier
14FEB Date of Travel (if unspecified - defaults to today’s date)
LON Boardpoint (Origin) - if unspecified defaults to address of PC
HKG Offpoint (Destination)
The date may be input before, after or between the city-pair:
FD14FEBLONHKG
FDLONHKG14FEB
FDLON14FEBHKG
This will return all fares, both one ways and returns between Londonand Hong Kong with any carrier. Modifiers can be added to display amore specific fare display.
Fare Display Modifiers
After the initial entry, other modifiers can be added to limit the numberof fares returned in the display, like –RT for return only, /BA for BAfares, *CNN for child fares, and codes like :C to display private net fares.
Refer to Appendix A for more fare display modifiers
To display fares in NUC`s see the next section.
Reading Fare Notes
In order to read fare notes you need to access the rule paragraphs or
categories. The entry to read all fare notes is:
FN*1/ALL
1 is the line number from the fare display.
Refer to Appendix A for more fare rule formats
Module 3: Fare Display and Mileage Fares Revision
26 Galileo Fares Level 2
Neutral Units of Construction
In order to carry out all fare checks and obtain an accurate fare quotefor a multi-sector itinerary, a fare must be calculated in Neutral Units ofConstruction (NUCs), and then converted into the local currency of theissuing agency.
Neutral units of construction are an artificial ‘currency’ used toconstruct most fares and are based on the US dollar. Simple domesticfares are usually only displayed in local currency.
Each country has an IATA rate of exchange - ROE - and unless thatcountry uses the USD for air fares, it is the ROE that is used to convertNUC amounts into currency.
The Rate of Exchange is updated 4 times a year, and the new rates ofexchange apply from: -
01 JANUARY01 APRIL01 JULY01 OCTOBER
The new rates will be applicable for any fares quoted or ticketed on andafter these dates. If there is a significant fluctuation in a country’s bankrates during a quarter, currently set at 6%, these rates are liable to ad-hoc changes at the beginning of the next month.
For all Galileo fare quotes (except wholly domestic journeys), the farelevels in the linear fare quote are displayed in NUCs and the final total isconverted into local currency.
To convert NUCs into local currency, MULTIPLY by the ROE.To convert currency into NUCs, DIVIDE by the ROE.
In Galileo the following entries will automatically carry out thesecalculations for you.
FZINUC856.77NZD Converts NUCs into local currency (NZD)FZIGBP50.00NUC Converts local currency(GBP) into NUCs
Other useful currency entries:
FZI/ALL Displays the IATA ROEs for all currenciesFZIEUR Displays the current ROE for a specific currency
To obtain a Fares Display in NUCs rather than in local currency :NUCmust be added to the entry:
FD10JUNLONJNB-RT/YY:NUC
Module 3: Fare Display and Mileage Fares Revision
Galileo Fares Level 2 27
To update a fare display from currency fares to NUC`s enter:
FD:NUC
For half return fares in NUC`s enter:
FD10JUNLONJNB-RT/YY/2
The /2 will automatically show fares in NUC at half the return value.(This is extremely useful when dealing with round trip itineraries.)
Mileage Surcharges
If the flown mileage is greater than the MPM then it may be possible tocharge the through fare, but it will have to be increased (surcharged) bya fixed percentage.
The set surcharge bands are: 5% 10% 15% 20% 25%
Any surcharge over 25% would require the fare to be constructed in analternative way, this is covered in the GA2 fares course.
The mileage check, with any surcharges, is calculated automatically inresponse to the FL/ entry.
One Way Journeys
Example:
FL/LONWAWATHIST
The LWL and the HGL columns indicate the number of miles down to orup to the next surcharge band.
The check is applied to each city in sequence. Travel as far as ATH has a10M surcharge, but this is ignored as Istanbul, the final destination,indicates the complete routing has a 20M surcharge.
Module 3: Fare Display and Mileage Fares Revision
28 Galileo Fares Level 2
To apply a mileage surcharge to a fare, use the FM entry. There are 2possible formats:
FM*1
Where 1 is the line number of the fare in the fare display. This entry canonly be used following an FD entry eg: FD10JUNLONIST-OW/YY:NUC
OR
FMNUC1451.73
This is a stand-alone entry and no fare display is required, just enter theNUC amount you wish to surcharge.
Select the appropriate fare for the mileage surcharge band – in ourexample 20M.

Excess Mileage Allowances - EMA
You may remember from Level 1, certain routings have an ExcessMileage Allowance (EMA). This is a set number of miles that arededucted from the TPM total before comparison with the MPM. Thisoriginates from when no direct flights existed between two points, soyou had to go via a city to reach your destination.
The application of these deductions is generally dependent on a specificflown via point or points.
The FL/ entry will automatically apply any EMAs applicable to a routingand calculate the appropriate mileage surcharge level.
Example 1:
FL/SINKULBOMDEL
For the mileage deduction of 700 miles shown in the mileage displayabove to apply, the city specified in the remarks column must appear asa via point in the routing and these are indicated in the fare calculationarea preceded by E/. Stopovers may or may not be at these points, thatis dependent on the fare type.
For certain routings a mileage deduction is applicable but no via point isspecified. In the REMARKS column it would either show E/XXX orindicate one of the via cities that you have entered. Galileo usuallyshows the via city.
If it says Exception this may indicate a deduction for a specific carrierapplies, check the text below to see.

