How do I sell a flight without availability in Galileo?

Type 0 + airline + flight + class + date + city pair + NN + seats, e.g. 0LH1456Y20NOVFRALJUNN2. AK instead of NN adds a passive segment for a booking made elsewhere (RL.TK*R5T9WA adds its locator); 0YYOPENYLJUFRANO1 adds an open segment.

When

You know the exact flight, class and date and want to sell it straight away, or you must record a flight that was booked outside Travelport+ (a passive segment).

Check first

  • Flight number, class, date and city pair are exact — there is no display to catch a typo.
  • A passive segment only records a booking that exists elsewhere; it reserves nothing.

Steps

YK marks a true passive segment with no messaging at all; whether you may use it depends on your agency settings (AAT). In Smartpoint, the Sell menu holds a direct-sell script with the same fields.

Check it worked

The segment shows with its status: a sold flight carries the airline's answer, a passive one AK, BK or YK (Segment status codes (HK, KK, HL, UC, TK, HX …) and what to do).

Traps

  • No display means no seat check before you sell. Look at the status after end transact: UC or UN means not confirmed.
  • Never use a passive segment to "hold" a seat; it holds nothing.
  • Conditional segments (IN, IX, NA, OX) are refused by most airlines.
  • Sell in the order of travel; most agencies have automatic segment placement switched on in the AAT.
