When

Use this card to enter travellers' names correctly in Galileo: adults, children with their passenger type, infants on a lap or on their own seat, and later fixes.

Check first

  • Spelling exactly as in the passport. The name field takes 2–55 characters, a name remark 2–33.
  • Dates of birth for every child and infant, and whether each infant sits on a lap or on its own seat.

Steps

Check it worked

*N lists every passenger with a number; children show their P-C code and date of birth, infants show I/ and their date of birth.

Traps

  • Name changes after the first save are limited by the airline. Expect NAME CHANGES NOT ALLOWED; a change the airline did not permit can lead it to cancel the seats. Ask the airline first.
  • You cannot delete a traveller from a saved file — only a lap infant. To take an adult or child out, divide them into their own file and cancel that (Divide a booking file (take travellers out)).
  • A one-letter surname is written together with the first name as the surname: Mr Ivan O becomes N.OIVAN/MR. Several family members each get their own name item.
  • A passport with only one name: airlines differ; one common form is N.LESTARI/FNU MRS (FNU = first name unavailable). Confirm with the airline.
  • Passport data, contacts and other SSRs for a lap infant go on the adult's name, not the infant's.