Mileage Check – Return Journeys
To calculate the fare for a return journey, the first step is to establish
the breakpoint (or turnaround point). For the purposes of this course,
this is the city with the highest MPM from the origin.
The fare break point can be established by using the FL/ entry - enter
the whole routing except the last city and select the city shown against
the highest MPM figure.
For the journey - SIN DEL BOM BAH CCU SIN the entry and response
would be:
FL/SINDELBOMBAHCCU
From the above it can be seen that at 4722, BAH is the point of highest
MPM from SIN. Also, there is a mileage deduction for this journey.
Carry out a separate mileage check for both the outbound and inbound
itineraries. The outbound check has been completed as far as BAH. This
is M as SINDELBOMBAH fit within the MPM.
Now look up the inbound: FL/BAHCCUSIN
This is also M as BAHCCUSIN also fits within the MPM.
Module 3: Fare Display and Mileage Fares Revision
36 Galileo Fares Level 2
Fares
The fare is assessed as 2 separate halves - the fare to the breakpoint,
the outbound fare component, and the fare from the breakpoint, the
inbound fare component.
Always select return (round trip) fares for a return journey. Half of the
return fare is to be used for the outbound fare component and half is to
be used for the inbound fare component.
To display only half return fares for a fare, add the /2 entry to the FD
entry.
Note: Current Galileo 360 Fares functionality requires that the :NUC
modifier is omitted, as half return NUC amounts will be automatically
displayed.
Example:

This is illustrated as follows in native Galileo and Smartpoint:

Return Journeys with a Mileage Surcharge
As before, the fare breakpoint can be established by using the FL/ entry- enter the whole routing, from origin, except the last city and select thecity shown against the highest MPM figure.
Outbound:
FL/PARLONJEDAUHCAICAS
The city with the highest MPM is AUH so this is the breakpoint. Thesurcharge to the breakpoint is 5M.
Now carry out a separate mileage check for the inbound journey fromthe breakpoint back to the point of origin, so add the last city.
Inbound:
FL/AUHCAICASPAR
From the breakpoint back to origin is a 25M.

Module 4: Higher Intermediate Point – HIP Check (Revision)
HIP`s were covered in detail in Level 1. All exercises from now on willrequire a HIP check.
A Higher Intermediate Point is a fare between any 2 ticketed points in afare component, which is higher than the origin to destination fare. Thefare for the component must be raised to the higher intermediate farelevel. This check is also known as the HIF check – Higher IntermediateFare.
• Only stopover points are checked
• Restricted Normal Fares (secondary level fares) such as Y2, J2and F2 fares may be used for the HIP check, if the stopover andtransfer conditions of the secondary level are applicable to theportion of the routing being checked, and if the fare has beenfiled as a Normal Fare
• If more than one HIP is found, the the highest fare must beused for the calculation. If two or more of the highest fares arethe same level, either may be used or shown
• If a mileage surcharge has been calculated this must be appliedto the Higher Intermediate Point
To ensure all points are assessed, check fares:
1. From the origin to intermediate points.
2. From intermediate points to the destination.
3. Between intermediate points.
For the purposes of this course illustrate all HIPs found in the calculationin the HIP box.

Always use half round trip (/2) fares for checking HIPs.
To ensure all points are assessed, check fares:
1. From the origin to intermediate points.
2. From intermediate points to the destination.
3. Between intermediate points.
All HIPs are used in the `direction of travel` except for HIPs checked

Galileo Fares Level 2 51
Module 5: One Way Backhaul Check
A One Way Backhaul check is a minimum check applied to one way
fares with a HIP from origin to a stopover point.
The minimum fare is calculated on basic unsurcharged fare levels asfollows:
1.HIP/HIF from origin
- Origin to destination fare
= Difference
+ HIP from origin
= MINIMUM FARE
2.
Compare the minimum fare to total constructed fare andcharge whichever is higher.
a. If charging the minimum fare, calculate a plus up, which isthe difference between the minimum fare and the total fare.
Minimum fare
- Total fare
= Plus up
b. If the total constructed fare is higher, this must be chargedand no plus up is calculated.
Exceptions:
The One Way Backhaul Check does not apply to:
• Fare Components/Pricing Units wholly within Europe
• Journeys wholly between Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay,Uruguay and IATA Area 2
• Journeys wholly within IATA Area 1
A journey is the whole or total ticket, and a Pricing Unit is only thatindividual portion of the fare construction.
Module 5: One Way Backhaul Check
52 Galileo Fares Level 2
One Way Backhaul Check
The e-ticket is an automated record stored in both the booked airline(s)and Galileo`s database. Other types of tickets such as ATB/OPTAT andeven manual tickets are no longer distributed in many countries,including the UK.
When an e-ticket is issued a copy is avaible to see in Galileo and is calledthe e-ticket record or ETR. Each ticket issued will have it`s own ETR toview.
This is an example of an ETR in Smartpoint. To display the ETR you needto enter *HTE or click on the *HTE command box in Smartpoint:

