How do I price a child or infant in Galileo?

When

Not everyone in the booking is a plain adult: a child, an infant, a young person, a seaman. Each needs its passenger type code (PTC) in the quote, or Travelport+ prices them as adults.

Check first

The easiest way is to put the type in the name field when you create the names; FQ then picks it up by itself (see Names for adults, children and infants).
Children need their age in the code (C08 = child aged 8) when the airline files age-based fares or taxes; CNN is the generic child code.
Do you know the code? PTC/S lists the codes that start with S.

Steps

#	Entry	What it does	Why
1	`N.HORVAT/LUKA MSTR*P-C08 DOB14MAY18`	Child name with type C08 and date of birth (a space before `DOB`).	`FQ` prices him as a child aged 8 without extra modifiers.
2	`N.I/HORVAT/EVA MISS*15MAR26`	Infant name with date of birth.	Infants in the name field get the infant rate automatically.
3	`FQ`	Prices everyone by the type in the name field.	The normal case once names are right.
4	`FQP1.2*C08`	Passenger 1 as adult, passenger 2 as a child aged 8.	When the type is not in the name field.
5	`FQP1.3-4*CNN`	Passenger 1 adult, passengers 3 and 4 at the child fare.	Several children in one entry.
6	`FQP1.2*YTH15`	Passenger 1 adult, passenger 2 youth aged 15.	Youth fares where the airline files them.
7	`FQSEA` · `FQ*SEA`	Seaman fares or adult, whichever is cheaper · seaman fares only.	One star = that type plus adult; two stars = that type only.
8	`FQ*C06/ACC`	A child aged 6 whose adult is on a different booking file.	Keeps the child fare although the adult is priced elsewhere.
9	`FQP1*C10/ACC2`	Child (passenger 1) travelling with two adults booked separately.	Same, when the rule counts the adults.

Check it worked

The quote shows a separate fare for each passenger type. Check that the child's line carries the child code you meant (not ADT) and that the infant has an infant fare.

Traps

Quote the child and the adult together. A discounted passenger who must be accompanied, priced in a separate FQ, gets the full fare — unless you add /ACC.
Passenger numbers must go up: FQP1.2, never FQP2.1.
A new infant is linked to passenger 1 by default. If the infant travels on another adult's lap, link it to that adult — the entry differs before and after end transact (see Names for adults, children and infants).
With some airlines in some markets the child reference must stand before the asterisk in the name; check the airline's rule.
