Galileo Groups™
Galileo Groups is a cost-effective, automated solution for airline-approved travel agencies to sell and manage block/group space, which a participating airline has agreed to provide. Use of Galileo Groups is based on specific agreements between participating airlines and their approved agencies. When you employ Galileo Groups, your agents are able to increase efficiency and eliminate errors, and your agency gains greater control over inventory management and the booking process.

Highlights
- Galileo Groups fully integrates into your agents’ normal workflow for a nearly seamless transaction, providing the ability to view and sell space in the same manner as they would any other space.
- Confirmed space is held in a separate record and sold from that record into passenger and/or group PNRs.
- PNRs are managed as they are today for adding other space, ticketing, pricing, seat assignments, invoicing and schedule changes.
- The need to monitor unsold space is eliminated, as it is automatically returned to the airline based on the agreement between the airline and your agency.
Workflow
- Once your contract with a participating airline has been negotiated, Galileo Groups automates the entire booking process, eliminating passive PNRs.
- Your administration costs are reduced because Galileo Groups eliminates the need for discussions with airlines to communicate passenger names, seat selection, special meals and other booking data.
- Galileo Groups can be used passively for any airline allocation by allowing your agents to use the solution’s timesaving management tools, even if the airline has not fully enabled the Galileo Groups product.
- Travel agents have greater autonomy to control block and group space business.
Requirement
- Galileo Groups is available in the cryptic environment in Galileo Desktop 2.0.