Module 6: Circle Trip Minimum - CTM
All circle trips are subject to the Circle Trip Minimum Check (CTM). Firstwe need to establish the difference between a round trip and a circletrip.
Journey TypesROUND TRIPThis is a return itinerary consisting of only two fare components forwhich the outbound and the inbound fares are the same, or if theydiffer, this is only due to differences of season, day of week or class.
Examples:

Module 6: Circle Trip Minimum CTM
Galileo Fares Level 2 59
Circle Trip Minimum Check
The fare for a Circle Trip must not be less than the direct route
return fare from the origin to the highest rated stopover point on
the itinerary.
1. Check all direct round trip fares from the origin to all relevantstopover cities.
Note: A direct restricted normal fare e.g. J2, Y2 may be used for this
check irrespective of the stopover and routing restrictions of the
fares rules, unlike the HIP check, however ensure the fare is filed as a
Normal Fare.
2. The highest round trip fare from the origin will be the minimum fare.
3. Compare the minimum fare to the total constructed fare and chargewhichever is higher.
a. When the minimum fare is higher calculate a plus up -
this is the difference between the minimum fare and
the total constructed fare:
Minimum Fare
- Total Fare
= Plus Up
b. If the constructed total fare is higher than the minimum
fare level, then this must be charged and no plus-up
calculated.
For Journeys Originating in Australia or New Zealand:
• For round the world fares originating in Australia or NewZealand, the CTM check does not apply. e.g.SYDLAXLONSINSYD.
For all other journeys, the CTM check is applied to all ticketed points.

Module 7: Fare Components Over 25M
One Way Journeys over 25M
When a mileage check is applied from the origin to the destination of a
one way routing, and the result is in excess of 25M, then the through fare
cannot be collected and additional fare breakpoints must be identified.
Basic guidelines which generally produce the lowest fare are:
• Break the fare as little as possible.
• Break the fare at a point where there is the sharpest change indirection of travel.
Reference may be made to a map, and in the System you can
use the FL/ entry to establish the breakpoint.
Entry:FL/LONBRULISMADGVAIST
Response:
EXC indicates the 25M surcharge band is exceeded, and if, as above, thisis shown against a destination, then the through fare cannot becollected, and for fare construction, the itinerary must be broken atanother city.
This is established by looking back up the LVL column and selecting apoint that is within mileage, or has a mileage surcharge against it.
Module 7: Fare Components Over 25M
Galileo Fares Level 2 67
From the response screen on the previous page, it can be seen that LISis the best breakpoint. At 10M it is within the 25M surcharge band.Beyond LIS the maximum surcharge band is exceeded.
If a map is referred to, it can be seen that Lisbon is the point at whichthere is the sharpest change of direction in the routing:
LON
BRU
GVA
MADIST
LIS
For this itinerary two one way fare components must be calculated:
LON LIS and LIS IST
When assessing these, use one way fares in the direction of travel.
Separate mileage checks and HIP checks must be applied to each farecomponent.
It is permissible to break fares at transit (no stopover) points as well asat stopover points.
Now check the mileage from LIS to IST. It is possible to select IST, oreven GVA or MAD as a further breakpoint, however, usually the fewerthe breakpoints the lower the fare for the client.
Entry:FL/LISMADGVAIST
Response:
When fare quoting an itinerary, Galileo will select the breakpoint whichgives the lowest fare.

For a return journey, establish the initial fare breakpoint based on thehighest MPM from the origin. Use the FL/ entry to establish thebreakpoint:
For a journey:WLG AKL LAX HKG KUL DEL BKK SYD WLG
First Component/PUC
Notice that the entry with the highest MPM from origin is DEL, at 9457.However, the routing from WLG to DEL exceeds 25M. An additionalbreakpoint must be found. Looking down the LVL column in the display,the only possibility is LAX.
Second Component/PUC
DEL is within the maximum 25M surcharge from LAX, so no additionalbreakpoints are needed.

Important Points to Remember for a Round Trip
• Establish breakpoint – city based on the highest MPM from origin
• Carry out separate mileage and HIP checks on each section
• Use half round trip fares throughout
• All fares must be used in the direction of travel, except the last farecomponent, ending in the country of origin. For this component,fares and HIPs must be used FROM the country of origin, ie: theopposite direction of travel
Galileo Fares Level 2 80
Module 8: Indirect Travel Limitations
There are 3 general indirect travel limitations that govern the way inwhich a fare for a multi-sector itinerary is collected. They are all relatedto the duplication of a city in an itinerary.
A fare component must not contain more than:
A. One departure from its point of originB. One arrival at its point of destinationC. One stopover at any one intermediate ticketed point
If any of the above situations occur, then the through fare from origin todestination cannot be collected and a combination of two or more faresis required.
A. A fare component must not include more than one departurefrom point of origin:
LONBRU
X/LONSINKUL
The through fare LON KUL cannot be collected as there are twodepartures from LON. It does not matter for the second departurewhether LON is a stopover or a transit point.
There are two possible calculations:
1) Collect LON to BRU and BRU to KUL as 2 x one way fares
LONBRU BA 200.00X/LON BASIN SQ MKUL SQ 2000.00
2200.00
2) Collect the LON BRU return fare and LON KUL one way fare
LONBRU BA 150.00X/LON BA 150.00SIN SQ MKUL SQ 1800.00
2100.00The lowest of these calculations should be charged - option 2.

