How do I convert currency and NUC in Galileo?

FZIUSD shows the IATA rate of exchange, FZINUC812.40EUR converts NUC to EUR, FZSUSD250.00EUR converts at the bank selling rate and FQ:EUR shows a quote in EUR. Add a date such as .05SEP26 for a past rate.

When

A fare calculation shows NUC amounts, the client wants a price in another currency, or you need to check a conversion in a fare (for example a refund or a manual calculation).

How the money moves: international fares are built in NUC (neutral units of construction). The IATA rate of exchange (ROE) turns NUC into the currency of the country where the journey starts; a bank selling rate then converts between two real currencies, such as that currency and yours.

Check first

  • Know which rate you need: ROE for NUC amounts, bank selling rate for currency-to-currency.
  • For a past sale (refund, exchange), check which date's rate the calculation needs.

Check it worked

The answer gives the rate and the converted amount. Bank-rate conversions are rounded; add /U (for example FZSUSD250.00EUR/U) for the exact figure.

Traps

  • ROE and bank selling rate are not interchangeable. Using the bank rate on a NUC amount, or the ROE between two currencies, gives a wrong price.
  • Rates move over time. When a calculation belongs to an earlier sale, use the date versions rather than today's rate.
  • FQ:EUR changes only how the amounts are shown; FQ::USD changes which fares may be used.
  • A rate you type yourself (* to multiply, / to divide) is only a calculator — nothing official.
