How do I book an extra bag or paid service in Galileo?

End and price the booking file first. DAS* lists the airline's paid services, DAS*L4 shows line 4 and DAS01L4 books it. *DAS displays what is booked; the service is then paid on an EMD.

When

The client wants something the airline sells on top of the fare: an extra bag, sports equipment, a meal, a paid service. In Travelport+ these are ancillary services, listed and booked with DAS; once booked they are paid on an EMD.

Check first

  • The booking file is ended (ER). The Smartpoint shopping basket opens only for a closed booking file (direct payment carriers are the exception). Typed DAS entries also work before the end, in a native window.
  • A fare quote (FQ) and the frequent flyer numbers are in the booking file — both can change what is offered and at what price.

Booked services appear in the service information (*SI) field with their service code and an ASVC line. Payment and the EMD follow in Issue an EMD — EMD-A for a service, EMD-S for a fee.

Check it worked

*DAS lists the booked services, and *SI shows the matching ASVC lines.

Traps

  • Booked is not paid. The service still needs its EMD; issue it before you tell the client the bag is sorted (see Issue an EMD — EMD-A for a service, EMD-S for a fee).
  • To remove one service, cancel it like an SSR, for example SI.ABAG@; its ASVC line goes with it.
  • SI.ALL@ deletes all service information, paid ancillaries included. Use it only when you mean it.
  • DAS**R lists rule-buster services, which override the fare rules for a reissue or refund of a fare component — read the conditions carefully.
  • The wording an airline expects in the description is published per airline on My Travelport (search "EMD" plus the airline code).