B. A fare component must not include more than one arrival at itspoint of destination:LONHKGTYOOSATYO
The through fare LON TYO cannot be collected as there are two arrivalsat the destination TYO.

When using the FL/ entry to check mileage, the system recognises thesituations in which the first two indirect travel limitations apply andresponds with a warning message.

C. A fare component must not include more than one stopover atany one intermediate ticketed pointEDI EDI EDILON LON LONX/CAI CAI X/CAISSH SSH SSHX/CAI X/CAI CAIAMM AMM AMMBEY BEY BEY
For all of the above itineraries, the through fare EDI BEY can becollected. Although CAI occurs twice in the routing, there is never morethan one stopover at that city, therefore the rule is not broken.
Module 8: Indirect Travel Limitations
82 Galileo Fares Level 2
But for the following routing:EDILONCAISSHCAIAMMBEY
The EDI BEY through fare cannot be collected. There is more than onestopover at CAI which breaks the rule of the third indirect travellimitation.
There are two possible contructions that can be applied:
1) Collect the one way through fare plus the side trip. The side trip isconsidered as a separate return journey and is not included in themileage check on the through fare.The calculation is:
First – the one way fare EDI BEY calculated with the following cities,which must include the common ticketed point of CAIEDILONCAIAMMBEY
The mileage check for the throughfare is applied excluding the side trip
Second – plus the side trip CAI SSH CAI, charged at the return fare level
2) Collect the fare to and from the city between the duplicate stopoverpoints, so that these stopover points are in different farecomponents, ie: collect the EDI SSH and the SSH BEY one way fares.
Separate mileage and HIP checks apply to each fare component.
As can be seen from the FL/ entry below, if the entire routing isinput, a warning message is generated as Galileo recognises that thesame point occurs twice in the routing.

Return Journeys
The first two indirect travel limitations are also applicable to returnjourneys. For the following routing, using the usual guidelines, HongKong would be the breakpoint, being the point of highest MPM fromLondon.
LONHKGSHAHKGLON
But if the first HKG was the only breakpoint there would be twodepartures from the origin of the second fare component (HKG) whichis not allowed.
LONHKG 3000.00SHAHKG M Not Permitted !LON 3000.00
If the second HKG was the only breakpoint there would be two arrivalsat the destination of the fare component (HKG).
LONHKGSHA MHKG 3000.00 Not Permitted !LON 3000.00
One solution is to make Shanghai the breakpoint.
LON MHKG LONHKGSHA 3000.00HKG M/// LONHKGLON 3000.00

Or alternatively, sector fares or Pricing Units or Subjourneys could becollected.

This is a combination of two round trip fares:
LON-HKG-LON and HKG-SHA-HKG
Then the RSC - Return Subjourney Check LON-SHA-LON NUC5000.00would be compared against the total of NUC6400.00, however as thetotal is higher, there would be no plus-up.
The third indirect travel limitation will apply equally to a farecomponent of a return journey. If, having established the initialbreakpoint, the outbound or inbound fare component contains aduplicate or common ticketed point, then the same procedure applies.
In the example below the breakpoint, the point of highest MPM fromthe origin, is SIN. However the outbound fare component contains 2stops at BAH and therefore either the side trip BAH-DMM-BAH shouldbe additionally collected, or the fare additionally broken at DMM.

Module 9: Surface Sectors
There are instances when passengers travel part of their itinerary bysurface transportation eg: by train, ferry, car, coach etc.
The very simple instruction that applies to these itineraries is:
1. Calculate the through fare including the surface sector.All cities are checked for mileage and HIPs.
OR
2. Calculate the sum of the fares to and from the surface break.
The lower of these two calculations should be charged.
For the following routing:
GLAEI
KLDUB
AMSSURFACE
LUXLG
PARAF
ROM
The 2 calculations would be:
1. The through fare GLA-ROM - include the surface sector in themileage check
- check all cities for HIPs
2. The fare for GLA-AMS plus the fare for LUX-ROM.
In the fare calculation area, the surface sector is shown according to thecalculation which is used.

