When
Use this card to add what a ticket needs beyond the fare: the issuing airline, commission, payment, endorsements, tour code. Galileo calls these ticket modifiers. Written with TMU and a filed fare number they are stored on that filed fare until issue; written after TKP and the number they apply to that one issue only.
The modifiers
| Modifier | Meaning | Note |
|---|---|---|
C + airline | Plating (validating) carrier, e.g. CLH | Filled in by itself when plating carrier logic is on in your agency's account table. |
Z + figure | Commission in percent, e.g. Z3 | Overrides the commission tables (Commission — the commission tables and your own override). |
ZA + amount | Commission as an amount in local currency | |
F + payment | Form of payment: FS, FCK, or a card with *D expiry | See Form of payment — in the booking file and on the filed fare. |
EB + text | Endorsement box; up to 3, joined with *EB, 58 characters together | |
TC + code | Tour code, up to 14 characters | |
IT · BT | Inclusive or bulk tour: the fare box shows IT or BT and the construction hides the fare amounts | Taxes and Q surcharges still show. |
DTD | Issue the ticket only — no itinerary, no MIR | Print control. |
Several modifiers fit in one entry, in any order, separated by /.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TMU1CLH/Z3/FS/TCIT26LJU01 | Stores carrier LH, 3% commission, cash and a tour code on filed fare 1. | Everything ready before TKP. |
| 2 | TMU1EBNONREF*EBVALID LH ONLY | Stores two endorsements. | Restrictions printed on the ticket. |
| 3 | TMU1EB@VALID ON LH ONLY | Replaces the endorsement text. | @ followed by a value changes it. |
| 4 | TMU2Z@1/EB@NONREF/F@S/C@OS | Changes commission, endorsement, payment and carrier of filed fare 2. | Several changes at once. |
| 5 | TMU1EB@ · TMU1IT@/TC@ · TMU1P1-2F@ | Deletes the endorsement · the IT flag and tour code · the payment of passengers 1 and 2. | @ with nothing after it deletes. |
| 6 | *FF1 | Shows the filed fare with its modifiers. | Check before issuing. |
| 7 | TKP1 | Issues filed fare 1 with what is stored. |
Check it worked
*FF1 lists what you stored; after issue the e-ticket shows the endorsement, tour code and validating carrier.
Traps
- Stored or one-off? A modifier typed in the
TKPentry is used for that issue and not kept on the filed fare. In exchanges this matters: a payment given only inTKPis missing when the MIR is produced again later. For anything you may need again, useTMU. - Endorsements the automatic quote attached are changed or removed in the fare build:
*FB1, thenFBUEB/(orFBUEB/+ new text), thenFBFALL— see Change or restore a filed fare without a new quote. TD(ticket designator) is for US ARC and Canada BSP offices only.- The plating carrier must be allowed to ticket every airline on the ticket — Can this airline ticket the others? Interline and BSP tables.
