When
Use this card to start a new Galileo booking file from an existing one: the same travellers on a new trip, or the same flights for other travellers, without typing everything again.
Check first
- What you want to copy: the people (names, contacts, passport data, loyalty cards, meals), the flights, or both.
- Copying flights sells them again for the new file — make sure there are seats and that you really want a second booking.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | *K7P2QX | Opens the file to copy from. | The source of the data. |
| 2 | R.AGT | Received field. | Needed before a repeat unless autoreceive is on. |
| 3a | REALL | Copies all customer data, no flights. | Same travellers, new trip. |
| 3b | RESALL · RES2 | Copies all segments · segment 2 only, no customer data. | Same flights for other people. |
| 3c | REALLSALL | Copies customer data and all segments, including APIS, contacts, loyalty cards and meal requests. | An identical booking. |
| 3d | REALLS2 · REALLS1.3 | Customer data with segment 2 · segments 1 and 3. | Copy only part of the trip. |
| 3e | RERIALL | Copies all general itinerary remarks. | Keep your standard client texts. |
| 3f | REP.N.SI.NP.7-11 | Copies chosen fields: phones, names, service information, notepad items 7 to 11. | Pick exactly what you need. |
| 4 | complete and check | Add or change what differs (names, dates, flights). | The copy is a new booking, not a link to the old one. |
| 5 | ER | Ends the new file. | It gets its own record locator. |
| 6 | *VL | Shows the airline locators of the new file. | Must differ from the original before you change anything. |
Check it worked
The new file has its own record locator, the copied data, and — when flights were copied — its own airline locator in *VL.
Traps
- Same flights, same airline locator? After an identical copy, check that the airline gave the new file a different locator before you modify or cancel anything. Otherwise a cancel could reach the wrong travellers.
- Wrong entry, big effect.
REALLSALLcopies everything, also SSRs that may not fit the new travellers (an infant's data, a wheelchair). Prefer the narrow entries. - Passport data copied for other people is wrong data. When copying flights for new travellers, use
RESALL, notREALLSALL. - For travellers who leave an existing booking, dividing is the right tool, not repeating (Divide a booking file (take travellers out)).