Permissable Surface Sectors
Between certain specified cities, when an itinerary contains a surfacebreak, the through fare may be calculated without including the TPM ofthe surface break. Some examples follow:
Between: Cuzco and La Paz-Bolivia, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, Antwerpand Brussels.
The passenger Air Tariff contains a full list, and Galileo is programmedwith the information.
Unreasonable Connections
Between certain specified cities, when an itinerary is almost acircle/round trip other than the surface break, a surface break isallowed without including the TPM, and also round trip fares can beused. Some examples follow:
Between: Venice and Ljubljana, Malaga and Tangier, Faro and Seville.
The Passenger Air Tariff contains a full list.
TPM Check
When a fare has a surface break and the TPM total prior to the surfacebreak is less than the TPM surface break, the fare up to and then fromthe surface break must be ticketed separately.
Example:LON TPMPAR 220
X 647 2 separate tickets – the TPM total before the
VIE surface break is 220, less than the TPM of theBKK 5235 surface break - 647
Galileo is programmed to prompt this principle.
Module 9: Surface Sectors
96 Galileo Fares Level 2
Return Journeys (Normal Fares)
A journey containing two international fare components, with a surfacesector, either at the origin or destination or both may be referred to asa Normal Open Jaw (NOJ) and uses ½ return fares.
There are 3 different types of NOJ journeys where the sector is notincluded in the calculations.
1. Origin Normal Open Jaw (ONOJ)
DOMESTIC surface sector at the point of origin. Use ½ return fares.
MELBKK QF 1000.00 HALF RETURN FARESMEL QF 900.00
2. Turnaround Normal Open Jaw (TNOJ)
DOMESTIC or INTERNATIONAL surface sector at the point ofturnaround. Use ½ return fares.
Domestic at turnaround:
LONPER QF 3500.00

MELLON QF 4000.00
International turnaround:
LONJNB VS MCPT SA 2400.00

3. Double Normal Open Jaw (DNOJ)DOMESTIC surface sector at the point of origin and DOMESTICOR INTERNATIONAL surface sector at the point of turnaround.Use ½ return fares.
Domestic at origin and turnaround:

LONMEL QF 3500.00
Domestic at origin and international turnaround:
RIOLON JJ 2800.00

PARSAO AF 2900.00
However, for each International Open Jaw at the turnaround, theinternational surface sector may not have a greater TPM thanthe total TPMs of either the outbound or the inboundcomponent. If it is greater, it is not considered an Open Jaw and2 one way fares would need to be calculated.
LON TPMSXB 404
X 2 one way fares. The TPM total after the
BRU (216) surface break is 206, less than the TPM of theLON 206 surface break - 216
For each of the above examples it is also possible to calculate thefare including the surface sector as if it is to be flown. However,it would be the lowest of the two calculations that would becharged to the passenger.

Exception: For travel originating in Canada or the USA, thesurface break is permitted between countries in Europe when alltravel is via the Atlantic.
Module 9: Surface Sectors
98 Galileo Fares Level 2
The benefit of these rules is that we can charge the passenger ½return fares rather than one way fares which are usually moreexpensive. If the surface sector is international at origin then wewould have to charge one way fares as it is not included in theabove rules.

Module 10: Mixed Class Fares
Some itineraries may be a mixture of more than one class of travel ie: Yand/or C and/or F.
There are various possibile calculations that can be applied to suchitineraries:
1. The Differential Calculation
a) Calculate the through fare from origin to destination of a farecomponent in the lowest class of travel.
b) For the sectors in the higher class of travel calculate aDIFFERENTIALi.e. subtract the applicable lower class fare from the applicable higherclass fare.
If there are consecutive sectors in a higher class, the differential can becalculated using through fares and will require a separate mileagecheck.
c) Add the differential to the lower class through fare to obtain a totalfare.
Special fares may not be used!
2. The Through fare in the Higher Class of Travel
Calculate the through fare at the highest class of travel.
If this fare is used, upgrade the passengers' reservation and theirbaggage for the rest of the journey !
3. Sectorise by Class
Calculate the sum of the applicable fares for each portion of the routingflown in a different class of service.
Beware hidden checks !
The lowest of these 3 or 4 calculations should be charged, either thesector differential, the through differential if applicable, the throughfare in the higher class, or the sectorised fare.
Module 10: Mixed Class Fares
Galileo Fares Level 2 105
Mixed Class One Way Journeys
For the following routing:
STOSK C
RJ CLON
AMMRJ F
MCTGF F
DXBAI C
BOM
The calculations are:
1.a) STO-BOM C class through fare, plus the differential for AMM-DXBi.e. the AMM-DXB F fare minus the AMM-DXB C fare, with a mileagecheck.
b) STO-BOM C class through fare, plus the differential for AMM-MCTand then the differential for MCT-DXBi.e. the AMM-MCT F fare minusthe AMM-MCT C fareplusthe MCT-DXB F fare minusthe MCT-DXB C fare
2. The STO-BOM F class through fare
3. The STO-AMM C class fare, plus the AMM-DXB F class fare, plus theDXB-BOM C class fare
Often, the lowest of these calculations is the “differential” calculation.For the purposes of this course, only either differential calculation isrequired.
The calculation of the differential using through fares has a separatemileage check, and is also subject to a separate HIP check. However forthe purpose of this course the HIP check can be ignored as no examplesillustrated contain HIPs on differentials.

