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.

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

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

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?

Whom do you want to receive this contract and what security levels do

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
•

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

However, you may wish to also amend those Add-on fares which use that
zone.

ASK Travelport 6623: How do I copy a Gateway or Interior zone used in

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.

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:

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.