Mixed Class Return Journeys
These are calculated using the same procedure as one way fares. Thereare 2 relevant points to remember when calculating the differential:-
1. Use half round trip fares.
2. Look up the fares for the differential in the same direction as thelower class fare components. For the last fare component into thecountry of origin, assess the differentials from the country of origin i.e.the opposite direction to travel.
Example:STO OutboundLON SK C Differential AMM-MCT useAMM RJ C AMM-MCT half return faresMCT RJ FDXB GF F InboundCAI MS F Differential MCT-CAI useSTO SK C CAI-MCT half return fares
Two examples of a mixed class return fare calculation, using thedifferential method are illustrated.
Notice that although the three higher class sectors are adjoining, oncethe breakpoint is established, one higher class sector is in the outboundcomponent and the remaining two in the return component! Thereforeeach differential is assessed only within its component.
If a return journey is classified as a circle trip, a circle trip check must beactioned in the lowest class of fare.
Each calculation is illustrated on the following pages.

Module 11: Special Fares
For many travellers, the major factor influencing the decision aboutwhich flights to book is cost, followed by the standard of service. Specialfares, in general, cost less than normal fares but they are governed bymore restrictive conditions. They were commonly used by the leisuretraveller, but are becoming increasingly used for business travel.
Depending on the type of special fare, they may be restricted in relationto:
Advance purchase requirementMinimum stayMaximum stayStopovers and routings/transfers
Other factors that may affect the final fare to be charged are:
Season - identified within the fare basis code by:H = High SeasonL = Low SeasonK/J/F/T/Q/Y = Shoulder Season (if applied used in this order)
Day of the week - identified within the fare basis code by:X = Midweek TravelW = Weekend Travel

The following fare "tier" illustrates the lowest fare types, which aremost commonly purchased, to the highest fare type. Airlines own faresand IATA fares are found within any fare type.
In addition to these fare types, airlines use many other kinds of fares,such as Seat Sales, Category 25 and 35 fares and many other types ofdiscounted fares.

Fare Selection
In order to determine if a special fare suits a specific routing and datesof travel, the fare display and fare notes must be accessed in order tofirst check advance purchase, stopover and transfer information,minimum stay and maximum stay as appropriate. When these arechecked and confirmed applicable for your client, read the remainder ofthe rule to ensure all conditions apply.
Some carriers specify alternative instructions to the information thatfollows. The information listed below is general, however please checkall fare rules when quoting a client.
Advance PurchaseIf checking a fare with an advance purchase deadline in days, theneither:
• add the number of days to the date of purchase and ensure thisdate comes before the date of travel:*TAA/26JUN/+14
• deduct the number of days from the departure date and ensurethis date comes on or before the date of purchase:*TAA/10JUL/14
StopoversThis occurs when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is notscheduled to depart within 24 hours of arrival, unless a rule states adifferent duration - 12hrs, 6hrs etc.
When stopovers are chargeable they are considered either Specified orUnspecified and are illustrated a little differently.
Unspecified - rule permits one or more free stopovers plus additionalchargeable stopovers (see SpecialFare with Stopover example).
Specified - rule permits no free stopovers, only chargeable (see SpecialFare HIP example).
TransferThis is a change from one aircraft to another.
An Online Transfer is a change from the service of a carrier to anotherservice of the same carrier.An Interline Transfer is a change from the service of one carrier to theservice of a different carrier.
Minimum StayMinimum stay in days:- for transatlantic journeys add the number of days to the date ofoutbound transatlantic travel. The date of inbound transatlantic travelmust commence on or after this day. This would also apply totranspacific journeys.
Module 11: Special Fares
Galileo Fares Level 2 131
- for all other journeys add to the date of outbound international travelcheck that the date of inbound international travel from the laststopover point is on or after this day.
SU - this indicates that the Sunday Rule applies - this states that returntravel from the point of turnaround must not commence until theSunday following arrival, i.e. the passenger must stay a Saturday nightat the destination.
Maximum StayIn days - add the number of days to the date of outbound travel.*TAA/10JUL/+35
In months - add the number of calendar months to the date ofoutbound travel.
SeasonalTransatlantic journeys - the date of the outbound transatlantic sectordetermines the season for the entire journey. This would also apply totranspacific journeys.
All other journeys - the date of departure for the first outboundinternational sector determines the season for the entire journey.
Weekday/WeekendTravel
Transatlantic travel - the day of the week of the outbound transatlanticsector determines the outbound fare and the day of the week of theinbound transatlantic sector determines the inbound fare.
All other journeys - the day of the week of the outbound internationalsector determines the outbound fare and the day of the week of theinbound international sector determines the inbound fare.
Generally, weekday travel is Monday through to Thursday and weekendtravel is Friday through to Sunday, however the fare rule should bechecked for any differences to this.

Higher Intermediate Point Check
As with normal fares, there is a HIP check on Special fares. The
procedure is slightly different as it is only necessary to check:
• From the origin to all points
• From all points to the destination (breakpoint)
Therefore there is NO check carried out between intermediate points.
Only STOPOVER points are checked and any mileage surcharges
are applied to the HIP as per the usual procedure.
There is a further condition that applies to the HIP check on
special fares.
1. Check origin to all cities, and all cities to destination for a specialfare HIP. Compare fares of the same type and conditions.e.g. YLEE2M to YLEE2M
2. If any HIPs are found, use the city pair with the highest HIP.
3. If there is not a fare of exactly the same fare basis, compare tothe fare of the same type with most similar conditions.e.g. YLEE4M to YEE3M
If no fare of the same type exists use a fare of the next higher fare
type for comparison. Compare in this order:
e.g. When checking a YLSX3M fare -
if no YLSX3M exists for comparison then compare to any
PEX fare, if none compare to the excursion fare.
If no suitable special fare is found for comparison, then charge
the special fare without a HIP. A normal fare must not be
applied as a HIP on special fares.
The conditions and rules of the special fare originally selected will applyto the whole itinerary.
This information regarding HIPs on Special Fares is not part ofthe course, however it is important that you have anunderstanding of the principle.
Module 11: Special Fares
Galileo Fares Level 2 135
The following flow chart may be useful when carrying out the special fare HIP check.
Having established the origin to breakpoint special fare level apply the HIP check separately for eachfare component as follows:
* Remember to compare the most similar type of fare, and if none exist, compare with a higher faretype, but do not use the normal fare for the comparison.
Check the Origin to Intermediate and Intermediate toDestination for a higher special fare of the same type. Is
there a special fare of the same type for comparison?
Is this fare higher thanthe Origin to
Destination SpecialFare?
Is there a higher specialfare type to use for the
comparison?
Use special fare Originto Destination for this
component.
Is this higher than theOrigin to Destination
special fare?
Apply this higher ½ RTspecial fare for this
component.

Open Jaw Special Fares
Open Jaw (OJ) is sometimes used as a general term to describe returnjourneys where there is a void or surface sector at the point of origin orpoint of turnaround.
Technically, an Open Jaw Special Fare consists of 2 international farecomponents, constructed to and from a surface break(s).
There are different types of Open Jaws:
Single Open Jaw – SOJ
JNB LONJNB
LON X direction of faresCPT
CPT LON
When the fare is collected to a surface sector at the turnaround point,this may also be called:
Turnaround Single Open Jaw – TSOJTurnaround Open Jaw – TOJ
RIO MADRIO
MAD X direction of faresBUE

To find out whether a Special Fare can be contructed as an Open Jawbasis, the application paragraph of the fare rule, paragraph 0, must bechecked.
For the following routing the VS YHEE6M fare is applicable for the dates oftravel.
LONVS 07JAN
SURFACEJNB
CPTVS 20JAN
LON
Paragraph 0 is checked to see if an Open Jaw construction is applicableand if any specific instructions exist, such as "OJ must be in the samecountry."
For the purposes of this course only the open jaw construction isrequired for special fares, the alternative calculation of treating thesurface sector as flown is not required, although this is a possiblecombination.
This rule allows any type of Open Jaw, without any specific instructions.Now ½ return LONJNB plus ½ return LONCPT of the same fare basis, areused for the construction.

Pricing Units – PUC A journey or part of a journey that could, if chosen, be ticketed separately.Each one way fare component is considered one Pricing Unit, and eachreturn trip calculation is considered one Pricing Unit.
Subjourney The definition can be considered the same as a Pricing Unit, other than theexpression is generally used when there is more than one Pricing Unit.
Stopovers A stopover is a stay of 24 hours or more at any city between the origin anddestination of a journey. Stopovers are permitted at the passenger’s requestat any scheduled point, provided it is not prohibited by either the routing orthe fare note, and the passenger arranges and specifies it on the ticket inadvance, to enable the journey to be calculated correctly.
Counting of Stopovers Return fare breakpoints or construction points are not consideredstopovers, neither is the surface sector of an open jaw type journey. Anyintermediate cities visited for more than 24 hours are considered stopovers,unless a fare rule restricts this further e.g. 12hrs, 6hrs. If a fare has a surfacesector, other than an open jaw type fare, the last point of arrival by air andthe first point of departure by air on each break together are considered onestopover.
Transfer A transfer is a change from one flight (service) to another at an intermediatepoint which can be less than 24 hours or more than 24 hours.
• An online transfer is a change from the service of one carrier to anotherservice of the same carrier.
• An interline transfer is a change from the service of one carrier to theservice of another carrier.
• A domestic transfer is a change from one domestic flight to anotherdomestic flight (note: Domestic is within the same country).
• An international transfer is a change from one international flight toanother international flight (note: International is from one country toanother different country).
Transit No longer an official definition, but commonly used when a passenger has atransfer at an airport, but does not have a stopover at that airport.
Weekday/Midweek Monday through to Thursday (although some fare rules state otherwise).
Weekend Friday through to Sunday (although some fare rules state otherwise).

Fares System Logic
For the purpose of the principles covered in the course we will use IATAfares, however, as a general rule, a carrier specific fare is alwaysselected over an IATA fare. An IATA fare is selected onlywhen there is no carrier specific fare for the journey.
The carrier whose fare is selected by Galileo, is the airline whichparticipates in the sector which crosses between the IATA areas or subareas. This carrier's fare is then used for checking rules, routings etc
Within Europe
Sector Carrier TPM Fare to use:CPH LON SK 594 Use the lower result of either the fare for:LON BRU BA 206 a) the first International sector (SK)BRU MAD IB 818 b) the sector with the highest TPM (IB) or
TPM total (IB)MAD CAS IB 539
The carrier fare selection rules used for journeys (fare components)within Europe are laid down by governmental and IATA resolutions, andmay be found in tariff publications. Carrier fare selection for otherjourneys is not, currently, subject to such regulation. The followingcriteria is the Galileo fare selection system.
Crossing One OceanSector Carrier Fare to use:NYC FRA LH Use the carrier which crosses the ocean (LH)FRA SIN SQSIN MNL SQ
Note: There is an exception to this when a journey is between IATA Area2 and 3 via Area 1, then the carrier that crosses from the first visitedIATA Area into the second is used.

IATA - International Air Transport Association
IATA is the global trade association for the airline industry,with its main offices in Montreal, Canadaand Geneva, Switzerland. It was founded in 1919, and in its present form IATA brings together over230 airlines whose flights comprise of more than 93% of all international scheduled air travel.
The airline industry is one of the fastest changing industries in the world and as such, all airlinesneed to co-operate with one another to provide an apparently seamless interlinking service forpassengers.
IATA is involved in every aspect of an airline's operation. It does not set the rules but acts as anintermediary between different airlines; between airlines and governments; and between airlinesand travel agents in relation to passengers and freight, therefore enabling discussions and decisionsto be made that affect the entire industry.The main objectives of IATA are:
• To promote safe and regular air transport for passengers, cargo and mail, and to encourageair commerce.
• To provide a forum for collaboration among the air transport companies.
• To co-operate with the International Civil Aviation Organisation and other InternationalOrganisations.
To give you a better understanding of what IATA is involved in, listed below are some of thecategories. If you wish to look further into any aspect, IATA offers detailed information on each ofthe categories on their Website - www.iata.org
• Air Traffic Management
• Airports
• Aviation Information and Research
• BSP - Billing and Settlement Plan - Distribution of Travel Agency Revenue
• Cabin Health
• Cargo
• IATA Clearing House - Revenue Accounting
• Crisis Management - service issues which may affect the industry e.g. war

Galileo Fares Level 2 153
BSP - Billing and Settlement Plan
This is IATA's stand-alone financial settlement organisation. Operating in economically stablecountries, BSP provides a central airline accounting system which enables agents to issue a neutralticket type, which is reported centrally, as opposed to keeping a stock of all airlines' tickets, and thenreporting the sales each month to all applicable carriers.
ICAO - International Civil Aviation Organisation
In 1944 the governments of the world agreed to set up this organisation to establish standards in theareas of navigation, equipment and safety.
The aim of the ICAO is to ensure the safe and orderly growth of civil aviation by:
• Encouraging aircraft design to meet the need for safe, efficient and economical airtransportation
• Preventing economic waste caused by unreasonable competition
• Avoiding discrimination between states
• Promoting safety and development in all aspects of civil aviation
In 1947 the ICAO became an agency of the United Nations, with its head office in Montreal and hasbecome an intergovernmental organisation leading the co-ordination of national standards andcontrol over international activity.
CAA - The UK Civil Aviation Authority
The CAA was established in the UK by Parliament in 1972 as an independent aviation regulator. Theresponsibilities include:
• Safety Regulator
• Economic Regulation
• Airspace Policy
• Consumer Protection
• Environmental Research and Consultancy
The aims and objectives of the CAA are:
• To ensure that UK civil aviation standards are set and achieved
• To regulate airlines, airports and National Air Traffic Services, economic activities andencourage a diverse and competitive industry
• To manage the UK's principal travel protection scheme ATOL, licence UK airlines and manageconsumer issues.
• To bring civil and military interests together to ensure that the airspace needs of all users aremet as equitably as possible.

ATOL - Air Travel Organisers' Licensing
ATOL provides financial protection for holidaymakers in the event of an air travel firm becominginsolvent. Formed in 1972 it now gives consumer protection to 28 million people in the UnitedKingdom who purchase flights or holidays each year.
An ATOL licence is compulsory for agents who assemble their own travel packages, and is managedby the Civil Aviation Authority. ATOL is the only protection scheme for both flights and air holidayssold by tour operators in the UK.
ABTA - Association of British Travel Agents
ABTA is the UK's Premier Trade Association for Tour Operators and Travel Agents. ABTA's membersnumber approximately 800 Tour Operators and 6700 Travel Agency offices, and are responsible forbooking 80% of UK sold holidays.
ISO - International Organisation for Standardisation
The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is a worldwide federation of nationalstandards bodies from more than 140 countries.
Established in 1947 the ISO is a non-governmental organisation whose mission is:
• To develop standardisation and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating theinternational exchange of goods.
• To develop co-operation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economicactivities.
In the travel industry ISO are responsible:
• For the standardisation of many codes and abbreviations, e.g. country codes and currencycodes.
BAA - British Airports Authority
The largest single airport operator in the world, BAA is a retailer and developer.
BAA owns seven of the UKs airports, which includes Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Glasgow,Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Southampton.
